  1. If your positive it is the result of the remote wire...

    Then what i'd do is use your HU remote wire to operate a relay, and have the relay controlling a +12v from your battery. If that makes sense... and using 14-16 gauge wire should be fine.

    This problem sounds more like a grounding or impedance issue with the amp... Are u sure its shutting off? or is it going into protect? If the output impedance is too low, it's possible the amp is overheating and protecting after some time bumping. It could also be a grounding issue...

  2. i actually just read and took a test over a modest proposal and gulliver's travels, don't know what outsourcing really is..

    but i'm guessing it's something like exporting?

    anyways, make it as satirical of a paper as possible...completely juvenalian satire

    Outsourcing is diverting jobs to other countries besides the US where people will work for less money. It means using people in other countries who will work for lower than minimum wage to fill job positions at American companies. Its usually manufacturing jobs, or tech support, thats why when u call dell computers for instance....you are connected with a person in india.

  3. Hey everyone, I was wondering if some of you could help me with a paper I gotta write.

    It is supposed to be a hyperbolic radical solution to the growing problem of outsourcing; following along the lines of "A modest proposal".

    I know there has to be some of you out there with twisted minds that have some great ideas!

    Thanks for any help

    I think a good place to start is with the deal MI just struck up with GE. I just heard they are opening their global IT center not far from here and hiring 1200 people. See what incentives they were offered and go from there.

    I have plenty of idea's, but honestly, they aren't "modest". Coming from Detroit gives me a unique and often unpopular view on things. :pardon:

    How can it be a radical solution and a MODEST proposal?

    anyway, I'd say eliminate minimum wage and force people to become desperate for work. Theyll work as cheap as any outsourced laborers and be much easier to train and will probably appeal more to people who use their services... like...me calling dell and not being able to understand the indian guy... no offense of course..its just the truth..

    A "Modest proposal" is a propositional paper trying to solve England's poor problem by feeding their babies to the rich. I am not asking for a "modest" change, that's just the name of the paper that I need to use as a guideline.

    So bring on your gross ideas!

    I've gotten a couple good leads from you guys, thanks a lot

    My bad, I didn't think of it as the proper noun, i thought u were quoting the assignment, like it had to be a modest proposal. I got you. And alright now i got to think of something worse... lol

  4. Did the person who owned the car before u have this problem? cause i absoulutely assumed that this was professionally installed, idk why i made that assumption, but unless the previous owner had this problem, id say the electrical system was already upgraded to work with that many devices. again, you may need a new battery. Take it to autozone and have them test it on a batt tester to see if it's good.

  5. No you are fine with the fuse, It just depends on how much power you are going to be drawing with your amps. Like me personally, I left the factory connection in place.. completely untouched. and added an ADDITIONAL alt charge wire with my own in-line anl fuse. If you are confident in the conductivity/gauge of the stock fusing, then you're fine. but I personally added my own as opposed to replacing stock. In fact i did that with all of the big 3. I added additional runs without touching the stock ones.

    So did u decide which way to wire your battery?

    it dosent matter how much his amp is drawing the alternator wont put out more than 115-120 amps if its stock, and ive ran many amps that draw "150" amps on 60 amp fuses (yes for meca) but i beat on them for about 2 hours and they never blew, they got discolored and purple but didnt die

    I was more talking about the wiring inside the fuse box, that is, from the terminals he attatched to to the actual fuse itself. At least in my car, there is about 3 inches of 8 guage running from the inside of the fuse box out to the bolt where the wire was attatched. So if i had run a 0AWG to that, it would be reduced to 8 before it made it to the fuse anyway.

  6. Yes i did ground the engine block to the frame...its on the other side of the engine bay, you just cant see it in the pic...and as for the alt wire going to the fuse box it has a 130a fuse there and ive seen people saying you should fuse it and since it was factory fused i just let it be....am wrong in doing that? i thought it would be smart to fuse that line to the alt... and of course i sanded down to bare metal on all connections

    No no your fine with the fuse. Okkk I didn't know u had a fuse there. I couldn't see it in the pic. I thought u were going to the factory fuse box, like the stock location...and i was thinking the stock fuse/wiring would be much to small for a high current wire. but you've done it perfectly then.

    So did u decide which way to wire your battery?

    I read the faq's at kinetik site and they say to wire both + and - from the front batt to the rear batt terminals.... im guessing i can get away with just the + from the front batt to the rear...i dont like the idea of wiring straight from the alt to the rear... it will be 1/0 of course

    I've seen it all three. If kinetik says run the + to + and - to - then i'd do that. I personally ran a run of 0 gauge to my stock battery from the alt, then to my stinger battery, and two runs of 0 gauge from each battery - to the chassis. Its really the same thing.. they're paralleled either way.

  9. I plan on putting 2000 watts in my truck and using kinetics 2000watt batt...this battery will be hooked up in the rear and i will still have the other battery to run the truck...will this battery charge just like my stock battery? ive never run dual batterys before so im kinda clueless...thanks for any help

    How are you planning to wire it? You can do a run of 0 gauge wire from the + on the batt under the hood all the way back to the kinetic, and then ground the kinetic to the frame.. OR you can run a 0 gauge wire from your alternator to the kinetic in the trunk and ground it to the frame. Both ways will allow it to charge from the alt. Do u have the big 3 done though?

    yeah i just finished the big 3

    Well, that wire that u have running from the alt to like, what is that a fusebox? and the batt + is connected to the same fuse box thing? The alternator + can go directly to the battery +...even if the stock alt charge wire did not, you can always add the one directly from the alt to the battery IN ADDITION

    ALSO there should be a 0 awg wire running from the Engine block, to the frame..it should be the same spot u used to ground the battery... AND that ground point needs to be sanded off and cleaned before u attache the wires there.

  10. First of all, wait to hear what fed ex says. Second, it's VERY possible it was stolen of your front step, I've seen this happen around here more than once. In that case, contact Fed Ex say that u never got it, see if it was insured... Also contact DD and see what they have to say about it. Other than that... Hopefully its a mistake or misdelivery or something..

  11. So I wake up to a gushing sound coming from the garage/water heater area and the water pipe inside the wall had burst and water was gushing out of the wall.

    Not a good way to start the day. =@

    Man i know the feeling. We have a finished/carpeted basement, I walked down there in socks and all the sudden i'm stepping in a puddle... Rip up the carpet and the floor is covered...pull off some drywall and theres water SHEETING down the wall, we ended up getting like 2 inches deep before we found where it was coming from...

  12. I think iPod's have a max volume setting where it won't let you turn it up past a certain point. If you set that and then set the gains to that then there shouldn't be any clipping, right?

    Yea, it does, it has a max limit, so u can only slide the volume up to the point you set it to... But WHERE DO I SET IT?? lol. i want the maximum output of my ipod without clipping... someone O scope it!

    just literally turn the volume down on the ipod like 2 pixels and save the lock there lol.

    Alright if u say so lol

  13. I've been looking for a new HU, but right now i can't afford it. I have a double din slot but my stock radio has XM, Bluetooth, On Star, Steering wheel controls, and its on top of GM's 7 Speaker pioneer system, and i haven't been able to find a HU that can drive the amp that the car came with, or how to integrate all of that. Besides that, I guess i'll turn my ipod down a tic and save it there.

  14.

  15. ok ive had my system in my grand prix for a couple days before my mechman alternator came in. i put that in today and now when i turn the amp up to 3/4 on the bass knob the amp shuts off when this never happened before with the original alt, what could be causing this?

    Alternator properly installed? check all your ground connections... Also do u have an external voltage regulator? or is it regulated by the car's ECU? If it's external, check the voltage its set to.

    What is the voltage at the amp with the car running?
