**** my balls

While listning to music the other day I noticed that I had seized one of my MTX Thunder XT693 6x9s solid. I figured I had simply melted the voice coil. Upon further inspection I noticed that the magnet had literaly split in half had was pinching the voice coil. How the hell did I manage that? Is...

Autocraft Titanium series. Its a nice battery. As you can see by my diogram, I'm going to do a slot ported box. Any suggestions on box size?

I have a good battery, so hopefully the big 3 will take care of this.

I think tomorrow I am going to go out and put the sub and amp back in my truck, this time wired properly, and see if my lights still dim after that. If so, I'll take some spare 4 guage I have laying sround and start on that big 3 upgrade.

Those prices are better and I wouldnt be agenst 2 alternators. I see that they also will upgrade the alternator you already have for less cash, so that always an option. I'm not even shure what amp I should be looking for, or even what my stock one is putting out. and where would I get the...

Thanks for the intel! I will deffinetly have to do the big 3 upgrade. I am 100% positive its a 1242D as I was reading it off the sub when I posted this. I honestly dont recall just how I had wired it, but I know that at the time, my intent was to wire it at 4 ohm. I have never had anything with...

What is the big 3? And I just ran the sub like that to test it, I'm running the MTX daily.

yes sir, 4 guage from the battery to a distribution block, then about 1ft of 8 guage to the amp. 1-1/2 ft 4 guage ground right to the cab frame. The wire from the battery has its own designated battery post as well. IDK what the gain was. I didnt mess with it too long because the sub was in a...

I cant afford that. Dude, I flip burgers at a wendy's to pay for gas and college. I guess I'll just start asking around. Who knows, I might be able to find someone who can get me one, or atleast the parts needed to mod my current one. How many amps I'm looking for this alternator to put out?.

DC power wants $340 for there cheapest alternator for my 350 V8. If thats about the average price, then this isnt going to happen. Thanks for the info man! This at least gives me some where to start.

did you try looking it up on you tube?

I recently traided $46 worth of home audio (a reciver and a 200 disc CD changer) for some new audio equipment. I got a 12" Alpine Type-R (SRW-1242D) and a Alpine V-Power 650w monoblock (MRP-M650). Both are in mint condition. I hooked them up in my truck and they work great. Unfortunetly, they...

I might have a chance to traid my surround sound system for some more audio for my truck. Craigslist ad: MTX subs and amp, Alpine Type R sub plus more I would be powering the subs with my 600w amp. I know it powers 2 12's nicely (borrowed a RF 12 from a friend a while back). If I got the 12...

Hey treasony, what h/u is that in ur vid? I seen one of those at best buy a while back but only briefly and I thought it was pretty sweet
