When it drags the voltage into the 12's, that means it's pulling so much power that it's completely saturated the alternator and it's taking the rest of what it needs from the battery. Too much of that and the battery will run dead while the car's still running, but unless you're listening to a test tone there will be enough breaks in between the huge draws to keep the battery charged. Like I said though, at that level it's unbearable to be in the car, I've only done that once and that's while I was standing outside the car filming the sub.

underhood wiring, you use 4awg or larger and add it next to the stock wiring, specifically it's
alternator + to battery +
battery - to ground
engine to ground

[quote=sr20de4evr] As for amps, the lowest prices for Cadence used to be at www.usacaraudio.com, but I have no idea what happened to that site

Try www.lightav.com and talk to Jerry(good guy) I believe there are Cadence amps and may even be an authorized dealer, and you may be able to negotiate price a bit too. If not, Sr20, whatta you think about that 2000 watt rms 4000 watt peak Audiobahn amp dog????

Found the Cadence ZRS-8 for $660.95. Good deal?

I might give it a shot if I ever need another Cadence

I got mine for $650 from a local shop, so I'd say that's not a very good deal.

It's so hard to find a dealer. I'll probably end up buying it from there unless a better dealer falls in my lap.

Should I do sealed or ported enclosure?

This thread is getting the most hits I've ever seen in a 30 minute spand.

Which reminds me: 100th Post!!

[sr20de4evr]

ported, 4cf tuned to say, 28hz

[threedd97]

I'm a great conversationalist. Congradulations on the 100th post. All thanks to my "redundant" thread .

Seriously though, thanks for everyone's help. Just waiting on a final piece of advice from sr20 on this setup:

XXX 15" Subwoofer
Cadence ZRS-8 Amplifier

Also am waiting on a link to a dealer of Cadence amps that have good deals. It can come from anyone though. I searched around on the site sr20 linked me to, but the forum only linked me to the site that is down.

[sr20de4evr]

That sounds like quite the beastly setup

as for caraudioforum, their server sucks, if you try again it will probably go

I need to goto bed, so if you could just tell me real quick what "cf" is short for, that would be awesome.

Lol, thanks, you should just rip of Sr20's entire signature

[sr20de4evr]

cubic feet

Haibane can give you the specs for his box when he finds this thread, It's somewhere around there, though it may be tuned a bit higher

I don't want that much money invested in my sound. Besides, the subwoofer is a different brand. And my head unit is going to be a Pioneer, not Alpine.
