Merry Christmas, to all.

LOL. You'd be hard pressed to find an alternator that could come close to producing 500A under real world conditions if you were putting this in a fire truck or passenger bus. I'd also expect the "watts" rating on your battery bank is going to be overly optimistic. I don't expect any of...

Which amp and which speakers? What crossover are you using? You may be fine so long as you never push the volume too hard.

So this guy torpedoed the Wolfram brand name and now it's this ****? At least the burglary business was before he started his business.

Yes, but that kind of rubbing noise could also be from the coil/former being bent/damaged/deformed or even some debris found its way down into the gap. The tell for me is that if you press one side of the cone you say the noise goes away which leads me to believe the other side is pulling off...

Story time? I like the big sub channel. 400x4 isn't terribly appealing though.

But they absolutely do, and the wiggle room you have in the magnetic gap is only a few thousandths of an inch tolerance before you wind up in trouble. I personally wouldn't even bother trying to repair a stock speaker at all, but it's quite easy to misalign a coil when repairing/replacing a...

How have you verified that your alternator is making that much current under real world operating conditions in your vehicle?

That was my thought when I ordered some I liked the looks of a couple years back.

I would be interested to see if the issue isn't how he has determined voltage is staying so high trying to run a 3500W amp on factory charging system + only 1 additional battery. I'd consider HO alternator + another 100AH sized AGM would be more appropriate and probably another 100AH AGM on top...

I bought a few of their 3 way sets a few years back. At the 50% off price point you can't really go wrong with any of the stuff on their menu. Worth jumping on if you have any use for components or coaxials in the foreseeable future.

Precisely how much internal volume will your box have?

If you wanted a rock solid 3K full bridge that will last a decade buy MMatts. You're buying these other ones for 300$ so figure if they last a day after the warranty runs out you're ahead of the game. Brazil has been pretty good about building in fans but they've had issues with them being...

It's "Stetsom" and I've had good luck with the couple I ran in the past, though I haven't used one of theirs in probably 10 years or more so I can't vouch for the current state of the brand. That said, I'd consider any of these Brazilian full bridge amps (and the Chinese knockoffs being sold...

It's always leaned that direction. Not sure how cheap you can really get anything done these days. Deadening and custom mounting locations/prep is going to be expensive and/or time consuming, pretty much any DSP is going to MSRP 500$+ so you're probably 1500$ before buying an amp or driver...
