  1. this is the wiring diagram for the ford alt, you can call mechman and they can hook you up with an alt that only needs one wire to make it charge, the diagram is if you want to get an original alternator
  2. Ok, but do you absolutely need to use the other outputs on the alt if it's a secondary alt? Also, I'm not trying to replace the original alt in my truck, it's only a few days old. yes you need to use all wires for it to charge not unless you get a 1 wire alternator not true trust me, my truck had a si10 alt in it and i upgraded it to the cs130 and pluged up the charging wire and when i turned on my truck it was 12.3 volts even if i was at 2k rpm. i got the red wire from my pigtail and wired it to distribution block constant power and still at 12.3 volts, then i was reading about the alternator voltage regulator needing to get excited before being able to charge so i read on it some more and it said to get a 500ohm resister and put it on the white wire and run it to the ignition and bam i was charging at 14.4. you can also use an idiot light and that will help charge too, mine is GM though so for might be different but could be easy if you read about it. edit:as long as the excite wire and volt sense wire is connected you are good some fords have external regulators so you might just be lucky and plugging in the charging wire is good enough

  4. Ok, cool. I had to ask because alts have a + output straight to the battery, but they also have those extra wires that plug in, I was wondering if it affected the alt's charging potential if those other wires were not being used.. i added a 3 wire alt to my truck just a few weeks ago, i did one straight to battery then got a resistor from radio shack and ran that wire to the ignition and the other one to a power distribution block and it is charging 14.4 now. you can google it and find wiring diagrams for alts and you can also put GM alt on a ford
  5. yes you can install any alt to it with some brackets made for it
  6. just got my DD-1 a few days ago and waiting for this one, few more weeks to go or could be days now
  7. i ship stuff to Canada and if you get the one for $350 it will be on the range you want to pay, i think it wont be over $150 to ship there
  8. ive seen some on ebay for the last few weeks at $350 to $450 and $40 shipping
  9. you wont get an 18 btl or AA mayhem for $500 shipped, try looking into SSA Xcon or Zcone its rated at 2250 rms but can handle more, or look to see who has a used 18 for sale
  10. this is how he did mine Hey there Miguel. Thank you for choosing RAM Designs for your enclosure design needs. Here is the detailed information for your 4x 15L7 bandpass box. The box is going to be 3ft^3 per sealed chamber and a 12.5ft^3 common ported chamber tuned to 46hz.
  11. What sub was it? 4 kicker 15L7
  12. some chargers stop charging then senses volt drop and turn back on, i know mine does that
  13. just got a box design by ram design and he tuned it at 46 hz, maybe it has to do with the range and trying to get the low lows from subs
  14. that car looks sweet though, and that guy can work that buffer good
  15. just got my DD1 yesterday and now i want this
  16. i ordered some too and if i have to wait lobger than 14 days sits cool as long as they let me know about it, that would take my mind off of them
  17. posting the tracking number and posting pics or a video of the camera being packed and ship will assure where its at or going to
  18. i stay here in Cali, and would record my and brothers stuff bumping just wont know who to send it too right after i get done
  19. wouldnt it be easier for us to send you a video by email and we sign a contract or release form to the rights of the video or something like that, saves you the camera and a few lawsuits, some people do dirty things like that
  20. thanks peeps
  21. is it cheaper than mdf? what really matters is if its stronger since i have had box flex with mdf
  22. what type of wood can i use to build boxes besides MDF?
  23. why not do a bandpass box through the deck? should be cheaper than buying a car and you dont know but one day you will have more than one passenger specially when you have beat and want to show it off
