Hell yeah congrats to mechman!!!!

Cool Cool from what I see that may be more affordable than what I'm imagining hell what I'm thinking about probably already exists but things like what I'm asking about and what you are using beats a clamp and to me and you at least its cool to see what the alternator is doing when your revving up RPM's
-
Don't know if anyone has asked Tony but will theree ever be a meter about size of VM1 that can display what an alternator is putting out? I think it would be cool to have.
-
Great first post! Nice looking Alt!
-
Insanity!!! For sure! Poor little car gonna have all hell kicked out of it!!!
-
X2 on the D7500 and call it a day
-
or just one D7500

You should always keep your stock alt and belt on hand for times like this. I'm pretty sure its what N8 is talking about though.
-
install the 360.3 software, when you run setup it has meters that represent each channel you can lower the subwoofer level down. Or just keep the gain on amp down as amp getting a good signal it doesn't take as much to make full output.

Badass Tony!!!! All your education videos showing how the DMM / Clamp " methods have not een in vain, After this tool you can rest your head at night ...Until you make another tool

The one with sticker scuffed was once Chevy4x4blazer's. Install been awhile but thought I would share
-
D6500 up front and three d7500's in back.

I have two VM1 one wired to front battery and second one directly into amp. When I turn truck on at the moment its cranking for a second it flickers but all audio is off. Can some one explain what is happening or if it's OK or is there something wrong. Thanks in advance.

when we moved to the single black cord instead of the red/blue/black wires, the color changed a little. The white one is now the remote. Inside the adapter, they are wired together but when you cut the cord, there is 3 separate ones. Its pretty simple. As simple as it gets
Got it!!!!!

Having a second VM-1 can be a great tool. By plugging one into the 12V (lighter) outlet, you will be reading the voltage at battery/alternator basically because there is very little current flowing to the 12V lighter outlet. Voltage drop is calcuated by this formula Amps X Ohms = Volts, thus is you basically have zero amps flowing, you can not have a voltage drop, and thus you will be reading the battery/alternator voltage. HOWEVER, voltage AT your amplifier(s) can be a totally different thing. Huge currents can flow to the amplifier(s), even though the resistance of the wiring is small, it will still cause a voltage drop. I connected one VM-1 to my lighter, and one right at the amplifier's connections by lengthing the wires going to the VM-1 (you can make these as long as you like without causing any issues or voiding your warranty). With music and subwoofers, I see 0.8V - 1.2V lower at the amplifier. On the dyno I'm seeing 1.6V drop at the amplifier. 1/0 AWG is good, but it ain't that good. I am pretty confident that most people who try this will be very surprised how much voltage drop at the amplifier they have. I challange you to measure yours and post your results.
By having multiple units you can check your system like this, and try to correct it by using better distribution/fuses and wiring.
If you are wondering, the basic formula for how much more power your amplifier would make with different battery voltage is
((Higher battery voltage / lower battery voltage) ^2 ) x how much power you made at the lower voltage
Example, I just dyno'd the T2500.1bdcp in my Jeep. It did 2365 watts into 1 ohm with the battery voltage AT THE AMP at 12.24Vdc. If I could keep 12.6Vdc at the amplifier, the amp should dyno this much power:
((12.6V / 12.24V) ^2 x 2365 watts) This works out to 2506 watts at 12.6V. Rockford rates their power at 14.4V so, clearly this amplifier makes rated power @ 1 ohm and then some.
If by some act of God I could keep 13.8V at the amplifier I could get that amp to put out:
((13.8V / 12.24V) ^2 x 2365 watts) This works out to 3006 watts.
Now this is only true if you have an amplifier with an unregulated power supply. Some amplifiers, like JL slash series for instance, have fully regulated supplies so this math doesn't apply. Those amplifiers will put out the same power reguardless of the battery voltage within a resonable range.
I bought one recently but it has lighter adapter is the white wire remote turn on? I have a NS1 do I hook it to any one of the sets of power/ground? or to a battery in the back closest to the amp?

got them mounted and did a little push test and the surround doesnt rub.
That is just all kinds of awesome! Those motors are beautiful.
Maybe you can buy a Longer screwdriver and cut handle off then stick it into a drill. I'd try that if I had all DAT AZZ to work around. Thats one badass setup and anyone that has ever recorded anything knows things sound night and day different from in person to a recording thanks for sharing
-
X2 on release dates please. The temp gauges are cool as hell and will definatly help out
-
Take yours off and send it to mechman to have it "tested" And to dereileak After the car warms up alts wont put out 100% rated power simply because of heat. Add to that temps where you live and RPM turn on of your alt at idle compared to having to raise RPM's up just to get a max output vary. In most cases the ratings on alts are cold start and a idle and max RPM range.

Two badass builds right here!!! both builds are killer! Keep up the great work!!!

Dont think we can post links. I posted some last night and they are gone. You can find him on Facebook and caco there's two big threads you guys can read up on fixed ports and Adjustable ports.

Thats badass! you have a couple I'm so close to using mine I can't wait. Pychoacustics a cool dude too! I'm glad to see his work being used across the web
-
yup straight from FB world "The NS-1 and 1500D v.3 shipment is due at our shop either Friday or Monday next week -- we'll ship out all the pre-orders ASAP!"
-
Dealer over on another site says maybe early may but I don't know what's going on today if anything arrived or if they got updated to a delay again. The day isn't over yet.
XS CS. Ill never go anywhere else. Thank you.....
in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)

Buy $30 of beer and hold tight XS will get you straight.
