      So was your stinger giving the wrong output?

      stinger wasn't giving wrong output. it was actually exactly on. just reading too slow to catch the dips…. and i haven't tested it yet grant. I should…. but i really try not to hurt the amp and put it in protect. I think i might later tonight on my next drive. Test it if its the voltage spiking or not.

      to be on top of it where it matters wire it direct to amp :thumbsup:

  2. To those curious, specifically Dubindodge. I did some testing today grant. It doesn't hit any harder or lower to my ear with one side sealed. Helped my flex a little bit more :).. But I'm loudest to the ear both doors closed and both front windows down.

      Cool deal. I also get more flex with one side sealed up. Props on that paper trick, glad to see another sealed trunk doin' work!

  3. I need help getting my doors 150db capable to compete with with out losing my sq. Open to ideas such as 1) new door panels / pillars made 2) pa or high end comps 3) maybe upgrading my headunit to an 80 PRS for processing power. Amp is ct 125.4.... Any ideas? Feel free to PM if its a long winded suggestion.

      That's what I was thinking. I was looking into having a hertz HSK 3 way with custom doors done, tweeters in the sails. Just not sure how I wanna hook it up to the 125.4 yet for best results

      i'd do 2 pairs of high end comps on some good clean power and be done with it.

  4. 2 pages of solid updates on the build log. How about some love? ill take a new video for it tomorrow.

  5. Thank you DC power alternator. You give your sale bringing my alternator down to $540 when i can't buy it at the moment.

      Scheduled delivery is tuesday evening. Either way, i will be doing final touches and a cleaning on the car friday before the show. I might even take off work that day.

  7. Who knows about protect modes on amps? When I'm full tilt on certain songs i protect. Im sure its not thermal. and I'm sure its not arc. Supposedly that leaves only "DC Offset" and "Overload" protection. Does any one know what those are? It also could be instant voltage drop. So i just ordered a SMD volt meter to see if my stinger can't keep up. It reads 13.5 full tilt.

  8. So could i be having instant voltage drops that dim my lights but don't register on my stinger POS meter? Just changed to OFC, holding almost 14 volts now vs 12.2. But my car lights still dim when its full tilt.

      Rarely does my meter pick up the whole 1v drop from my window motors

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Yes. Headunit is set with -0 with +6 sub level. Max volume 56/60 clean on dd1. Gains set -5. Only play decaf. But amp protects on certain songs. Could it be I'm wired .5 ohm nominal and box rise isn't saving me? It seems to only do it on certain songs full tilt. Even 80% LC-1 and i never have the issue.

    4. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Im just trying to connect what is protecting my amp with what i think it could be. Being that its related to output… its not thermal.. and I'm pretty sure its not arch because i don't see any signs of it. So that leaves me with DC off set, and overload protection.

  9. Anyone else have the feels of when your mids and highs are not loud enough because of your latest bass rebuild

      Whoah now. where did that come from? I did have 40 pics uploaded. Much of it was progress. There was a very clear update video. Decided not to post the second video because of redundancy.

    3. Kyblack76

      Lol. Sorry Jeff read that wrong. Again, wish I had mids and highs. Good luck man.

      Swordlordboy1234

      No worries bro. Sometimes i type weird. Like skipping thoughts and it can be read wrong. Appreciate it man, i need it.

  10. So my gf and I just used a heat gun that I use for shrink wrap to make indoor s'mores.

  11. Time to trade in the polks. I can no longer hear the words clearly when I'm playing my peak songs or I'm playing full tilt.... Basshead problems.

  12. Who wants a update video of 2 XFL 12's in a BHE double kerfed box on a ct 2500 doing a 49+ on the ear o meter? I really can't wait to get this thing on the term lab. If last time was a 145.... My god. This time should be impressive.

  13. What kinda company replaces an amp that was broken most likely due to owner negligence… CT Sounds! brand new 2500.1 at my door! This time I'm going to make sure its better protected from vibrations for sure.

      This was the first amp that died under my care. But if your refering to the earlier comments, those are pulled right off of Facebook public posting.

  14. Anyone know where to get 6.5 mdf speaker baffles made for my 96 accord doors?

      It's not. Pics will be rated PG. It will be of our shirts I got made by cngcraphix

  20. Having second thoughts about outside speakers for car show demo's. Both my gf and a friend agreed that I don't have a show car, so why put in something I can only use a couple times a year.

      outside speakers in a car? shoot yourself.

      The plan was to run 6 coax 6.5's on ch 3&4 on my ct 125.4 and put them on a lc1 to control them when I'm not at shows. It would be I. The beauty panel of my trunk so only audible at shows when my trunk is on display.

      Meh, I wouldn't do it. My car definitely isn't flashy by any means, but it certainly isn't unusual for someone to give me a thumbs up or compliment.

  21. Well first let me say I really liked the idea strange duck had for tuning the bass with -10db on the dd1 with the sub level maxed, and then using the -5db tone and turn down your sub level until its clean to compensate for different music. I tune just with -5db but that's just me and I mostly stick with decaf so... Second... Yes the 80prs is less then 1% thd at 62/62. Its a bad ass headunit. OP. just make sure all bass boost, loudness, and other EQ things are turned off. Those are all bad. As far as boosting things +1 on your EQ.. That can work, but generally people will tell you to cut frequencies around it rather then boosting the lower ones. So instead of raising 1k... To lower 80hz and lower 1.5khz... That kinda idea. Other then that it seems like your doing everything right. Another contributor would be voltage. If your voltage dips below where you tuned it with your dd1 then that could introduce clipping too. I tune with my car off so I'm safe till about 12.5volts.
  22. I love my gf. She made me a birthday cake in the image of a subwoofer. And being a non bass head she could only remember one company name for the dust cap. So I have a DC audio cake!

  23. Time to order some self birthday presents... Sky high and tool maker goodies for the rebuild? I think so.
