This. The purpose of the fuses is so if the pos wire shorts or grounds out somewhere the fuse blows and cuts off the power from the supply. If you fuse the ground and your pos grounds out somewhere it's going to be grounded there and continue pulling power from the source and probably start a fire.

It's about 3 1/2 hours

I would but it's a little over a 2 hour drive for me so it would depend how I felt that day. I use to drive 600+ miles a week in a big city for work so I hate driving very far anymore.

If you haven't picked one up yet check out Jard. I've used and liked Timney, Rock River, and some custom ones but I love my Jard.

I was trying to keep my original post somewhat shorter which is why I didn't go into details. Had the op asked for details or a post like yours come along then I'm more than happy to explain more. I do want to add though that the Ranger SXT's only come in the T-series which is why I didn't mention T-series in my previous posts. As for using them interchangeably, you pretty much can. The coatings are where the differences are those are merely cosmetic. Original BT's use a brass case with a black coating, Ranger SXT's use a brass case with a nickle coating. Take the black coating off the slug of an original BT and you will have the slug of a Ranger SXT.

I disagree with the first part of this. Police departments have more to take into consideration when choosing their ammo than most think. They are more likely to have to use their firearms and use them in a more difficult situation than your every day Joe. With that in mind, just because it's good enough for them and fits their budget doesn't mean it's good enough for everyone else. In my area the cops use Speer Gold-dots. Not a bad round but not good enough for me. In all my 9mm's I carry Winchester Ranger SXT's (aka Black Talon's) either in 127gr +P+ or 147gr depending on which gun it's in. In my .45's I prefer Hornady XTP TAP FPD. I chose those particular rounds after doing my own tests with them along with researching them on the web. SIGH.. This is probably some of the most shallow minded stuff I've read in this section. ok where to even begin... first off, what born again said, is correct. Using what the LEO's use is a great option. There is alot of testing that goes into ammunition that an agency chooses. In the first part of your reply you even state they "are more likely to have to use their firearms and use them in a more difficult situation than your every day Joe". So if its a more difficult situation how is that not good enough for a civillian? over penetration is just as bad for an officer as a civillian so that arguement holds no water lol Second, The GD round is one of the most widely used in the nation in law enforcement applications. The bonded bullet makes it far superior in holding together and retaining its weight when fired through hard objects and clothing than any normal jacketed HP (if you think you're going to get a straight on unobstructed shot to a mans torso in the majority of situations, you've got another thing coming.) Third, What makes the bullet not "good enough" for you? I can tell you with first hand experience on numerous occasions how well this round works on humans. fourth, you can't argue the fact that cost matters when departments factor in cost when picking rounds as all premium defense rounds are identical in pricing all things considered give or take a few pennies. which is worth more to the agency than opening themselves up to liability for using subpar ammunition. Lastly, SXT's are NOT in anyway shape or form the same as the real black talons, which are not manufactured and have not been for a while. what is your reasoning for using a +p+ round when a standard pressure 147gr or just +p 124 will suffice, you're only gaining 50-100fps out of a short barrel and causing much more wear and tear on your firearm, and slower follow-up. I'm not saying to go buy speer GD and nothing else ever, im just saying don't be so close minded when it comes to these things. Also, if you dont mind me asking, what does your "testing" consist of, any proof that the GD didn't pass your tests? ok im done, that was probably longer than it was worth but oh well..didn't want the OP to miss out on more options I guess I’ll just respond to this by going right down the line. I never said using what LEO’s use is a bad option. I agree with you that it is a good option especially if you ever have to use it and end up in court. Where I don’t agree is with Born_Again saying that “if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for YOU and me.” That’s his opinion however I disagree with it. There is not a single ammo out there that will function flawlessly in EVERY gun nor be perfect for every situation. What I was referring to with the situations cops is there is in a sense more liability factors they have to look at because if something goes wrong it’s not just on one individual, it’s on the entire department at the least. Asking what makes a bullet not good enough for me would be like me asking why isn’t a Boss Audio or some other no name swap meet sub not good enough for you. Everyone has their preferences. If you’re dealing with a small department sure that few extra pennies might not matter but when you’re talking a large metro department that goes through a lot more ammo in training, practicing, etc it does make a difference and does get factored in. As for the SXT’s “NOT in anyway shape or form the same as the real black talons” where do you get your info? I have real Black Talon’s also and have shot them side by side with the Rangers and they are essentially the same thing (SXT actually stands for Same eXact Thing). Rangers have a nickel plated brass case where as BT’s had a brass or black casing depending on when they were manufactured and Rangers don’t have the “Lubalox” lubricant painted on them giving them the black color which Winchester reports was a bad idea anyway as it inhibited the performance of the BT’s As for my choice of pressure and weight it has to do with what my guns function best with. I run the 127gr +p+ in my Glock 26 because the extra fps helps out of the shorter barrel. I’m not concerned about wear because I’m not running a stock barrel in that gun anyway so it’s not an issue and my follow up speed is more than adequate. I really don’t get how you can say I’m the one being close minded because I disagreed with a close minded statement saying because it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for everyone. My testing consisted of firing different rounds from different guns using ballistic jelly as well as just normal target shooting testing reliability in MY firearms. I tracked my results and compared them to other results I found on the internet (mainly using ones with video and/or picture evidence) and made my decision from that. This is something I did over a 2 year period so it’s not like I just went out one day, did some shooting, compared what I came up with with some guy on the internet and made a decision. I take protecting my family, friends, and my own life very seriously so I feel it’s worth putting the time and effort into figuring out what works best for ME and at the same time enjoy doing it.

Probably not what you want but I have a Jensen EQX700P, 7 band plus sub level I would trade. It's open but never been used so it's essentially new. If you're interested let me know and I'll throw some pics up.

I've owned a couple Jensens as well as rebadged ones (I use to trade stuff all the time so i got to try lots of different stuff) and I didn't care for them. I couldn't get my stuff to sound right with any of them no matter what one of my vehicles they were in.

Bye!!!

Done

No one is saying they are trash. They are just letting you know there is better options for that price or cheaper.

1) no. since the amp says 550w at 4 ohms 2) subs dont output watts 3) your subwoofer will never see 550w if you end up wiring it at 4 ohms. no amplifiers in any system ever, are outputting X watts (listed on paper) to the subwoofers attached to them. its something called impedance rise. so that 1 ohm can automatically shoot up to 2, or 3, or 5 ohms, while playing music. but that doesn't give you an excuse to wire a 1 ohm amp at .5 ohms. or a 2 ohm amp at 1 ohm. i dont understand why you dont just wire to 2 ohms. its better to overpower than underpower in my opinion. RIF. The amp does 1000 @ 2 ohms hence the reason we are telling him to get a DUAL 4 OHM so he can wire it to 2 ohms and get 1000 from the amp. With rise and all other factors he should get around the 750 he wants to feed the sub. OP, you said you're set on that equipment so get it so you don't regret it later and get pissed at those persuading you into something else. Only change you need to make is the sub. Don't get the dual 2 ohm you linked to, get it in a dual 4 ohm config. ETA: I just realized who I quoted and responded to.... Hangs head... Disappointed...

Just switch the sub to a dual 4 like already suggested and that will be fine.

Not trying to change your mind but I'm curious as to why you're set on that particular sub?

Says it on the Youtube video. It's a Honda VFR800. Woops. I missed the very beginning because my daughter was crawling on my lap trying to attack my iPad

305, 350, 327, 400 to name a few. They aren't to hard to put in either. I don't know details but I've heard it isn't much harder than swapping what you have in there especially if you go with a carbed motor.

Nevermind. Not sure where the link took me before but it wasn't the same sub.

Put a small block in it!

Nice video. What kind of bike?

I don't remember off hand what the pattern is on those wheels but I can tell you it is different than an s10.

Lots of potential there. Any plans in mind yet?

Here's my old dime. Never got to finish it before it was totalled though.

Thanks. If you have any specific questions about anything with the truck hit me up. I had a 2000 dime so I have some experience with them.
