Anybody else have any experience with the hdc3s and/or hdc4s? Looking for anyone else's 2cents. Thx much

It's my daily driver which I will take to a spl comp. If it ends up being worthy. I know I won't see those number after every factor involved. It was just a number based on the dyno. I know it's not real world numbers.

Correction* I will be wiring 2 strapped amps down to 1ohm not 1.5ohms. So each sub will be getting around 2200w rms. This according to the dyno testing on YouTube.

I have had 3 hds3 12s in 8cubes net tuned to 35hz powered by 2 skar sk1500d strapped at 1.34ohms for a few months now. I've been saving up and I'm ready to upgrade. I've been goin back and forth on what to do for 2weeks now and figured hey let me ask the community. I'm 100% buying 2 more...

Yes the parts where swapped out when the local shop built the alternator. It is a reputable local company. I'm going to take some readings with a voltmeter and post back. Thx for everyone's help.

Yea its a stock alt. Beefed up was bench tested@ 240amps peak , idle was around 110amps at 800rpms. 2001 Silverado 5.3l 3door. Right now the only voltmeters I have in the truck are on the cap which I can't see , on the audio control epic center , and the one in the stock cluster. From what I...

I'm running 2 Skar Sk1500s strapped to 3 hds3 12s in 8cu ported box and 2 PPI power amps for mids. I'm still having light dimming and major voltage drops with a true 240amp alternator and a xs power 3400 battery. 5 farad cap. 0g everywhere and big 3. The electrical was the 1st thing I did when...

I should have been more clear my amps are all grounded to one point each with its own ground wire. My alt. Is grounded to the chassis. I'm going to ground head unit and post back. Thx for the input.

I recently installed a 240amp alternator to replace my stock one in a 2001 Silverado. I didn't have any alternator noise with the stock alternator but since installing the upgraded alt. I have been getting noise in my mids. All my amps are individual grounded properly. I am using the stock...

Do you have a link to a good converter I don't mind if I have to pay for the program?

My headunit won't read Flac files what do I have to convert it to without losing any quality?

I have come to the conclusion I have rattled something loose in my kenwood KDC x998. Anything over 135db the cd skips bad. The last time I had a system in a car worth a dam it was the late 90s early 00. So I have never had to worry about how good my audio files on a USB or any other device were...

I think that's what I'm going to do just use flash drives. I'm new to this where do you download your music from where I can get good files like Flac or Wav files

Also if it was electrical it would have done it the 1st couple days I played it loud. It started when I was seeing what these 12s had and hit that heavy note for a few secs the meter read 147 (it skipped) and ever since than and has been getting progressively worst.

2 runs of 0g from a xs 3400 to a 3farad cap. 240amp alt. I'm thinking it something in the h.u. It's getting worst by the min just came back from a ride and now anything over 134 it's skipping non stop . I have to lower the volume instantly to get any sound.
