Calling all owners who have put in large stereo's in their 3S.

Wow overkill but I love you... hahahahahaha.

Yeah, what I would like to do is have my batteries be in the rear and no battery under the hood. I will contact Ray @ Batcap and see what he recommends.

No homo right?

LOL I spoke with Ray at Batcap, he recommended two batcap 2000's....they are ordered and on the way.

Sweet. Was joking about the gay love lol. They are great bats but over the top pricing... but hey if you want good you pay good.

i think the 220 mechman is a teriffic idea. stereo's aren't the only thing that can sap power. running a massive fuel system can also be an electrical hog. overall, it's a great upgrade for more than just audo reasons.

Hey, do you remember when you wanted me to make some sub pods for 10's in the back seat side panels, well, when my Soarer is done... I'll be working on them and the bumper in unison, I will make a thread.

I think you has me confused with another member, I don't recall me wanting you to do that. Where you making them for yourself? Because I never planned on installing anything like that in my car.

Sorry man, IPD wanted me to. Perhaps I should have elaborated a little more.

[IPD]

yeah...that was me. i've always wondered if it would be possible--and i think it would be. 8" fits with just a small amount of modding--so 10" should be able to fit with some spacers & a new set of interior panels.

Just so people know. Cause many don't. If you are drawing more current continuously than your alt can supply then your battery will go flat. If you sub amp is pulling peak current draws bigger than your Alt supplies then the battery supplies all the extra current. If you are pulling more current with peaks than your battery can supply you should upgrade your battery to handle the demand. If your electrical system is drawing continuously up to 80% of your Alts supply then you will need to look at replacing your Alt. A minimum 20% is needed to recharge the battery. And lets be honest here, whos pulling 88+ amps or more continuously. Very few I bet.
