Well I know in drag racing the more hp ya add usually the more weight ya add. So ya have to find out how to lower the weight to help with the added hp. Aluminium engine parts a lot of the guys cars I work on at the drag track use. Say it helps a lil with weight and keep added horse power. Well should say friends cars.

I would do it. Then give me a parachute and I would jump off. Done sky diving. So this would be nothing.

Yea what I was thinking. I have an pully like that. Mechman guy I talked to told me about it. But, he called it something else I believe. Now, putting in a bigger alt I can see. But, they said with all stock electrical. Weight is the only cause to me on stock. And not really loosing horsepower as it is more/to much weight ya car has to try to move. Like I said I have a 122cid 4cyl sohc and Since day 1 I have had my system in it. SO, now I am curious what it will do if I took everything out. No no, what you have is an OVER-drive pulley. Its smaller than the stock one (so it spins faster) so that when your engine is at idle the alt may be spinning at 1500rpm still. An UNDER-drive pulley is BIGGER than the stock one so it barely spins and hardly sucks any juice from the engine turning. The alternators take the turning of the engine and turn that motion into electricity so naturally the more alternators you have the more power (horsepower) they take to turn. Remember, NOTHING is free on a car. You add something to the belt system, it's gonna take power to turn it. EDIT: to the reply above, is that standing weight or rotating weight? Rotating weight is what you want to get rid of first. Idle rpms are 1000. But, it is bigger then the stock one. Im good when it comes to working on stock. But when it comes to all these add ons, I am still learning these things. I am not afraid to admit I am still a noob on a lot of the big system builds. I got a lot of help from here. Great group of people here. And mechman 220 amp focus svt alt with the bigger pully under it. Sorry I dont know to much about that. Im trained in a lot of areas on vehicles. Just now learning what needs to be done for the big systems.

The rattle is going to happen if it is ripped like that. Like I said I have not done repairs or know to much. But, isnt there a way to recone it? Not sure what comes with the reconing. But,, just throwing an idea out there.

It is the box. I sell those subs. And the 3 different models of boxes I carry do nothing for those subs. They are not hard hitting. But, do have a nice sound ya hear on the inside. And be careful. They don't like to be pushed close to there max watt ratings. But, my shop usually builds a box for those subs. Sounds a lot better then. The box the subs come in should of came with paper work of recommended box size and dimensions and all.

Think the only repair is a replacement of the whole thing. I don't know much about repairing of subs. But, from how it sounds it is not repairable.

I can see that with the heavier equipment. But, the way they was saying it, it is with all systems. Any time ya put an amp in a vehicle it is a noticeable change. I have had my system since day one of me buying my focus. So, I do not know the gas mileage with out the system. SO I could be getting better gas milleage if I take out the system. But, I mean thats something that should not get out there. Cause that will cause noobs to come in and cause drama over it. I can only imagine that.

Think the picture was clear on this one. My shop has 3. A renagade 1 farad, rockford fosgate 1.5 and 10 farad. Have not sold one. Sell more dry cell batteries then anything. Another battery will do more good then that cap will ever do ya. Also if ya run another battery make sure that your alt is in good shape. Can not tell ya how many cars come to my shop for a big sub install and there alt is on its last leg. Save money and do it before it goes.

Ok. so I had a work meeting with JL Audio. Now they are saying any system in a car lowers horse power and lowers gas mileage. Now horse power idk mine stayed the same. Gas mileage also stayed the same. And I am running a Rockford Fosgate t2500bd. At 2 ohms its rated at 2,850 watts continuous. And before that I had around 3000 rms. And I never seen a difference in gas mileage. I have a 03 focus with the 4 cyl sohc 122cid engine. I get on a full tank average of 335.25 miles on a full tank. So, what's everyone's opinion on this? JL audio blowing smoke or is it for those who have high power equipment or bad electrical/crappy engines?

Is this the sub that you are getting? If so, it is a good filler sub (I like to call em. Not to loud but sounds good on the in-side.) I carry these at my shop and if ya set it up right they sound good. Do not try to over power or push close to there max. We found that running 600-700 watts is there sweet spot.

Upload the pic to photobucket.com or something similar. Wont load how ya got it up there. And if ya give what ya wanting to spend and there are a lot of people here that can tell ya what and where to get the products. Pioneer is good. But like iceman said. There are other brands out there either same price or a little more that will give ya a better sound and better quality.

I never had a camera that caught it. My dlsr did. But, was not going to be holding that while bumping. What kind of drift helmet ya got? I hear people talking about those pro-hd cameras that are meant for mounting outside or inside cars to record.

Yea. Im the one that always turns it down at red lights. I recorded and then came to that red light and wasn't thinking. I was going to wait till I got to work to do it. But, by time I got to work it has been none stop busy most the day. I posted it and was shocked I did not get lit up about it more. I was preparing myself for some strong words.

I just seen this on a post my meade. This was crazy. SHocked that his hatch is still in one piece.

haha at first look I though it was a thumbs down. lol.

The wire just tells the amp to turn on. I use a basic copper wire that came with my wiring kit. To my knowledge it don't matter/ But I could be wrong.

I still wonder how your hatch is still one piece. What kind of customizing have you done to your hatch to make it handle all that power ya have?

Finally played around with the full hd option on my samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch. It caught some pretty good flex. Share what ya got!!

I have a friend that has a moped with a mechman 110amp alt. They made it custom for him. His is a 2010 and thats all I remember. Mechman told him that, that is the highest and that is pushing it.
