I have changed my battery yet or even started on the Big 3 so wouldnt rush to do it ;)

Lol any system always costs more than you thought ;)

I hadnt actually considered a London meet but next time I'll try to get my lazy @rse up there...this is going to be my first meet with SCN since a RR day back in October 2007 :rolleyes::rolleyes:

That's a relief, after spending all that hard earned (whoo homebase!!) cash, then realising i need to spend around another £200 to upgrade the system further, i almost died then!

You know you wanna come to the meet :D, going to be the 7th of february as 2nd week is lovey day

You know you wanna get on the Fi train!
definately go for the K1 poverty, gorgeous looking car. What colour, Candy white? :D

K1's gotta be white.

I wouldnt upgrade the batt until you have spare cash lying around. Just wait till your standard one is drained lol.

Soundwave you have got a bigger battery and alternator than me and big will though. Our alternators tiny lol.

Damn! How much juice is that being given!?
aren't those rated at 2.5Kwrms (can't remember exactly)

yeah deffo have a high rating. And even with 2.5k on tap they need more to get them really moving. Apparently not the most efficient of subs, and when you finally give them enough power you can smell the coils, but they seem to be able to handle it.

very nice stuff. Well My car is going into the audio shop tomorrow and they've told me (after already looking at it and getting the cable through the bulkhead) that to keep carpet bulge to a minimum and stockness looking :)D) they're going to take out all the seats and run it down that way. Sounds like fun for them! But they said at a tiny bit more cost with this done, they'll get absolutely everything ready so i can go home bassin' straight after :D
P.S poverty is that dartford meety on tomorrow or not i'm not clued up on it

Haha....not enough juice tbh, its eating about 1100watts rms and recommend 2kw rms, sounds immense though at 1100watts,

would like to give it more power but would have to uprate alternator, battery power cable ect.....

Yeppo, all working, all I can say is that it's gotta be heard to be believed, pretty damn loud is all i can say!
Cookie Jar seems to be it's favourite track, when it hits the lowest note, the steering wheel is just vibrating like hell and the keys are dancing!

Lol sounds awesome :)

Tell you a track to try...

Lil Wayne - "Let the Beat Build"

Oh and "A Milli"

Both on the Carter III album.

It's something of a boomer all the way through but those are stand out tracks for me :)
