    i have 1500w to my xl's are they sing pretty damn good. he could always get another 3k later.
  2. skittlesRgood
    huh???
  3. skittlesRgood
    could be that your started is messed up and is drawing way too much current... but i dont know much about cars.
  4. skittlesRgood
    ill crimp them too but i cant get them tight enough to be trustworthy. but if you just clamp them down on the vice 1st you do use less solder.

    well if it gounds out through something it could have fried it. the socket wrench hit my wiper arms when i was taking off my alt + and it fried my wiper motor. so look whats attached to the spot that the wire touched and see if you can trace what might have fried.

    the reason you were popping them is because your 600w amp is pulling over 40amps. your fuse was/is way too small. pick your fuse by the wire size. if your using a 4awg power wire, use a 100amp fuse.

    check out my build. about half way down on page 1. might be like what you want. if you want something a little lighter, ive seen people just make a wood frame and wrap grill cloth over it. then the frame is fitted with magnets to attatch to the box. edit - oh, didnt see you already finished it.

    im with this guy. do the math though. dont just throw a bigger fuse in there.
  9. skittlesRgood
    so you want higher tones but you have the lowpass set as low as it will go? maybe try turning that up...
  10. skittlesRgood
    you should solder them either way. use a torch.

    the dry ice is a lot of fun. makes one hell of a boom.
  12. skittlesRgood
    yes, predrill every screw hole. now that i see your design, yes i would brace that. or just do a double baffle.
  13. skittlesRgood
    ah crap. i dont think i can make a pod that big... unless i cut the door panels and mount the speakers to the plastic. i was thinking about doing that and having the screws that hold the speakers on, go all the way through to the metal so i wouldn't have to worry about the plastic being too weak. then makeing my pod inside the panel. just not sure if i want to cut that door...
  14. skittlesRgood
    come on guys. lets hear some input.
  15. skittlesRgood
    what do you guys this about putting a 6.5" speaker in an enclosure in the doors? do you think it would help get more midbass out of them? how big would the box need to be? or rather, whats the smallest box you would ever use?
  16. skittlesRgood
    that box really isnt big enough to worry about bracing. its not like the xplods are going to flex a box much. if you do want to brace, a 1.5-2" dowel in the middle of the 39" piece would do you just fine. screws are only for clamping pieces together while the glue drys. yes you leave them in after but you dont need very many as long as you have clamps.
  17. skittlesRgood
    that wouldnt be good enough. they would make you take the speakers out of the car. but its not a problem so dont worry about it.
  18. skittlesRgood
    just making sure bro
  19. skittlesRgood
    you can always wipe up the extra glue that drips out. youll get the hang of how big of a bead to lay down. use LOTS of clamps. look at the build in my sig to see how many clamps i used. if you dont have a lot of clamps then use a little more screws. be sure to pre-drill the holes.
  20. skittlesRgood
    lol wood screws. the screws dont hold the box together, the glue does. the screws just help the glue make a tight bond. they act like clamps while the glue drys.
  21. skittlesRgood
    ya, i thought that 4G would be the one. pics sent.
  22. skittlesRgood
    i didnt expect you to help at all. but i guess it would be a good way to end all the bull shit.
  23. skittlesRgood
    he was being a smart ass. we've butted heads a few times so it was appopriate.
  24. skittlesRgood
    several reasons: if i can fit it, id want to get that 300amp slim mechman. then id have over 500amps and ill be able to add a lot more power. its a new type of project that ive never done before and it greatly interests me to learn how to do new things like this. ill never be able to sell an alt for a buick rendezvous and the 250amp mechman im using is working great so it would be a waste to take it out. i dont have pics but if you want to help i can go take some.
  25. skittlesRgood
    4"? are you going to be helpful or was that all you wanted to say? you figure out how to fit a second alt into an 06 buick rendezvous and ill buy one. i just noticed i have an AC line thatll be in the way of where i need to run the belt.
