Fecupe, I know you have some experience with DD and especially the 2500series which is what I have and the M1B or M1C (same thing). what kind of electrical should i be running for my M1C when i am at .5 ohm load. (i got M1C btw for $275, got a good deal directly form talking to DD)

That´s a kick ass deal, congrats!!!! Well, i haven´t played with the 2510´s that much but i´ve played A LOT with the 2512´s , my electrical it´s a single battery , 4 runs of 0 gauge and a mechman alternator with big3, with the m1b pounding all day long i don´t drop below 12.3v , if i were you, i would try a couple of GREAT batts and big3, don´t think you need an alternator with that electrical.

About the box, efficiency is definitely what you need because you don´t have that much power believe it or not, the 2500 series can take 1500 clamped watts without any problems if you have 0 clipping, i would do something like 1.75-1.9 cubic feet and a single 8" aeroport, that should MURDER any car, specially using your cheap 275$ amplifier that gives you more than 2000 watts LOL

should i pm you with these questions? not trying to take this thread over. but it may be useful for others since the power range applies to all these amplifiers you are testing. When you say 4 runs of 0 gauge what does that mean? 4 positives going to the amp with a distribution block? or 2 pos 2 neg and how does it connect to amp at back? and I have done big 3 already. In addition, I have a mercedes, so alternator is up froint and battery is in back. that being said, should I run more than 1 run of 0 gauge form alt to batt? and then how many more batts should I put in back? and which is a good brand/ size for my setup? a new alternator is prolly not gunna happen right now but maybe down the road. mercedes parts are usually very expensive. and for s=my 2510s you recommend 1.75-1.9 per? DD recs 1.5 and thats what I did already for 2 seperate boxes and it sounds awesome. will the aero port be louder than slot port or more efficient? sorry for so many questions. Im jsut trying to finalize my system so I can be done for a while. School is starting back up. I'll be done in april though when I need it to be out to bump in spring!

I´m going to my girl´s house right now, when i get back i´ll PM you with a long answer lol, i´ll also specify my current electrical so people can have more details of what i´m using for the test, thanks for the input :)

Electrical:

Mechman 270A alternator

Big4 : Regular big3 plus a negative wire from Alternator to battery neg.

Battery : Kinetik HC2400

Wire: 4 runs of Soundquest 0 gauge, 2 positive and 2 negative, they come from the Kinetik battery to the buss bars on the back, i had 2 batts on the back and that´s why i had the bars but i´m only using a battery on front, so, the 4 runs get to the bars, and from there, i have 1 pos and 1 neg to feed the amplifier.

That´s pretty much it i guess, not a big electrical at all for this "challenge" , i´m trying to keed a voltage dropping to a normal application since not everybody has a big ass alternator and 4 runs of wire, i could install the extra 2 batts on the back, but there´s no point since i´m only using small amplifiers :)

Sending you a PM right now...

I know its been posted, but BRZ will not let you down!!! I promise :good:

The spot with least resistance LOL.

I would ground to a rubber dildo if it had less resistance than a run of 4/0 wiring.

how many poeple work there 3 or 4 lol

At crescendo HQ? probably 2-3

At the sweatshop in china? 30,000 children

No Engine

It´s definitely a kick ass amplifier, brz2400.1 it´s gonna be tested on the 2000-2500 watts amplifier challenge ;)
