I used 1/0 hyperflex everywhere in my install with a number of 90 degree + angles - its surprising how much more flexible the product is over competitors. Highly recommend it

PM'ed

pharel, that makes no sense. Anyway - Im a ways outside of Waco, but I have spent some time in Shades and Jacks over the last few weeks. Its pretty safe to say that they are both good good shops that can meet most needs. Jacks is going to have the biggest selection of audio gear of the two...

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I thought I would run it past you: Check out Ohio Generator: 1-330-875-6677 (im sure theyve got a website as well)and ask to speek to "Guss" They have been around for decades, have alot of experience in audio-related alts, and custom build a majority...

Haha yea, but I cant learn until I try it, right? Thats what im going to do. If I screw up, I fix whats broken and learn from it. Plus, my only hesitancy comes from the actual electrical modding. I can fab glass pillars, enclosures, boxes, etc without too much trouble. But I still remember...

Pioneer: Sorry, I sent you a PM - I should have mentioned something in the post. Great idea to combine the two - rotate the batter 180 degrees then extend with the bar + new terminals. I think that is exactly what I will do. Ill be honest, Ive never tried something like this before - any...

Thanks for the replies so far. The factory wiring is so precisely cut that the few inches difference that rotation creates puts the terminals out of reach. The problem is how short the factory wires are, and how they are cut to exactly meet the positive and negative terminals, not necessarily...

Hey guys, I promise I did some thread searching before posting, but I apologize in advance if Im beating a dead horse here. Not too long ago I purchased a Kinetik HC1800 (single battery, replacing a large stock battery) for my SQ install. I never got around to installing it until this...

Ive got to admit that I am anxiously awaiting the new BM. Traditional subs of every type and diameter saturate the market, and the technology (other than materials) has more or less plateaued. With the demand for shallow-mount subs growing, we have an opportunity to create the competition that...

A couple pages back, someone asked if anyone was running JL 600/4 on good comps. I can vouch for this combo - I actually "upgraded" from a pair of PG TI 400s to this pair of JL's. I can honestly say that the SQ has improved at low listening levels. But, I can also safely say that the PG...

Actually, for the Kinetik 1400, $200 isnt a bad price. There are some slightly better deals out there, like the "CarAudioDeals" storefront on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s.html?ie=UTF8&me=ANZ5B8ZZ261JD&brand=Kinetik), but your going to pay quite a bit for shipping. Likewise, there...

I am farily certain it has something to do with the amplifier - what it is, exactly, I am not sure. Possibly capacitors charging or discharging? I know that turn-on/off noise elimination is a marketing point in alot of brands of amplifiers, however.

Unfortunately, Ive already got the Kinetik 1800 en route. But, you guys are right - there is big difference in construction (shape/build, not necessarily internals) in these batteries. The big thing to me is getting something that is going to fit in factory bracket (or with some small mods)...

Thanks, Sic It looks like the Kinetic will be just what I needed for this install. I did take a look at the Shurikens again after your post - I didnt notice the small terminals first time around. Thanks for the heads up!

Great, thats exactly what I needed to know. Ive got an 1800 on its way (couldnt find any locally - the best we can do is an Optima yellow top). Thanks for everyone's responses.
