      Im filing any and all complaints as we type. I shall also be going to talk to my local post master tomorrow about an investigation and demand to have my item (grants cc1) back instead of refunding me a partial dollar amount to the actual value.

    3. Bump4life

      always insure for value of item.

      Insurance is to cover shipping damages.... Not employee theft. As far as I'm concerned they should pay for all of it

  3. So lets say i wanna clean all the stickers and marks/grime off the case of my xs power battery. Whats the best way to go about that?

      Well I already got one and the cosmetics on it are not exactly nice so I was going to just clean it and make it look like a newer d3100.

  4. 147.6 at 34hz!!! Too bad it was 12.3v. Damn idle output. Time for a better alternator.

      My pully is already too small. It's causing belt slip at idle.. I need an alternator that can make more power. With out belt slip it does 117amps at idle at 172amps revving.

      For instance. The dc270xp does 190amps at idle and it has a stock size pully that will slip much less but the unit itself makes more power with out requiring it to have a crazy small pully.

      hairpin. that is all

      Kyblack76

      Werd. I ment for that EVENT. But yep, the smaller you go, the less area the less it will stay in contact. Your right. Just time for a new alt. if I was was you I'd do a hair pin/6phase. It's exactly what you need.

  5. 146.4 sealed out of the trunk at 33hz. Good enough for 2nd place trunk class. Now to just get into the 147-148 range, I've been looking at the results and most 148db trunks take home a place at every show.

      Thanks guys! Im kinda wondering if my car would do good in meca because of how low I peak. I have done ZERO testing. All i did was threw my seats and visors forward and closed my air vents. Did a 80-25hz sweep at half volume. They said between 30 and 35hz I started at 30 doing full tilt burps skipping trace from 30-35. So i think my peak is 33 or 34.

      An awesome score at a fun frequency.. Well done :D

  6. So the accord had a bail out today. A kid was talking shit how his uncles truck shattered glass and it cut his hand and his mom was yelling off 2 15's and 2 3000 watt amps. I was like... Damn bro, it had to have been doing 160's then right? He was like yeah! I asked him if he wanted to hear my system.. He bailed. Cool story bro.

      maybe that his uncle is the same guy who had told AMI trhat his truck isnt loud?

  7. watching people on a Facebook classifieds thing argue about how low they wire their m4a daily. Talking about .25 and .35 daily. Sure maybe they are, and maybe the amp takes it... But why? Im wired .5 daily holding high 13's but ill never wire that low again. Id rather just get another amp.

  8. SOO... How do you guys feel about clipping indicators on our fav amps bass knob? Are the all the same? Are they actually accurate?

    1. Show previous comments  5 more
    2. ChevyBoy95

      ChevyBoy95

      Some seem accurate, but since iirc they detect clipping from rail voltage, they are generally not right. Set with an oscope or dd-1 and fuck the red clip light.

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      That's also what I've seen around. Someone good with amps can you explain the rail voltage thing?

    4. kirill007

      kirill007

      Useless, if you don't hear or see any stress then it doesn't matter that you are clipping.

      after i thought it was coil rub, took the subs out. gave them a GOOD bit of power. almost 2 inches of excursion later and 4 straight songs i determined they were fine. Reinstalled and the squeak is back. ERGGG dafuq.

  10. New Ct2500 put me back in the 12v club full tilt. 13.1-12.8 full tilt rev, 12.1-11.8 idle at a stop light the whole 30-45 seconds.

      Swordlordboy1234

      also remember, I went from a 2500 at 14.4 volt amp.. (maybe less, never proven on dyno).. to a 3900+ at 14.4 volt amp that has a cousin that passed the dyno with flying colors. That could account for the 13.7 to 12.8 voltage drop difference.

      Ok I see!! nice!!!!! well time to upgrade that electrical to feed that beast!!!

    4. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Working on the electrical thing. I gotta get a cold air intake to make under hood room. And then a CCA to OFC conversion along with a Deka to XS power conversion with a DC power 270XP should get some better voltage. I hope.....

  11. Apparently I hold 13.7 on my worst note with a very very soft clip, ct sounds 2500 at .5ohms nominal. Should I shoot for 14's?

      I have a "270" Tenney a D3400 and 3 D3100.... I think my sk2500 will be good a .5 till I get a second one lol

    4. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      I was holding 12.0 with same electrical as now with Skar 2500 at .5, bad ground, and CCA. Found amazing ground. Held 13.8.. Then upgraded ct2500 at .5 and was back down to 12.4... Then OFC and Xs power got me back to 13.7... Grounds ftw.

  12. I wonder if i put "Walled" on my build log if i would get more comments. Seems like you need to have a wall, yoga pants or buttsecks.

  13. Anyone know about lemon laws with alternators? It isn't mine, but a buddies and it's only 2 months old with 2 breaks so far. In the process of working it out with the company, but I didn't know about the lemon law in different states.

      Swordlordboy1234

      Well I'm in Texas. He is in PA. But the alternator broke legit the first Time. The company blamed it on him having too big of a bass amp for the 170amp alternator they built. But they replaced. Now it's happening again and charging on and off... Just trying to research other option for him incase the company doesn't want to refund. He wants a refund since this has happened twice in 2 months.

      So this is an HO alt?

    4. Dwn4BassAlan

      Dwn4BassAlan

      Yeah, I had an alt in my taurus that went out for no reason, turns out they say 1/1000 is just built bad, and needs to be replaced. It was a stock one they replaced at the dealer, so no charge. But I would bet they will be much more hesitant to cover any H/O alt....

      a lot of the that stuff the original recordings were so god awful all the bass in the world wont help. I mean why do you have to make it sound like you are singing into a plastic fucking cup?

  18. Why is it that everything on my car not done by myself is broken after a couple short months? Good thing I got a refund on my box, and I checked all of my connections. Or I'd have a burnt down car and a bad box!

      I think maybe it's time you start to learn to do your own stuff. Just sayin, I don't trust anyone to touch my car, thus no anxiety of worrying about if someone else fucks it up or did it wrong. if I fuck it up, or do it wrong, I chalk it up to a learning experience and learn from my mistakes. I mean if you know enough to know what's done right and no right, then why are you going to others to have your stuff built? Just something to think about.

      Only thing i dont trust yet is my box building skills. Another BHE box should do it justice. :peepwall: Id like to learn one day. But I dont have the tools to do my own and i dont have the concrete knowledge of I GOT THIS SHIT in me yet. Ill have to mess up a box or two before i get decent im sure. But until i get the equipment, ill have to just get boxes built and do the rest myself.

  19. People pay A LOT of money in a brick and mortar store. Seen someone buy a w7 12 and a hd1200 yesterday at my store. Just thinking what I would have bought with that kinda money.
