brewer_brewer Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 if you haven't bought the optima already then i would suggest another company for your batt powermaster, kinetik optimas aren't very good batteries from my experience. they don't last as long as they claim. i only use them because i get them for free Quote REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loburbon Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 thats a good list. Nice truck bro. I'm working on a 87 dime. It's getting a single dd 9515. I just got done putting in a 350 under the hood. My wife has a dd 3515, running on 400rms and she is doing a 143@45hz out of the trunk.

Ahhh i love the box dimes man, espatially one with a 350 stuffed in it! I will be putting a built 5.3 on a 100 shot into mine soon after i get this system knocked out. If she hits a 143 with a single 15 on 400 then my 18 on 1000 better be at least 140 capable and thats all i want! LOL.

loburbon Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 well i have been doing this for years, and there's a handful of others on here that are the same way. it's 90% in your box build. Some people can throw 1000+ watts at something and only be in the 130's, while others that know box and system designing can do 140+ easily on just a little bit of power. What im trying to say is dont expect a 140+ just because your going to have a big sub and decent power. If you dont hit a 140+ just step back and look at what you can change. Oh yea here's a little tip, if you plan on doing a regular box and not a wall, build it sub forward port up on the driver side. here's a link to my dime check it out.http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?act=findpost&pid=866332 Quote 2000 gmc yukon 4 sundown Zv3 15's 4 dd m2a's kenwood kdc-x994 2 batcap 4000's 1 batcap 2000 dual alts. 154@37hz and climbing http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3231683 http://www.myspace.com/torque150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my box is sub forward port up on driver side. I'll definately check out your dime though man, and thanks for your help.

LoudNLow931 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 What rims do you have on your truck? They look like Iroc's, Have any more pics of the truck? List looks good, Can't wait to see the build.

Two weeks after i put them on i had a little run in with a pothole(still wasnt used to rubber bands LOL), and im saving for new tires.

99xtremedime Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Absolutely, but as mentioned already, go with Powermaster or Kinetik. Check and see what the biggest one you can fit under your hood, and that should be fine... Instead of doing a distro block from 1/0 to 4ga, try and keep at least the T10001 on 1/0... Other than that, looks like a good list... Very true... Ok, ill run 1/0 to the T10001, i didnt think it would need it though but i guess its always good to be sure.

99xtremedime Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 one more question, AQ1200D or RF T1000-1BD? The RF is a bit more expensive, and the AQ puts out around the same power and is about $200 more affordable.
