I don't think the DC Audio 90.4 will like 16-18v. So i plan on using these XS Power Step down modules. They are not made for continuous use but with them being on a mids and high amp which will have a dynamic load, it should be ok Plus i plan on putting fans on them. More on that if and when i use them. (

Now you KNOW that Skyhigh Audio 2/0 Wiring is very thick. A little too thick to fit inside the 1/0 terminals on the DC Audio 9.0k. Jon at Skyhigh though has thought of it all. I got these reducers from him and i am good to go now!

They are NOT TIGHTENED down yet so if some are a little crooked, it's only because of that. They have a flat spot and when you do torque them down, they all sit perfectly level.

These amps have vents and a fan below so i could not just put the amp on a board and screw it down. I had to raise it up about an inch to accommodate some air movement.

Hoping to be able to try it out by the weekend! maybe even tomorrow. I really have to start thinking about other stuff like a source unit, processing, etc. No rush, this is all experimental to me. I have no idea if any of it will even be good. I hope though.

thanks for checking in!

So me and the wife stopped by the shop to drop our camping gear off. While i was there i was like "babe...wanna see if the Terdcell can do a hairtrick"? and being the great wife she is, and she JUST got her hair did the day before, she said "of course". Honestly, no matter what the db, wall or not...a hair trick is NOT a guarantee. It coulda been week for all i know, it all depends on air movement. But i wanted to see how it would go and it went well :) Speaking of "went", i think i gotta call a glass guy because i cracked the windshield. Funny part is i was excited about it. Only a basshead would... :roflmao:

i need to see if the hairtrick is BETTER by the port side. I didn't think of trying that. I got forever and a day though because this is a do whatever i want, whenever i want kinda project. No rush, it may never make it out of the shop because I DGAF. :nuts:

  • 8 months later...
This project was always intended to be a "work on it when i feel like it" type of build. I accomplished my goal of breaking the windshield and posting a 160+ with this system so i decided to work on other stuff for a bit. The vehicle ran like crap anyway so i wasn't excited about putting an alternator in it, barely able to stay running. But something changed the other day. I decided to try and get to the bottom of why it wasn't running right and although it isn't perfect, it runs MUCH better! As soon as i got it to hold an idle i knew it was time to install the alternator. So here we are. My last numbers were posted with batteries only so this will probably help!


Working on a little video right now.


Thanks for watching!
