      Yeah we talked about the build he's doing for a bit. I know he's constantly busy which is why I never rush him. I know he will get it done as soon as he can.

      He was waiting to get the bypass for the pcm in and test it. Everything is fine and tested so it's on it's way to NC

  2. Finally back state side. Man it feels good to be home.

  4. Excited about my packages coming in tomorrow

  5. well couldn't sleep last night so no point in going to bed.

  6. Order from Droppinhz was just made. There goes a couple of paychecks lol

  7. Singer figured out what was wrong with the alt....nothing lol although he did have to flash it. It wins something with the Pam so we are bypassing that.

  8. Got the install done on the Fusion. Now its time to order wire and that amp for my car.

  9. Had an awesome time at the TDH show and got to meet a lot of cool people.

  10. One more day then its off to VA for the TDH show

      I got my voltage regulator in today but I have to hold off working on it till next week due to finals and work.

  11. Had the alt in and working, went for a drive to my friends house and battery light came on. Alt wasnt charging anymore. Dammit almost had it...

  12. I got accepted to UNCW, looks like I need to start looking for apartments soon.

      Thanks guys. The only thing im gonna miss is having somewhere to build boxes haha.

  13. Once the alt is in it will be time to order more wire and a new HU. Also looking into eq's to put in under the HU.

    1. Ahmed Johnson

      Was your factory alt externally regulated?

    2. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      No it was internally regulated.

    3. Ahmed Johnson

      Ahmed Johnson

      Did you ever play your system with the new alt before the regulator and get a reading? I read somewhere that sometimes the cars comp would make the alt climb in the 15's when full tilt. Of course you don't want that, I was just trying to see if it happened with you.

  14. Got in touch with Singer and he will be sending me the part for my alt.

      Yeah I realize he's constantly busy. I just got an email from him this morning at 3 am.... burning that late night oil. He is sending me a new voltage regulator.

  16. Alt came in today but it looks like it has a bad voltage regulator and wont charge.

      Smaller belt and new tensioner are a must.. People think tensioners last the life of the car and they don't..a few belt changes and they need to get replaced

    3. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      Yeah I went and got two different size belts one thats 1/2" smaller and one thats 1'' smaller and kept the one that fit best. I took it into two places to have it checked and both said the regulator was bad.

  18. Got an email from Singer today and he said there's another minor setback with the alt. No big deal though, he's keeping me informed constantly and even offered to powdercoat it for free!

      Waste of time, you can't drive down the road with it on legally.

      My buddy has a couple light bars and cubes from Totron off Ebay. If you can find ones with Cree LED's and boards, they should work out pretty well.

  20. About to take a Finanical Accounting midterm. Let's do this!

  21. Why do professors like to pile on the work right before spring break?

      OrionStang

      Be happy you get a spring break.

  22. Final score today was a 146.5 @ 29hz. Im beyond happy with that

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      So you ignored all the replies to your previous post.

      Your box is tuned too low.

    2. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      I didn't ignore them. The box I have now is tuned higher (37) than the box I had before that peaked at 32. I was aiming for 37hz and don't know why it dropped when I raised the fq.

  23. Hit a 144.8 at 29hz. All I want is that 145

      you'll get there. Promise you will. Little things can add up quick. Get the inside of the car cold, close some AC vents, change the seat positions. The 146.6 I did was under an awning that was a solid 15 or 20 degrees cooler than it was in the direct sun.

    3. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      Okay ill try some things tomorrow during the test runs

    4. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Tune higher. I guarantee your car doesn't peak at 29. My car peaks at 33 with boxes tuned from 30 to 38, so im fucked. I say its your box.

  24. Leaving in a bit for the Nopi show in Myrtle Beach!!

  25. Cat went out on the saturn two days before a show. Good thing it's a quick fix.
