Here's some pics of the power delivery goods that are going into my car. I went with the monster cable over stinger. These look like they'll do pretty well.


the battery terminals



sorry..a bit blurry

 

power ring terminals zero gauge







fuse block 0 guage in puts out 4 or 8 gauge

 

Kicker zr600 amp and interconnect


Powerflex 2 Power cable and powerflex ground...20' and 5' respectively both 0 guage

 

lucky you! looks nice man. btw i love the old ZR amp, where did you find that?

 

Looks good looks good, takes pics after you make them all pretty in ur car

 

a guy here in town was selling it on craigslist. Occasionally you'll see one pop up on ebay though. This even had the birth certificate, 890 wats at 4 ohms bridged, so it will be nice!

 

Those are nice amps I ran some for many years.

 

That will work very nicely. Let us know how it sounds.

 

5' of ground wire =

Make sure you check the recommendations of that amp for ground wire length...most are not to exceed 18"

 

Lol, no i'm not using that much, but that's the lengths they were sold in...i was buying through a special employee accomodation program...no custom lengths at 60% off i'm not complaining. but it's perfect because i have to do the big 3 upgrade. It's going to slowly go into the car though, i'm also swapping out the interior. It's moving along nicely though!

 

Pulling up an old thread head cause i'm still working on all this crap. I've got so much crap that needs to go in my car it's stupid.

These are the Arc speakers i bought from Metal Max..thanks! Wired together like that because i did a quick addition of them.

I have these Eclipse SC8362, I'm not sure what i'm going to do with them yet. I may put them in the rear for a full 5.1 effect or i may sell them



Substantial magnet on it. Much larger than the Arc but the Arc tweeter definitely sounds much better that the Eclipse. Bass extension i'm not really sure about didn't run them on a "real amp to be sure yet.

 

Now obviously need something to actually get the power to these so this is the cabling i'm using It's Monstercable 402XLN Extreme cable I have 100ft of this stuff

 

Nice stuff man, stop bein lazy and get in your car!

 

Ok I don't like monster cable, why do the wires have to be so hard to distinguish between + and -??? Or are these ones labeled?

 

And now for my latest toy that just arrived today and will be powering the speakers. Some pics have the film covering the glass some don't.



New Helix Competition A4. Helix is a division of Brax who makes some pretty good amps. 4x85 rms @ 13.8 and apparently these are a bit underrated. There's every chance in the world i may actually blow the Arc speakers i'm putting in but we'll see. I certainly hope not.

 

yeah i am a bit lazy at the moment and they are labeled, the wiring itself has a red or black stripe on it. you just can't see it in that picture

 

Cool Cool, how much did that amp set you back?? Sweet stuff man.

 

More than i wanted to spend but I bit the bullet, didn't want to buy a cheap amp again and then buy what i really wanted later.

 

sweet looking amp

i want a set of those Arc ACS...but they're sold out

 

Funny I asked Don about the ACS today too. Oh well... but keep your head up. There will be something just as good as soon as CES is through.

 

nice selection. The eclipses are actually vifa made woofers. They sound alright. The tweeter protection sucks as itll cut the entrie comp set if their overpowered, which is cool, i guess, but nah it sucks.

Good selection of products cant wait to hear the reviews. Gl on the buildup.

 

yeah i asked him last night about them...but ah well, i have a few other sets in mind

 

Oh yah? What else is in mind? I'm somewhat interested in getting something too.

 

Morel Dotech MKII 6 and the DLS Nobelium 6.2 2-way's

 

Ahhh coulda just asked me for the Helix. You do know that I have Helix Brax and even Genesis right sir?

 

I dont like Monster, but for entirely diferent reasons...

 

Hit the lottery Gordon? Why not just splurge on the Dyns?

 

oh man, that doesn't sound too pleasing...

they sounded awesome, and i guess the price my friend told me (well the one he paid at least) was a little low...

 

hitting the lottery would be pretty pleasing to me right now.

 

wanna split the jackpot if you win?

 

No. But I think Id have to buy you an Eclipse deck to prove how sh!tty that Kenwood really was

 

haha fair enough

 

He bought Nobeliums? Doesnt sound right to me...

 

Yes ! Definately, hell see the light.

 

hey Mr My Pecker makes twins, youve got a pm

 

Hater, Ill call you shortly

 

i think it should say "my pecker maDe twins!"

but nah, he bought the Morel set, the Nobeliums were in another car at the shop.

 

Ill keep it MAKE, cause its for rent.

Ill check on the prices, but the Nobeliums are still in production, not available yet. I have the Nobelium 10s on their way, but no comps yet available.

 

haha guess he was bs-ing to me then. i called him up asking where he said he heard the nobeliums...or anything DLS for that matter...and he said there's a car at the shop with a set.

 

Call Pinny at DLS on Monday, Im sure hell get a laugh at that...
