  1. I would take that ground out and do a single proper ground to said strut tower. Requires removing one of the outside bolts and boring out the terminal... Sanding and retightening. Good luck sir.
  2. OP I understand why you did not want to attempt that but if you have a way to bore out the ring terminal to have a larger sized hole then that's best. The strut tower is one of the best places for rear grounding and I myself saw over a 1.5volt difference in voltage drop switching my ground to mine. Its a bit more work but it's all in the pursuit of doing this hobby correctly sir.

  4. Leave it to grant to have shameless plugs of his build log but still be helpful... Good job sir.
  5. Snow has some good info OP. I strongly suggest listening to all he has to say or help with. Dubindodge has an awesome example of why not to ground where you grounded... And self tapping screws are not really a great grounding source. Finally. The strut tower is that thing above the rear or front wheel with 3 or 4 bolts on top of it. It holds the springs and the shocks. Drill out a ring terminal so the hole is big enough. Sand down the area around one of those bolts really good. And ground using that.
  6. My search for louder doors continues.

      I agree, the New CT Sounds Pro Audio speakers look Sexy! and I'm sure they sound just as good as they look!

  7. Who wants to see a beautiful Mmats custom install in a beautiful hot rod Truck with some very laughable wire job. I was just going to do the big 3 and swap for a singer 320 but it looks like a full 100% sky high rewire is in order.

      I don't know.. It really looks like a awesome show car install at first glance but holy crap.. I already told purple syrup with some ninja pics.

  8. I'm gonna steal this and post it to Facebook. Thank you sir.
  9. iPhone just doesn't seem reasonable any more... Regrettably replacing the 4s tomorrow. Galaxy s4 or Lg G2?

  10. Summer Heat on amps Winter Cold on subs When you are making smaller connections from amps to batteries and Cut it just a hair too long or short to look perfect next to all your other wires Voltage drop below 12.8 TOO much flex, its cool to watch on other guys cars but its scary on my car because if it breaks its mine.
  11. Well I mean you got n8 Kylar snd snow drifter in this thread. They are all way smarter then me but I don't see why my suggestion wouldn't work logically. And if you have LC1's connected you can easily use the dd1 to find where (-5) would be on your lc1 while turning it up... Make a little mark on it and don't turn it up past that point when your playing decaf. And so on and so forth. Hope that helps.
  12. It might also be useful spot set gains according to your max distortion point on the headunit at those higher levels to satisfy your 80's music... Then leave those gain settings (a LC1 might be helpful here) Then put on the -5db track and with those same gain settings, roll up the volume till you see distortion. Now you have two different max volumes for your two different genre of music that are recorded at different db levels. Snows answers are way better then mine but I believe mine might be useful sir.
  13. So after watching PWK's new video.. Ive decided that he basically just uses a bunch of big words and denies everything unless its modeled on his computer after you pay him.

      Is he a smart guy? Sure. But he has a very holier than thou mentality. Meh...

  14. some people make me laugh.. when i sat in this guys car it sounded like a 39-40. non sealed off 2 xfl's on a ct1400.1 with no electrical and bad grounds dropping to 11.0 volts. Now he texts me saying that he opened his trunk and is way louder then my car. Which is sealed. Has a better box. Twice the power. Twice the electrical. 120sq feet more deadener. Either i got crazy cancelation or someone is just being silly and over exaggerating.

      ill let the meter speak for itself. Honestly I'm hoping for a 148 in the 33-38hz range. Last time i thought it was a 145 it did a 144.8 so I'm pretty sure I'm close. Im just frustrated at ignorance and wanted SMD to calm me down before i sound like an asshole and lose a bass friend because i wanna tell him how dumb he sounds saying he is doing a 148 when he sounded like a 139-140 with most of that being roof rattle while he is playing 50hz.

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Lol now he just text me saying " Yeah maybe it wasn't as loud as yours, your right… but i bet its a solid 145!!! idk man its on another level!!!"

      So he dropped more then 3 db in a hour over text.

      wow amazing story bro

  15. So the ct2500 just did 3923watts certified at 1ohm at 12.74volts, holy crap... No wonder myXFL 12's blew even though it was clean power

  17. This kid is arguing with me that a trunk car with 2 boss amps on 2 12's is hitting 51's.. hmm

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Throat-punch him.

    2. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      his first claim was a decent one.. that 2 15's in a trunk on a NS1 was doing 53's… i maybe could see that… maybe. but being that i haven't herd of such car I'm skeptical. But 51's on 12's… on 2 strapped boss amps?…

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Yeah but that car has two SERIOUS BADD ASS 15's on some retard power in a trunk doing 53's…

  18. Anyone else seeing the CT amp dyno test scores on Facebook?

  19. Im really at a loss on this subwoofer thing… Not sure exactly whats best. Not sure if i can find some magical rezones that will solve my problem or if i have to hunt down the most ideal subs for my application. I just don't want failures anymore.

      Especially when you tune low, yeah, good luck with that.

      Xfl's have some shitty coil construction, friend of mine's 10's went to slinky, even though they were mint.

    4. Dwn4BassAlan

      Dwn4BassAlan

      just build some 12's. You can get a quality coil, cone, and spiders from Jacob.

  20. That awkward moment when you missed out on getting your car filmed by hundreds of people at a show because you blew a woofer before 10:30. FML.. I'm starting to find TD videos floating around and I'm in them standing around instead of demoing my car! :(

      add richard mallard sir

  21. Who would you use to recone? I have about 4 people seeing what the best they can put in my XFL so far. Hopefully I get something that works and handles my power. I don't wanna have to get new woofers.

    1. ToNasty

      ToNasty

      Probably psi or even tantric

  22. Guess you have never been in Texas or Florida in the summer sir.
  23. Well I blew a sub at TD. I'm on the fence if I should try to recone with stock XFL and sell. Recone both with tantric. Or sell both as is and try and get c2 threatcon 4

      No numbers.. I blew them giving twisted the longest and nastiest 2 12's demo ever. But he made the sour approval face when it hit. Doubt it was too much lows. My coil looked fine. It just unwound. Bighoss can contest for it. He helped me cut it up.

    4. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      But I was paper tricking and 3" of sunroof flex for twisted for about a 2 minute video. I hope it gets views on YouTube.

  24. Ok everyone. TD update. Who's coming? It looks like it will be COLD (36/25) with minimal precipitation both morning and evening. I will be there for sure assuming i don't find horrible driving conditions. If i do i will be stopping to wait, or turning around. Safety FIRST! Lives are more important then a show.

    1. boom50cal

      boom50cal

      Going to try and get there. If i35 is shitty we're turning around.

    2. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Same here. I am hoping for just COLD and dry with decent road conditions. I can block out my gf's complaining with the system but it will still be safe.

  25. Do i try to shave my head before TD or leave it long as hell to do hair tricks.

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Nobody care about your hair. But you better have some hotties hairtricking for you.

    2. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      If my trunk can hair trick! i hope i can, that would be cool as fuck
