what impedance was it at? some amps that dont have low impedance protection just get hot if theyre hooked up to too low of an impedance. If they dont have thermal protection, they just fry themselves.
-
specs on that amp says 75wx4 @4ohm
someone just won 20 dollars for it being a 300wrms amp
congrats
on a serious note, you would be shocked how much a draw a stock radio/amp/lights/ac/fan puts on the stock, low reserve battery. dont play your car with the engine off and you wont have any problems.

the sorority girls around here love black sparks =)
on the theme of joose though, bootleggers is kinda the same difference, but they both may be regional things, because ive never seen joose, but that shit would sell like hotcakes around here, we all call anything alcoholic JUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEE

distill it into beer-liquor
mad easy to do with some kitchen implements/utensils and an oven
you have like 20 full gallons of beer
distill it down into 1-2 gallons of moonshine

the 514 isnt extremely loud though, but being able to record anything is pretty cool
i saw someone who did the "big black guy named ben" alarm, where the warn away said "step away from the car, motherf*r" in a black guy voice, and when you set it off it went "o sh*t you gone and done it now, theres gonne be hell motherf*r* with an airhorn in the background
never lol'd so hard at a carshow
directed has the "pain generator" sirens they used on the merlin atv/jetski/motorcycle alarms, its a retardedly high pitched and loud alarm. We usually put one or two under the dash so when they try to remove the alarm they have these things blaring in their ears and decide it's not worth it, if youre within a foot or so your ears ring for like 2 minutes afterwards. i wish i knew the part number, but im sure you can find it in a catalog, theyre usually listed as "piezo sirens" just make sure to pop the lil round black plastic cap off, its for jetski waterproofing, if its in your car you dont need it and it gets so much louder.

after the rain usually means someone has atleast 200lbs of mud stuck on their truck
looks like you have a saggy rear and wet tires....

my bad aznboi, you're right on that one
the air APPROACHES the speed of sound and creates audible noise, something like past mach .1 you get noise, i got my decimal point messed up
my bad

I edited and fixed the link, i cant remember the embed code, just click it and you should be cool.
do not buy that amp, please, you cant do stuff this legit and strap a piece of junk like that to it

Im guessing the dimensions you have are from the edge of the rear flap to second row seat, low enough you can still see out the back window, and wide enough to touch both wheel wells.
two boxes, each 22.75 wide, 20 high, 27 deep. that gives juuust over 5 cube net internal volume. considering the port is gonna be something like 19.75x4x22 to give that tuning, its just over a cubic foot, and the sub is going to be starved
im not sure how much height you can spare, but if you went 2 boxes, 22.75x26x27 with a port using the back floor which ends up being the internal width(19.75) and about 4.5 inches high by 23 inches deep, you hit the minimum of 5cubes a sub plus port. from what figure, you should be just over 35 hz tuning, like 35.1 or 35.2, but its close enough
heres a quick lil diagram so u know whats up

as far as that amp, if it actually made that power, i'd be shocked
it looks like a bad rockford knockoff, and its power acoustik, not the best brand in the first place.
4g inputs and rms is claimed at 1700. i'd spend the extra cash and get something like audioque aq2200's or something similar, not some chinese made plastic throwaway big ass number on the box amplifier. if power acoustik has the technology to get near 6kwatts on 4g and 160amp draw, were all doomed
not to mention, the one picture i found of the side showcases 4 atc fuses. atc maxes out at 40amps, 160amp draw seems right for 1700watts.
i legitimately looked this thing up and down and spent like 45 minutes designing you a box and checking this amp out, dont buy it unless you realize that best case scenario, youre getting a shitty quality 1700MAX amplifier. you DO get what you pay for, that said,
http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps2200D.htm <my suggestion, quite a few people have used them with very positive reviews, and its a legit 2200 watt amp. 2 of those, a few batteries, some zero guage, and a nice alt, mechman and iraggi should both have some for your car, and you should be ready to thump.

big market if you can make ~75 dollar free air 8's, toyota/acura/lexus/etc all have them in the rear deck, and when they blow out alot of people just want it replaced, a box is out of the question.
-
my buddy made a 4 sided box back in the day and was asking why his subs weren't loud.... it was literally just 4 sides, front back top and bottom, no left or right.
guess he didnt get the whole 6 sided box thing, too complex
-
if you exceede the 1:8 ratio by much it makes port noise pretty pronounced, and with some setups the air can get over the speed of sound and make some funky shit happen.
some kid at a car show had a port so tight it almost sounded like it whistled, it was so weird

the price of a decent cap is the price of a decent battery, a battery is thousands of times more powerful than most caps, so why not?
I told this to a customer one day, 1 farad=1columb of electrons at 1 volt. 12 volt car=1/12 columb of electrons. 1 columb of electrons in one hour=1 amp.
smallest battery we have is 20 amp hours, or 480 times the reserve of a capacitor.
now who is dumb enough to get a capacitor knowing that (i may be wrong on the math, physics was a long time ago, and im drunk, but it should be right)

depending on the headunit, if it has "id3" tag support, just drag files to a folder in your computer and use windows to burn the cd, should work fine, and most units can navigate a file system, if you want to keep everything organized

he typed an extra zero, dont be hating on him, numbers are hard=)
kinda like the guy with 4 alpine type e 10s in a sealed box in the trunk of an impala with a 600 watt alpine amps saying he hits 160's, and its all in the design of the box. Numbers confuse people i guess

Ive used a bunch of DEI part # 55000 and 55020, one is the line out put converter (high to low) and the other is a voltage sensing 12v remote turn on(we call it the icecube, it senses when the speaker is playing and turns your amp on, and turns it off when the speaker is off)
as far as wiring, if it's for subs, usually just twist the grey/white with stripe together, the grey/white without stripe together, tap it into the speaker line, and the ground isnt really necessary, but just connect it to metal somewhere. you dont need stereo, and if you have a shared chamber box with a non-mono amp, this keeps funky stuff from happening.

We've had problems with gmrc's and video decks, especially flip outs. Im pretty sure int hat car, the radio is powered through the amp, which in turn is powered through the gmrc, and it ends up being a load of current. 99% of the time that we've done it, we put a relay triggered by the acc wire to the radio, with the outpout to the radio's red, and the input tied into the constant.
alot of times the gmrc/os unit just shorts itself out and kills the battery, it may be worth trying, but it seems more like the factory amp is blown honestly
-
ive heard talk of doing better grounding, either through a kit or some normal 8g wire and such can net you a few hp. Import tuner had some thing back in the day where they got like 13 hp outta some honda by improving all the grounds.

to drown out the screaming drunk girls
it works so well=)
-
can do it the ghetto way and throw some blocks in the rear to bump it up the inch or two you sagging if youre just trying to fix the aesthetics of it
-
can be cool and hook it up to foglights if he ahs em, lets you turn it off if needed and in most cars itll turn off with ignition
-
as far as i know, legally all you need is a windshield and two front windows, rear view mirror, and side view mirrors. I remember hearing a story about someone with a wall getting a ticket because they didnt have a rear view mirror...but im pretty sure they are legal, as no state i know of requires you to be able to see out of the rear windows

definately left my makita cordless in a wheelbarrow from october till march when I found it, about a foot under water. Its still going now like 5 years later. It was never a good drill, just always worked

clipped music as in a clipped signal, which is really common on mp3's. The basic part of compression is taking away all dynamic range, making the low noises as loud as the loud noises, and eliminating all and the extra data. The problem is that the loud noises are affected too, often pushed to the range of clipping, where part of the wave is clipped off because the signal expands past the usable bandwith of volume.
that being said, it is entirely in what music is played off of the thumb drive, not the fact that a thumb drive is being used.
