Diexcy Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Do you have the port opening up through the armrest? thats pretty sweet Yup Dam that is a slick box. You dont have your RCAs running with your power wires do you? Thank you! The RCA's, remote and power wire is ran pretty close together under the carpet, should I be worried about this? Never actually thought that it could be bad. Check out my build log! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeWith4x4 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I dont know how much truth is in it but I have always heard you could get some un-wanted noise coming through your speakers when you have the RCAs near your power wire.

Heres some light reading http://www.caraudio.com/forums/wiring-electrical-installation-help/220897-running-rca-power-cable-amp.html I'll leave it for now. Gonna get meades distortion detecter, unless the shipping breaks my bank lol, and with some experimenting it should come clearer to me. I learned in school that these cables are twisted to take out "electromagnetic interference" (yeah I had to check it on wikipedia to make sure I wasn't messing up in my head) or some shit like that but I have no idea if the same goes for the RCA's, since theyre twisted too in my case I'm not too worried.

6berry Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 what did you do to make that hole in the armrest? i was looking at mine because im probably gonna do the same on my next build but theres a 1-2 inch layer of foam. How did you seal the foam around the edges? 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you seal the foam around the edges? The foam piece behind the armrest is a single piece and is separated from the other foam, so you can just pull it out, no worries However when i cut the hole i noticed that inside the armrest where the foam ends theres a frame of hard plastic, so if your saw (or whatever youll use to cut it up) gets sorta stuck then you know that you hit the "edge". The foam piece was about the same size as the armrest. Want me to try snap some pics on it? Check out my build log! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6berry Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 some pictures would be great i dont really understand what you mean by the hard plastic frame 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diexcy Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Sorry for the picture quality The foam piece is as big as marked on this next pic and should be easy to pull out from even a small hole. Now here's some pics of the frame itself, it did get some marks when i cut the hole but you cant see it when the cover is on And here I'm squeezing the frame to try and give you a picture of how it looks. Try it urself i think u can feel it thru the foam. Hope it helps. Check out my build log! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
