  • please tell me your not using those caps. caps are for show. those batteries are plenty of show pluse with the 18's DAMN cait wait to see it all done

  • @ROESE8 the caps were given away in a contest i held a while back,i had them on a smaller setup i ran b4 i went big

  • but my main problem is i want to power both amps with one 0 gauge wire thats already run with a distributiion block or that cap, so what the maxx current can safly run through the 0 gauge wire, its from knukonceptz kollossus series. just want to avoid running more 0 gauge from front to back, thanks man any extra tips are much appreciated.

  • @mikewalston caps are a huge waste of money i would advise you to stay away and try to make a spot for a battery...as for your wiring you will get much better results running a second 0 gauge wire,trust me taking shortcuts will hurt you in the long run

  • @jonmanch3st3r thanks bro.

  • Sup jon i need your help.i got eight brutus 12" subs comin and two hifonics brz2100 amps powering them. i have a 300amp alternator and a kinetik 2400 batt under hood. all 0 gauge run throughout. my problem is i have no room for another battery in back but could fit a tsunami 10 farad capacitor back there the system wont be full blast much anyways,except quick demos.

  • Pretty batteries indeed, will you be charging them with solar power? Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

  • @Lanny615 solar power would never keep up with my demands,but i would love it for home use

  • @jonmanch3st3r its not about keeping up, its about sitting in the sunlight and getting a full cycle charge.

  • hey man i have a question. i recently ordered a aq 2200d and a aq hdc315 and i have a 90 alt and need a second battery. how do you like the Kinetik Battery? what size Kinetik would you suggest

  • looks totally safe

  • heres a tip for stripping zero gauge. when you slit it all the way around, slice it along the strands as hard as you can. you cant cut any of the wires and it can be peeled off in like 2 seconds

  • @kyle3420 thanx for the tip

  • @DragonWagon6 the caps were for a smaller system i had and they were useless with the 18s they couldent hold enuff power..batteries are the way to go man

  • sketchyyy hahaha cant believe you did that

  • @aszxdfcvghbnjk what are you talking about?

  • do u still have the caps ???

  • @uneasy31 no they were given away in the contest that i had

  • Hey what's up!!

    I'm stuck in how to wire my kinetik 1800 I just. Bough il be using it as my 2nd battery in my trunk to power my amps. So my ? Is should I run my positive from the battery under my hood to my kinetik or should I just run it straight my alternator to the kinetik. "Stock alternator , all 0g rf wire" and of course il be fusing my lines. Any help will be very appreciated thanks

  • @wichovr6 its all up to you my firend,i personally ran a secong charge line i dont like going off of the battery post for a charge line....good luck in which ever way you choose

  • dieser Witz nur so gut, bis Sie zu 164 erhalten, ist etwas

  • where the hell you get that Fi t-shirt from ...ive been looking all over for one and cant find one every site i check takes me to Kicker clothing or some other site

  • what kind of wire are you using man 100% copper

  • @xfucktheworld831 its called q power frome ebay

  • @jonmanch3st3r thanks man keep up the good vids

  • is that a bottle of budlight? lol

  • @MrKdub318 hell yea it is my man haha

  • Hi, can a kinetik 600 battery be connected to a kinetik 1200 battery or do they have to be at the same power level?

  • @bigjv2005 good question,they are the same power level there both 12 volt batterys that can be linked together just 1 can store a bigger supply of energy thats all....good luck

  • u sold them caps ??????

  • @mattw298 i actually gave them away about 7 months ago i had a contest here on youtube and the winner got them

  • it beets spending it on a gril friend.

  • what type of solder do you use?

  • @knotdrummer88 acid core,grabbed it from auto zone

  • Just spent all day hookin up my 2 kinetik 2400s. I had to drill like 6 terminals and solder like 20. I was usin the vise grips just like you. brought back flashbacks

  • From the looks of those batteries, your Tahoe will be 20,000 lbs as well. :)

  • @depravedone lol,ya they setup i have now added 700 lbs to my tahoe...but it makes it ride so smothe with the weight back there.....it made my brakes horrible tho so i put drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and its perfect now

  • so man i have a question, what battery do you think i would be able to fit under the hood? like kinetik hc 1400 2000? i drive a 2001 bravada, blazer/jimmy clone basically, thanks for the help

  • @scottyBoland go on ebay and search car audio battery...measure ur battery and then find out which kinetik is the same size..easy as that

  • @jonmanch3st3r Thanks man!

  • Knukonceptz! KCA 1/0 Ultra Flex Power wire?

  • @zZZzzzSnooze2nd i just run good old q power from ebay

  • imi tryin to learn how to do everything myself as far as car audio goes, how did you learn everything you know?

  • @knotdrummer88 i self taught myslef all that i kno,if i dont know something i google it and read up on it or try to find a video here on youtube...and if both of those dont work then i use my channel and ask my subscribers to help me out if i dont know the answer

  • @jonmanch3st3r thats awsome man, so how long would you say it took for to learn enough to install a system entirely by yourself?

  • @knotdrummer88 a basic setup i could do no problem since i was like 17,but something like this im still learning all the ins and outs of it there is so many tricks to the trade

  • @jonmanch3st3r yeah man, well im seventeen now, i can install everything just i dont know much about headunits and i have trouble running power wire through the firewall

  • @knotdrummer88 why do you have to run the power for the head unit threw the fire wall i dont get it it should be right there in the wiring harness

  • @jonmanch3st3r not a powerwire for the headunit but for amplifiers in the back, i mean like i have trouble with running power wires through the firewall and i have trouble installing headunits, my bad

  • @knotdrummer88 gotcha the easy way is to run the power wire thru where the steering wheel comes thru,or you could drill a hole and use a rubber gromit to stop any wind or smells from coming thru,as 4 the head unit if you get the wiring harness from bestbuy that fits ur car u just plug it in and then all the wires are color coated u cant mess up

  • @jonmanch3st3r awsomwe thanks man, that helps!

  • Just wanted to know why you didnt show the soldering? also how u do it?

  • @timw421 if you search my video called 20,000 watt tahoe big 3 upgrade it has me soldering the terminals on....i have like 3 vids with me soldering so i figured i didnt need a fourth,let me kno if u have any questions after watching the vid

  • You wish you were steve meade.

  • damn, thats not to bad im workin a project with 2 18" solo x's

  • i really wanna know how much you paid for this complete set up

  • @kingstevi13 just my 5 batteries was 1250 alone,im into my setup a shit ton but its all worth it...i be going to my first db drag on august first and see what this thing can do

  • hey were are you getting your power wire?

  • @4R34LSUPAMAN ebay just type in 0 gauge wire

  • @dirtjumper420 i dunno how u see that it looks diff but both wires are 0 gauge man

  • Steve Meade Wannabe youre even callin ur truck a Hoe just like him, be original man!!!!

  • @el5253771 lmao your fuckin retarded,your the steve meade wanna be...what do you think steve is the first guy to call a tahoe just a hoe????every tahoe owner calls it that.....atleast i can afford to be a wanna be what kind of system dio you have there buddy?

  • @jonmanch3st3r lets see, i dont use fosgate but i do use kicker, and lemme say, 2 L7's kick pretty good in a honda prelude, 15" of course, i got a video of the honda in my page, i was selling it but i held back, to much love 4 da car u know? but anyways, i dont feel like arguing whose got wut, ur system sounds nice, congrats, my system sounds nice, congrats, but u gotta respect SMD, that man has balls to put 4 18's in his truck, plus, dont u see how much Fosgate loves him? hes pretty ranked up!

  • @el5253771 well i dont kno what you expect me to say when you come onto my videos talking shit...im minding my own business over here with my build....and if you paid attention before you made ignorant comments you would see that every door speaker in my truck is kicker

  • that is soooo many damn batteries but its cool man, kinetiks are good.

  • solder the rings to the wire for the best connection!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheCustomcarz2007 thats wut i did man

  • cool vids keep it up just subcribed looking forward to more videos

  • to my fellow bass heads out there.. homedepot, lowes, and menards sell these cable cutters these look like lobster claws. hence the nickname lobster cutters. these are made by a company called greenlee. it's agreen - black  package. please use the right tool for the right job. be careful this IS a dangerous hobby

  • Nice bro. I'm subscribing, your videos are very interesting and I'm a basshead too! Peace out!

  • your work is clean bro. i sub`ed, keep us all posted

  • how come you just didnt do bus bars much easier and faster too

  • already had the wire and connectors laying around so i used them up....they both get the job done so i didnt see the point in spending more cash on materials u kno

  • @jonmanch3st3r yea thats true still looks good so when are you going to fill in all those holes in your subwoofer box with those carzy ass btl looking foward to your build

  • next woofer will be here thursday,im pumped to hear wut 2 sounds like....then im saveing up for my quad alt kit after that 2200 bucks

  • ha ha.. reminds me of when i was wiring my hc2400's i had to drill the holes too but tried using my hand (good call on the pliers) is snagged and i ran the bit up my hand... all in a days work i guess

  • u do dangerous things like me drilling a ring terminal almost hitting urseld with the bit cutting wire with a razor knife i love it keep up the great shit man

  • lol gotta save money where i can man,shit aint cheap

  • absolutely i know the feeling if i didnt do everything myself nothing would get done thats why my first fiberglass door panels have taken 9 plus moths ist all good i just see other people like me i dont have the money like most people to pay some one to build shit im proud of doing it my self i see that you are where are u from

  • im from fall river ma.....ir u dont kno where that is its near providence and boston

  • i do i had a grappling tournament in ri and in jersey i just noticed tha mass tude and one of my best friends who lives in ny still sounds like that it just reminded me oh him he made a real dumb decision and is locked up

  • ya lifes tuff man u cant go anywhere w/o gettin into trouble thats why my life is work gym and car audio thats it

  • how many amps are you going to run

  • 4 bass amps and between 2 or 3 for the mids and high's

  • nice i have just that one 500w alpine runnin the bass and the mids and highs runnin off da radio belive it or not =p

  • ya man i had a setup like that in my old car and it sounded great...im just addicted and its never enuff ill always want more!!!

  • i tried this once didnt work out haha tore the connector in two lol

  • a bro where do you get those wires and gold clip like that for the battery i'm trying to find some of them appreciate if you tell thanks

  • nice, glad to see you making more process.

  • should start coming along now quick

  • remember to sand down the connection attached to the wire you always want the metal underneath polish

  • yesir already done....thanx for the heads up

  • looking awesome bro next ya should use aluminum buss bars bro but hell what ya got is still sick bro looking forword to the finish of the build

  • ya i thought about it and didnt feel the need to,maybe in the future when the build is done and i get bored

  • @jonmanch3st3r

    ya for sure it's still kickin ass tho bro so 8 of them i had 6 16V kinetik when i ran my DD9515 on 2k ther good batts ask Erik for a lvl 1 sponsor he prob hook ya up

  • deff man thanks ill look into it

  • ARE YOU GETTING HELP FROM SMD?

  • i dont know how u mean?but i have no sponsers all funds come from myself.

  • gr8 vid m8

  • nice work man

  • thanx bro...tryin my best to keep the work clean

  • Hell yea! Looking like it's coming along real nice! That's gonna be a nice 12V supply for the amps when you get the rest of the batteries in. I can't wait to see updates as it comes together. 5*s for nice clean work.

  • thanx man,just trying to do it all right the first time...soon there should be almost nothing left for people to say bad...unless there just hatin on the build.hows ur new box holdin out?

  • how much did you pay for each of the kinetics ?

  • @Rkeely hey there between 189 an 249

  • i paid 250 shipped for the 2000 series....but there are all diff sizes that range all the way up to 500 per battery

  • Damn for a first time audio guy(I think)your doing this setup right,i guess after lots of research and trial and error you should be able to have a nice clean,badass system,not somebody with two kicker cvr's and a 1000w kicker amp that thinks they have a good setup.Can't wait to see more progress and to see the final setup.shit going to bang something crazy

  • thanx man,i made a couple rookie mistakes at the start but im making sure to do my research now and trying to do it all rite.thanx for watchin the build and keep the comments comin man i wanna kno wut every1s opinion is

  • Yea my opinion is that you got a great setup and the finish build is going fucking sick.people need to learn that there's more to a system than subs,a box,and an amp,if you want a good high quality system you need to put time,effort,and money not just some wal mart subs in a prefab box with a shit amp. 5* all the way.keep the bulid going

  • ya its deff not as easy as people think,i deff didnt think it would be this hard,but im happy i started its fun as hell...soon ill have 2 woofers in with the battery bank that should be hittin pretty good

  • Yea idont really have a system right now except for one off brand,piece of shit 10".my dream system is two Fi Btl's but I'm not for sure if I want Btl's or the Bl's or something more for daily use not spl,cuz I don't think I'll be doing comps and shit just driving around.would you reccomend the Btl's for daily use.I would like your input

  • yes i would deff,not the 18s but deff the 15s or 12s...there great all around subs

  • Damn 18's were the size I wanted.I kno Fi makes 18's for daily use.Oh well .and I agree Fi is an all around good sub,from what I've seen.actually the worst I've ever seen an Fi fuck up was when yours cought fire.that was fucked up.but now your moving up.can't wait to see more vids

  • ya the 18s are great for the lows but not so much for the quick punch bass like in rock...i love my 18 tho and listen to it poundin all day every day

  • I can't wait till you finish 5*s that shits gonna bang

  • 2nd btl getting ordered this friday!!!

  • Cant wait bro, shits gonna slam hella hard..

  • after all this time and money it better!!!! lol its ok tho its alot of fun and i have learnt alot from the build...

  • ughh tattoo or build more into the system in a car im more than likely not gunna keep for long...hmm haha, owell man sick work look clean keep up the good work

  • system man!!!can always take it out and put it in another whip....thanx for commenting

  • lol itd be the same system as now i just gave a buddy my old wiring kid,he wanted a system so bad in his car so i hooked him up and gave him my old shit, ha, so same system, possiably new TV headunit

  • thats good shit man,sux having no beat tho itll be real soon when u get sick of it and re-build...wut kind of head unit u looking into?

  • i have a shitty after market one right now in the car but a decent fareighenheight in dash dvd and cd mp3 player idk its legit, i got it for $100

  • there ya go man just keep ur eyes open for them deals,cant go wrong with that

  • Nice man, coming together nicely. 5/5

  • Nice! I cant wait to get further along in my build.

  • time and money.....stick with it man

  • finaly working nice set up man watchin this makes me want to save up a lil more money quicker an upgrade my set up

  • go for it man,it sux throwin a shit ton of money into my setup but a few more grang and itll be done and beatin like no1 else around here so its all worth it......cant give up now
