  10. I can't be the only one...

    So many people try to start to big instead of building on what they have. First thing to do is get a good H/U that your happy with that will last a few years. Next on the to do list is the front stage and get it to where your happy with as far as power and sound quality cause you can do those with little to no upgrade in electrical outside of the big 3, also the front stage is the most overlooked part of many peoples system and seems to be an after thought on what to do after dropping most of a budget on the subs and sub amps. Finally after your to a point where your happy with everything else then get some subs and amp as a temp setup with small power to hold you over till you can do it as big as you need to cause buying gear to sit in a room and not use any part of your warranty is foolish and wasteful cause in the event you ever need it by the time you do use it it may be out of warranty or close to ending.

    I started small and my plans have grown over the years. I had a mostly complete small system when I bought my truck back in 98. then my plans grew, Had a good H/U until it got wrecked when some dumbass's tried to steal it and took an amp. Before I knew what the BIG 3 was, I was already doing it. Already own a HO alt for stuff electric fans. I have bought a lot of equipment that has just never been installed. All warranties expired. Stuff like crate motor installs take precedence and stage 3 tranny's. And the biggest time vacuum ever is women. they never want to know you'd rather build a sub box or glass your doors instead of spending time with them.

    Here is how I get by until I build my blow through

  21. Shaved Doors/Door Popper Problems

    ok now this is what you should do next, have the brain out and find out which wires control the actuator and check the voltage on it when you click the button for it to pop, if it is getting volts then you know the actuator is going out if its not getting volts then you know there is a problem with something else.

    I agree, and was also my plan. Check voltage to the actuator first.

  23. Optima batterys resting voltage

    Yep, this is not uncommon with Optimas now-a-days. The red top in my Mustang typically rests at between 11.8 and 11.9 VDC. I really can't comment why this is because I'd be guessing, but this is something that I run into often. Maybe one of the battery gurus here can chime in - Nate? Scottie?

    My red top sits around same. With other people seeing the same low voltages on Optima's I am going to assume it has to do with the battery design.
