sorry for the title, but, my rattles are almost GONE... last major one thats bothering the hell out of me is my rear view mirror. i can't for the life of me figure out a way to keep it from moving.... anyone got any advice? maybe i'm missing something obvious.... I don't know. i'm tired of messing with it.

Trying to get my point across... So can you guys speak to the quality of these two items, maybe give your opinions on whether or not these ratings are accurate... : ** IMPORTANT I am not asking you to bash these products, i just want the experts to give some opinions about quality and ratings on this stuff.. Legacy 2000W amplifier: http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-LA1868-Channel-Bridgeable-Amplifier/dp/B000DZB0M4 Pyle Blue Wave Subs: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=267-085 **i know the power is matched wrong, 2000RMS amp to 2x 1000 watt PEAK subs...i'm gonna explain that to him also...

500 Db would kill you... actually 200 can cause lung rupturing and damage to other hallow organs... There was a study of blast overpressure after WWI when people noticed soldiers with no external injuries dying from being in the vicinity of explosions... <---Just saying, fun fact of the day i guess...

Upgrading from 12 to 8 helped me tremendously. Maybe i'm the minority. -
Help Please

^ Lol i second that. And i'm 17. Unless she's REALLY mad or REALLY a mean mom, she's not gonna like force u to take it out... Also maybe try telling her it's more of a hobby than just a sound system. Show her there is a whole car audio community, and that you might even be able to learn some good like technical skills and car related stuff if your into that kind of thing. Idk, tell her about competitions and stuff too... Try to distract her from the whole "driving distraction" and ticket side of things.. -
Dual Batteries?

Big 3 and decent AGM battery. Or just big 3, and good 8 gauge speaker wire and good grounds. -
Why cant you mix subs?
osamio replied to Winn's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
Any even minor differences in how the sub behaves, and how it reproduces/responds to certain frequencies, will cause destructive interference... The system will sound quieter and less clean. -
Funny WRX ad

Ahahahahahahaah YES -
Use a DMM to check voltage drop across LARGE parts of the car, For instance, the floor of the trunk should be a fine ground point. Any LARGE area's of metal are most likely part of the main chassis. If you are really worried about it, the rear bench seat will be bolted to the frame, those bolts are probably accesible from the trunk.

I just installed a voltage monitor, and i have a couple questions... First of all, it's supposedly "automatic sensing turn on" or whatever. It doesn't have a turn on wire, just a + and -, and so far, it hasn't turned off automatically... I have it connected straight to the battery terminals... Should it be connected to a switched 12v source? Next thing i noticed, is my car was idling at 15.2 volts, I have a stock battery and a stinger 1700amp battery, with my sound system OFF i was reading 15.2 most of a drive i took, then toward the end i noticed i was reading 13.2... I dropped 2 volts driving around? I turned the car off and back on and read 15.x again. So my question is, does the alt STOP charging if the batteries are full? Or is there something wrong with my battery wiring/alt wiring that would cause a voltage drop... And i checked EVERYTHING, batteries are good, connections are good...

Outsourcing
osamio replied to Awhitewookie's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
But you just posted this ^ correcting my definition of outsourcing?? I said exactly the same thing u did... look at the time between your post and mine. We were answering the same question. Ohh ok my bad man. -
Sorry i read the OP wrong. Didn't mean to tell u about a relay if u already have one. Anyway, the power is on and it's NOT in protect? It could be an issue with the input try replacing the RCAs? or make sure they are connected well, maybe the bass is rattling em loose. **EDIT I have to read better. I'm sorry. So you have major voltage drop at your REM when the bass hits? but NOT at the main power wires for either amp? Then try running a larger gauge REM, or check your connections, but you've done that so i'm not sure. I'll keep thinking about it..
