[4 15s in a jeep.]

Heres a pic of this box in my jeep, and i even had one that was bigger than this before.

And yes i can get my back seat up.

[4 15s in a jeep.]

and now im running two sundown niteshade 18s in 9 cube net box.

[4 15s in a jeep.]

wat up my man , i have a jeep srt8 which is smaller than the regular cherokee in the back and i have had numerous four 15 boxes in there and pounded the shit out of the truck, i have had four rockford p 3s and i recently had four american bass hd 15"s in 16 cubes net net and broke the sunroof rite out of my truck.

[Since im shrinking my box from 10 cubes to 8- 8.5 do i still need both 8 " aero ports???]

Port area depends on a lot of factors, not only the box size, but mostly on the sub, what subs are you gonna use?

sundown zv3 18"s , i dont no if your familiar with those but sundown subs like smaller boxes compared to most companies. I talk to the owner of sundown and he said put them in a box about 8.35 net after displacements with the power i have. They recommend 4 cubes per driver for 18s.

[Since im shrinking my box from 10 cubes to 8- 8.5 do i still need both 8 " aero ports???]

Since im shrinking my box from 10 cubes to 8.5 do i still need both 8 " aero ports I had two 8" aero ports in a box that was 9.83 to 10 cubes net but now im shrinking my box to 8 to 8.5 cubic ft net. Can i get away with only using one 8" aero port. I seen a guy who had a box that was like 9 cubes net with four sundown niteshade 12s on about 8k and it was nasty loud. so im wondering since im going to 8-8.5 roughly on the same power this should work rite????

[Wats the pros and cons of running tool maker dual inputs to a crescendo bc3500 or sundown 3500]

He is a member here, but he uses Car Audio Classifieds and has his own section there. (hmm am I allowed to say that? Guess I'll find out?) His work is top notch and does more than just dual inputs. Pretty much anything you want.

Like so:

wat else does he make

Imagine an hour glass with a 1 inch neck an another with a 2 inch neck, The sand would flow alot easier through the 2 inch neck. Which would be less resistance and make it more effcient.

that makes sense, im find toolmaker some were online and oder them then.

[Ive seen guys on here talking bout 0 guage welding cable is cheaper than 0 guage power wire, is this true and were to buy.]

Ive seen guys on here talking bout 0 guage welding cable is cheaper than 0 guage power wire, is this true and were to buy.

its seems like you can get cheaper 50 ft of 0 guage power wire then welding cable online.

mmmmmmm...NO vs treadds???

LOL what?

It depends... for a low power setup I would say negligible... but its for less resistance. Think of it as a water pipe, a wider pipe puts the water under less pressure to get where it needs to go. For those two amps it couldnt hurt, both are single inputs and for a 3500 watt amp at full tilt, the current draw is right up there for a single run of 1/0.

so basically with dual inputs i can more juice to the amps. then especially with two runs of 0 goin into the amp.

LoL no way this a vs thread, and you spelled thread wrong. Most likely you want see much of increase in power , but it would diffinetly help it get power more efficiently.

i like your answer, but when you say more efficiently wat do you mean.

[Wats the pros and cons of running tool maker dual inputs to a crescendo bc3500 or sundown 3500]

its not a vs thread, because im not asking about the amps, i alreadly have my amps, i just want to no if there any benifits of using dual inputs

wats up guys , im wondering wats the pros and cons of running tool maker dual inputs to a crescendo bc3500 or sundown 3500? like will i see a power increase or is even worth it to buy them.

[Do you run your extra runs of 0 to the front battery or alternator]

So you would have a run from the alt to the battery to the amp?

yes correct

[Do you run your extra runs of 0 to the front battery or alternator]

hey wats up fellow bass heads, im noticing a a drop in my voltage and i was wondering would it make any diffrence if i disconnected the extra runs of 0 guage coming from the back to alt to the front battery then alternator. like basically my extra runs of 0 are connected to my alternator meaning power wire. but i was thinking bout taking them off and connecting them to the front battery then to the alternator., would ait make a diffrence

[Does aluminum bus bars give you a better connection than just using power wire to connect batteries.]

Aluminum and copper are both very good electrical conductors. Aluminum is less expensive and lighter in weight, But copper is a better conductor (Talking about wiring)

The reason for this has to do with two metallurgical properties of aluminum. First, aluminum corrodes, and the corroded aluminum is an insulator. Unfortunately, aluminum corrodes very quickly, and the corrosion is not visibly obvious. As a result. corrosion can be present in a connection involving aluminum conductors, and this corrosion can lead to localized heating in the connection.

The other problem is 'cold flow' - specifically, that when aluminum is placed under pressure, it will gradually conform to whatever physical constraint caused that pressure in a way that leads to a reduction in pressure. When connections are made to aluminum conductors, this characteristic causes those connections to gradually loosen over time as the aluminum 'flows' out of the joint.

man thanks for the info, this makes me not even want to use aluminum bus bar no more and just use straight power wire now. do they make copper bus bars.

Does aluminum bus bars give you a better connection than just using power wire to connect batteries... if so wat the best size to use like 1" thick 2" thick etc.
