    speaker wires out the port or drilled/siliconed

    has anyone noticed a difference in SPL or SQ output between running the speaker wires out through the port vs drilling a hole and siliconing them in? I do not want to use a terminal cup or all-thread bolts/nuts (too many connections and unnecessary resistance)

    sound deadening and FAST rings?

    replacing four factory 6x8's with cerwin vega v468 powered by precision power p900.4 (which will be running alongside a solo x 12 and sundown saz-3000D). is sound deadening necessary? I already do get a lot of ratting in the doors from the woofer. if so, what is the...

    4 channel amp recommendations? need at least 100w x 4 at 4ohm

    just looking for some amp recommendations for a nice 4 channel, at least 100watts x 4 at 4ohm to power four cerwin-vega v468 6x8 2-way coaxials looking for quality rather than total power, although more is always better. this will be running alongside a sundown saz-3000d with a solo x 12.

    Not impressed with Sundown x-15v2, I hope its settings...Help and opinions needed

    do you know the actual tuning frequency of the box? have you set the gains, subsonic, lpf, and bass boost on amp? one 1500w rms can only do so much. maybe try a smaller box tuned to higher frequency. i like high 30s, even up to 40.

    voltage dropping!

    don’t know how far the voltage drops - my DMM isn’t fast enough... how would you rec mend testing this? dual 2 ohms in parallel = 1 ohm equivalent

    voltage dropping!

    yes, gains set with DMM and fine tuned by ear - no clipping or distortion (that i can detect).

    voltage dropping!

    completed big 3 yesterday (actually more like big 5 cause there are 2 batteries under the hood - alternator to battery, battery to battery, each battery to chassis, and engine block to chassis) with knukonceptz 1/0 OFC... definitely helped but i can still see a change in brightness of my...

    voltage dropping!

    200 amp alternator, 2 stock batteries, one Soundquest SQB2000 battery, all 1/0 knukonceptz ofc wiring (except big 3), and lights still dim on the beat. sundown SAZ 3000-D with a solo x 12 in 5.5 cubes ported at 39hz. planning to do big 3 this weekend. any other advice is greatly appreciated.

    best car audio battery brand

    ********, he is a prof of electrical engineering at a UC. I made the same argument you did, but his answer was that the output impedance of the battery is less than the output impedance of the alternator, so a new battery would be more effective (dB magnitude/dollar) than a new alternator...

    currently running one soloX 12" on a sundown 3000Z mono amp in about 3 cubes ported. stock alternator, 2 stock batteries (650 CCA each), but I am getting bad voltage drops when it is turned up. gains are adjusted correctly using dmm at test frequencies, single run of 0 gauge power cable to amp...
