Lithium Weirdness
mrd6 replied to rocking.that.eclipse's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Did you load test the d3400 after pulling it out? -
Do you know your Alts are making power? Play the system loud and clamp your your alts. I have 4 3.5ks @.5 each running off a single mechman 220a. With some caps. Rarely drop below 12s. I shut it off and charge up of I see 11.x. Something is up, the problem is not the lithium

zv4 or ns3 12 on 3k
mrd6 replied to Lakeshow94's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
I run my zv4s on a 3.5k each daily. Never had any issues...if you care about numbers and cost isn't an issue, go ns3. If its just for daily listening, its probably not worth the extra money over a zv4 -
When choosing batteries
mrd6 replied to Larry BigCountry's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Pretty much. I'm in the exact same boat. Now I'm trying to run 15k rms, still on the same 240a mechman with 8 banks of supercaps. It works...okay...but I'm not happy with it. I'll be finding someone to help.me fab up dual alts this winter. -
When choosing batteries
mrd6 replied to Larry BigCountry's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Take my build as an example when I ran a ddzse, 7k rms. I ran a single mechman 240 alt and 6 xp3000s. This allowed me to play close to full songs full tilt before giving it a break. With that setup I could demo for 1-2 minutes balls to the wall and stay above 12 volts. In the amount of time it took to switch songs, voltage was back and ready to go again. 240 amps of alt is really only good for a 3.5k amp max unless ypu start adding lots of batteries and or caps. -
DAMP ROPE Has Arrived
mrd6 replied to Second Skin's topic in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!
...specifically the word removable. Have you ever tried to remove secondskin? I would think this product would work better for more permanent applications. Haha and now i'm off to find a reason to order some...- 38 replies

Thanks for the reply, Hunter right? I was actually texting him about this earlier this week lol. He has banks of 7 caps and is charging at 16.2. So a slightly different scenario. Id like to avoid having to buy 10 more caps to run banks of 7 for now but if its my only option it'll just have to wait til next season :/

I recently sold off all of my xp3000s in favor of running banks of supercaps. I have 8 banks (soon to be 10) of 6 caps now so my max charging voltage is 16.2V. I mostly compete in IASCA classes which require you to have a battery under the hood. So I can't totally ditch batteries but I want to charge a bit higher to squeeze as much out of my system as possible. So my question to the XS crew is: can I run a d1400 daily under the hood but charge around 15.8v? Will this damage the battery over time or will I just see a little less performance out of it than if I were in the mid 16s?

N64

Lol that last parts the key. Drunk driving Mario kart used to be a classic prefunk for me. You have to finish your beer before you finish the race otherwise you automatically lose hahah -

XS Power super caps?????????
mrd6 replied to audiofanaticz's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Interesting...Can't say anything about the internals but the + and - plates on these are certainly different than the Maxwell caps I run. Looking forward to some comparison tests between the two and whether or not the XS can be wired up in a bank with the Maxwells. I very much like that they are black too, the blue does NOT go well with the rest of the rodeo lol -
why do other forums hate on the dd-1 so much?
mrd6 replied to gmoxley1's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
^I think the results would really depend on the amp. Some amps will put out ALOT of power past 1% distortion (IIRC thats the percent the DD-1 detects) but they will still not yet be driven into clipping. Other amps will distort and clip at the same point. I would liken this to the certified and uncertified amp dyno modes. I would imagine amps that are further apart on these two modes when put on the dyno would have a much greater variation in score. -
Even he doesn't know!

X or zv4
mrd6 replied to FlashvHD's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
How much air space do you have? the zv4s will be louder if you cant give enough space for all of the xs... -
