Team BAD Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 You sir, have given me some ideas. Glad i could help trust me a lot of thought went into my builds trying to get everything to fit lol. The ONLY thing I see is a amp that does not have the proper amount of current! Read the manual, 2 alternators and 8 batteries minimum. Hope your amp last, I've seen one bite the dust for the same reason! The manual says 2 200A alt and 8 800A batteries I Have a 300A alt which is the biggest i could get and 2 batteries which are 6000A each so i compensated for the alt with the batteries. If you do the math 8 X 800 = 6400 and 2 X 6000 = 12000 So its not underpowered like you think. I'll let you tell the story to Kicker...by the way we posted a 153.7 with 2 Kicker Solo X 18s on a Sundown 4000 watt amp! The Warhorse on the same set-up you have mentioned, AND SOME, only did 149.8! Something to think about huh? Well what ohm load was it at? What was the limiter set at? What kind of power were you sending it? A lot of things could be the cause of that cause the way you connect a warhorse is way different than any amp. Also ive been running my warhorse for almost 8 months under that set up with the limiter all the way down which means full power and its never even shown a glimmer of going out so i think im safe. The guy posting 53s was safe too until Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy posting 53s was safe too until If it goes out whatever i have three more in storage so im safe lol and im a kicker authorized dealer and ive made sure everything was covered i did a lot of talking with kicker tech support as well as a lot of other research about this and everyone i spoke with said i was ok too.

baaudio Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 do you have the box sealed off from the trunk? that would prolly help you on the meter Sealing the trunk won't help the voltage, or keep that 10,000 from cooking due to a lack of voltage! i dont care about his voltage issues. im just saying that sealing the trunk up would reduce the volume of air hes trying to move in the car which would mean louder on a termlab. his voltage issues will only be solved with additional batteries cuz i doubt he will get another alt on it.

I dont understand why everyone thinks i have voltage issues the fact of the matter is i don't drop bellow 12.9v even after playing my system for long periods of time. and yeah can only fit one tried to come up with ways for 2 alt but where its located is not very possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the1uwannab Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 needs port area badly Im a little under max specs the port dimensions were given to me by Scott from Ascendant Audio so im pretty confident in the dimensions he gave me and its loud i can definitely say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People dont realize that amp only draws 750A of current which is aa lot less then some smaller high wattage amps out there. Its incredibly efficient for the power it provides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
