    Would a bad alternator cause it to play fine when it's OFF and cut out when it's RUNNING???.. Isn't that his issue???

    depends what the voltage is when the car is on.

    traxxas. have you even tried anything that i have said? you cant just ask questions then not diagnose it yourself.

    hes running 13.8 soomething guys and i found out the power circuitry in the amp was bad and freaked out when it was fed 13.8 instead of just 12v from the batt so he got a new amp

    You said oem integrated. So how are you catching the signal out from stock deck? Rca input voltage could be a issue.. what kind of amp? Kind of car? And check power and ground connection.what is the amp powering? Subs? Highs?

    alright i had the remote hooked up to the 12v ignition on the fuse box, so when he hit the key the amp turned on.. no prob there and i unplug the rcas and turned on the amp with the car running it still did it! and btw.. agian the amp is fine when the car is off.. its a Phoenix Gold R2.0:1 Octane R 2.0:1 amp powering a 10 inch infinity sub at 4ohms.. the amp does this with nothing hooked to it just the - and + with a jumper off the + for a remote.. still does it im thinkin the + power cable is messed up somewhere along the line

    It has to be the remote wire getting too hot causing it to cut in and out if ur remote is jumped from the positive terminal....that will cause the problem...run the remote behind the headunit or the fuse box....

    if a wire is jumped from amp + to remote (which he did as a test), the amp should work perfectly fine. its the same exact thing as having a headunit's amp turn on lead wired up to it. amps draw a max of what, like .5 amps through the remote wire? unless his remote wire run is 30 gauge and 40 feet long, this doesnt cause the problem he's talking about.

    agreed! :good:

  17. port length

    what would be better a square or circle one? and why? Ill see if it fits both of them.

    Your choice, I think... depends on how your box is designed based on where you're mounting it (size considerations) and then which (slotted or round or other) accommodates your sub(s) and your space... have you got a box design? with the c.f. info along with the displacement info of you particular sub(s), etc. you can tune your box port accordingly... if you're just asking aesthetic preference, i've always like round ports... so rlly its you prefrence.. but i like circle ports because theres no edges to restrict or cause port noise... btw... Keep the port(s) as far away from the enclosure sides and back as possible except for the slot type port.

    Make sure the inside end of a tube or square port is at least the equivalent of one vent diameter away from the back of the box or any bracing materials.Keep the vent free from anything that may affect air flow through it.The port should also be placed as far away from the speaker cone as practical.

    hate to tell you but if you spun a main bearing get ready to go to the machine shop and have the block done take some pictures and post them up like to see the damage. i just rebuilt a 94 vortec 6 cylinder because of a bad main and rod bearing cost around 2500

    i already know this lol i kinda thought you guys would expect that.. you know what your talking about! lol im getting the heads done, block redone and the cylinders honed.. so anyways it'll be practically brand new when im done

    Actually speedball1978 i think it is about 35hz not exactly sure i have measure the box and calculate my port area to see but im sure its about 33-35hz its pretty low .. I like my low end(: and my pioneers are pretty cheap subs but they have alot excursion since the motor is designed to handle it.. And they like that low tuning so.. Anyways yea its about 33-35hz

    Not rlly.. I bought my box online and it made everything soo much easier! It wa a box tuned to 33hz and it was 1.25cu perfect for my pioneer subs i have 1500 watts to them and the box only was about $80 so its cheaper that way anyways! And btw the box fit perfect and everything! Rlly easy to install and it had ports on the front in the middle it was a very nice box.. Just look up 97 silverado or w/e year ur truck is there all the same anyway i think thats the best way to go bc i couldve built a box but... I was to lazy=)
