2005 Tahoe - No Wall 161+ dB Daily (8 12s, 40kw, kick)


Recommended Posts

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

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

the Cmax is really starting to bring the build alive. still dropping to 13.5v on burps, but holding 14s on music

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

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

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..

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)

 

1g6K2ps.jpg

 

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
