Clipping starts at 810 watts. 900 rms at 2 ohms amps do. But clips at that high. 750 watts I am running now. Hoping when I get my second 220 amp alt it stops. if not I will take your advice and get another amp. What do ya recommend? I was thinking on the soundstream subs. Hoping that I do not change my mind again. lol...

I use to work at best buy. Those amps was 299.99 and after discount I paid 110 for each. My kicker 1000.1 amps seemed to do the same. I have a second mechman 220amp alt coming in. Going to try that.

No. But, when I told people that I have a cap they said they are useless. Unless you have stock battery and alt and running 1,500 watts and under.. Do not know if this is true or not. But, since it is snowing and raining by me.Think I have to wait till I get time to goto a friends or something to get it in a garage and not out in the cold and snow.... Plus I have to take subs out of box and unscrew the box and do a lot of work....

I think OP is having the opposite experience. His subs are quieter/not as low Yea noticed that after I posted. My fault. Sorry on that. Could that also be that maybe the box has changed due to the bass? Like not the right size for those subs?? Or the box may have a leak or something? I have heard of that happening... Not sure how true that is though....

My kicker dcvr 12" after about a week sounded louder to me. Not yet put to a spl testing. Think most subs do this....

I checked all my grounds.

I dont remember. I used the dd-1 meter. So, i dont remember the setting. I looked at steve meades youtube vid on his dd1 before I used it. Very nice difference since till this problem

No. I posted about a box that turned into people running there mouths. But, like I said not here to start crap. Here for help on my first build. So, ill have to take a pic when the snow is gone. My alts are on the passenger side of my car towards the bottom of the engine. I thought that it was a voltage drop. Now what should I check for that? I checked all my grounds and the connections on amps and alt and batteries and all. I had someone inbox me saying it could be not enough amps from the alt. That one mechman high out put alt with a stock alt is not a good combo. So, in the morn I am going to order a second one. But, till then is there something else I should check?

Ok so i have 2 kicker 12" dcvr and then 2 8in dc audio level 2 subs. 2 kenwood performance series 1800 watt amps and then a dc audio 2.0k amp. XS Power 2700 in rear. XS Power D3100 (replaced the cars stock battery.)Mechman 220amp alt and I kept the 110amp stock alt which is also new. I have 3 fuse blocks and a 10 farad capacitor.. Now my radio goes to 50. I know that I get distortion at 45. So I never go above 40. And my batteries are getting charge. But, even when I start the car and let it warm up before I turn the system on and then get into it. It will hit hard then drop and not hit as hard. And it only does it when I am at 28 or higher. 27 and lower I dont have that problem.... What should I look at for the problem??? Could it be that I have a mechman 220 amp alt with the stock motorcraft 110amp alt? Or a sign of a bad amp? The dc audio I just got from a guy at work today and set up today. But, I fully disconnected those 2 subs and amps and made it for it is just the kickers. And still does it. And then with the dc only still does it... Any suggestions???

Is flexstone the stuff that looks like a rock and gray? I have seen it but been a while. Trying to remember. If so really either one would work if ya want to match the inside.

Wrap or painting should be user design. What you think would look better in your ride. I know for me I am using the gray carpet. That way it matches what is currently in my trunk stock. Do you have any wraps or paint you have been looking at? maybe a look at what you like could help the decision too. And nice system

I use kickers rca's that came with there 0 gauge wiring kit. They to me are strong and so far great connection.

I seen this when it was posted to youtube. The uploader is on mine. Thought it was funny. No name company. What are you expecting?? Top of the line?? Dont think so...

haha that would be nice.....

Alpha. For the price and the amazing results of their products. I did not look anywhere else....

Told for most trunk cars. To just do the flat parts of the trunk. Not to worry about the roof inside unless subs are firing into the car. Then doors if they are not stock..... Amazing stuff. Can not wait to get mine....

I was told alpha damp is best. What I am getting..... Installed some in a friends colbalt ss. And it makes a huge difference...

yea my 03 focus has pretty much no room and my alt in at the bottom. So, that is going to be a challenge. But, for my little system now my mechman 220amp alt seems to be doing its job.

A question I was going to ask when the time comes. But, see it here so maybe I can get my answered. Can it be another alt wiring harness spliced into the other one? Or is that a bad idea? that i'm unsure about, actually let me link you guys to one of dc power's install guides for their dual alt kit for a silverado, it wont be exact but it can show you a few common things dual alternator installation Thanks. I know I am not doing it for a few months. But the knowledge early is nice. Help plan out. And sorry to ask a question on your topic lagexe...

I had problems with people that work at part stores and have no clue about cars. Just rely on the computers. Napa has seemed to be the only one that is knowledgeable and so far I have had no complaints there.

I fiber glassed a piece to fit under the back window. No speakers there just a piece of carpet. I took tin and molded it to the carpet piece that was there and that worked. I cannot remember the wax stuff I was told to use to help get the tin off when dried.

exactly lmao, dude didnt even say a word after the demo sooo idk... he told me before i gave him the demo that he was doing a build in a surburban behind the third row seat,1 kicker warhorse, 4 orion hcca 15's... but behind 3rd row seat?!?! 4 15's behind 3rd row??? I dont think that it would fit. Or be one tight fit. To me that guy had to expression during the demo. And when he looked at the subs. It was kinda like he was like thats it or something. Nice build ya have.
