I appreciate the replies! I'm actually feeding a 1500W and an 800W with a 4G power wire. The voltage drops severely on heavy bass notes, enough to send that cap into protect when it drops under 11V, which I assumed the amps would probably do anyway without the cap. I'd rather the cap go into...

I guess I probably worded my question like an idiot. I'm not looking to make more power, I'm just upgrading my 4 AWG wire with 1/0 and was curious what the max wattage a 12'-15' run of quality tinned 1/0 OFC could handle. As for the cap, I'm just using it for the voltage readout, lol. Not...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't tinned OFC just as good as regular OFC, only with better corrosion resistance? The cabling I bought definitely wasn't cheap compared to CCA. Either way, my current 4G wire runs to a distro block, then 4G to both amps. The new plan was to leave the wiring after...

I admittedly **** at trying to remember Ohm's Law and am trying to figure some things out. I'm replacing my 4G power/ground in my 2019 Mazda 3 sedan. I'm running a 1500.1 Memphis monoblock and an 800.1 monoblock to three speakers, wired to 1 ohm. My 4G experiences massive voltage drops, even...

I doubled up with some inexpensive Kilmat in my trunk cargo area and lid. Sounds like my lid is filled with concrete now. It's shockingly quiet from the outside now and noticeably quieter in the cab... when the subs aren't kicking like mad, lol.

My neighbor just put two of those newer DB 8's in his RAM with a 5k monoblock. It sounds insane. You'd never guess they were 8's.

Thanks for the feedback! The ultimate goal is going to be building a custom enclosure for my 2 Skar EVL 12's (or possibly some Sundowns) and adding a 3k amp to power them. I'll definitely be upgrading all wiring to 1/0 at that point along with a spare battery and alternator upgrade. For now, I...

I've got the 1/0 OFC wires to do my Big 3 on a 2019 Mazda 3 sedan with a stock 130A alternator and new battery. As it sits now, I'm getting some pretty severe voltage drops, dropping below 11V at full-tilt, which is causing my cap/amps to go into protect. I'm running 4G OFC power/ground to my...

Thanks for the feedback. It was a long shot but there will definitely be much more powerful subs in the trunk, so clearing it out isn't an option. I have to admit, though, for the price, the L7S isn't too shabby.

Oh well, it was fun to think about it. I guess I'll be putting a massive port in the rear deck and sell the Kicker when that time comes. Thanks for the feedback.

Title says it all. I'm planning to build a custom enclosure in my '19 Mazda 3 sedan for 2 12's and will have a spare 10" L7S that I wouldn't mind keeping. However, I'd ditch the factory box and replace my factory Bose subwoofer in the rear deck and modify it to fit the L7S. No infinite baffle...

Yep, only the highs are a bit elevated so I can at least still sort of hear the cabin speakers! The subs are Skar EVL-12's which have a really decent low-end bass response for the price but is pretty *meh* around 100Hz. The Solobaric really seems to hammer those higher frequencies which is why I...

I've got the premium version and it comes with a customizable EQ (graphic or parametric) plus a limiter. Since I'm running a LOC, the changes are made globally and since I'm still using my factory Bose system, the bass overpowers all the cabin speakers, lol, so it's essentially like having an EQ...

If I were running custom aftermarket components like I did 20 years ago, I'd definitely have one in the loop. But now I run everything through the "infotainment" system in my car and I found that Poweramp EQ works surprisingly well. With Spotify, at least.

I know amps have come a loooooong way since the old school ones I used to use with much better crossovers, low pass filters, etc., but I still just really like the extra control of an active crossover. It took everything I had in my soul to NOT buy a physical EQ for my system and just use an app...

Holy hell... I didn't even know those existed! Thank you!

Oh, hell, I think you're right. I saw the 300E or whatever it was on my stock alt and I think it is 160A or somewhere close to that. I am extremely limited on space, however, since I drive this car for work and tote my kids to ballgames and stuff. Fitting another battery into the mix would be a...

Weird question, I know, but after blowing 5 brand new Clarion crossovers, which were my absolute favorites 20 years ago, I discovered that my RCA's are sending about 8.5VAC through the lines. A really cool Clarion rep helped me figure it out because I couldn't figure out why I kept frying my...

So I have a unique question. Well, hell, it may not be that unique these days, but it's got me a little stumped. Is anyone successfully moderating frequencies on a single crossover that is running two different sub amps in two different boxes? Hear me out on this. I know it's stupid, but...

My amp board is already wired with 4G power and grounds, so shouldn't be too much of a chore. Just need to get a beefier power/ground to the cap. I just wasn't sure if the size difference from the main power/ground and the 4G wires on the amp board would cause problems. I'd really rather not...

Heya everyone. Been lurking the forums for a while, first time poster. Built some crazy systems back in the early 2000s but got out of the game when my first kid was born. Now I have four kids, lol. My oldest is 18 and we installed a budget Skar system in his car and now I'm back in basshead...

Hi all, I'm new here so forgive me if I miss any prerequisite info for asking advice. I used to run some heavy hitting systems years ago, but then I had kids, lol, and my stereos had to take a back seat so that my kiddos could sit in a backseat. Last year I installed a budget 1500W Skar system...
