  1. suede headliner

    no im going to take off the factory headliner, but in the headliner board there is 2 imperfections, and red i can do that but i was jw if there was any fabric out there with 1/4 inch foam backing it so that i could use it for a couple of projects. like my doors and etc.

    yeah jusw get it down to the surface you want to cover and put 1\4" foam first and then sued over it. you can do it on pretty much anything. doors, deck lids, roof panels dashboards. anything.... and it will be cheaper and easier then trying to find foam backed sued. but just my 2 cents

  5. why is my amp making a high pitched sound?

    It's a no-no just for the pressures that it can put out, especially a no-no for electronics. Should have used a can of keyboard/air duster. Something could have been blown loose with the compressor

    oh you mean unregulated compressor air is bad idea. yeah i get what your saying. i was careful not to disrupt anything. but could dust cause this to make that noise

    You keep shooting down all my ideas lol. I was gonna say switch the ohm load to 2 lol. I wouldn't trust it at 1ohm though, just because it's already making a noise, I wouldn't want you dropping the ohm load and completely frying it.

    So for now, check all grounds, open the amp up and make sure there are no loose connections, blow the dust off it again, cross your fingers lol

    well i checked everything and it looked good. so i blew it out with the compressor and it was dusty as shit lol. but i think that was the problem all the dust. its really just a feint high pitched noise.

    some amps do that when they clip

    Ding ding.

    I've noticed on a majority of the amps that I've tuned with the DD-1, when the clip indicator turns on on the DD-1, I can hear a squeal coming from the amp. Back off the gain, clip light goes of, squeal goes away.

    How did you tune your amp?

    i didnt tune it really, i just plugged it in to see if it worked, it doesnt make the noise for like a min or so after i turn it on

    I was just about to suggest seeing if it does it at a lower gain setting.

    It could also be capacitor whine. Sometimes older caps start making audible noises during their charge/discharge process.

    it doesnt do it right away. im thinking its the caps on there.

    its not set high enough to clip and even when theres no music playing it still has the noise

    you got the actual box specs by anychance?

    looking to do the same setup on vfl120.1 but having hard time getting box to 2.5 @ 34

    If you go to klausaudio.com and act like you want to buy a box. You can enter the size and what you want it tuned at. Then before checkout you can click on view blueprints and it will give you them for free

  25. The big 3

    in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring

    Posted

    I did the Big 3 (4 actually) all with 1/0, before I put in my system, along with a much better battery (but not a dual setup... I just replaced my lame stock batt). Granted, I'm just running one 'relatively' light weight RF Power 1000 25 to Life.....

    But anyway, I haven't had any problems at all. No dimming lights whatsoever, and I crank my system for 30 minutes to an hour all the time > with the truck turned off < , and it never dips below 12.3 volts..... about 13.5 truck running, with stereo + air con.... 13.8 to 14.4 with air con off, stereo on {oh, and I put in a digital voltmeter too, so I wouldn't have to worry about running my batt too low, then not being able to start the truck}.

    Anyway, shortly after I did the Big 3, I was on another forum, where the resident guru posted this big, long, technical thread, with graphs, pictures, case studies, etc, all to prove, that the Big 3 typically wasn't worth $#!+ :(

    Now, I'm pretty much an electrical dummy..... but I read the guys post like 3 X's, and what he was saying actually kind of made sense.

    In a nutshell, he said that the length of runs, commonly used in the Big 3, were too short to make any noticable difference in resistence, and that the only time when it made a bigger, more noticeable difference, was with long runs of cable, like from a battery under your hood, to an amplifier in your trunk.... or your alt under the hood, to a batt in the trunk. Hmmmmm.

    ........that, and also, if you were running a high powered alt, or 2.... (er 4 ;)

    Hmmmm. At the very least, the Big 3 "looks cool" ;)

    Anyway, I have to agree with that other guru guy, that for my setup, the Big 3 probably isn't doing squat. But it might be doing a little more for some of you with much bigger, badder systems.

    Peace,

    Fish

    i havent noticed anything after doing my big three at all lol. my voltage is still the same as it was
