  1. Battery Isolators - How do they work? Do you need one?

    in Sonic Electronix - Great Selection Great Prices

    Posted

    Good video.

    So many people think they need isolators without understanding why. The fact of the matter is: most people don't. And the only folks who benefit from it are, as you mentioned, people who play for extended periods with the car off. Like at an indoor show or something

    what about keeping a wet cell battery upfront to start the car and run maybe a 4 channel on it

    and a bank of AGM's in the back for the sub amps

    (cheaper than buying a AGM for upfront)

    But why do that? Just get an AGM for the front.

    I know you might be on a budget, but find another way. Consider the cost of an isolator vs. selling your front battery and buying an AGM. Or either downsizing or eliminating the rear battery altogether

    yeah true lol

    im not saying its for me personally im just saying it might help people on a budget

    and selling a wet cell isnt gonna profit much more than like 50 bucks depending on how old it is

  5. Deadener Decision

    I have started to look at Stinger Roadkill and it seems like it will be one of my top choices. you mention that you feel like you wasted money on Audio Technix. Why do you feel this way. Just wanting to hear you oppinion.

    What is your opinion on Murdermat? I hear its somewhat the same as Audiotechnix, but I dont have any experience with either of them.

    more expensive than Knu and audio technix

    basically the same as audio technix and knu

    i am officially bias towards deadners after the SECOND time i felt like i wasted money on audio technix

    stinger road kill is the BEST (amount/cost/thickness) out their

    120 bucks for 80+ mill 36 sq ft

    got a "sample" of the old 80 mil (tan adhesive) and it was melted together and all gooey (USPS PRIORITY) so like 4 day transit time

    then 3 days later when i got my 40 sq ft of it.. it still had the same problem... all melted to its self (at that time they sold it on the roll)

    well i just got my "60 mil" 40 sq ft pack today and its REALLY thin... like fatmat 50 mil thickness im going to have to double layer it which if i knew it would have been this thin i would have just bought another roadkill bulk pack

    other than that the rubber "foil" he now uses feels cheap and ineffective (their is a reason thick foil is used not rubber shit)

    i did a whole rite up like 6 months ago on all of the deadener ive used

    fat mat

    hush mat

    rattle trap

    second skin damp pro

    roadkill (and roadkill "Stealth")

    2 different types of audio technix (now)

    dynamat

    and i think ive used some of that cheap shit off ebay a year ago or so (cheaper than fat mat lol)

    imho (MY opinion!!!) nothing compares to roadkill for the quantity, thickness and price

    if i had no budget id defiantly get secondskin damp pro all day!

    but the only suitable replacement in my eye's is stinger roadkill (the stealth is a little thinner than regular)

  10. Who is having issues with Tyler Parrish

    in Buyer / Seller Feedback

    Posted

    i did a deal prior with him ( he bought from me and item came damaged) i refunded the money and he worked with me on getting the insurance shit squared away with USPS (which is a BITCH if anyone has ever had to do it)

    i know he was having housing issues and car issues last time i talked to him (few 3 weeks ago i think)

    sorry if this isnt relevant and i hope everyone gets the shit they paid for or the money back....

  12. 150 @ 30hz?

    in SKAR AUDIO - (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

    Posted · Edited by Nate Futuristic

    So would the magical 33hz be about the way to go? I at the very least want to hit a 150. The lower I can do that the better.

    With those woofers and amps (while they might be good) is say tune to 30-35hz and let her twang...

    Meters where invented to disappoint... Ask orionstang :P

  15. Sundown X-10 / X-15 / X-18 Prototypes Here

    in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!

    Posted

    I know I read it somewhere, but I can't seem to remember...

    What is the estimated release date on these guys?

    Don't quote me on it but I seen Jacob posted on caco I think saying mind April/june

    That's after the preorder (no zv4 pre order obviously)

    I was planning on getting two 18s if preorder starter here soon (i get my work bonus and taxes within the next 3 weeks) but that is to far away LOL

    Wish I could just pay for some "cuztom x-18zz" and have em shipped by the first week of march

  16. 4500.1D Question

    Posted

    You'll be fine with either a 250 or 300 amp fuse on each power input. As long as your fuses equal or surpass the amp's fuse rating, you're set.

    Define surpass the amps fuse rating. Are you saying larger than the amps required fuse rating is ok???
    Whoa, sorry, that was a bit of a mistype. I was trying to say that you should try to equal the amp's fuse rating.
    no

    You don't worry about the amp... You fuse for the wire

    quote name="Soahctnelis" post="2334759" timestamp="1360218042"]

    Even though I'm using CCA and not OFC? Would I burn up the wire if I used a 300A fuse?

    Cca is usually rated 250ish amps @ 20ft length... If your run is under that you'll be fine

    Edit.... Fucked that quote up.. I'm on mobile sorry
