220a x 14.6v = 3,212 watts 3212 watts / 745.7 watts per hp ~ 4.3 hp Tack on the efficiency. Puts you somewhere close to 5hp

Steve... Wanna keep this short and simple. I appreciate this community, and what you have done to create it, what you constantly do to contribute to it. You've personally sent me some money from a SOTM comp, which I was very thankful for.. And always will be. That shit doesn't grow on trees nor does it come easy. What I have noticed is that the a ton of your energy goes to commenting on the posts that haters create. A hater tells you "my system is louder with my cheap gear and way less power" ... You might rebuttle to that over recognizing the fan that says, "badass system!!" You get much so much more praise than you do hate, but you like to tell the haters what's up over thanking the fans that appreciate what you do. Give more attention to the fans Steve! Don't give the haters attention! You have been doing something right all this time to inspire as many people as you have. Keep doing what you're doing!

Believe it or not, I actually drag race my Escy. NHRA does not allow batteries of any type inside the vehicle unless they are in a sealed, vented box, or behind a sealed firewall. Also, I tow my REAL race car with the truck, so between the sub box and the tongue weight of the trailer, I'm trying to keep from putting more weight in the rear. Pic racing with the old 22" wheels on it.... Hide the batteries in the sub box.... It's a sealed battery.

That was half the reason for getting out of the trunk. More room.

How close do you intend to get to the b pillar?

39.9s or bust. Lookin good Mario. Bill loves playing with wood, this shits less wood working than he's used it. Haha...

Looks like a great double din replacement. What are the running?

The RCA output voltage will not drop with B+ voltage dropping. The RCA outputs are fed from a mini-amplifier inside the headunit that has feedback. Think of it as regulated Thank you Tony. I appreciate the feedback. To expand on it, if possible, what makes the AC voltage output from the 'mini amplifier' in the head unit different from that of the AC voltage output of the amplifier in the back?

CJ, you've Peaked my interest here. Is It unreasonable to think there's head unit voltage drop? AC voltage output X amplifier internal gain. Scenario 1: .35VAC x 10 Scenario 2: 10VAC x .35 Assuming amplifier internal gain is a constant, voltage drop at the headunit is going to change which scenario more?

Plugging your Rcas in while your deck is on = hot swapping. You don't have to disconnect your battery to change your Rcas, just make sure your deck isn't powered on.

Dont think it would work well firing into driver and passenger side. Don't know how you would load the subs without damaging them either.

Even if you could, the integrity of the baffle would be compromised. You could probably make 3 10s and a slot port work pretty well with 36" of area to work with. 2 12s would be idea for that kind of box. Only way I could see you getting away with 4 10s and a box that wide is to go 4th order, but the box is going to need to be a minimum Of 23" deep.

The harbor freight meter isn't a quality meter. I can't explain why the subs aren't as loud as they were before, but I can tell you the meter isn't great. I worked at HF for 4 years. There's not a meter in that store that reads resistances like a quality meter does. If I was in your situation I'd start at the signal. Make sure all your Rcas are securely connected and have output. Double check all your grounds, wire, fusing, etc. Take a voltage reading at the front battery and at the terminals of the amp. Make sure the voltage is within .1 from front to back.

Why are you only seeking retail jobs? Retail in huge corporations at that. Retail did me Dirty for a Long time.

Bump this mothafucka to the top!
