Damn guys I can't wait to get my 5K!!! I am already SO GLAD I went with DC, and I haven't even got it yet! Just wish I coulda went w/ a 12K, or a 9K, but I didn't have the electric to back it. Maybe one day??? Oh and since I haven't seen it on this thread yet, DC FTMFW!

Hell yeah dude! I love it! Ty so much for posting!!! Very nice info

Here is where I have found some areoport kits. You may find this useful.

Alt bump!

None of my business but I'd watch what I say...

Yep, I got the red ones for my 18's!

Freakin rock on!!! They are good! I play a little, but not quite that good!

$175 Shipped! This really is a hell of a deal! It's headed for eBay tonight, don't let this one pass you by!

you know rise is caused from the box correct? the way you keep saying it you make it seem like its the amp, his box is prolly terrible.. in my own setup i only clamped 2,3xx out of mine rising from .5 to 2.6 (which is way more than even its 2 ohm rating) Well see that makes a lot more sense to me, he must have a HUGE amount of rise then correct? Like, he is prolly rising from something like .5 to 4.2 or some crazy number like that? So I guess I need to learn what exactly it is about the box that creates the rise, so I can try to avoid as much as possible? Sorry I am TRYING to learn? from my understanding, larger boxes usually help knock down rise, as well as direct connections from the amp to the woofers.. speaker terminals/bolts can help factor into rise.. theres no way to get 100% around it, and musical rise is way different than 1 note rise, on music frequencies are constently changing so you can be rising anywere from 2-4 even 8 my old kicker CVX12s on my aq1200d i was rising to just over 3 ohms, i bypassed the speaker terminals and went directly from amp to woofers and kept it to around 2.5, gained about .8 musically, i went from 142s on music to just over 43s Thanks man, that helps me understand a lot. So would the reason 4th orders do well be related to this?

I just want to know why that 3500 is only doing 1000-1500??? Is his rise really hurting him that much? Can someone please explain?

PRICE DROP!!! $175 shipped - The same price as a stock/ OEM alt!

look up team pulse car audio ric thorton 2 15 dd in truck with sundown 3500 and excessive amperage alternator doing a 152.8 i beleive after box rise clamping a lil over 1000 watts i witnessed it today myself I believe it, I'd just really like to see it too! And only 1K from a 3500? Damn I'd be disappointed, that is until I seen that 53....

If its a serious thing you want to do as a career I think the MECP is a waste of time at the start. All you do is read a box and take a test. No real hands on experience. No joke, but there has been people who took this coarse already, apply for a job, and not even know how to do a head unit instal in a simple vehicle. Some places will even pay for the mecp course after you work for them. Theres a good bit of useful info gained from MECP but unless your actually doing it, it will be hard to do it in real life when the time comes. But then again, I learn things differently then others, and the way I see the MECP stuff is like taking history classes in high scool, hell I only remember Christopher columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 because of the jingle that goes with it.. LOL You are much better taking hands-on type workshops, but they cost a nice chunk of change. http://www.stevemead...coming-classes/ for example, but this will better yourself better then reading a book. But again, these corses are something you would want to take after you have a job, and are in a field that you enjoy doing. The best advice is to find a local shop to you, one that you feel is decent (but being new to the field it maybe hard for you to get the feel of it being a reputable shop or not) but once you find a place, talk to the manager, and try to get some sort of apprentice type deal worked out, where your there a few hours a day, emptying trash, stock shelfs, grabbing parts, and watching the installers do their things. Just remember in most shops, stereo installs are not the companies bread and butter income. Lots of it is keyless entry/remote start/alarm installs, and there maybe days where you got 8-14 cars to install remote starts on in 1 day, and may not do a system install for a couple weeks!! This is a big misconception to most people and they think they will just be doing a lot of stereo installs. I don't think it could have been said any better!

Now THAT is a sweet ass ride!!!

Bump

Team work FTW! Hellz yeah!!! And Rusty PLEASE call me when you have time tomorrow, thanks man!

Sweet! So I take it they are available now? If so, I'll probably call you sometime this week to order my XL 18's. That shit looks so damn good! I don't know which one I like best?
