Thank you for the quick responses... also what should i fuse the batteries with? 300a or should i use lower? I have three amps i am running 2 zx1000.1 and zx650.4. Also i have a cap a 6 farad i am not using would i benefit from using it or should i just leave in the closet.
-
wont be bad on the batteries, just pos to pos fused, and neg to neg, or you can ground in the back to the frame
Great thank you appreciate that just saved me the money to buy that
-
just wire the batts in parallel, no need for a isolator.
so pos to pos on the battery w/ fuse in between each battery. I have searched this before and some people say it is bad on the batteries, although the diehard is maybe just at 2 months and the yellow top is new. So i am just curious will it be bad on the batteries. Also i dont plan on running with the car off anyway.
-
Ok so i have picked up a yellow top, got it new for $50. so temporary till i get the xs power, and i am going to wire it in the cargo of my ford escape. I was looking at This relay >>> http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_28365_The-Install-Bay-IB500.html and think it would fit my needs. My main battery is a diehard gold http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02850640000P I do have the big 3 upgraded. A h/o alt will be ordered soon just saving up for it. I am wondering is it a good or bad idea to use the relay? If not what options do i have for wiring the second battery up.
-
I don't have one. But something just occurred to me. If I'm crossing over into the USA, wouldn't they get suspicious of a huge ass enclosure in the trunk? What if they try and tear it open? Anyone have experience with this? Seen some news articles about meth smuggling and hiding people in there as well..
where you coming rom? or you just asking
i came oversees and it wasnt an issue

Ok lol wat about clarion.... Very first hu i ever bought was clarion and it was a piece of crap.. Maybe it was just that deck but anyone like them...or even dual???
haha my first hu was dual. the face motor totally crapped out on me with a few months. they are not any good either
-
My boy as a boss and he blew the internal fuse within a week. it was hooked up right cuz i did it. kept blowing the fuse even after putting a larger fuse in so i just ran it direct w/o fuse. told him he should scrap it cuz im sure it will mess up eventually running w/o fuse. i stick with pioneer also.

-
mechmans AVBM is awesome. about as simple as it gets.
will that only work on a mechman alt
-
common give us a hint as to your creative test? lol or just email me.
yup just wanna know what other people would do... me personally would use a box with a speaker on the inside having one of the walls a piece of sheet metal with a deadening material on it and get vibrational results. Also putting like a small fan in the box to see how much noise it would cancel out. But i dont know i want to see what other people ideas were?
-
There are standardized tests for testing these materials. Oberst Bar SAE J1637 and ASTM E-756.
Out of my own curiosity (without the aid of any company, i.e. NOBODY FROM SECOND SKIN HELPED ME), I set forth and tested a little more than 30 different products. I spent close to $2K collecting samples and figuring out a fairly straight forward and reliable test method. And like I've said many times, I am extremely reluctant to release this info for several reasons. The data collected would probably piss off all but a handful of companies and/or individuals. That and since I work for a company that makes some of these products tested, people will of course bitch and complain about the results no matter how good or bad they may be.
You can actually test these products a multitude of ways at home, it just takes a bit of creativity.
Well i guess after your test you wont disclose the information, but i guess you could say are you getting what you pay for? There are several products that are cheaper in the wallet, but is it cause of the thickness of material. i know what its made of will play a factor as well so which material would be best I have seen several alternatives like peel and seal but i personally think thats out of the picture. i dont want alternatives i want positive results that will last.

just dont use fatmat....im in the process of stripping this shit out of my suburban,
What is a main issue with that product? im down in texas also so how much did the heat play a factor in that?
-
I am asking more or less if a person was able to get material from several companies that make deadening material what are ways you would test the differences?
-
sounddeadenershowdown.com
been to that site read it and there was good info, but was interested in actual differences in product brands. why choose dynamat, fatmat, second skin etc. If people have done there own type of test and have results with data of any sort.
-
If you were to test different types of sound deadening material how would you go about doing that??
-
Thank you everyone for the input it seems i may be going with the mechman or mike singer... mech was a 100 more and the mike singer seems to have some good reviews as well so its between either one now just to get the cash and get one

have gotten quotes on h/o alternators from: DC: 250a for $589. https://www.dcpowerinc.com/ quality power auto:250a for $330. http://www.qualitypowerauto.com Mike Singer: 260a for $375. http://singeralternators.com/ still waiting on reply from mechman and ohio gen
Anyone have experience with quality power auto, or mike singer? im pretty sure everyones experience with dc is nothing but good but trying not to break my pockets. an extra 200 could always go towards something else
