damn well let me see if i can post a pic of what i got so far.. http://imageshack.us.../imag0614d.jpg/ if i see it right you made the outer cut , and you need to cut the center out next ? i think your dremel 4000 could do it , a circle jig makes for nice holes , you can use some flat steel or aluminum to make one if you don't have one . what exactly is it that has you stuck then ?

if you cut out the speaker holes already and were thinking of using your dremel 4000 to cut out the rings i don't see how it will work , assuming you are going to use or improvise a circle gig , there is nothing to center that with the holes you already cut . start over , or use the jig saw to finish the rings you started .

Big 3 Wire brand suggestions
b-dubs89 replied to Mikey Bates's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
knowing what i know about metals and such i think there's some truth to this , aluminum oxide protects against corrosion so aluminum don't corrode very much below the surface . still like copper . -
Big 3 Wire brand suggestions
b-dubs89 replied to Mikey Bates's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
%100 copper good , cca better than nothing . if you don't need alot of cable spend the money on copper if budget is in mind . cca is ok my preference is just copper , copper coated in tin is good cable too i have the rfk1d amp kit and rf's big cable is nice -

sometimes with a trunk car you can pickup some loudness inside if you can figure out a way to open the trunk into the cab . i had a buick century and i moded the back seat arm rest so i could open it and go thru to the trunk , that did help get a little more volume . thought about building a fourth order that would dump through the rear deck or the back seat , but i don't think i would be happy with the sound of a fourth order .
-
if you got time , you could try to find what you did as far as wire goes , sounds like a pintched wire or something unplugged . or the stock amp has been damaged due being incompatible with your aftermarket h/u some how
-
that could be it , best solution imo is run your own wires and amp them all
-
hope you aren't going to be one of those people who goes around advertising your stereo annoying anyone with in an earshot cause that aint cool . pre-fab boxes are better than nothing , but you could do alot better , ported is overall louder than sealed . if you have a volt meter , check what your ohm load is for your subs , some amps that are rated at 2 ohms will run at lower ohm loads , but they make less power at lower ohm loads . also your placement of the subs could be part of your low output . more specifically about placement , standing waives canceling out sound

what is the vehicle , i had a similar problem when installing a h/u in suburban , my problem was the rear speakers would be distorted due to there being a factory amp for the rear speakers and the higher wattage of the new head unit would overdrive that oem amp bad .the way that i got around that was pullin my own wires and bypassing the oem amp , which i had after market speakers any way , but if you have say a bose oem system , you may encounter speakers with some weird ohm load which may make it tough to run them with a h/u

the hiphonics amp might be ok for the money , my experience with poweraccoustic is not good , the box you could probably build something just as good or better . i too am on a budget , i have had a some rf p1 12's and 15's thought they were descent for the money . love my alpine mrp-m500 amp . very happy with my jl 13w1 subs to . since joining smd , it has occured to me i have been fishing off a small pier ,as far as car audio brands . been thinking more about sundown audio subs . -
Bad Gas Mileage.
b-dubs89 replied to Relyks's topic in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!
locking gas cap . checking vent is a good idea too . gas gauges are not that accurate always . i had something like this happening with my malibu , and in addition to all i would have it not want to take gas when i would go to put gas in , almost like the anti siphon was jammed . started not filling it up seemed to make a difference for the better . still somewhat puzzled as to what may have been happening . staypuffed has a good theory about building presser and forcing gas out somewhere . if you think some one is stealing your gas , get a gamecamera .
