Well 400 Amps on 12.6 volts is 5040 watts, and at 14.4 it's 5760 watts. But mind you, 200 amp alternators rest at about 130 amps at idle and about 155 at 3000 RPM, and 200 amps at 8000RPM Thanks. I was only using a 200 amp as an example.

ok. what about dual alternators setups? like say two 200 amp alts, would that be 400 amps?

Bump

How do you calculate what size alternator you should be using? What size alternator should be used when running 3600 w/rms?

lol what's up with the girls at 0:35?? haha really must not have wanted to be in the video.

Have you seen the Eli Porter documentary? It talks about that freestyle & it would've been good if they didn't make him stop a couple time.

Well the subwoofer is a 10" it's an RE SEX than i'm trying to save up for. Maybe it's the surround being big that gets rid of a bunch of cone area or something?

wow this is all over the place but i'll stick with what derrick says and go with around 78sq inches

Damn, that's some shitty cone area, I thought it'd be more but whatever.

Edit. those responses were quick. Thanks.

if the SD of a subwoofer is 310 cm^2 when I convert cm to inches its 122 but i'd have to divide it by 2 for the squared part right?

x2 You can't "de-clip" music. One the peak has been plateaued it's there forever. Lowering it doesn't do anything but make it quieter like BJD3 said. The flat spot in the music will still get amplified and played through the speaker, which in turn will tend to overheat the coil. Play enough of these songs loud enough and you got Quiznos... Toasted Subs. It realloy depends on what your definition of "Clipping" is. If you take it in the sense that the waveform is squared off at the top, yes you can fix it, but just a little bit. The track will still have the distortion present and as previously mentioned any information that was above the waveform is now gone. When I get off work tonight, I will post pictures illustrating my point. When the top of the waveform is clipped off, that's clipping. That's the definition. Don't know that there's any other definition, IJS. It's in a different place in the audio reproduction chain than your amplifier (which most associate with clipping, as it's the most popular cause of a clipped signal) but that is still clipping. Any time there the waveform is flat and not at 0, that's bad for subs... the coil needs constant movement to cool itself and voltage without movement (Direct Current) will toast subs. Lowering the level at which this occurs doesn't do much if you are adjusting the volume to get it just as loud as it was before you attempted to "de-clip" the track. The flat spots have just as much amplitude. in order to really fix that, you'd have to have an algorithm to interpolate clipped samples, and then you'd have tons of distortion in the signal. You could go and graphically move each clipped sample yourself to try and fix it, at 88,200 times per second of audio, have fun with that. Just like once you compress a CD to mp3, you can never make it sound like a CD again. EDIT: After hearing all the crap edits, shitty mp3s, chopped n' screwed, etc. floating around on teh internets, I'm thinking improper amplifier gains are no longer the #1 source of clipping... X2.

Nice Job! SMD DD-1 is going global.

Liked the Back in Black. Nice Work. Next time try to upload them in MP3 Format & not WAV.

The Chris Jones song is actually on B&W's Audiophile CD.

The Real is Back 2 is the Jeezy mixtape and that should be sick, Games RED & Tha Carter IV if it's any better than Rebirth.

Right around the first line after 50hz

Most people say 80hz. But i dont know were 80hz its at it show 50hz at the beginning and the most is 200hz i dont know were 80hz falls into You're probably not going to get it spot on but 80hz should be right around 1/4 of the way.

Do you know what your mids are x-over'd at?

lol I wish I had a tomato slicer in my car.

What's an ABC box?

Why did that one guy get mad??

I just did a bass-edit to a song and when I export it and import it back i'll either get huge peaks where I put my new bass lines or when I try to amplify the song before I export it I get a "flat song" but the bass is at around -20db so that won't work. Can anybody offer some help?? please.

That sucks man. That should definitely have helped but i'd turn it down just a little bit more to be sure until you can get it checked with an O-scope
