  1. Two of those amps per sub at 2 ohm would definitely be a noticeable difference over 1 per sub at 1ohm. Whether or not you should do it is something you need to decide, The subs should take it fine if you know what you're doing.
  2. All factory paintjobs that I've ever seen excluding high end exotics have orange peel, it's always easiest to spot on black too. That's irrelevant though, it's a beautiful truck and it doesn't need anything done to the paint, looks fine the way it is. I love black cars but man does it suck keeping them clean, And you have 3 now, I feel for you Steve, Lol.

      decent price but I highly doubt it is actually making 375rwhp, those are bolt on/cam numbers and that car still has the stock lid on it.....

      Sorry for beating you too it, lol.

      I was kinda surprised when I saw them and didn't see anything about it posted here yet.

      all good we just got it up and running but i was kinda busy at the shop...didn't have time to bring it up yet haha! thanks man!!

  3. But why did you open it and then tape the box back up to make the video? It's pretty clear that you had already opened it.
  4. If he has to replace his belts that often he has a pulley alignment issue or something else going on.
  5. Yes, Expeditions too. The problem is the brackets won't be as easily available as they are for the gm full size vehicles
  6. Any gm fullsize suv will work with that many alts. Tahoe, yukon, escalade, suburban.
  7. And honestly if you've got 8k on tap you should just buy subs better suited to that kind of power, All you do when you're way overpowering subs like that is just waste lots of power by having it be turned into heat.
  8. Just because you have 8krms worth of amp it doesn't mean those subs are ever gonna see 8k. Also just because it works out that way for your build doesn't mean it will for his build.
  9. Using an o-scope would be a valid method, The other method they told you to use is bullshit. Good luck hearing 1% distortion with your ears, especially at 50hz.
  10. What headunit is being used? Have you measured the rca voltage? Maybe it's just so low that the gain needs to be turned up all the way, Very Doubtful but possible.
  11. No, we all know what you're trying to say, we are telling you your logic is wrong but you just don't want to hear it. A gain knob is not a volume knob or a magic watt-o-meter. As a matter of fact an amp can make its full power with the gain all the way down of the input voltage is high enough. The gain is to match the input voltage, plain and simple, What are you going to do if your max clean setting is almost nothing on that gain? Also once again, wiring at .5 ohm and turning down is still not the same for the amp as wiring at 1 ohm, A 1ohm stable amp doesn't suddenly become a .5ohm stable amp because you turned it down. But I'm guessing you won't listen and will just keep thinking you're are right because you weren't here to get told your logic is wrong, you just want somebody to cosign on your ignorance. All that being said, if your electrical can support that amp at .5ohm that amp will handle it just fine. It will take more current to make the same power at .5ohm than it will at 1 ohm because the amp will be much more inefficient so your electrical better be up for the task. You can't magically get around the laws of physics.
  12. No, it is not the same thing. You would actually need more amperage to create the 6k @ .5 than it would to do it at 1 ohm due to efficiency loss at .5. Gain is not a volume knob. The answer is no, running at .5ohm but turned down is not the same as running it at 1 ohm.
  13. Because electrics have advanced so much that the benefits that gas ones used to have over them are gone. Plus they are a lot easier to maintain as well.
