thats what welding cable is for !! it withstands heat ... welding cable is good for +105C ... i use a mapp as tourch to solder lugs onto welding cable and you cant even touch the wire when done but the jacket doesnt even melt !! this for sure. Not sure why some people think it will melt faster that car audio brands.

Nice. I want that car!

what are you going to power with those?

i would stay away from youtube to mp3 tracks. i wouldn't trust the quality of music on there

yeah just checked out you build log. sweet amp rack btw. but yeah that definitely seems like the deck malfunctioned. you should email alpine the pictures and let them know what happened. your lucky you caught that fast because it could have definitely ended worse.

wow i have never heard of that happening. only way i could think it could happen is if the ground in the rca's somehow found a 12 volt source and shorted out. where the rca' run over any buss bars?

I did it for a friend and it turned out awesome. Just make sure te box is smooth because all imperfections show. And a plus with plastidip and mdf is that it won't peel off

From what I have seen, it's pretty common to have a stock front batt and different rears.

Found this, but it is a little expencive http://www.carrollstream.com/10HP_Diesel_Engine_With_Electric_Start_p/cs186es.htm

You could also use somthing like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CJ1V4a45zg I'm using this in a project of mine an it was from an old 3000 watt generator. It has a prety damn good amount of torque for a gas powered. motor

If you look hard enough, you should be able to find one. I have seen some 8hp diesel motors from old generators.

btw, what frequency was that burped at. it sounded like it was in the 100's

Thats pretty sweet. I wasnt exspecting an actual term lab score.

i just have to ask, how do you solder those so clean!? whenever i try, i always end up having the solder drip out the bottom. how do you avoid that?

Yeah that sounds like a scam. I can't think of anyone that would buy a car without taking a look at it.

Great work.

I'm having a hard time finding anything that looks like that vifa. Theres this but they are pretty pricy. http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-9-subwoofers/scanspeak-revelator-23w/4557t-02-9-aluminum-cone-subwoofer-black-cone/

Or these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-456 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-132

All I can think of is the jl w7 8" and the sa-8 v2.

That is going to be sick.

Any pics of this amp?

Check the invoice, if it says you ordered the d2 you could sent the sub back for the d2.

Is there any reason you want to run it at .5 ohms?

Lol at this thread. Verry random

Mdf sucks to paint. The best way to get a good finish is to coat the box with fiberglass resin and then sand it smooth. Then just paint it like you would anything else
