[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8713153, member: 614752"] Haven't updated this build log in forever. Since the last pics here I did the LTO banks: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.caraudio.com/threads/lithium-titanate-lto-battery-bank-build.600099/[/URL] The "Shocker" branded amp went into my brother's Civic (we've done some work on that also I'll update that eventually). One of the broken ones was fixed and failed again quickly, the repair guys don't know how to make it work so I'll be trading in the working one and the broken one for some store credit from them. In the meantime I need more power so I picked up Soundigital 12K to try something different and so far I'm pretty impressed. Made a big number but I did push it into protect so obviously more testing needed. On the bright side I bought it with warranty and I did tell the shop precisely what I'm doing with it so if something goes south I expect he'll cover me. Also replaced my 1st generation Zed Leviathan with Focal FDP6.900. Stephen made me an offer I couldn't refuse on a couple of the Focals and he had been hyping up the technology he uses in them for a while now. For the size I'm very confident they're not regulated power supply as his Zed branded amps but not like source voltage is an issue for me. Focal is about what you'd expect from a Zed amp. Great sound, seems to make rated power, and very convenient crossover options. At some point after I'm happy with how the crossovers and gains are dialed in I'll turn it around and stash the wires.... that's rather my only complaint is that all the controls are on the terminal side. . Really I'd like to rebuild the entire back end, especially the janky 2x3 battery box but it's at least very solid and I'd need another guy here to life the battery bank out of there safely. Anyway, I know I can gain a little from taping around the subs and having someone push on the glass when I meter and all my subs need fresh recones to match (not sure if that'll gain but it's worth a shot). Really hoping to scrape a 160 out of this this year. [ATTACH type="full" alt="22738"]22738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="22739"]22739[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
