BFF Larry Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 i just installed my 3rd battery in the trunk of my car. their hooked up to an AP3000.1d but now it feels like im not getting almost any power as i had before when i only had 2 in the trunk.... before i had a Exide Orbital AGM and a X Static Batcap 800 all powering my amp and 2 15 L7s. now i have Exide> Stinger spv44> batcap 800 > amp. i can turn the bass knob mostly all the way for 3 or 4 minutes till my voltage drops from 14v to around 12.4 - 13.6v but it spund weaker than before.... i also moved my amp and build a rack for eveything outta left over 3/4 mdf wood layin flat in my trunk. my amps setting turn dials are facing a corner of my trunk now. maybe i accidentally turned the dials while i was trying to drill and screw the amp down to the wood. (it took me a good 15 mins to start and tighten 1 screw ha and i know i was touching the dials with my fingers and nails..) but i havent checked yet... i know i should have before i posted this. but do you guys have idea why my system aint even nearly as loud as it used to be? thanks, Larry Quote Team Clearly Louder (MECA)Team DC Audio ++* SELLING the CACTUS SOUNDS K12 for $1550 shipped *++ HMU!!! 3 flips. nollie flips. big flips. hardflips. - steez Youtube Channel My Build Log 95 Bonneville SSE - WALLED/4th Order - ~30 cubes - *thanks LoganBerry, CortezDVT, Cj18, SuperCharged DC, Ryan-RAM Designs,LoudNLow931* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 66 1.8k
Trâgîk Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) If you were hitting them and moving them then you should have definetly checked them before turning your system back on and all the way up especially.

skittlesRgood Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 so many red flags... the gain is almost all the way up? blindly turning dials? bass boost? how did you set your gains before you mounted it?

Cashdollar2009 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 so many red flags... the gain is almost all the way up? blindly turning dials? bass boost? how did you set your gains before you mounted it? He said bass knob, as in remote gain. At least i'm pretty sure that's what he meant. Even if his settings are terrible, the only reason why they would be any different would be that he moved them somehow.
