Its probably him bottoming the sub out at 18 hz on free air. Nothing to do with clipping.

That's unusual. I thought for sure that "suck dick more" was going to be an option. Or maybe that's just a given.

Ironically, this thread could be stickied and turned into the OFFICIAL rant thread....and delete all the other ones. Here's a mini rant. I hate the 3,000 threads about AQ vs Sundown and BTL vs HDC3 and shit like that.

Dude we need a rant thread. genius....

petroleum jelly. its not just for fapping.

Skittles is correct. Why I suggested running the wiring from up front to the back in parallel is so you can keep the stock speaker wiring. Unless you can find a way to run the new head unit as a an input to the stock one.

Maryland represent woot woot. But yea try and get another run in there if you can, but it's fine to ground to the chassis if you cant fit another one.

What you would have to do is splice into the stock wiring and run the aftermarket wiring in parallel and run it to the trunk.

fuck i want one

I just busted out laughing in a doctors office.

dude omg I never thought of that. I have a lil bit left now too and I may just have to go outside and do that shit LMAO. the hood of my lawnmower sounds horrible now.

DC level 4 xl likes that kind of power. Should be less than 450 also.

x2 on bcae. between them and diyma virtually every topic and question is covered.

Have you ever heard of voltage drop? At higher volumes there would be over .5 volts drop on a run of 4 gauge at 15 feet. I dunno about you but I would run 0 gauge and then run a reducer so i would only then have .2 volts drop.

Before you go getting all this stuff you need to figure out how much power you will be running. If two batteries would suffice without having too much voltage drop then you just wire them in parallel. Positive to positive. Negative to negative.

What kind and how many batteries do you have? Also what size wire do you have to connect them with?

The short answer is....maybe haha. Again it depends on every angle up front. There are some guys who use deflection to their advantage but that is usually for better sound imaging rather than trying to tone the tweeters down. If you can, slap those angled brackets on there and play around with the different positions and see what you come up with. Edit: Its doomguy from the original doom. If you're referring to the same thing.

Im glad to help but make sure they sound good there before you go and do all that work for nothing. Remember all cars are different. Peace.

Dude those lights are super pricey. Most of the ones I've seen at fire expos that were decent were around like 400 bucks. Start saving up. http://www.firestoreonline.com/vehicleaccessories.aspx On a side note, can you ride yet? Edit: Also read up on your local laws about displaying them on your car. I never had one and would just haul ass to the firehouse (if it was safe of course)....oh shit...you guys may be allowed to respond to the scene in your own vehicles...forgot about that...

There is no real answer unless you know am SQ guy who knows your car inside and out. And even then he may or may not know the best position because people are different heights, and therefore is either sitting closer of farther away from the dash. Best advise I can give is to sit in your car how you normally drive and roll the windows all the way up. Then using double sided tape or velcro, mount the tweeters anywhere manageable and take a listen. Even though you will have exposed wires for a little while, it will be well worth it in the end knowing the tweeters sound how you want. A general rule is to mount the tweeters a couple inches higher than the highest point of the dash (if you're mounting them in the a pillars). Many people get good results firing the tweeters directly at each other. Others use deflection to their advantage but thats hit or miss in each car.

what did you set the voltage at?

Correct, the amp already has its own fuse(s).

is it that BIG ASS crossfire sub that looks like the smd? pls say yes?

Not to mention the current draw from being wired that low in the first place and the heat generated.... Many other things im wondering too lol....well consider it a lesson learned I guess?
