  1. You can also go to your local dealer or autozone and have them check both batteries and run load tests on them to see if they are functioning properly or either have a bad cell. Might not be the case but its possible. Your alt might also be going bad, we dont know. You can also have it tested if you took it into autozone. Where is your ground for the battery in the back, and what about the 2 you supposedly have done for the big three? Did you sand these points down to bare metal?
  2. For a good H/O alt you're looking at minimum $400...more towards $550. I wouldnt run anything but DC power or Mechman for alts. I have not had experience with either YET, but both make high quality alts and have loads of people on this site and others to back them. As I said though, upgrade your alt power wire asap. That is definitely holding you back, much more than you might think. After that, upgrade your ground wire on your rear battery. This is also hurting your system. Your ground wire need to ALWAYS be the same size as your power wire. If you can, you need to run a separate run of 0 gauge from your front battery to your rear. This has been proven to increase voltage and even the TL score in several different builds I have seen.
  3. Dont worry about 45s, they normally dont help and sometimes even hurt your score. You need ALOT more port area, but as said, 2 6" aeros is probably impossible for this box. For that sub id go for probably 3.8-4 after with 16-20 port.
  4. Title on the video thread: Member Videos - Host 'em & Post 'em! System Vids / Off Topic Yes, this is the correct place. The asshole ninja'd me.
  5. Sounds subpar and shit song in my opinion. Bass is meh. The singers in the start of the song are terrible too.
  6. Also, those 'stories' that they were having terrible voltage drop with 350 amp alternators means they did something wrong. If you're pulling only 2kish watts and you have a good AGM battery and ANY quality H/O alternator, your voltage should be rock solid.
  7. So are you dropping down to what, 13.2? Thats not a lot of voltage drop for pushing somewhere between 1200-2k watts of power. Big three btw...do the 0 gauge alt run ASAP. The big 3 really doesnt do ANYTHING with only the ground wires done. The big thing is having the most power with the least resistance from your alt to your battery. Also, is the interstate 600 battery in the back a sealed AGM battery? If not, then it may not be helping your system much, as mixing AGM and non is ftl. Simply put, you dont have the electrical to get up to 14 volts with the system playing. Some cars are also PCM controlled so your voltage wont go above what the computer tells it to. You didnt specify WHAT you're dropping down to on voltage though. If its as far down as 13.2 you really dont have an issue. If it drops far below that than your amp is probably clipping to shit and pulling loads more power than it should, one of your batteries is bad (remove the non AGM one), or your alt could be going out or is putting out only 60-90 amps out and simply cant keep up (which is likely).
  8. Hrmmm...maybe I should do that too. Saves space for more power wire...or maybe I should just thread it under the car.
  9. hahaha That seat flex is teh sex. She reaches right down and licks the balls I bet.
  10. Ill look around for you...I believe there was a 7100 on DIYMA a couple month or so ago. Ill see if I cant find it.
  11. Nothing was missing? Check again.
  12. I doubt that will cut it for most people here. 4 of those packs should put a dent in it though.
  13. Qft. Only M series worth anything is the m5 and m6.
  14. he has a bass knob. He can turn the deck up all the way (to 40 out of 41) and then adjust the bass knob accordingly so as not to blow it mechanically. Distortion starts where i put the dot so no matter what, he isnt distorting until that point. We discussed whether it could take the power of the amp and its been stated its probably too much. Then again, as much as i like that amp, it looks so sexy..........nothing against it........but it dont do 15kw on 12v. I might be wrong but isnt it somewhere near 7500? I think it needs 17v to see 15k. Anyway its still a lot of amp for one sub. Seems to take it much better withOUT distortion then with. RMS Power @ 1 Ohm, 14.4v 14,800 RMS Power @ 1 Ohm, 16V 16,800 With box rise though...who knows.
  15. Distortion = harmonic distortion or clipping. Turning the amp up all the way until right before the point of clipping gets full power from your amps/HU while still sending clean power. Whether or not your speakers/subs can take that is up to you and them. The speakers will blow if its too much power, but thats a common sense issue if you're overpowering and you simply shouldnt do that if you dont want to run the risk of blowing speakers/subs.
  16. Is this for personal use or are you trafficking? More like new choice of Interior material http://secondskinaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6061 Bill, nice thread. How much deadener did you use? Im needing to do my whole civic and was wondering how many layers you needed to use? Or should I do just one full layer of alpha tiles? Hey jon, question for you. I have a decent amount of SS used, but I want as deadened as I can get as well as blocking out as much external noise as I can. What kind of 'layering' do I need. I've seen your post on how much you have in your truck from DIYMA, but was curious what you suggest. Between the damp pro/alpha tiles, then just LL pro? Or do I also need overkill? Educate meh! PM me if you have to.
  17. Take him to the fucking cleaners, simple as that. Not only are you dumb enough to be driving drunk, but without insurance? FUCK those people. Other than that, glad you're alive buddy and walk away from this with a life story to tell your grandchildren one day.
  18. Good shit. Will be better once the walls sealed and the extra powa is in.
  19. And just what american muscle car would take a bugatti? the SSC ultimate aero, WAS the fastest, and faster than the veyron for 2009/2010... which is an american car but its now ranked #3 in the fastest 3. SSC Ultimate Aero: 257 mph 2. Koenigsegg Agera R: 260 mph, 1. Bugatti Veyron: 267 mph So basically, the answer is none. yeah.......
  20. You can't do big three in the back. By defenition it is a upgrade to your alt and engine ground wires in the front of the car.
  21. Lol...so wait, how is this battery in the back going to be charged? Hooked to the front battery in series is the way it should be. Also mixing AGM and non AGM is a nono. Are you planning on just setting the battery back there by itself and grounding it off to the chassis? I'd suggest not. Just run the car and system on one 12v battery. And use the AGM and get rid of the autozone special.
  22. Figured dwright robbed a bank since wood is so expensive. Badass dude.
  23. Do I get an SMD finders fee? Awesome shit man, I'll be ordering some for my doors for sure but may stick with regular damp pro for trunk and floor and such. we shall see.
