Well, Since Chipley I have decided to try to fnish off the stereo as far as buying equipment goes. I know I will be at least changing boxes all the way until Finals (wherever they are :D ) So here is the list of changes I have made thus far.
1. Bought another amp. Now I am running 2 ED NINe.1's to the 6 1/2's. That equals roughly 3000 watts.
2. Bouhgt a Kinetik 2400. Between the two amp there was just too much current draw for the stock charging system to keep up (surprise). On a hard burp I could drop the voltage to 10.0 without a problem. Just too much of a dip for me. Don't want to damage the amps or the car.
3. Had to get some extra fuse holders, fuses, and wire to properly install the battery.
4. Changed boxes again. Added more port area and tuned it a bit higher. Should also be an improvement.
5. Changed out decks. Upgraded from an Alpine CDE-9843 to a CDA-9856. Just a few more options.
All this equals ? dB's. I tried to get on a meter this past weekend but had some car troubles that prevented this. All set now though and my 1st test of the system will be a MECA event in Dothan this weekend with the real test coming at the double pointer in Troy. Stock 1 better watch out! :lol:
Picture is before the battry. I ordered it and will be here Wednesday.
