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!

Why can't you put the other 2 bats in the rear?
Might be better in the rear having the batts closer to the amps
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?

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?
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?

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.

Not a bassrace song and I haven't put it on audacity, but Mac miller smile back might work well for you. If you want to demo some range drake uptown might work for you as well. Waka Flocka o let's do it... My car peaks right around that range, 3 loud songs in my car. Try em out and let me know how they work for you. None of them are bassrace tracks.
Edit: dubstep ...

I've seen it done. It's more expensive than barrier blocks and jumpers, but theres not a problem with it.

I got a viper 5701 about a year and a half ago and the alarm itself is alright... But the pager sucks. Both of the pagers I have are broken. So I'm looking into replacing the remote or upgrading to the 5901.
While looking on ebay I found some pagers that look like they are a little higher quality than the originals... Anyone have any experience or advice about them?
Anybody else having problems with the viper remotes on other models?

Jasper is worth every penny of the $40.
But nice work.

Got a DD9500 motor. I believe it's a d series... Lookin for $150 + shipping.

I don't know if I missed a part of a build video or something, but wasn't there only one nitrous tank in the begining or was there two?
was one but my car kept feeling lop-sided, like it was pulling to the left. So i got another to match. I don't even use it too much but its nice to have it symmetrical in the trunk.
Did you get the car aligned while sitting in it?

Vibrations don't change any pressure constants. Only thing that changes pressure is temperature and volume.Forward and sealed off, I love these trunk builds.
Just a thought, the vibrations won't cause those nitrous bottles to build up pressure and....
will they?I doubt it would happen but I'd be scared as shit to drive around thinking of it lol.

I really like where this is headed.
Would be cool to see that 15 firing through the rear deck at the window too.... If its even an option.
it wouldn't sound as good IMO. Forward, ported, isolated from the trunk FTW. I really wanted that BP to work though.
I'm not talking about the 15 bein in in the trunk firing through the rear deck. I'm talking about the baffle of the box replacing the rear deck (or the hundreds of other ways you could go about it)... But essentially everything firing up, completely isolated from the trunk. Fiberglassed, vinyl or color matched to look whatever suits your taste - custom or factory.

Fuel filter
Plug Wires
Air Filter
Start with those 3. Did you gap the new plugs too?
Possibly a coil pack.
Due to the fact that you drive it daily, I'm less inclined to think its a clogged injector than something else. If it was a vaccum leak, you'd more than likely notice abnormal engine temperatures... In an extreme condition.... Intake.
will they?
How to calc hp draw from you alt

Posted
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
