meter numbers

[BoomBoxStereo 10+ year member]

so i metered for the first time ever yesterday after...

-replacing my 4g power wiring with 1/0

-doing the big 3 with 1/0

at the dash: 140.6 sealed with a 47/48 hz test tone (tried various tones this was best)

at the foot: 142.6 sealed with a 47/48 hz test tone

just wanted to see how these numbers look. setup is two sa12's powered off 1100 watts, ported enclosure @ 31.5hz

i am installing a SAZ-2000D tomorrow. we're going to meter me again and compare the numbers. i'm assuming i'll see around a 3db increase

Probably be more like 1.5db increase. Efficiency declines as you produce more heat across the VC.

Decent numbers though.

I'm guessing 2, 3 is at the best most possible perfect conditions and you don't quite have the electrical yet, to support 2k, you are close though

Is it fairly large? You'll want to watch your voltage

my voltage before the big 3 and 1/0 was bouncing between 13.3 and 14.3 at full volume, engine idle, @ 45hz.. stock 160amp alt

yessir

Ive got two group 34s, a clamped 1400 rms in my girls car and the lowest i could get her voltage to drop was 13.8 and she charges at 14.4.

that's nice... when i install the 2k i'm not going to be pushing 2k constantly but i'm definitely going to check my voltage at the amp after the install is complete

Sounds good mayne, I wish there were more room under the hood for another batt.

You need at least 2 300A alts and 8 Group 31 batts for 2k:naughty:
