Dragonsyph Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I’ve narrowed my search down to four options, 1. CES 300a, 240a hot idle for $605. 2. Mechman E 370a, 200a+ idle $599 3. CES 390a with 170-180 idle $595 Mechman and the 390 have machines aluminum cases not sure about the 300. 4. CES 370a , says around 200 idle for $495 but in regular ugly case. I know Mechman as 2 year warranty vs CES at 6 months. Leaning to the Mechman for 2 year warranty but the CES for 495 seems good, but ugly. Which of the two would you guys choose and why? Or maybe another brand for aroudnsame price? GP are about 900 and singers are about 759 with no billet case. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonsyph Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Ok I just bought the mechman 370 for 590 shipped, is there anything I should tell them like self exciting and internal charge of 14.9? Or stick with the factory wiring so the battery light won’t come on? Also orderd the 2440NEX, getting very excited. Now to order sky high 1/0 50 feet for 180 or royal welding wire 2/0 50 feet 110. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered 50 feet of the black, thanks. does the hydrolic crimper work good with this cable? Thinking of getting the 50 dollar one. For 2/0 wielding wire what would be the best lugs? Guessing copper with 1/2 hole and 2/0 since it’s real AWG ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonsyph Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 The welding wire i ordered turns out is out of stock lol. So after looking at the price with shipping, it was only 20 dollars more to buy skyhigh 1/0 50' with free shipping. So i got 50 feet of Skyhigh blue along with 20 1/0 copper rings. Also picked up some skyhigh RCA's 3 foot and 12 foot. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
