    Rockford Fosgate Question, are the bass knobs, and the peq knobs as notchy as the knob for the 360.3? Or are they smooth?

      price. I'm glad you didn't have any troubles with yours, being who you are, and being who you are with Fosgate, congrats on the authorizations btw.

    Well, the beast has been updated. Pics tonight, but I got a lot of work done yesterday. Heads need machined and cleaned up for sure. Also made a stupid move. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187138-94-ford-beast-350-obs-cclb-motor-rebuild-project-pass-head-is-off-updated/

      Yes it is, and now that I'm this deep, I wonder if I just bit off too much. But I'm in it now, and the worst case that happens at this point, is I don't sell it and hang onto it. But we'll have to wait and see.

    The usual supercap used is the Maxwell 3000F 2.7V. 6 are required in series to be able to function in a 14V vehicle environment. The 3000F Maxwells are rated each at about 200A of max continuous current draw. Current in series is the same so a bank of 6 are still restricted to that ~200A (max continuous). 1900A peak. So to be safe, you'd want at least one bank for every 200A of current your system consumes. If you have an amp which draws 1000A, then 1000/200=5 banks would give you a very safe buffer. More banks will naturally give you more energy capacity. It's difficult to do an apples-apples comparison of batteries to caps as they are very different creatures. Batteries store TONS of energy while caps can store and release current very quickly. It also depends on what you use them for....burping or demoing. If in doubt..........just get 32 banks (192 caps) like AMI has.... Yes, that's the ticket. Here let me just get out my check book and pay for that with my State Office Tech Salary! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure we'll be talking more about this at some point.
  6. scooter99
    I think for me the part that makes me nervous is the unknown. The fact that I don't completely understand them. How do you know how many you need, etc? Do you replace batteries with them, or if you had batteries would you run them along with those batteries? Stuff like that. If you're replacing a battery with these, say you had a D7500, how many would you need to equal that? I won't like, I saw this on facebook yesterday too, and I thought "hm xs power came out with an energy drink". You know like NOS did. LOL OH RIGHT, Like none of you thought the same thing!!!

    Officially torn on what to do. Lot's of internal decision making to do in the next few weeks. Great pricing on Ampere and nice looking quality equipment. But then on the other hand looking at a great deal to stick wtih DC and move up to DC Amps and away from the Crescendo's. All will be told when the beast is done and sold. BIG BIG Project coming in the future. That is all.

      Ampere, Fi, Tantric, Beyma, lmfao. I'll give shouts to any company I love. DC, Sundown, Nendo, Crossfire...still all killer companies.

      Ok. Interesting.

  8. scooter99

    For those of you who do blow-thrus have you ever had to sell your vehicle? What do you do when you sell it or trade it in? Are you leaving it that way, or welding the plug back in, or what? I'd like to hear your input. I have a decision to make and I'd like to know this part.

      I've discussed the idea of welding the plate back in then bedlining over it, both sides. And the back of the cab. Sound deadning over the front of the cab cut.

    3. scooter99

      scooter99

      Thanks guys. Boom I actually had that same idea. I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I get there.

      If it was welded back in and the bracing and stuff was welded back in as well I don't see how it would be a problem but I wouldn't just not tell someone I was selling it to.

      It's no different than something that might be done after a wreck.

  9. scooter99
    Makes perfect sense to me. THank you.
  10. scooter99
    Hey guys. Glad to be back around Kyle. Will, thanks for the response, that was what I was hoping for. Ok I'll do that. Going to order them now. Hey Will, since you responded, I know you've done a bunch of custom stuff, how hard is it to put an amp rack in the seats? The last time I was going to try it I failed epically! I have the 06 F250 now, and I'd like to put the amps in the seat bottom so when you fold it up, bam there she is, but still hidden otherwise. I'm guessing it's just a matter of hollowing it out and then building the rack, probably out of glass right? Then making sure the fabric that's remaining fromt the seat stays tight? Have you done that before?
  11. scooter99
    Ok guys I need some help. I was trying to do 4 M38's in the back of my F250 behind the seat. If I move the seat up, and use fiberglass instead of wood to cut down the displacement, I can squeeze 3.03 cubes out of the enclosure after sub displacement. Now after that I have to add a port. To do a 6" Aero Port at 35 hz I'm looking at a 17.138" long port. That brings me down to about 2.75cu ft left. Is that enough on a Crescendo 3500? Or do I need the final net to be 3 cu ft. Second option is to go all sealed which I'm not sure I want to do. But I have the space for that. Last option is to just do 3 and run them at a 1.34 ohm load and I would have enough space for those as well. I guess I could run a pair of XL10's too. I need some options folks. Thanks!

    Well it's official everyone. The Loud and Low 8th Gen Civic is gone! Dealership picked it up about 20 minutes ago! Traded her and my wife's Accord in for a 2015 Ford Explorer! Next up is to fix the beast so I can sell her so I can lift it, do wheels and tires and do the audio in the F250. Things are changing in the Scooter99 garage!!

      scooter99

      Yes sir! We're a ford family over here. I tried to trade in the f250 and the beast in for a 2014 f15 fx4 with a 6" lift, wheels and tires, burgundy, with 5 miles on it. They wanted $61k for it and wouldn't budge on price or monthly. But I'm happy with my f250 new to me truck. We're going to buy the warranty they offer for the 6.0 p.s. For $3k that's a huge piece of mind with those known issues.

    3. Broke_Audio_Addict

      Broke_Audio_Addict

      Damn 60k for an fx4, you could get a fully loaded raptor for that.

    4. scooter99

      scooter99

      This thing was loaded. Plus the raptor is ugly. I'd never have that in my driveway! But either way we didn't get it.

  13. scooter99
    Is that a problem Will? I'll come visit your sexy ass!! WOOT!
  14. scooter99
    Ok thanks guys. I appreciate you answering back. One of these times I'm up visiting with Jon, I'd love to come by and check out the warehouse. Thanks again!
  15. scooter99
    Hey Rusty, I know this thread is damn near a year old, but I have a question. First you said "It's a Ford 4 door 350.........". Is that in reference to the picture above? If so do you know how much air space it was, etc? I just picked up an F250 CC and I would love to do 4 behind there if I could figure out how to squeeze them in there. Maybe I can cruise on up with it and we can pull Jon's ass out from under the dually for 5 minutes and figure something out! I'm due for a trip up to hang out anyway. Also, was your enclosure ported, or sealed. I'm at work and can't see the video to find out. Thanks, sorry for the bump on the old thread. Beautiful work!

    SOMEONE GOT A NEW TOY THIS WEEKEND!!! 2006 Ford F250 Crew Cab Short Bed Lariat with the 6.0 Powerstroke. Black exterior with grey leather interior and wood grain (those will have to go). She's a beauty. Well taken care of by my in laws. I'm anxious to get a plan put together.

      It's more than that if I have someone else do it. But the parts are $2500 plus some of the extras. I've already priced it out. Yeah, get started, as soon as I get some free time. BTW I start a new job on the 27th. Back to normal 8-5 hours. Still with the State but different department with moving up options. Great opportunity.

    Ever wanted to do something you know you shouldn't do, don't do it, and regret not doing it even though you know not doing it was the right thing to do?

      So many times. There is this thing called karma though. I got enough bad luck, don't need bad karma on top of it.

    2. scooter99

      scooter99

      That actually has a lot to do with why I didn't do it.

  18. scooter99
    ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Good my man. No ill feelings over here. Ya'll know me by now, trying to always do something a little different.
  19. scooter99
    Not really. But that's why I asked the question. Does anyone really look at RMS around here? NO. We're always testing the limits, going out of the box, pushing the envelope, insert metaphor here. I just chose to ask a question. Excessive, and Ridiculously Excessive is pretty objective. Especially around here. lol
  20. scooter99
    Thanks Rusty. Thanks Dolarbilz. That's why I ask the question.
  21. scooter99
    Well I don't "have to ask" but why not ask the man who makes them if they can do it? If you never asked in the beginning you wouldn't know to do it now right? basic math would tell you that if you're getting 5k out of that amp, which you won't due to box rise and a list of other issues I won't get into here because I barely understand them myself, then you're only 200 watts above peak recommended power on those subs. 1200 x 4 = 4800 I know I can put a 3500 watt amp on an XL 12. I know I've seen guys put bigger on them. So if you don't ask the question, especially to the man himself, and you just go throwing big power on subs that may or may not take it and you blow them, then your gamble didn't pay off and you're up shit creek. Then at that point, you have no business doing those things. However, if you ask the question, you run proper power (High Output Alt, battery bank, big gauge wire, clean signal, etc) then you can do lots of things past "manufacturer's power rating". That's why I asked the questions. Lots of variables.
  22. scooter99
    I've gotten a few answers here on this thread, but no one like you has answered me. What do you think Rusty? Can they take it?
  23. scooter99

    Getting so tired of this foot issue, which is causing my back issue because I've changed my gait and I'm overweight due to not being able to exercise CAUSE OF THE DAMN FOOT!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH End Rant!

    1. _paralyzed_

      _paralyzed_

      You can lose weight without exercising. All you need to do is cut your calories, you just lose it faster if you cut calories and exercise. You need to cut calories anyway if you want to lose weight, not being able to exercise is just your current excuse to eat like a fatty.

  24. scooter99

    4th order question. If you have a design for 2 subs, and want to end up doubling it, do you double the port as well or do you do different port specs?
