My camera seems to be sucking, but here's some anyways

[derickveliz2]

Cool!

How do you like it?

[_S7V7N_]

I haven't even gotten to crank it up much, it does look nice though, and it has quite a few tuning options.

[sqcomp]

I can't tel what source it is, but at least you're using the front end alignment track!

[_S7V7N_]

It's the Kenwood KDC - X794 i should be able to get it cranked up after work tonite. And yeah thanks to Derick for that test cd !

[sqcomp]

I'll give derick some more test track material to live on and pass to you guys...

I have a LOOOOOOOOT of material. IASCA, stereophile, EMMA, MECA, there are soooo many others.

[_S7V7N_]

I'd appreciate it alot, thanks sq and Derick, I just spent about half an hour moving some settings around, i need about 4 more hours to get it the way i want it, I'm going to have to get my butt in gear though and make some racks for the amps, the subs facing up just aren't doing it for me. I want to put an amp on each side of the trunk, and run a second battery to the amp pushing the subs and just leave the cap to the 4 channel pushing the mid's and hi's. Sq do you have any more pictures of your set-up on the side of the trunk where you have a battery i believe and a distro block ?

[_S7V7N_]

Hey Sq Where is your Low pass Filter set on your amp pushing the subs ?
And where does the low pass for the Mid's start at ?
And for my amp pushing the mid's and hi's would be on the full setting correct ? Not on HPF

[sqcomp]

my amp's LP filter is bypassed. It's running completely active off the deck.

my mid bass pushes down anywhere from 25 Hz all the way up to wherever I'm feeling that they should cross with the sub. As of now my ears are saying 25 Hz for the L8's are fine.

^he he he...do that with a regular mid or even dedicated mid bass. I'd like to hear your results. :p

My mids are crossed on the low end at 250 Hz

Yo Sq do your buds have a shop down here ? Around Orlando, I need to get a custom made box, or i'm going to have to just order a prefabbed one, I'm going to try to make it to the IASCA in Lakeland to try to get metered, I just wanna know what type of SPL i'm putting out, If i do a 138 - 142 , I'll piss myself.

The Ocean Center is located at
101 North Atlantic Avenue Daytona Beach, FL 32118

A lot of my fellow team members are going to be down there. You should stop by the Hybrid Audio camp and say hi to Scott Buwalda. You can tell him the his team chef sent you.

[_S7V7N_]

You know where their shop is ? if it's in Daytona i'm about 20 Minutes from there.

Sq what type of battery did you go with in the front ? And did you upgrade your alternator ? I'm really considering going with an Interstate battery, And getting a Kinetic for the trunk.

[sqcomp]

I have some updated battery pics for you if you'd like them...

I'm looking at my photobucket account right now and I just remembered that I redid my Alty to Batter Posi ground all nice and pretty last week. Those pics can be updated tonight.

I'm using one of Stinger's wham daddy batteries. I'd put up a pic right now but I really need to upload the new pics first...

You asked about a particular shop. All the Team Hybrids guys are going to be at the IASCA SBN Finals (except me), I'm prolly going to attend next year. Woof! Driving all the way from Portland, OR to Daytona, Florida and back makes me want to wretch. A car transport is expensive too! I'd probably want to catch the transport with Jim Becker and some of the other West Coast team memebers.

[_S7V7N_]

If you don't mind, Can you post them battery pictures in here ? What do you think about Kinetik ? As a primary car battery, Or should i go with something like an Interstate , With a Kinetik in the trunk ? Ohhhh and if you can post where the Positive on the alternator is, that would help me alot. Thanks for the info bro, i'm pretty much..there in March.

[sqcomp]

I'll post all the pics you'll need to run the Alternator posi to battery posi yourself. I just went the extra mile and loomed the initial part of the run to make it look factory and then techflexed the ending red to make it match the other upgraded wires I have going on.

There's NOTHING wrong with Kinetik. As a matter of fact, check the end of this video out...

I'm thinking that if Scott chooses to use Kinetik, it's good enough for us laymen...

[sqcomp]

Here are some of the battery pics I promised:











And the new "improved" back end of the car:

[_S7V7N_]

Is that 4 gauge wire you used ? I think i'll do my whole run in Loom, running it behind the engine cover won't heat that wire up too severely will it ? And about how much does that Stinger Battery run. I'm getting a guy at work to see how much i can get either a Kinetik or a Powermaster XS. We have Lesco distributing a few miles away from where i live, so i'm gonna see if he can pull some strings and possibly get it at cost.

On another note, How do you feel about a refurbished Interstate ? I can get one for like 20 bucks, but i wanna personally talk to the guy and tell him i want at least a year warranty, if it'll last at least that, it's worth the 20 bucks.
