I've been having the same issue about how to calculate amp wattage from just a multimeter versus what it's rated for and it keeps disappearing... I tried to search this info in the forums but can't find it anywhere... to me it's just a slight irratation lol

ON the amp i have now, I've had it only ever go into protect and blow fuses due to me not realizing that my subs were wired down to 1 ohm and the amp was drawing too much current through it... other than that it never gets hot at all... granted it is a low powered amp but it still has that capability to go thermal protect

LOL same here. I have some of the strangest music on my ipod... Although most recently (like two days ago) i came across a guy called Amon Tobin and his album ISAM... truly fascinating music though i can't really classify it personally i haven't been able to stop playing "Lost and Found" by him since i heard it... It has a nutty bass hit that surprised the hell outta me

Damn man! I need you to follow me around in my town so the cops can keeps their eyes off of me hahaha Edit: IO've heard this song a while back and could never figure out wat it was called.... Thanks Fish!

If the man is having fun then let him... Obviously he don't give a fuck what anyone else is thinking of him as he drives through salt water... He just cares that it's fun... Alot people say that having an extreme aftermarket stereo is stupid... but do ya'll care? I know i don't cause i have fun running wires and listening to my music...

looks like a job for a Reubens Tube!!

Honey Badger Don't give a F*CK!!!

Is it possible you mixed up which terminal your ground went to? I did that once (and never will again haha) and luckily my fuses took the hit (actually melted one of 'em) Sometime when you get distracted with other things you end up not paying attention to the connections...

Ray isn't designing boxes anymore. According to his thread At all??? I thought he said that he might if it was within reason... Craziness... so it all comes down on Ram-D's head?

well both Ray and Ram-Designs get booked quite often so you might not get a PM for a bit. To my understanding Ray will shut off his PM's when he gets too busy.

look at my diagram i upgraded all my wires to 0 gauge. i ignored the stock wiring and just added 0 gauge. from alt to bat with 0 gauge and 2 new ground wires from negative to frame and to engine everyone foes it different for different applications check out the link below it will teach you how to do it! this will explain how to do it http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/13280-how-to-do-the-big-3-tutorial/ Wow gotta say ya'll are pretty damn respectful... I was afraid to ask that question for a long time and recently i started searching online and learned it that way... Needless to say... Big 3 is a must if you're going to run that high (i would advised it at over 500-600 rms)... I'm planning on doin the big 3 and i'm only running about 400 rms (need to get some readings to be sure though cause this amp is very elusive in the specs....) and as far as the batts go, I personally would get a couple red/yellow tops in there.

Ignorance is bliss.... lmfao

A little typo and it turns into trollfest 2011 lmfao in all seriousness tho... i would suggest "Nuke 'Em" - Datsik it has some mixed solid bass lines in it that will hit between 29-35 at once

I think I'm goin to do that when my wife gets home... we've had a few thefts in out neighborhood lately and we can't afford an alarm yet...

Don't seem like lmao When i was at AI i had a pair of fosgate 12's (not sure of the model)on a PA amp at about 500-600 watts and when my neighbors below me pissed me off i'd give 'em a shot of 30 Hz lmfao Being 3 stories up my roommate told me he could hear it outside clearly... good times....

well you gotta start thinking how you want it to be wired up. I.E. Do you want the internal sound card to do the job? or do you want something like an external usb audio driver (like an M-Box)? then you gotta think about primary functions you are going to be using and how you would change them easily while you are driving. IMHO i think the mac mini would be a pain in the ass to do ass opposed to building a mini pc to do what you need it to (the high end audio cards you can get for a pc would be better than the ones that come in a mac... and i am a mac fan btw lol) as far as rigging a touch screen to it all check out a bunch of the DIY sites like Instructables or Make Magazine. Another thing to consider is the wattage you are going to be needing to power everything as well as amp draw on your electrical system. All in all it will be a pain in the ass to figure out and for me (if i could afford such a project) it would be totally worth it. -Good luck on it and keep us posted on how it's going (hell you might even be able to make some tut's for others with your research)

that is not what it said when I read it. it said something about he was the loudest in town and louder than you. oh well glad he changed it to not sound like a tool. wow damn, ninja'd like 3 times. Yea when i saw the vid it was going on about how it's the loudest in town and it's louder than you... lmao

It's the Alpines... They're known to explode peoples ego's.....

I don't think you're gonna get a flame war started here... people are pretty respectful of each other here... I think you might wanna try youtube or 4chan for that... (if you go to youtube you can find a war going on at every political, gay/straight, etc videos or even any video that has the key words "black" and "white" in it's tags together)

have you opened it yet? Edit: i pm'd you.
