The rear mount is not a problem. But the front ones are a little tricky. I try to slide them to the front side of the camper shell the muches I can, and I use a long ratchet to secure the mounts.

I was clipping the amp, and it was showing crazy numbers 🔈🔊🔉

I didn't have enough time to play with the different modes on the BHG meter. When I get back from work. I will try it. Thanks for the advice 👍

Thanks a lot, my friend. I think that I can trust the bhg meter when I test at full tilt. On a real competition, we clamped one of the 17k amplifiers with the termlab, and it clamped 22k. I like the AMM-1 it reacts quickly but is only good for 15k. I have 2 of the bhg meters . When I get back from work, I want to connect the second one on the other amplifier.

@@956Bassaddict - I would use the BHG Watt Meter, to ✔️ the impedance curve of your system. Like write down in your note book. Start with your volume down, like around only doing a 140 Db @ 38Hz. Then use test tones, starting @ 10Hz or so, going 1 freq. @ a time, up to 50, 60, 70, 80Hz, wherever you want. Write down the impedance of each freq. This will show you what freq. your amp can make the most power= @ the Lowest total impedance, & also @ what freq. makes the least power= the Highest total impedance. Make sure subsonic filters or Low pass filters are not limiting the freq. That you want to test, as this can change the impedance read vs the actual power that can be made. Since you have a 6th order, it should have 2 impedance peaks, with 3 low valleys. The peaks are where your enclosure is actually tuned @.

The controversy was solved a couple months ago. The meters were not in the same mode. It's been proven they will read the same when showing Apparent Power. (and if the SMD doesn't glitch out and show a crazy high number)

I can ask my friend Roy. He is the person who makes them.

@956Bassaddict ok can you that would be awesome

@@ErnestoDiaz-uy1hz I'm about to leave to go to work. Let me see what I can do when I get back

@@956Bassaddict thank you

I my personal opinion the AMM-1 is more accurate on music and more responsive up to 15k. But, the BHG meter can be an affordable alternative for testing on burps for spl porpuse.

@tuffguy40- The SMD Amm-1 has problems reading accurately, when near/passed its maximum rated limits. Example: 15k @ 1 ohm, 7,500 @ 2 ohms, 3,750 @ 4 ohms, & 1,875 @ 8 ohms. But then again, most products would probably freak out when pushed past their limits.

When both meters are in the same mode, they will read the same power. The AMM-1 does seem to jump up to a crazy high number when the amp is pushed hard. I don't think anybody has figured out why it does that yet. IIRC the SMD meter will read correctly when it's in a different mode, such as showing the volts and amps.

@@JasonWW2000 -Please read my previous message, about why/when the SMD Amm-1 freaks out/reads way off, thank you.

@@JasonWW2000 - Did you watch till 13 minute's & 27 second's into this video, with the Bass Head Garage Watt Meter showing 17,775 Watts @ 1.1 ohms vs SMD Amm-1 showing 25K= (feaks out after 14 to 15k), on a test tone, slow rolled burp!? Just before that he had the volume down a little, & the BHG Watt Meter showed 13,100 Watts vs SMD Amm-1 reading 13,700 Watts= just under its maximum limitations were reached= just before it would freakout/become wildly inaccurate.

That's very close. I think it is a good alternative for testing on burps 👍

@@956Bassaddict got mine mounted on the dash it's a massive help having it available

Did you have the BHG meter showing the corrected output using the Power Factor or was it showing Apparent Power?

That build is insane 👍🔉🔊🔈

Unfortunately, I don't have the termlab. I liked to buy the termlab in the future to get a better comparison. On a competition, we clamped one of the amplifiers with the termlab, and I clamped 22k on a single amp at full tilt

@elcaminosupersport- This was a great test, as most people thought that the BHG Watt Meter could not read higher than 1,500 watts. So this video showed it sure can= 17,775 watts @ the end of this video. Go to the you tube channel: Subs&Paws. They show testing the BHG Watt Meter on a smaller amp. Its more accurate in my opinion= The BHG METER. I don't like false/high power # readings. Im all about consistency.

@@dblovah5156 not yet

I had two rca leads. I run the rca's to connect two amps, and I use the amps with the rca's to give a signal to the other two amps using a single rca cable from the out put of the amps. I leave the settings on the amps I little bit higher than I usually run them because you're going to be using the eq bass to control the amps. I'm using a 10-inch port 👍

@@956Bassaddict I tried using the outputs of some smart. 5s to feed each other and had bad ground noise smh. So you still have to gain match them each individually ?

@Basshertz94 Sorry, I just saw your message. You might need an rca distribution block. They don't have to be perfectly matched. Try to set them a little bit higher on the clipping point. But sometimes, it is hard to find the clipping point on those amplifiers. If you can find the clipping point on one of your amps, try to see what voltage is to gaing match the rest of your amps at the same voltage.

@@956Bassaddict All good thanks a lot as always bro. I’ve got a distro from down4sound coming

Thanks brother 👍 I never have the intention of making these truck fast, but having a little extra power is always good. I might do something in the future to add some power to help out with the extra weight of the wheels and tires.

@@956Bassaddict - I have never had huge rims. Second thought, a cam really only gives more midrange, & upper Rpm power= won't help initial take off, as a bigger cam will lower your low end tq., & power from idle to 2k, or 2,500 Rpm depending on the cam choice. Forgive me, im used to putting a high stall speed tq. Converter= a 4,000 Rpm in my Last truck build😉. Im into performance/street/drag setups, lowered vehicles, with lightweight wheels, shorter tires, & 4:10 gears! I remember my friend said the Biggest change he did after changing to big heavy wheel/tire setup on his truck, was getting 4:88 gears put in, & then reprogramming the speedometer to correct it. Only thing is if its 4 wheel drive, you have to get, and install 2 gear sets.

@evilinside5984 I think that the best upgrade on that truck will be gears. I still have the original 3:08 gears with the 10 speed transmission. I bought the truck brand new in 2019, and I lift the truck with only 5k milles, and I put the 26x14 on 37s. I noticed a big difference in power. I tried to find some ⚙️ for the truck, but nothing was available. I haven't checked lately. I will be locking online. I might be able to find gears now. I think a 3:73 will be perfect

@@956Bassaddict - Im very good @ figuring out gear ratios, with different tire heights. I will look up the specs., and see what i come up with. Just for sh*ts & giggles😉😆

I think if you wire the amp to 0.5, the amp should make enough power to move your subs 👍🔈🔉

Yup, I wired the amp at .25 on that video. I wire the crescendos at .5 for burps and at 2 ohms for demos

@@956Bassaddict I figured that's what was going on. .25 normally shuts them down, usually resulting in fire and smoke. I rebuild these amplifiers all day for the company as well as out of warranty repair work. I try my best to explain to customers on how to keep their amplifiers in great working condition, from voltage, to impedance, to clipping and excessive clipping which I should have mentioned first. I'm actually glad to see that it continued to work after it shut down a few times. This is really the importance of having a great electrical to begin with.💯💯

Thanks 👍 🔊🔉🔈

Thanks, my friend. Thanks for your help. I think that I can go up on the volume 1 notch to max out the amps, but I was afraid to damage the amplifiers. 👍🔈🔉🔊

@@956Bassaddict - Since your Amm-1 can't read accurately above 15k @ 1 ohm, i think? If you were to use a clamp meter around 1 of your 4 power inputs, on 1 of your Bc 17ks, to show your amp draw. This would be a more safe, and accurate way to monitor how close you are to maxing your amplifier out. From what i have heard, as long as you keep the amp draw under 2000 amps, @15 volts, on your Bc 17k, and you have enough electrical, you should be okay. So that would be under 500 amps per 1 amp input. So to be extra safe, maybe creep up on the volume until you reach only 400 amps per input. To be even safer, @ mid volume, find out which Bc 17k pulls the highest amperage, and use that Bc 17k, to creep up to the 400 amps per amp input. Before any of this, i would see how much amperage, you pulled, doing your 163.75Db, @ 37Hz. What volume was that, when you did that 163.75Db?

@evilinside5984 That is a great idea, my friend 👍🔈🔉🔊

I'm pretty sure that a sweep will get very close to the peak frequency. But in my personal opinion, I think when you increase the wattage to the subs, the peak will change 👍

A sweep track can be useful to people who don't have any idea of where the peak freq., might be. But most people use freq. sweeps the wrong way. By doing them @ to high of a volume, which can damage your equipment. Also freq. sweeps can show a false peak, and can also show a different peak every time= they can be very inconsistent. If you were to use a freq. sweep, i would do them approx. @ half volume, like if your max you ever turn your volume to is 40, for a freq. sweep, just turn the volume to 20. This should give you a general idea, unless your 1st test shows a peak @ 35Hz, the 2cnd test shows 40Hz, and 3rd test shows 45Hz. Then @ least you will know your systems sweet spot is 35 to 45Hz. Then you can use that information, to then use test tones from ( 30 to 50Hz ) 5Hz below, and 5Hz above those 3 different peaks. Now when testing the individual test tones, do what the guy in this video did= increase your volume to approx. 70%, and play all test tones for the same duration= Like if you play the 1st test tone for 3 seconds then pause it, do that for every freq., you test, then write the score down. Once you find the freq. with the highest score, go back to that freq., and crank it up, write the score down, then do the same thing 1Hz Lower, and 1Hz higher, to see if the peak changed @ max volume, cause it often can, but usually only by 1Hz either way. Remember to always have everything the same, when testing, if you want consistent results, only ever changing 1 thing @ a time, to see if it helps, or hurts, the score. Hope this help's?

@@evilinside5984 or just a longer sweep track so the sensor has enough time to read each frequency at its max spl as it goes to the next.

@@sparco317 - Yes, longer sweep tracks. The sweeps that go from 10 or 20Hz and up, have blown up lots of equipment. I don't recomend those @ all. Using a Sweep that was from 40 to 50Hz, and took 30 to 40 seconds to play a 10Hz span, would be much better, and give more consistant results, vs a wide band sweep, that was only on each freq., for a few tenths of a second.

I know exactly what you mean friend. I usually put it all way up. But because I was having problems with the meter, I didn't do it. I can give it a try. I think the score can be better 👍🔉🔊

@@956Bassaddict - I could tell that you got flustered a little, when the meter wouldn't connect with the laptop, it was hot out, and the meter kept shutting off, and you had to hurry around real fast, with the phone in your hand while recording. You did much better than i would have done. I get flustered easily when things don't go as planned, and i can't function. Then i just start cussing, and throwing things😁😆😂. You my friend, are much more calmer, than i. You did a great job, all things considered. Also, when you re-meter, with your SPL meter way high up in the kick, try 36, 37, and 38Hz, @ about 70% volume, and hold each tone, for about 3 seconds each time, to let the meter read the pressure more accurately/consistantely. Then after you find out which freq. Was loudest, play that freq., full out!
