RedFred Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 slapped the ZV515s back in the old 4 15 box, even though people said 3.1 cubes per sub would be too small also sold one of my G30s (going to Cmax now), and found out one of my alts wasn't working.. still fixing that lower power and more gainsssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 swapped out my G30 for 135ah Cmax I did my measurements wrong and had to push the box 4" closer to the hatch: port is about 4" from the hatch now, so I figured scores would drop, but they gained marginally still dropping more than I'd like to, so I ordered more grounds and will be rebuilding my 2nd alt, along with raising voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 also got to give some fun demos at a local get together today it's funny how people flock to a vehicle that can demo more than 1 person at a time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFred Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 and then, I've been running dual alts for months now. finally bought an amperage clamp, went to test my alts awhile ago (this is when I had the 3 15s) and my one alt was not working been going back and forth with Jon @ Brand X for what feels like months now, and I cannot figure it out. I was told it was a regulator issue, so I bought a new one and replaced it: still didn't fix the issue swapped which alternator was where on the bracket (in case it was a ground issue) still nothing. swapped diodes. swapped power and ground. nothing. got the Brand X Electrical voltage knob (which works great): but that 1 alt still wouldn't do anything so I took it off and went back to the OEM alt, and 1 270a this will allow me to go back to charging closer to 16v also added some more (crappy) grounds to the 2 already (crappy) grounds I had just 4 runs to 2 of the seat bolts bought the wire to run dedicated runs from the alts, just need to find time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the Cmax. Tobbie and Mike @ Coventry were fantastic to me, and my voltage is much better. I ended up clamping about 6kw more by swapping from 2 G30s to the 135ah cmax, and about 10kw more from 1 g30 to the 135ah cmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 here's the last video of the truck before yet another rebuild got bored, did some theorycrafting, had Correy build me two new boxes that I'll pick up tomorrow left box is a Bassahaulic, Drew Jones design - 12 cubes, 270 square inches of port, tuned @ 38z right box is very similar to my current one, again designed by me - 11.67 cubes, 314 square inches of port, tuned @ 45hz I better get a 160 on the dash out of one of these..

RedFred Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 loaded up the new box with some ZV15s d0.7, 4 layer coil, mega roll v2 surround, progressive spiders wired @ 0.35 and clamping like 20kw, the best I did was a 158. I was NOT a fan of this sub build. swapped back for my SPL ZV5s (8 layer coil, spl surround, black spiders) wired back @ 0.5, clamping 17kw and did a 158.66 on the dash as the best this was the last video I got before my amp went up in flames about 3 burps later, boom - smoke and flames clipping was most likely the culprit. I was pushing HARD to try for a 159 on the dash gonna send it to Mark Cannady to rebuild, and he's going to add a clip light indicator so it won't happen in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
