  1. stickers add the DBzzzzz/ at least -3db without the sticker...
  2. your not overthinking this at all..... pretty sure, like you even said yourself, you have one of the most common trucks on the road. this is not a new problem... or even a problem at all- by now could have rearranged your engine bay and jammed multiple batteries in there... but now tell us about how xs is too expensive and youll just get an craptacular poop battery blah blah blaaaaaaahhh
  3. "perfect fit" is anything that fits and has the specs you want. if you cant figure out how to get different size in because its not exactly right.... welp, then you need a oem group 65blahblah. maybe get the guy at walmart to suggest one and have them install it while your at it teehee 😜
  4. what is the advantage of "your" product compared to 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3550
  5. if you are running your mids off HU power I'd suggest getting an external amp to power them.... otherwise I agree with what was said above
  6. define "solid as fuck" like when you hit it it goes thud thud.... LOL yes, butyl will lose some of it's dampening properties over time in even normal conditions. but I was getting more at the fact that it isnt necessary to apply any heat to get it to adhere properly when used within the working temp 40+. will it be easier to work with on a 100 degree summer day? yes... is it necessary? no-
  7. quality dampener should have no problem adhering properly at the temperatures in question. leaving the dampening material indoors then taking individual sheets as they are needed should be more than adequate. keep in mind that excessive heat will break down the butyl causing it to have less effective dampening properties.

  9. this is before fosgate joined with rockford cool stuff indeed
  10. just to play devils advocate... isnt this just like asking for noise violations??? if you install this, are you responsible if he crashes??? thing looks dangerous-
  11. can we stop suggesting this now? theres still a nut under the terminal??? but i'll stop trying to help-
  12. take everything off the stud (even the last nut)... then ring terminal, fuse, washer, nut- also after it's crimped it will be slightly smaller...
  13. put the terminal on before the fuse... you would want it that way anyway so the fuse can easily be removed-
  14. my battery tender charges to 14.8... then maintains 13.4 until you disconnect it... disconnected the batteries sit at 12.7
  15. It's exactly why I quoted what I did. Part of my price was tracking down the exact same car, hire it out for a coupe hours so I could mock up the pillars. now that's going the extra mile.... but op will probably get some warped pillars with misaligned drivers... that is if he gets back anything at all-
  16. when did he say he would have them back to you? if a date was never given...

  18. if you want to test how steady your hands are you could try to solder the ribbon wire yourself... there are a bunch of videos online showing tips and tricks to do so.... also there is stuff called wire glue, which is basically conductive paint, might want to give it a try- of course only if the warranty is void....
  19. here is a breakdown of the general principles behind sound deadening. Its geared toward home construction but the principles are still the same- http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/soundproofing-principles.html

  21. closed cell foam and some adhesive spray will do wonders- even foam weather stripping will do.... even felt material/stripping can be used in tight spots.....
  22. it will stop the box from vibrating in turn your amp wont vibrate (as much)... theres obviously enough energy there to cause the vibrations hence why you made this post......
