    So, out of the loop, what brands are good?

    Haven't looked at amplifiers or sound systems for quite a while, 2 years or so, wondered if anything's changed. Looking at getting a new amplifier and I'd like to know what brands are relatively solid for reasonable prices (IE, not alpine/kenwood). Last time I was around, Hifonics was leading...

    sealed vs infinate baffle

    The more space you have, the better sound you'll get out of them, but the less power they'll be able to handle. I don't know the drivers, but it's a compromise - a small sealed box gives higher power handling, with more sound possible, but not as much of a low frequency extension. So take your...

    Weird problem, bass cuts off randomly

    Had this problem for a while.. But in a different manner. Turning it up made the subs play, but after a while, it would completely cut off regardless. I guessed loose connections, and the higher signal strength helped keep it playing? Just a guess though. Sounds like the LOC out of...

    Help me figure this out.

    I've had this, and it was from running the amp at too low of an impedance. I ran an IB sub, 4 ohms, to the back two channels of a 4 channel amp, bridged. However, running it IB meant I had no impedance rise from the box, and it was actually sitting around 3.2 to 3.4 ohms, causing the amp to...

    Who makes the "largest" 4 awg wire?

    That would be quite funny to see. Wonder if it'd pass off.

    DIY High output 13.8v power supply???

    It doesn't matter the voltage - it is still using 1.5hp with the alternator. You will not get enough power out of it. You will get a fair amount, but not nearly as much as you are looking for. A car alternator only does use 2-4hp, and it produces the equivalent amount of power for that...

    Focal & JL Sound System.

    What you have is a good setup, however; doing research, and taking some time, could produce a better system for a better price. The question is whether you would be willing to do that, rather than for you to either take advice from others, or to just go with what you have. The DIY drivers...

    5 hour energy saved my semester

    Not quite... It's the same principles as adderall, it wakes you up, and focuses the mind. It's made for people with ADD, who can't concentrate. Someone not on ADD taking it? Hella focused, hard to distract (once you sit down and start working... just don't take a forum/facebook break...

    Ok I know you all hate Caps for w.e reason...BUT

    Battery + Big 3 in 0 gauge, along with money to fix all the problems you've caused. That's all you need to do. A capacitor won't help your issues.

    Pssh. Go the good route. 70mg vyvanse. That stuff has a bit of a kick to it.

    Do I have enoug juice?

    You have a short ground to the metal... And then it goes through all the metal, which doesn't conduct that well, until it gets to the battery. A straight run of copper is a better ground than a 3ft ground to the frame, tbh. As long as the run is as big as the power.
