Minor note, but when running multiple batteries, you should have your main positive draw from your first battery, and your negative draw from your last battery. Evens out the distribution.
could you elaborate on this some more
In some places this is right however in car audio it don't matter much yes you get better efficiency but only 5% more efficient. So you only gain maybe .3-.8 of a volt
@@fxgamer-11yt I’m confused, I thought you ran the batteries in parallel
love coming back to the early build gems, I know the younger bassheads can always benefit from em. thanks as always Parker!
Not sure if you’ve done this or listed anything about it yet or not . But it would be cool to see a lay out of all the tools and little accessories you recommend for a clean self install . I’m sure some people are tired of tape and loose wires like me lol
andrew kelley really good idea man!!
I wish this guy lived near me i need some bass heads near me.
goofy goober Dude no joke, I live in a smaller town in Virginia and there’s nobody here
Shawn Patricio Ou yeah for sure that would be super nice but all anyone here has is kicker and I don’t wanna down grade
I feel ya
I feel ya there is no bassheads near me either
@@GeorgeMasonOliver shoot what part of Virginia? I'm in Richmond!!
You should get two American bass xmaxxx 12's in that box with that amp.
Dude I would love to
I'm surprised they took that much being elites,I had 2 of the older dx svc 12s on a kicker zx1500.1 doing 143.4 for a year before 1 blew and then i got the v2 tnt 15s and absolutely loved the tnt 15s that had the vented motor and the black basket the 800 1600 versions but jeep frame broke and they wouldnt fit in the civic but now I'm running a elevation audio dx1500.1 and 2 md sounds 12s and its definitely doing more than before with the other 12s.
I had the ab vfl4480.1 on the tnt15s and it wasnt even close to enough power.
I think I'm gonna get the newer xfls when I get a new alt for my civic and run my t2001bd rockford on 2 xfl12s.
I would get some DC audio lvl5 subs
Right on bro!! Nice setup..can’t wait to see the mids and highs upgrade. Keep up the good work!
Instablaster.
It's starting to get SERIOUS that Taramps is no joke I was a little worried about them American Bass subs I can't wait to see what you get to replace them with .(Please no Sundown )My guy Parker wit another short but sweet video and like I always say someone needs to hurry up and sponsor this guy 👍🏾 #TeamParker
Yeah I can’t wait to see what I get either! Haha
Add 2 more 12 and should be fine with that amp
I'm running skar4500rp and 3 skar 12evls in a sealed box on 3 soundquest audio batteries
@@bassmansl9596 not really these amps catch fire being ran under stable ohm louds
@@fxgamer-11yt get u 4 2ohms 12,s and run coils at 4ohms should be stable at 1 ohms load
@@bassmansl9596 that would work but finding a single coil sub
@@fxgamer-11yt says who?
Okay now I'm waiting for the video for the mids and highs and soon you keep going this route you going to have to brace your roof. Man did y'all see the way that windshield wiper was jumping off that rear glass? I like it my man keep doing what you doing two thumbs up!!!
Good video parker like the upgrades you done glad your happy with your 12k I have had my Taramps 12k now a month on my 4 12s and love it
Are you still happy with the 12k?
@@greasemunkeyyy yes still happy with my Taramps MD12k planning on adding a 2nd Taramps MD12k on 4 sundown audio X15s now
BASSHEAD FANATIC I just bought a .5 ohm model from my buddy time to bottom out my subs lol
I believe all amps that size have fans, the Brazilian ones are louder because it's cheaper
Turn your subsonic filter or the high pass in your case up a lil pass the box tuning. You got plenty of power on tap to compensate the lost an prevent premature woofer failure.
Dam kid. 👍 serious lows
Yessir!!
Hey Parker, I can finally buy some amps for my big build. I had a question Why do you prefer the 2 bass 8k you have versus 2 MD12k’s ? Is there a difference in sq
i was kinda shocked this didnt do more on the meter . my suv is a lil bigger with no deadener or cabin mods and has 1 15'' Rockville destroyer on a pioneer amp , stock alt , 1 run of 1/0 nvx wire , DIY lithium battery and does 147.8db in the summer , this winter i was able to hit 148.5db with a ton of snow and ice on my roof lol ! my scores are also DB drag legal style so its all windows up and meter on windshield , if i do kick score with my drivers window cracked its about .4db higher score . must be the way i have my box or somethin . will be interesting to see the gains as you go and swap stuff out , if you need any help or tips feel free to ask . didnt you do a higher score with the dark audio nko's on less power ?
Yes I did 149 with the Dark audios! But the Jeep was a good deal smaller cabin and my box was tuned to 45 hz where as now I have it tuned to 35 hz. I also had the door open in the Jeep and in the sequoia I had door closed and window up.
When I get more time I’ll try out different things to see what we can do but for now it sounds good and I’m happy with it so don’t really care about the numbers
@@ParkerTheBasshead o yea i totally forgot that was a different vehicle , thought it was the same so i was like how did that happen lol . tuning and vehicle changes make sense .
Those alphas are beast. I have 3
Taramps are no joke! Good stuff man!
Very good work bro you did and nice system she's getting down keep on bassing
Thanks man!!
Hell ya man. Don’t be hasty quality over quantity. Look forward to more vids. You don’t have to stuff a vehicle with subs just do it right and as long as it makes you happy.
Damn i am mega impressed subs seem to be chilling on that power also didn't you do 150DB with these previously? and i would guess these would do 148-150DB peak or did you not show us the peak number you got yet which would make sense cause yeah and lastly finally you got the steel etc. dancing on your car well done. love the vids keep them coming.
he is not going to get 150db because of the sub box and subs my x-10's doing 150+db and it is in a sedan not a suv :D lol
I did 149 in the Jeep which was a smaller cabin and the box tuned to 45 hz.
@@ParkerTheBasshead ahh i see yeah when you get everything sorted electricly then we most likely will see what's really loud still 146DB is more then enough for now, and if you do upgrade the subs later on then shits gonna be banging even more, i'm excited for you man and this motivates me for my build.
Another great video from the man parker himself
Jacob - I wish I lived near you. I would so help you vinyl or fiberglass your box. Or Rhino spray It . So you would have that awesome look. With all that equipment you just bought. I would go with black and white. Since your batteries are black and your amp is black and white . Then I would just get black and white sleeves for your power and negative cables . Then put in some white LEDs around the amp and the batteries for show. - 😇😇
Nicely done as always bro.
Thank you sir!
Nice. Wiring looks good too. What's the highest you mattered?
That's awesome Parker! Glad to see you got an amp you can grow with. I can't wait to see what subs you end up going with for your final build. I'm sticking with HCCAs for now. I'm seriously contemplating Fi BTL4 for my next build tho. I'm building my lithium now. So far I have 2 banks of 40ah XS Power LTO, and I'm getting 2 banks more. Great video man
where can I purchase fi btl subs
@@jamesmcgrizzle1512 ficaraudio.com/product/btl-4-series/
any other style fi sub like dust cap color red blue whichever,other series i only seen a couple so far
@@jamesmcgrizzle1512 they have several on the homepage
"Whats going guys" nuthn much just watchn your vid..👍
Was that full tilt? I thought it would have done more then a little over 6k at 1.3
No I need alt and lithium before I go full tilt
I'm following bro!
I was going to say I have an 8 k and at 1.3 ohms was putting out if I remember correctly a little over 5,000 so I definitely think that 12K has a little more in it I'm actually about to go up to the 12K myself was considering just going with another 8K but just plan on running 3:18 instead of 4 due to space and the 12K wired at .67 should be just about perfect... Oh and by the way your box needs a few more layers on that baffle LMAO
Hi Parker.why you changed md12K to bass 8k?it is kind of upgrade or md12k is not so good enough?i am going to buy md12 and md8k luckily the same price both of them abd need your advise on that.thanks
The MD12k is just overkill for what I needed. The Bass 8k is smaller, which gives me enough room for two of them when I had my 6 12s
For 150 doller subs thats amazing
Hey Parker, I just got a demo from one of my teammates the other day and he too has the taramps 12k but he is running lithium and has a good alt so he is pushing the ever living hell out of 4 skar zvx 15's in a 6th order walled off and I mean it will take your breathe away LITERALLY!!! I am currently working on upgrading my system from 4 SA15'S to 4 X15D2'S and I have two soundqubed q-4500.1's at half ohm each with a CES 300amp alt, XS power D3400 under hood and a d3100 out back with a juice box 20ah lithium battery recently added... I cannot wait to swap out my subs I've been staring at these X15'S for over 6mos now but with my SA's I'm able to do 153 on music all day long so I'm trying to join that 155+ club with the upgrade
Heck yeah man!! I can’t wait to get and alt and go lithium
Hey Parker. Your the only person ive seen yet to show the live ohm load. Is that called reactive? I appreciate that.
How’s that HC2400 hold up? I’ve seen some good reviews on it, I might get one for my RP2000.1
It’s been good so far!
Alotta lithium
Them bargain ABs are nasty!!! Love the videos bro! I have to throw Brand X out there again!! Can’t wait to see what comes next! 6k on some steal frame cheap Os damn have to love it!!! Hope to see you at some shows and get a demo!
dam lol nice setup currently working on mine. Im happy that I got my alt in my amps run alot cooler tho even tho I havnt messed with my gains after I had lowered them from the max clean output that it would do. Im just waiting on my sub box for my 15 and my volt meter that plugs into the cig lighter that way I can see how it does when Im driving around.
The MD series amps suck on bass there made for mid range and high but they can run bass speakers but I promise you if you where to get a bass 12k or hd 12k that the bass will shine way more
Why 3 batteries???jus getting into stereo or shall i say more detailed and for 2 subs 12k u need 3 batteries??How much lithium would u need im thinking on going that even it cost more I hear good things about them over batteries
You should go with 15" subs and kiss that rearview good bye bro , I did and the difference is intense, great video I love the set up great job keep it up
I definitely might at some point
18s - skar zvx
Or do 2 x series from sundown
why is a 12K clipping with 6400 watts at 1.3ohms? I would expects 8K+? Is this voltage drop related?
Guys , I’ve just bought a Taramps MD 8000.1. It does 8000 w at 1ohm and about 5100 at 2 ohms. I have 2 American Bass XFLs 2x2 DVC. I should be getting a bit more then 2500rms if I wire both of them at 2ohm. For everyone in this comments column that has experience with these brands or Parker himself, Do you think this will be a good set up?? It’s my first time with either ones of these brands, I’ve had good sound systems in my car but I’m betting on these brands by watching this channel, thanks to anyone that can give me some info....👍
gear good start young man stay at it !!!!
Where did you get your batteries?
Facebook market place
Hey Parker do you ever plan on adding a rubber cover to the positive 6 spot terminals? I was going to replace my under the hood battery terminals to 6 spot terminals similar to yours but I don't like the idea of having the positive terminal exposed. Have you come across any solutions to this? I was looking at Versimold moldable rubber to possibly make a custom cover. Anyways would like to hear your opinion on the subject. Thanks. Cheers mate.
American Bass Elite Are Booming 🔥
Im grabbing two HD American bass 12s with the HD 5000.1 hopefully that gets loud enough.
I got godfather 12v2s in the trunk on a md8000. Think the bass might actually kill me
I have the he 15's they beast .Parker that amp requires a bigger battery bank the Manuel has the info in it my md3000 requires 150amp hour so I definitely know that's not enough battery for it.
@@brothergarysampsonjr67 yes I grabbed an xs power d3400 battery I'm looking into a bigger alt to, instead of using the stock one, I cant wait I heard the maps get hot so probably going to build a fan box to boot the amp on top of.
@@wesleyleite6090 no videos. Only pics. I am currently recone one. I had it done but i fucked it up. So gotta try again. Full set up is 5 cubes tuned 36hz 2 ab godfather 12v2 ,md8k, audio control overdrive plus, ces 80ah, iraggi 320, rockford 400.4 on 4 skar tx 6x9s and taramps 400x4 on a pair of skar components. All 2/0 skyhigh ofc. Bunch of smd tooling. Besides the recone situation im happy with it all. I let someone with pro tools tune my shit and he had my bass boost almost all the way up.one Sub lasted half a song. But it saved the other one while blowing
X series sundown
Do 2 db4 in that box parker
My question is how do you set the cross over too I always ran half bridge amplifiers and I want to buy a MD 8000.1 let me know I will appreciate it thanks and great videos
I got a mechman 240 for my explorer red its perfect no matter what i throw at it its keeping up so far
What kind of subs do you have on it
With running different batteries do they fight each other especially with the one under the hood or do you have an isolator?
All the batteries are AGMs and have the same testing voltage so I haven’t had any issues
When wired in series its a definite no no but in parallel it will work.
They will still charge/discharge each other in parallel, which is not ideal, especially if one, the weaker, drains faster the stronger battery must put out more current to make up. You really want batteries that are the same age, type and rating for optimum performance. But again in parallel it will work.
Think of it like 4 people carrying a casket, 3 are linebackers and 1 is the kicker. The linebackers will likely be making up for the weak ass kicker, if u had 4 line men everyone would do equal work.
Did you like the massive hippo 12??
Nice setup
When you go lithium are you going to run an isolator between the agm and lithium or full agm delete?
What are the specs of the box you're currently using in this video?
Nice set up Brother. Shit is slamming 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
I just got RP-1200.1D amp and EVL-12 today in the mail. Do you think I should get an upgraded battery. My car is a Ford Fusion Hybrid SE 2017. My car has a stock small battery underneath the hood for electronics I think and another stock battery in the left side of my trunk. I’m a college student so this will be fine for me for now. What battery should I get for this amp to replace the stock battery in the trunk and your new system is coming along well one day I can get that loud after school is over
I have been watching you on UA-cam and like what I see, but wondering what you did with other amp you had, and if you still have it and do you want to sell it
Already sold it
Okay I know that amp was hitting hard, but what was the price of you tramps amp if you don't mind telling me.
Arthur Newkirk the MD12k was like $620. I got it on sale
@@ParkerTheBasshead cool
I wonder what that G2 sub you have would do on that 12K amp, that would probably be beautiful to watch. That's if you still got that sub.
I had it on the 12k in the video I made of it
Parker Dacchille I did not realize that LOL my bad
If you have to box closer to the gate it will bang harder
Hey what's up bro do you have those wired at 1ohm I just got my hands on some and trying to see if I should wire them to 1 or 2ohm on a 1ohm stable AMP I had audiopipe bd2 and blew them only on 1800 rms amp any advice please and thanks 👊🏾😎✌🏾
GETTIN DOWN BRO!!!
Parker I ordered 2 1222 xfl to run on that 3200 zeus mono block how should I wire them to get the best bass since there dual 2ohm on a 1 channel amp let me know asap I call Amazon back to change my order to the 1244 xfls to get 1ohm don't no if I should keep the 1222 or just get the 1244
If it was me I would get the 1244 and wire them to 1 ohm 💪🏻
Ok
Which american bass are those I'm shopping for some I have a 3200 zeus that I'm going to push with them
Just American Bass elites
@@ParkerTheBasshead do u think that zeus will push them parker
gilbert hammett definitely man. The Elites aren’t crazy beefy subs. Just made well
What made you go with the taramps amplifier?
Does the md 12000 get super hot hella fast? I want to get four but run 5k on each amp i hopes they wont get hella hot i want to be able to jam for a while
Well looks like i might of found the right guy i need to talk with u anout lto6.0 lithium ion battery I know nothing about it but I want to run it with my system I currently have three skar evl D4 12 running on a 3000.1 taramp amp i have stock alternator I need some guidance on setting up everything I Kearney will be doing my Big 3 upgrade before I add the battery waiting on sky high wire to see me my wire I ordered
does this amp have a sub sonic filter or does it have the high low pass..if so..what is your high pass set too?..thx
I didn't know this was out figured UA-cam would have showed me when I open it up
Yo Bigg doggy ....
Love all your info ....my first build a banging success thanks I have the hardest hitting shitt in town that scar 2000 rocks the hood I'm moving up ... would like ur true opinion on the amp you're running in the video or do you know of a better amp to put some serious 12 like the death bounce have you ever tried those I haven't seen a video with you demonstrating then I like to see if you haven't even laying around you want to get rid of I love to take it experiment like you I think that's cool s*** I like what you do much love my props and for my first system unbelievable Bass the neighbors are hating me bro thank you
Can u send specs on that box to with a 212 she got in the video let's just hitting hard bro almost as hard as mine thank you
When you switch to lithium, let me know If you want to sell those kinetik batteries I need one like that for my system... 7600 watts
Almost did better than the dual 15s elites.
Buddy of mine runs 4 northstars g31 and a ces 250 for a taramps 15k dips in low 12s
Parker what size is that box and the port
5 ft^3 and the port is the ski high 8” port. I forget how long it is
I love the video also🖤keep it up
This is awesome 😎
whats the spl reading with new amp?? if you dont know for sure, any guesses?
Well in the video it did 146.8 or something like that with the box times to 35 hz. Could get louder with some adjustments but I like how it more musical for the time being
@@ParkerTheBasshead very nice man. I just noticed your baffle is like five layers thick, maybe 6 with the inset. Very well built. Anyways keep doing what you doing buddy I'm going to keep following you on your journey. You've been bit by the bass-bug... There's no such thing as enough.
Why do you need all those batteries and stuff I've ran 2 12 JL audio w6s and 2 15 SoloBaric 15s and a 2k watt Fosgate amp off just 1 battery and factory alternator? Just curious??
The amp I am using is a true 12k rms amp and so can pull over 1000amps of current. If I had just one battery it would get exhausted very quickly and voltage would drop to dangerous levels.
Basically more batteries = more reserve power
@@ParkerTheBasshead I see, keep up the content bro I like your videos.
Thanks man!
Kinetic Or Xs Power which one is better.
How are the alpha cell 4.0 batteries
Have worked great for me so far
I have a friend that can get me them for 65 a battery and I didnt know if they would hold for audio I have a stetsom 10.5k do you think I'd need one or two I have a 200amp alt
What is the sq like of the taramp compared to the audiopipe and skar amps?
In my opinion it is just as good as both.
@@ParkerTheBasshead thank you for the feedback much appreciated
Being mounted on that box is not good for the circuit board i would def move that amp
Was wondering if you knew about taramps on wish if you knew if anybody that bought from there and if they are real thanks
The bass will mess the amp up being mounted on the speaker box
Wat u think og the HD or the Godfathers
Haven’t tried either but would love to at some point!
I believe the HD series are better since they're a bit more musical
Man could you give me the model of the bass decibel reader that you use so I could order one thank you
Big boy amp
I really can't believed thats those subs survived on a 12k Taramps at full power,but,such is life,it supposed to bring the coil blow away,I didn't saw to much movement of the speaker for a 12k amp,I did not agreed,thanks!
No where near full power. Need alt and lithium first.
Why so many layers on top?
Haha just how the guy I bought if from built it
Damn why was your impedance jumping from 1 ohm to like 5 or 6? And under 1k on a 12k amp?
All systems do that, it’s never a constant ohm with music.. Reactive load always changes..
What kind of 0gauge are you using
Mostly Sky High OFC but I also have some Stinger and GP
You should really mount the amp somewhere else besides the box
these subs cant handle 6k each whats the deal sounds great but qhy a 12k I feel like I'm missing something here on 2 12s on 12k
What's your voltage like?
Hit up Brand X electrical on facebook for a bad ass alternator u wont be disappointed. Do the diode trick and charge to 15.2v-15.5v so when u get your lithuim u will be set. A yinglong 80ah bank should do good on a big boy alternator.
What are your settings on the amp? My buddy has the md8k and says the bass don't sound right.
priticalson keep Bass boost off. I have a MD8k and it does perfect...no issues.
Parker, what would you recommend as a battery setup for a 5000w amplifier? I have 1 run of positive alt to the positive on my front battery a 4 gauge and a 0g run to the back battery and engine block to ground and battery to ground, I'm still dropping to 11v with a 200 amp alt
Jaywalkin I know I’m not Parker but may be able to help. I have a crescendo bass cleff 6k amplifier. I personally run northstar group 31. They are expensive. But with two linked together running 1/0 welding cable. Big three with the same wire ,and a mechman 370 alternator. Lowest I drop is 13.5 full tilt. Up front is a lead acid group 31. I will be changing it to north star soon also.
@@adrianmack4753 alright, unfortunately I cant upgrade my alternator because I have a 2013 tarus sho and the bcm will go whacky with more output amperage, but with that being said I'll look into a better battery setup I have a agm up front and a cheap autozone group 31 in the back, under full tilt I drop to about 11.2 might get a couple of agm batteries in the back and throw another 0g run from the front battery and grounds, maybe wire up a 2nd alt as charge for the back battery
Jaywalkin I understand. A alternator would help a bunch since it would actually be able to charge the batteries while playing music. You can use a stock alternator and still charge the batteries. But you would have to let it charge back up over time.
So much love ty so so much you don't even no....
You got 12k now....Need to get you some zvx 15s
Haha you aren’t wrong!
Some skar zvx 15s would love that amp and they can handle every bit of power that amp will send it too 😁😁😁 and it'll get loud
Or zvx 12s
A+
How do u like the taramps amps? Been looking into getting a 3k but how is the reliability
Jay got a md1800 on amazon and it put out less power than my hifonics 1100 and would go into protect within 10 minutes of playing. Returned it and got a soundigital 2500 in a trade and am much happier with the soundigital. Maybe I just got a bad amp but I didn’t feel like exchanging it for another amp and taking the same risk
They are cheap amps...you get what you pay for. Plus you need a very good electrical system to power them..
@@UA-camsucks.. yea I have 2 batteries and a 200amp alternator with the big 3 done to each battery im not worried about my electrical
That should be ok for a 3k
@@UA-camsucks.. have you had good experience with taramps?
