you also dont get trunk rattle if you seal that box good, people like to showoff rattle but that really takes from your sounds

you can make a blow through for your car

who would buy a 3k amp and only run it at 1k, its a waste of money to me, get a smaller amp or bigger subs, my pick bigger subs

i did 0 gauge and did the same thing so now i have 2 batteries back and will be upgrading my alt as soon as i get it, even if you charge the battery you will keep having the problem, just get a bigger alt and problem solved edit: the batteries at back are kinetik hc2400 2 of them so we know its not the XS battery that is causing your problem

just clamp it and put a load on the alt (turn everything on and play at full tilt)and you will see the amp go up, and no the fuse cant hurt the alt. its the other way around if you dont have it and you have a short somewhere it could mess up the alt.

To test the alternator output use a current clamp meter around the alternator + lead. Turn on whatever your load is and read the output in amps.

do you have an amparage meter? try using one and see what is the output on the alt. i dont even get that bad of a voltage from my stock alt running a brz2400, i do have 2 kinetik hc2400 though edit:i would get 10.8 volts on my other truck with a stock 40a alt and would drop to 9v with everything on and making everything shut off.

the l7 where not built around SQ. i know how they sound, i own 4 of them, fosgate sounds cleaner by far. i still like my l7's though

they have more cone area and can get loud but it dont sound clean, but for the price i would get them

the HFi series are no good, get a brutus bzr 1700 or the 2400

okay my epicenter is not distorting and re did everything and got it dialed, now i think one of my subs is going out, was hearing scratching sounds even before the amp clipped.(yes tested with subs plugged in) i did notice the other sub making bad scraching sounds once the amp distorted so i went a bit less because of the bad sub till the sound coming out was clean. thanks guys and i think i will be getting rid of my EQ now since it sounds better without it and can only make my stuff distort if i adjust up DD-1 FTW

i dont use the bass knob on my amps, and lowered everything on my amp. do you think the epicenter can be the problem? the epicenter knob was all the way down but the little gain buttons are up edit: i was also running that amp daily with bad cliping for months and was getting bad smell from subs thats why i'm upgrading my audio and just waiting on subs to get built Use the DD-1 on the Head unit Only. Set you HU where you get the "most" out of it. Then use the DD-1 after the Epicenter. Set the epicenter where you get the most out of it before clipping / distortion. Then set your amp. Done. If it is for crap after the Epicenter, then there is your issue. You very well could be over powering the RCA input on your amp from your Epicenter. i will plug the rca coming from epicenter to the DD-1 and try it i'm a freaking noob, i just noticed i forgot to lower the EQ on the bass side, i did the HU and the highside on eq but left the bass one up, that could be the problem too

now i dont hear my subs till i get to 20 on my volume

today was the day i decided to tune my head unit and my amps and after many atemps i am not pleased with my bass amp. my head unit distorts at 34 of 35 on track 1 and 33 of 35 on track 2,I then changeged to track 7 and started to tune my amp i notice it distorts at less then half the gain. i then lowered all my amp eq an was able to go a bit higher. does everyone have this problem or do i have a bad amp? its a brutus BZR2400 and now my highs sound louder and over powering my subs with a MTX 600 watt amp lol

check to see if you have clean grounds, what was working months ago might not work now since rust can build up, also check if the alternator is grounded correctly. it might get just a bit to show you are charging but not enough to charge correctly

pm me a quote on this doulble idler pulley

thought i seen a thread just like this one last night. edit: guess i did http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/126779-sub-barely-moves/

why not get a DD-1, its like $169

buying boxes online cost way more to have it shipped lol share some pics when you get to building

there is a difference, i had bought one from Fosgate with (2) HX subs and sounded great to me

i have one and i dont like it at all, sounds good for the $45 i spent but can sound louder way louder. also it broke apart my other prefab box and was leaking air from everywhere edit: i think its 2.5 per chamber with like 2 inch wide port

What is it in the background, what you get? Looks like 2 toaster´s I have 4 toasters in total a regular 1 a Florida marlins one, Miami dolphins one and a Miami heat one Miami Dolphins FTW!!

what amazes me about this video is making an event like this with no fire extinguisher or a fire truck to put out fires, if you go to races here you have emt and fire trucks just in case there is a fire or a crash, in this video it takes over a minute for someone to get a 12 oz extinguisher lol

i say the same about your display pic
