thought on box size
getlocivic replied to justin_garrett's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
box is a little big.. should be fine tho for awhile till you get another box made etc.. turn the amp down and stay within mechanical limits of the woofers bigger box means less power smaller box more power -
what brand cables/wire
getlocivic replied to KiKaZz74's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
they are only 60 bux new online i picked up one local for 30 bux and that was pushing it.. at any rate a small battery int he back is better than a junk capacitor.. and check the voltage at amp while playing if it gets below 12.6 or so you need to further upgrade the electrical -
what brand cables/wire
getlocivic replied to KiKaZz74's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
i only use OFC wire i never use the CCA crap and ive seen absolute wire before...real thick insulation the 2g is actually going to be 4g wire.. so i would for sure look into something better.. try looking up american bass 0g wire or audiopipe wire both are OFC and actual gauge size.. and from sub amp to subs deending on the wattage 1000w rms sub amp to 2 woofers id run 12g wire.. im running 12g wire in my install and i havnt had a warm wire yet etc..and im well above 1k rms 2k rms and more id use 10g or 8g wire for subs -

Voltage problem
getlocivic replied to Daniel Joseph Bragenzer Bond's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
ma hk 4000d draws around 350 amps right?? i had the littlebrother to the 4k and it drew mid 200ish amps.. stock alt just simply cannot supply the massive current draw -
my stinger voltmeter has been in 4 different cars and used daily for 2yrs its never failed for me keep it in a place with minimal vibration and they last forever
-
no alternator has a ground stud.. use the mounting hardware there aka a nice bolt.. run 0g from that alt bracket to a strut tower or directly to your underhood battery ground bc a alternator is a power source and needs a positive and neg to fully work that extra ground just completes it all and people who have batteries in trunk for stock they think they dont need a big3 bc the battery is already so close to the amps..wll its the SAME thing in any other car .. upgrade all the wires

scrape off all excess stuff with a razor blade and then wipe down with alcohol also if you use a heatgun no matter the brand of deadener it always goes on easier/comforms better and sticks better too -
