instructions on building a wall inside of vehicle.
Cardboardcat15 replied to varietyguy's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
I was in the same boat as you man. My wall build right now (the one in my sig) is actually the first box I've ever built. Now granted, it is a sealed box so it's one hell of a lot easier for me to build, but it's still a great learning experience. Go big or go home, right? lol. Anyway, I'm building in car too. You need a false floor to get everything secured down to, and that false floor needs to be bolted down the car good. Once you have that its pretty much building a big box on that false floor. (at least in my situation.) What I did was just cut the pieces of the box out, and assemble them one by one. Started with the back of the box. Laid my bead of glue, and went to town. used some L brackets, a right angle and other things to keep the piece up and in position until the glue dried. Once that piece was in, it's pretty easy from there on. Cut pieces and do them one by one. L brackets, some clamp force and waiting. I thought it would be hella hard, but since mine is one big box, it wasn't too difficult. From the looks of it, yours doesn't have any crazy intricate corners following the contour of the car, that's where I think it gets harder. BTW, I used Titebond II for my wall. Strong as shit, and any holes or imperfections from mis-measurement i filled in with Liquid nails. Once that was done, I glassed all of the edges/corners with 24oz Fiberglass mat. I'm no professional, like I said. First box ever. Just tellin ya what I've done so far, and it's worked for me EDIT: also, you gotta secure the box from a high point of the box to the car, like the back to rear pillars or something. Just wait for a pro to chime in to give the ultimate say-so -
running my electrical.

Not exactly sure about your question, but this might help. With the big 3, you're not replacing your stock wiring. You're adding to it. Leave your stock wiring in there, and just add the 1/0 runs on top of that. Get some ring terminals for the wire you use for the big 3, and new battery posts that has a bolt you can attach the ring terminals to. That will solve your connection issues. Voltmeter goes like this. Positive to wherever you want the readout from (I.E> battery or amp) Neg to ground And then the remote turn on to any switching power source. -
I'm tempted to write your first few paragraphs. lol. Just explain the negative aspects of car stereo and how society looks down upon it. List as many as you can on a piece of paper, and turn each one of those into a paragraph. Then, list the counter arguments on another piece of paper and turn those into their own paragraphs. I'm sure a few of the topics you come up with can be turned into two parapgraphs if you're good. Issue is, the main reason people hate car stereo is because assholes give us a bad name at stoplights. The argument is logically sided in our favor. You could probably get away with having more of your paragraphs focus on how car stereo is a healthy and fun hobby that will disprove any other theory saying its a nuisance. Good luck, man.

Nope. Forgot KCA comes in both. This is CCA. Sorry bout that. -
Scraping together some funds. Got some wire for sale. Item(s): 2 runs of Knu KCA 1/0 CCA (totals around 29 feet) Price: $45 Shipped CONUS Don't want to split, and local sales are always awesome. 1 run is Blue, and is split where it was fused. Altogether about 15 feet or a bit more. Not terminated. 1 run is Black. Terminated on one side. Little more than 14ft. the blue run (13ft) The section that was split for fuse (2ft) the black run (14ft) PM me for more details. I've also got a shitton of smaller 3ft and less runs. EDIT: just realized the date is off. Getting updated pictures now.

XP3000 Bubbling/Hiss
Cardboardcat15 replied to Cardboardcat15's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Forgot about that, nope. This is my secondary batt in the trunk. -
I just moved my car and when I turned off my engine, I noticed a very faint hissing/bubbling noise coming from my battery. I've read around but I'm not sure exactly what's causing it and if the battery is in any serious danger. My alternator will charge cold at 14.9-15.1 for a few minutes and fall to about 14.6 after driving. Am I over charging it with the alt? Or is it because it's a relatively new battery? Bought little less than two months ago.

Model Cars

I don't, but my sisters boyfriend does. He's a lowrider guy so he's got a bunch of Impalas. I don't know much about models, but to me they look pretty good. If I can, I'll snag some pictures next time I'm at their house. -
Any bowlers?
Cardboardcat15 replied to IKnowImLost224's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
I've bowled since I was 5, 19 now. Haven't bowled seriously since around 12-13, though. Back when I did leagues like crazy I averaged right around a 170 or so. -

Skip to 1:54 to see how. Honestly, I would suggest crimping. Easier and faster. Just make sure you use a hydraulic crimper. Parts express has some Fuse holders for cheap, I picked up 8 of them recently. Very good deal. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=263-630 As for fuses, just search ebay for ANL fuses. Search your desired amperage and you'll most likely find what you're looking for. Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller.
