I don't care really who wins the series. I love both teams and would love to see either team win, but I do think that the last game was atrocious on OKC's part and a little lacking on Miami's part as well. However from what I've been seeing/reading/based on past games, I think Game 4 tomorrow will be a good game and just a very good rest of the series!

Really OKC? 15 out 24 free throws?! In THE FINALS?! Ridiculous...Get it together. Sorry SMD. Hopefully somebody else cares lol. and Durant, with 5 turnovers. smh.

haha nah man. Just looking into it

I'm actually uploading a video on youtube that will explain this. XS Power gives a good wattage rating on their batts. You can use that as a guide and figure the alternator size required by the batteries you need to charge. Though you may be limited on alt size. General idea is that the MAX amps of a batt can translate to it's wattage capabilities. At least in a short time frame. It will be important to have a proper alt to keep that battery charged as the amplifiers are draining them. Example, a XS Power D3100 has a max amperage rating of 5000A. This is a short burst rating. XS Power rates it at 5000w capability. Notice this is NOT amperage times voltage. This is based off of a longer period of load time. If you take into account amplifier efficiency and other losses in the system. You can get a realistic 4200w with that battery while playing music for a long period of time with amplifiers that are 85% efficient. Now, you will need an alternator of at least 120a to feed that battery to a charge ratio of 1:1. This is approx how many minutes of charge it will take to top off the battery after that many minutes of full power play. So play at full tilt for 1 minute and it will need 1 minute to top off. Of course with 4200w you can play for several minutes. These numbers in the example are just figures based on my own calculations and would be a bit lower if you are also using that battery to run the engine. Thanks man. This helps a lot!

You bought a very very nice amp and dont even know the specs of it?? http://www.dcsoundlab.com/5k.html scroll down. the website lists them . . . they even give you a recomendation of what you should run!!! common man I haven't bought it yet. I know they give recommendations, but my mindset no matter what is research research research! I could easily look at the specs and everything on the site and assume that's that but I'm just not that comfortable.

Well yeah I want good electrical! lol!

It's going in a 2012 Dodge Challenger I plan on getting an XS power XP3000 for the amp and a XP2000 for the main batt. Eric, I think you make a 270a alt for this vehicle?

damn that's a bit hefty but those things are beautiful.

Cool! Thanks man!

Yeah they look a bit beefy!

Anybody had any experience with these? Not sure if they're new or not. I've never heard any bad reviews about Crescendo but I'm just curious about these.

Well that's what I'm wondering, if there's a way to look at the amp specs or the watts and figure out how much you will need. The amp in question is a DC 5.0k

I'm wondering, how do you know how much battery/alt power (amps or ah) you need to sufficiently supply a certain amplifier?

What are the dimensions on it?

are there any final pics or concept pics of what the grills will look like? if they come with grills that is.

Yeah now I'm kind of over it and just take it for what it is, a learning experience!

nothing lower than -10. if you play decaf or bigpimpin a lot, then -5. alright thanks man. Like I said this is just a VERY painful learning experience.

so i'm assuming i should just stick with 0db test tone

OH yeah i did use a test tone for the DD-1 I used the "40hz -15db" tone! I thought he meant to break in the woofer. and "reckless"= me drunkenly driving home and getting a little frisky with my volume knob. Though i never turned it past the max unclipped volume i measured with the DD-1.

I uh..didn't use a test tone. I guess this is just a very valuable, very painful learning experience.

I used a DD-1 to set it all up and it sounded clean but I guess it wasn't because as you guys said the coil came unwound I feel like a fucking idiot

Alright I'll do that. And trust me I kind of wish it was my amp

What do you mean check the coils? I have a DMM

I'll try and get detailed pics up tomorrow but from face value it looks fine I haven't taken it out the box and looked at it yet since its 3 in the morning over here

Okay do I just got my subwoofer in and I have been trying to break it in but I guess I got a little reckless with it and it just cut out but i smelled the port and everything and and it doesn't smell or smoke like its blown but when I push on it it is SUPER stiff can someone please tell me what is wrong and if it's fixable. Please and thank you
