Wonder if I should keep my 01’ Ford Expedition (187k) 4.6 THATS already all wired up OR buy a newer, lower mileage Tahoe ? regardless either one will get beat up from my future build.
-
just a warning ford starts filtering out parts after 8 years unless the part is popular
-
Whatya mean filtering out? As in getting rid of the extra shit that doesn’t get used a lot?
-
right and its sucks cause some of this stuff shows up at my work i go to look up the part, and obsolete sometimes i can get it through other dealers (10% price increase) aftermarket is sometimes forgiving and has something that works and sometimes it doesn't have anything. :/ gotta say though i used to be big on chevy but after working here i must say v8 chevy or ford will last a long time with proper maintenance

Smoke coming from box, it's not a coil smell but more just a normal rubber smell...none of my wires are hot and my cap is only a little bit warm. Any suggestions?

Too much power is your cap is getting warm... SA's don't handle 1300 watts IMO, I'd tone it down a bit, but that could be me. I ran an SA as well on 1000 watts and it ran fine. Could depend on box size etc.
-
The 1.3K's and all of the Twisted amps are a bit underrated. I want to say the 1.3k will do 1600ish watts rms @ 1ohm.
SA's can take some serious power for being only a 2.5 inch coil, but typically as you go up in power and push them far beyond their rated rms you need to start shrinking box volume (as with any woofer).
You can throw gobs of power at it in a box that is ideal to what they ask for, but prolonged periods of time your just going to be asking for issue.I had a pair of the old rev 1 SA 12s in a 4th order bandpass powered by a SAZ-4500 and they took it fine for the longest time until one day they had enough and the surrounds tore, coils where still good though.
Granted even though the power is clean there will be a point that too much power is just too much, and an quality 3 inch coil is by far more forgiving than a 2.5 inch coil.-

thank you! little delayed on the reply...i know it's throwing 1.5k consistently at the subwoofer, I toned the gain down and kept certain songs out of my daily tunes. Haven't had an issue since

Got a failure to stop ticket 2 weeks ago...so I go to pay it online and well turns out cop wrote the wrong date(month behind) so they're tryna hit me with a $50 late fee HA! I feel like this was definetely not a mistake because this dude was MAD
-
the great feeling you get when everything in your car finally blends well and sounds relatively decent ?
-
That moment when you get pulled over by a cop who does a 160+ in his personal daily LOL. Coolest cop I've ever met and he wasn't young either!
-
Pics or lies!!!

Fixed my headunit, was just a bent prong inside the adapter lol...got the clarion EQ finally working, what an unreal difference it makes. Found out I was trying to power it with a low voltage wire LOL . Remote was fine power was well, close to dead. Finally having a day off Saturday so now I'll finally be able to get everything tuned and looking good
-
Stayed up late last night getting my SAE 50.4 all nice and wired up after having no amp for over a week....go to turn everything on and well now my headunit is no good. Fuses are fine, grounds are fine ...Never ends. Any good single din headunits out there? I'd love to get a Kenwood double din but this clarion EQ looks too good to be put somewhere else lol
-
Praying to baby Jesus my girlfriend signs my FedEx package because if she doesn't wake up for it I'm going to soccer kick her right in the kidney. SAE 50.4 ?...up next is the SAX 200.4 was planning on getting the updated version but the older one is so nice and big lol....I WANT!
-
Good or bad idea to place 10" speakers or shallow subwoofers on the sides of my middle console?
-
Just got my Twisted Sounds 1.3k for the SA15 in my sisters car. Her boyfriend "tuned it" while I was out....Knew something was wrong sooooo yea I swooped in with the CC1/DD1 + O-Scope and my laaaawwd! She's COOKIN' for a small amp!
-
Well damn just poked a hole in my new SA15 in the surround lol...socket + drill ~ slipped off the bolt straight into it. Helllooooooo epoxy ? ....on the bright side just totally got rid of the most painful zit on my back after many attempts over the past few weeks ????LOL thought I'd let all yah homies know.
-
Anyone ever get so mad when trying to figure out a wiring issue that you start ripping everything apart to start all over again? Yea that's me today...think I'm just going to take a break for a few days and chill out for once
-
Yes, and as tedious as it is... I usually find a flaw or I learn something new. Although, chillin out is also a good options occasionally. What kind of issue are you having?
-
I usually take a smoke break and just look and rethink about about everything, and most often it lets me see what i did wrong or missed, some times you just have to take a step back and see the whole picture to see it all. It is easy to get so focused you overlook things staring you right in the face.
