Placed an order for a 200A Excessive Amperage alternator today. Going to pick up an extra battery as well before it arrives.

Then it's time to upgrade the sub and make proper use of the DD M3C. Doubling the power on the front stage with the DD SS4A has made a nice improvement in the sound of my C5 components.

Sometimes the simple builds are the best. Looks really good.
Thanks a lot. I'll have to get some better pics and a few with the lights off in the day time.

I like how it came out, especially for the little amount of time and money it took.

Finally going to put some of the space I have to good use. Built a new box today for a ssa 15" icon. It's not done, I need to cut the hole for the sub and add a terminal cup.

I have work tomorrow but hope to get it bumpin by Sunday. Box is 4.4 net tuned to 30.5hz.

That's a lot of power & a big box for an icon.
Lol yeah, the power isn't being used, I just got tired of buying amps everytime I get new subs.

I adjust the gain to match the power the sub wants. It will never see close to the full power of the amp. Also I'll be wired at 2ohm. The specs on my box are very close to the "optimal" box plans you can download from ssa. I put their box into the program then changed it to fit my dimensions while trying to keep the tuning and dislacement similar.

You should see the look on peoples faces when I tell them I'm powering a single w6v3 with the DD m3c lol.

I'm waiting on my H/O and I need to add a couple of batteries before I really start to play with the power

One thing I did want to mention is the box has a 1" lip all the way around on the face of it. My plan is to make a removable grill using a wood frame and speaker grill cloth. I'm shooting for a press fit but I'll probably add magnets to ensure it doesn't pop off when I don't want it to.

Some pictures of the new box with the sub installed, as well as with the amp rack visible.

I keep the floor panel locked up so the amps are only accessible by key.

Hey man, nice set up... where did you find a H/O alt for this? I need one for mine as well .....
Thanks. Excessive Amperage is making me a 200A alternator. That was the largest drop in fit alt he could make for my car.

Had some time to test out the new sub. It sounds great and the low tuning really smoothed out the peak I was having.

Much flatter response and better low end extension.
