  3. All this hype about caps got me thinking. WHat would happen if you have a big bank of caps in the trunk and get rear ended. If you have like 72 caps, thats a lot positives and negatives that could short. Just my thinking.

      A large cap bank would probly have massive buss bars separating the caps and bracing them. Might not be worse then batteries in a plastic case.

      Caps release their current very quickly and it's gone.

      Batteries have capacity and can maintain a short for a long time, increasing the chance of a fire.

      Interesting topic to think about though...

  4. screw this rf 360.3 bullshit...decided to day to just end end its own life...I have 13.1volts at source but wont turn on...so fed up with its tempermental b/s!

      Same here...

      Funny how many negative reviews I've seen lately on this processor...

  5. In route to me another PPi a200.2

  6. 149.3 today in the trunk 2 class legal sealed on the dash in my honda civic. .7db left and I can finally drop this 150db out of the trunk goal.

  7. i made it to work today without a battery in my car and listened to music for the first time in 5 months. havent had this big of a smile in a while!

      LOL. Have you created a separate thread about this yet?

      I REALLLY want to see some newbs come in and blast you saying "Caps don't work, Bro!"...

      Only 8 banks........

      Pffft.

      I heard KiloFarads is where its at.

  9. Dumb Question of the day: Does RCA voltage split when using Y splitters? Let's say you have an RCA ran to the back from 4v pre out and two Y splitters at the end.

      Wicks

      ^^True. I'm being totally theoretical but manufacturers dont spec stuff like this so who knows? I'm just stating conservative info.

      Voltage does not split (devices are in parallel), the current does.

      With only a few splits and a high enough input impedance on the amplifiers, there will be no issue. With enough y-split devices, the source unit will be stressed for current and then the voltage may droop.

  11. Does anyone know if i'll loose signal by taking a pair of rca's and splitting it multiple times? I'm sure this has been discussed I just can't find anything. I want to make a distribution block for 2 channels in and about 12 channels out. Thoughts?

    1. Wicks

      Wicks

      Probably just a bunch of high input impedance opamps. The idea and circuitry isn't really difficult but building your own or finding the exact one for your needs will be difficult.

      Volts don't split, everythings in parallel. But all those input impedances to the amps will combine and start to draw lots of current from your source. That could stress the source which could cause the signal voltage to droop. Similar to loading an amplifier down too much. For that many interconnections, Id recommend some sort of distribution amplifier for the RCA signals.

  13. Truck blow through enclosure is calculated. Just need to do a design and cut sheet and get to work. 4 xl12's here we come! Oh and lookie here, a Singer Invoice for a 6 phase 350Amp alt. SHAT JUST GOT REAL!!!!!!! WHo's in!!??!!

      Whoa....... This should get interesting. A blow-though.....now that would make me nervous cutting into the cab. :o

  16. Double din, 4volt pre, nav, freq EQ set abiility.....go!

  17. 146.4 sealed out of the trunk at 33hz. Good enough for 2nd place trunk class. Now to just get into the 147-148 range, I've been looking at the results and most 148db trunks take home a place at every show.

      Nice job and LOW! HA, I too got 2nd place yesterday at a show with a 145.1

  18. So I'm seriously considering trying to take a page out of wicks book and body fill the crap out of my foam seal off and cover it in flock.

  19. so is the kreg jig the way to go or what?

    1. Wicks

      Wicks

      I found the thin Kreg pocket screws would strip out the holes in the MDF very easily. Get the generic pocket screws with deeper/wider threads.

      Wow, Thanks guys!

      Didn't expect that many positive comments.

      Really appreciate it.

  23. Those I've been pm'in back and forth. I just erased 73 PM's. If it was serious, or buiz, re do it. Couldt stand it anymore.
