do you know what I drive? do you know the cars i've had? do you know anything about me? guess not. just //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif i have a civic with ELD, and guess what i rarely have it kick off my alt. i get a good chunk of amperage out of my alt at idle. i bassrace and during my bassrace runs i dont usually drop below 13.5. so yes i do know what ELDs do, and yes i have a civic with one, so yeah i might know a thing or 2 about them.Did you read my links? Do you know what Honda ELDs do? Guess not.
so you only did a 128 with a single 15? IMO you should be doing much better even with your horrible grounds. hell another guy on here did a little bit better with some horrible amps/subs and horrid grounds. there has got to be something else.i hit a 128.7 which isn't much with the current set up. I'm going to make a double baffled box that is 3.5 cubes and tuned closer to 27 hertz. because with my car it jumps 5 hertz (forget the terminology but i think it starts with a d lol) so it would be a solid 32 hertz with the jump. and the obsidian hits hard. and sounds great on the lows. with the single baffle its "pinging" like no other.
manti5 : what kinda modding u talking about? i have 2/0 welding cable big 3 already done. 4 wag running through my car. 4 channel loc already spliced in. so all i could see being need to be done would be maybe a different wire set up d=for hooking up the alt. but id get one made for my car so there shouldn't be an issue. right? or am i totally missing it?
I'll weigh in here...I don't have a huge setup (search me on the build logs and you will see what I have) but I did the Big 3 with "0" Knu wire and created additional ground points on both sides of the engine block and the chassis on both sides near the front struts. I have 2 Kinetik batts under the hood too. 1800's. I still get some dimming if I really push the system to the limit, which I rarely do. I could upgrade my 160A alt to 230A but with only 1K Watts RMS, I'm not really all that interested.
Now, you may ask why I went through all the Big 3 for such a small system (when compared to the SPL crazies here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif) and the reason is that I am always thinkin' about goin' larger...no reason not to be prepared.
Bro, I've been thinkin' about it for 2+ years now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
my amps can't take anything bigger than a 4 gauge. i have a distro block and the ground is 4 gauge. solid ground. a lot of it is how small my box is. its barely 2.6 cubes way too small. imma make a bigger one with my tax return.
yeah i have 4 gauge running to the distro. i think the distro can take 0/1 . if i do that i should change my ground to 0/1?/ or would i be okay with the 4 awg ground cuz there would be 4 wag running from the distro to the amps?
