Thanks! But yeah, on my amp it's just a switch that goes from 0-8 db, it set on 0.

I do, and no it's not. Here is the thread showing where all my settings are Everything is the same except the electrical and enclosure, those have changed since then.

I plan to redo big 3 when someone who knows what the hell they are doing is available to help me. How do I check my alt with DMM? I do have that !!

Yes, I am aware of this. This has been established on another thread Here is my big 3 fail thread

It is a cheap eBay alternator, came with stats that stated 80 amps @ 800 RPM, 125 amps @ 1200RPM and I think 160 @ 3000 RPM. But I needed to replace my stock 80 amp anyways because it was going bad so I just put a little extra into this, figure it would be much better than the stock 80 amp. I idle at 14.4 with everything off, if the subs are on it drops immediately to the low 12's, but if I put the RPMs to about 1000 is stays at about 13 volts. No big 3, tried that and dimming just got worse, Do plan to redo when I find someone to help me. And I'm sorry but I don't know what a voltage regulator is, so no, I don't think I have one if it's something aftermarket.

I am running about 1000 wrms. I have a 160 amp alternator and still having dimming issues, rarely but it pisses me off when it happens, plus my Stinger is constantly bouncing between 12.1 and 13.6 volts (sometimes drops to 11.9, rarely drops this low, goes right back up when gas is pressed) I want it constantly in the high 13's or 14 volts. So I was thinking of adding a battery in the trunk and was looking at the Kinetiks and found one on eBay. It is the Kinetik HC800 for $129 shipped. Is that an ok deal for those batteries? Would this be a good upgrade for me, or a waste of money and pointless? If I decide to get a new amp that did 2krms, would this hold up to that? And lastly is there any difference between the HC800 and the KHC800? Thanks!!

yeah those are just the first ones to pop up when I searched the site, was just making sure we were on the same page about what you were suggesting... But still, how would I attach my factory connections to the battery if the posts are covered?? Thanks!!

What terminals? My biggest problem is my lack of knowledge, not budget... Tell me what I need, specifically please, in terms a noob like me would understand... When you say terminals I assume you mean something like this. Stinger SHT301 Hpm Stereo Expert Battery Terminals I have looked into these, but my factory connections that connect to the battery have to slide over the posts, so how would I work that out? I assume just remove factory connections and tie them in??

Everytime i try to download itunes it gets to the very end and says "couldn't access network location %appdata%\" I have tried downloading using IE and Fire Fox but nothing works... Any ideas? BTW I just did a complete restore on my PC less than a week ago so it may just be that I need a driver or something...?? PC is a Dell Inspiron 530 if it matters..

I appreciate your attempts to help but I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say. All I really got from that was the black wire going to the top of the motor is not a good ground. There is a factory ground already there, so while it may not be the best ground, it's a ground. Are you just saying locate a better one? And the positive wire (0 gauge from alternator) was hooked to the positive on the battery, and fused @ 300 amps.

Also, how do you guys put the video directly on the page instead of going through the link?

IMO as far as sniping goes, Darth Revannn makes the best montages I have seen, unless you are looking for trick shots... But for actual gameplay this dude is beast! I just picked a random episode with some COD 4 and MW2 in it. Darth Revannn episode 34

Yeah I'm sure plenty of luck involved and 100's of misses to get clips like the bank shot off the helicopter... But still a good tage IMO.

ughhh... I need to quit too. I wish you much success OP!

Just watched an 8 minute tage from your boy and he's pretty beast. M40A3 FTW! Lovin the COD4 clips I miss that game, though I'm looking at it as I type... Maybe I'll go play that shit...

I tried finding one for under $25 also but couldn't find anything that was actually branded, so I just did the Stinger, and glad I did I love that little blue meter!

At least the most impressive I've seen... Shits nuts. This popped up in my suggestion box, not me or anyone I know. Black Ops tomahawk bankshot montage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nE4VcHCkH4

Well, I never wired anything other than power to my alternator. So are you saying just that wire running to the top of the motor "wrong spot" could have caused the dimming? Or how everything is wired at the battery clamp? Sorry, just having a hard time understanding what you are saying...

Well, I undid everything, something wasn't right, prob catchin a bad ground somewhere but it was weird, headlights were dimming BAD, even though voltage was staying between 13.4 and 14.1...? I'm just going to wait until I'm around someone that for sure knows what they're doin... Cuz I don't.

Hmmm... good knowledge for the future, but like I said I got these new so it was what it was... These fckrs pound though so I'm happy! EDIT- USED... Lol FML!!

Thank you guys! Need more power now!!

Can I ask why you say this? I assume dual 1 ohm coils are not available on stock level 3's?

Well, I wired each sub up to 2 ohms and bridged them together which should have given me 1 ohm, but I got 1.3...?? did u check each vc with a dmm & make sure they are all good?... I did but it was a month or so ago. I believe they all read 4 or 4.1 EDIT 1 OR 1.1 NOT 4 LOL...
