best tip is spend 4 years of your life going to competitions and eat, sleep, breath SPL knowledge from the godz of SPL.

he was also doing it at around 20hz and that was the reason he went IB.

The big three should be done for almost any application no mater how big or small. That is just basic common sense and should not even need to be said.

This topic = a lot of stupidity. You get responses like, hey I don’t know nothing about electricity but I can tell you that caps don’t work.

The term one wire has to do with control of the alternator not the power wire. Yes leave the front battery alone. Having a second charging system dedicated to the amplifiers has several advantages. One of those is that you can externally regulate voltage without disturbing the car and all its...

i agree and will add that it will also do next to nothing for your amplifiers. LOL

I think the repair will be about $300 plus shiping from what i have been told by other people with a problem like yours.

You can do it either way but you can run into problems with blown alternator output diodes when running multiple alternators to a single battery bank. I have a friend who uses three high output Ohio generator alts on one battery bank with no problems but they are exactly the same alts with equal...

Adding a second or third alt is not hard or expensive. I have four alts under the hood of my van. The chevy 140 amp one wire alt makes it easy and you can get them from a junk yard for about $25 bucks each. They produce plenty of power at idle vs some of the high output alts that don’t produce...

Lots of people have tried to start new organizations but they don’t last very long. The majority of competitors the United States are in Ohio. You can look that up by looking at the two largest organizations members list which are listed on their web sites. There are more competitors in Ohio...

You would use EBP as a guide and I will add a link for you. You will be able to see for yourself using EBP as the guide that the numbers you gave indicate ported is your best bet. link LoudspeakerBuilder.ca - (Thiele-Small Parameters)

Some subs will perform better in a ported box and some better in sealed box. The thiele small parameters are used to determine what box will get the most output for your sub. I remember a great debate that took place twenty years ago about which (ported or sealed) would be the first to break...

It’s so easy and inexpensive to do it up nice that I always go for more than I actually need. I do 0 from alt to battery 0 from alt case to ground 0 from engine to ground 0 from battery to frame and engine and body When I do cars for other people I do it this way also. Its just too easy and...

The way an alternator works has already been explained in the other thread this guy started. It’s the same as a home generator and if you ever listened to a home unit or the engine in your car you will hear the engine lug down when a demand is put on the generator or alternator. You then have...
