  1. Thanks, in the most recent pic should the top or bottom cap be grounded I'm new to all this, Voltage drop refers to the alt not being able to supply additional/enough amps rights? I know you comment was aimed at c-fizzy, I'm just trying to understand it myself. Thanks.
  2. Isn't that what batteries do in a multi-battery setup anyway? Again I'm not being condescending, I'm looking for answers with depth, sorry If I'm annoying you with defensive questions.
  3. Is this correct? or do I need to ground both caps? EDIT: Forgot pic:
  4. I must for now, my alt is only 120amp (80 stock, I'm using one for a jeep 2 or 3 years newer than my jeep, because it's the only bigger one that will fit) and my lights dimmed pretty bad with my old sony 1200w-D. I'll draw another pic if you can tell me If I've understood you correctly.
  5. I'm new to this, do you mind explaining a little more. You've told me what not to do (kinda), you forgot to tell me what to do. No sarcasm intended. EDIT: I appreciate you helping.
  6. I know, I know, most in this forum don't like caps. At least from what I've read that is the Majority Opinion. However, at the moment I can't afford a new alternator I already went $200 of my budget when building the new system. Also, I have heard that caps burn out an alt faster. This is not a problem since I have a life time warranty (on my third in 5 years time). Is the pic below how I should wire the caps? When I get taxes I will be getting a new alt, and maybe another battery if needed. Baby steps...
  7. What would that before displacements? Above 3cf? If not, why would It be good to go below recommended cubes?
  8. Oh... that makes sense... However, I'm just gonna take ya'lls word that is 3-4cf. I'm not sure how to take all the wood side and the thickness into consideration.
  9. Also, I guess I'm not figuring the volume right I still get around 6cf Am I suppose to just figure the volume for the chamber or the whole sub. Or perhaps I'm just doing it wrong period(.)? 2' 5" = 29" 2' 6" = 30" 1' 1" = 13" 29" * 30" * 13" = 11310" ----- BACK TO CUBES OF FEET ----- 12"x12"x12" = 1728" 11310/1728 = 6' 5" (to the 3rd) It's been years since I've had to do area or volume, so I could very well be wrong. If so, what is the formula again?
  10. 3' left-right 2' from top of back seat to back door. (that leaves about 2" for the ports to get air). Height is not a concern, as one that did hit the roof would be bigger than 6cubes. Also, I will not be at all upset if it obstructs my view. I was thinking about a back up cam anyway. ONX
  11. x2.. what amp you using at what ohm load? Bout to send you a PM, but I'm MB-1.1500D 2ohm. (1ohm per VC)
  12. I have an MB1.1500D Do you know of a box similar with a better Cube count? This is my first box, and I would really, REALLY like for it to look like this. I know I'm asking a good bit, sorry.
  13. This is my first box and I found one I really like. However, I don't know if my sub will feel the same way. What do you guys think? too much, or is it okay to use? Showed pic
  14. I'm new so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this should be right. http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2SVC_8-ohm_2ch.jpg
