I think after much reading. Too much really, I think I'm going after the psi platform 3 12". This may sound like a dumb question. But will the psi 3 out perform my pioneers in a box built to specs and on same power

My thoughts exactly. Well I'll give SPL a little more thought. I know the rule is to have an amp that over powers the subs a little so you can get a good clean signal but I was thinking of getting something with a little more power so as not stress them like I did my pioneers. Am I going in the...

Whoops psi not PPI lol

I took some time to research your suggestions. When I first looked up SPL audio I thought you were ducking with me. I did find the SPL audio you had intended. I'm not sure that I'm educated enough to order a custom sub. Tantric seems to have a lot of satisfied customers but the only place I...

I'm using a hifonics 2400.1. I know a lot of people don't like them but it works.

As of Friday, after my amp narrowly escaped death at the hands of moron incapable using a cup holder properly, I decided it need a new home in the back of the van. I also decided that I decided I'd retune the amp. Not really sure why just felt like it. So I went about moving everything to the...

You shouldn't try to over power a sound. Its not that it can't be done but it really could be a drag on sq. Welcome to Sound Deadener Showdown | Sound Deadener Showdown this site has helped me a lot in understanding proper sound deadening.

I guess I just meant that they are in different environments.

When two batteries are linked together with out isolations they in essence become one. No let's say for fun one battery has gone bad. It can only hold half charge. Without isolation, with the vehicle off, it will draw on the good battery until they are equal. The same thing would happen if you...

Run another 0 gauge from negative on battery 1 to battery to battery 2. Isolate battery 2 and you should be fine. I may be wrong so someone else should weigh in. I say isolate because battery 1 is so far from battery 2

The ground could be the problem. Your blazer body is attached to the frame via rubber mounts. Of course there is metal to metal contact but it would be safer to ground to the frame. How are your batteries hooked up. Mine a parallel and I ground my amp directly to the battery. All 0 gauge.

My system is in my beater/commuter/carpool van that sees roughly 50k a year. I typical buy a cheap commuter car every 2-3 years so when I needed an alt I went cheap and had mine rebuilt to 200a. Down time was an issue as well but I just couldn't see buying a purpose built alternator for it...

My personal experience with Hifonics leads me believe that they'd suffice to hold you over. That amp test page he posted showed they could do rated and mine has seen some abuse. I'm by no means an expert but I've searched a lot and Hifonics seems to be one of the better budget amps. My last bit...

Possibly your alternator is going. My f350 would dim heavily when using my MM plow. Replaced the alternator and problem solved.

Sorry to revive an old thread but the 3002d4 is a 1000 watt RMS sub. I have two in a big van and they're super loud. I had a box built by double 07. They're running at 4 ohm off Brutus 2400.1, the CEA compliant version. The box is 2.5^3@35hz. These are my first 1k subs so I can't compare much...
