gauges are now added now i know what my car is doing YAY always a good thing dash is painted and now the new steering wheel ... woo that looks alot better New black carpet looks 100% better than the gray carpet now subwoofers were old ring was dead all fixed new foam ring YAY !!! new rims now everything was done for me yay i went on vacation to mississippi and got a new radio while i was there i was pretty happy pioneer DEH-P200UB and some new component speakers i think its time to upgrade the speakers and amp... bought a new amp from a guy 5 channel 1000 watt for fromt rear and subwoofers .... well that same day car got broken into ... everything gone ... !@#$@#$ ME

sound is sounding good now lets upgrade the car a little bit. New trunk ( old one was cardboard ... yukkie now the engine looks pretty ugly to ... eww lets clean that up New intercooler helped alot new pipe looked alot better im missing a few parts !!! uh oh much better !!! now the car is red and black ... interrior gray ... dont think so one door painted center counsel painted looking alot better !!!!

Ok so im finally going to post up some puctures of my capri build and some older pics of where i started out from. Im 19 and a super poor college student and hope that i can get a build like some other members have but for now im happy with what i got. It all started out with some speakers and amp that i got for free from my brother then i got a bunch of plexiglass for free so i said let me try something out terrible idea ... looked good but very dirty so scratch that. WOOD !!! looked alot better !!! i was VERY happy with it !!!!! then i got a capacitor and that helped alot :-)) helped alot but it was still a very shitty amp but it sounded good for the time being.

i do have my RCA's wound up .... i will straighten them out and see what happens ....hopefully it will help and im running rockford fosgate single twist RCA dont know there quality but i like rockford

i have a strong feeling is something to do with after the amp because when i unplug the RCAs the noise gets louder ... do i put all my grounds in one spot or in different spots ?

I have a Ford car and Rockford wire RCA amp subs nothing of mine is gm

all grounds are solid bare metal ... the signs are saying bad amp but its a new amp only 2 months old.... does rockford fosgate repair amps ?

ground look isolator is at the amp and i am running Rockford fosgate single twist RCA's... im going to try and wrap all power wires in electrical tape and then the 3 rca's to maybe help reduce signal noise kind of running out of ideas EDIT: ok when i unplugged the RCA's from the front channel the noise in the front is very loud with engine off only in accessory mode. the ground loop isolator i have is a fierce ground loop isolator and there are 2 brown wires coming from the box ... i have yet to figure out what they are for.

well i put ears to the speakers and i have FAINT noise coming from the 6x9s and mids. when i unplug one side of the rca cables the noise gets MUCH louder and then when i unplug both it goes away ... the HU RCA's are already externally grounded i did that already to cancel that problem. like this . http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/606527.jpg&imgrefurl=http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/606514.html&usg=__PcwOq42iie2W2j43cC1IbTw1RXs=&h=400&w=400&sz=43&hl=en&start=0&sig2=NVJKYEbuH16bllx_7FltJg&zoom=1&tbnid=SIiQfElLSV3Z4M:&tbnh=136&tbnw=140&ei=BpiKTMqdKaKanAfP0piXCQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpioneer%2Brca%2Bground%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26biw%3D1144%26bih%3D665%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=126&vpy=63&dur=128&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=146&ty=147&oei=BpiKTMqdKaKanAfP0piXCQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0 i notice that when i move the RCA away from my power wire by the amp and it got more faint. is there away to filter the RCA and power wires to reduce the noise coming from the power wires ?

Amp is Rockford Fosgate P-400.4 i hope its not the amp i paid alot for her. and the tweeters are the tweeters on my Orion 6.5 components

Pioneer DEH-P4200UB

ok i am getting alternator noise from my tweeters and its driving me crazy !!! i have power wire and RCA separated as best as i can. Running all 4gauge wire from battery to amps and grounds. HU is a pioneer and i did that external RCA ground thing because i guess pioneer is common for bad RCA grounds. running 10gauge ground from HU to bare metal. all grounds are reading .3 OHM i have ground loop isolators on RCA's all grounds are in different locations ( i have been reading and 50% say ground all in one spot 50% say ground all in different spot.) i am thinking maybe the power wires and RCA's are still to close to each other and i was thinking if i wrapped both up separately in electrical tape would it help filter ??? any ideas would be AMAZING !!!!!! ALSO speaker wire is ran away from power wires as best as possible. EDIT: and all grounds have been shaved to BARE metal and are secured very god with ring terminals.

i am going to be putting a 10 inch subwoofer in my friends car and i want to make the subwoofer fin inside the cavity of the spare tire. i dont really know how to build a round enclosure and i was wondering if there are any tips on how to do it.

Couldn't make it tonight maybe next week will be better

what time do you guys think you will be there ? i live right by OCB and would love to see some nice builds and show mine

does anyone have a MECP certificate or taken the test and what are some things to expect from it, is it hard ?

playing thunderstruck on the sound system volume is loud sorry for that hopefully will be posting a full build thread of my project on my 1992 mercury capri XR2 but for now this will do as a teaser.

would anyone know what a .58 CU/ft sealed box would tune at for a Rockford Fosgate p1 ?

you guys are talking about subwoofer boxes and im new to the car audio scene but how do you tune a subwoofer box ?
