aN-i-No Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 When some of my friends ask why I don't put the amp inside the port.....smh I'll play stupid newb. Why don't we put amps in ports, given the port is built large enough so the proper square inchage is obtained for the port? Put a piece of paper in your port.... Now do you want your amps to experience that? I know I don't. For the record, I don't currently have a system, although I have in the past. IMO anywhere on a high bass car is a bad place for an amp, but that's a newbs opinion so I know the chances of me being wrong are pretty high. You're right, vibrations are bad, but amps are built to handle that...I mean, how smart would it be to have a 3 or 4 thousand watt amp that is sensitive to vibrations? It doesn't make any sense. What you DON'T want is for the amp to be in a place where it will bounce up and down or "flex" because that increases the chances that something inside the amp will break off. The port is the most violent place in the car (and by far the loudest/most pressurized, at least at the tuning frequency), so that's why you don't want it there. For example...you don't want your amp to bounce around freely in a trunk or cargo area, that would probably break it after a while. You want it on a nice piece of wood or stiff material that won't bounce and flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Ripping the dash apart just to chase down an intermittent RCA connection for the 4th time. Super fucking annoying when the left side cuts out, then you take the dash apart and it suddenly is fixed before you touch anything. I traded off with my sub RCAs last time and it still happened. Could be the HU, so I just switched to rear preouts for highs. Imma fucking scream if this shit cuts out again after this. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

Quiet Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 What do you expect from $400 worth of gear? You're running 10x the power with 1.5x cone area and only doing 15db more? Would love to see what it'd do on a TL, but DFW is bass-barron. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatersGonnaHate Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Diagnosing and tracking down wiring issues at 9am. When the temp is already 92 degrees. With a heat index of 102. And it's 123 degrees inside the car. Fuck that shit. It's a good weight loss program though. Sweating like a fat bitch in dodgeball.

HatersGonnaHate Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 At least you have garages to work on lol. Everyone here converts them to an extra bedroom, so all work has to be done outside in the elements, and it blows donkey balls. Switching the analogy lol.
