[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8811826, member: 587645"] OK, here's the list of things I completed today: got the brake fixed Cleaned out the trunk, fixed the newly found leaking trunk seal, drained the inch of water in my spare tire well, and drilled more drainage holes. Put in one of the 5100's Did some tuning on the system as a whole Did some voltage testing at idle Charging voltage is 14.05v warm right now. Doing hard playing I was getting down to 14v flat and at a soft clip I was getting down to 13.95v. As soon as I moved on to a lower volume song, voltage popped back up to 14.03 or so. Sub wasnt even warm and the stage speakers can definitely take more. Lithium is the way to go. I'm pulling close to 4000w at full tilt(smart 5 at 4 ohm and the Audison APF8.9 in 6ch mode 4x75w plus 2x260w) and my factory alternator is 90a. I'm going to try and get a clamp meter to measure how much power I'm pulling from the bank, but I've got 3 power wires comming off of it and that's a bit difficult to measure. I will officially be driving the car again Monday. Still need to do more work on the car, but the longer it sits the more problems that seem to pop up so we are back to a driving work in progress. Matt Edit: fixed some numbers. Math is hard. [/QUOTE]
