  1. i didn't see anywhere about you doing all of the big 3. you did alt to bat and bat to ground but did you do the alt chasis or engine to ground in 0 gauge as well? that could be the problem too. with that H/O alt you deff should not have electrical issues especially with that 1.2k

    I did not upgrade the chasis to engine. I didn't have time yesterday. I figured the mechman would stop all the problems. But it didn't. I think the draw on te battery for the car and the system is more then the battery can keep up with.

  2. So I just put two DC lvl 2 8"s on a DC 1.2k into my wife's 05 Monte Carlo SS. She has a optima red top under the hood 4 guage front to back, and her lights dim really bad so I did the battery to alt, and battery to ground with 1/0 guage still dimmed. Then I put a mechman 270a alt in and the lights still dim at idle and at 2500 rpm. I checked the voltage at the amp and it does not drop below 14.07 at idle but the lights still dimm pretty bad. Do I need another battery just to help with the voltage pull? Any thoughts?

  3. from what i could find, my box dimensions were 41w x 16h x 20d the box did not sit all the way up against the seats. I had to attach the sides and the top and bottom together, put it in the trunk, then put the back and baffle on, then mount the subs. It was a tight fit. I would have to remove the trunk rubber seal, shave the corners of the box down, and remove the trunk latch to get it in, and it still scrapped on the 6x9s and factory amp. Box was 6.13 cubes before displacement.

  4. Got a little more work done. Installed my new JVC KW-AVX640 in dash dvd player.

    This dash kit sucked. I had to take a dremmel to it and cut pieces off, and even sand down the inner edges of the face to make this deck fit.

    I didnt get a pic of the completed install of the deck, it was too dark by the time i finished.

    I ran a strand of 1/0 from the front to back

    The more i get ready, the more excited i get to hook it up and see what these little guys can do. The final box install should be done in the next few days. So i should get some pics with the subs in.
