MrFree Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) you get 13.5v just because thats what your alt charges at. only way to fix that is to get a new alt or maybe have yours modified at a shop. i think you can do that. turn the bass boost all the way down and never touch it again. just do it. now read up on how to set your gains with a DMM and get it set correctly. after those steps, if you dont like how loud/quiet it is, its purely equipment. the reason your having problems is because your trying to push equipment to do what it isnt supposed to do. That cap is probably hurting more than anything on your electrical. I would remove it. Also what plate did you ground it too? Pictures would help in this case. I hope I dont piss anyone off bumping this,but. After the van died I put everything in my girls lancer and I have not had a problem since. I am really really loud now, and I can bump it to the max without it cutting out or even getting warm(seriously I have a gain nob and I push it to the max,while demoing,and I can touch my face to it, it's so cool afterwards) All together I have the big 3 now 2 stock battery's and a shuriken bt sk20.When i put in the shuriken the amp stopped getting hot, and I grounded my amp twice(battery that is grounded to the frame and the frame so 1 terminal 2 grounds, but im sure it is just the shuriken that made a difference) Edited for coherence: Edited March 25, 2012 by MrFree Quote R.I.P...99'Dodge Grand Caravan 03 Lancer Oz Big 3 HU-JVC KD-530 RCA's-rockerfosgate 41/2 inch Infinity mids Subs-(12's)2 Orion xtr124 Amp-Coustic600se battery-2 x stock, 1x Shuriken SK-BT20 Box-L-ported 3.562cubes@35Hz miscellaneous-stinger volt-meter, gain nob, (coming soon bass pro,eq,line drive) I dont have flex yet but damn I sound good,(coming soon....flex) Check out my HHR install Everything I install or build here:http://s1160.photobu...s/q485/MrBfree/ Also video's of my Car with the new box.http://www.youtube.c...lentGyge/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFree Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 So you still are running bass boost and all that? maxing the gains? No I have a gain nob that I adjust as needed but mainly it stays at half way. I never use to max gains I never even would turn the gains up I couldnt or it would over heat.And I never used bass boost either.But now that I have the Big 3 and a couple battery's I am able to turn everything up with out distortion bass boost all the way, gain is half and the lowest the voltage drops nox is 12.3v Quote R.I.P...99'Dodge Grand Caravan 03 Lancer Oz Big 3 HU-JVC KD-530 RCA's-rockerfosgate 41/2 inch Infinity mids Subs-(12's)2 Orion xtr124 Amp-Coustic600se battery-2 x stock, 1x Shuriken SK-BT20 Box-L-ported 3.562cubes@35Hz miscellaneous-stinger volt-meter, gain nob, (coming soon bass pro,eq,line drive) I dont have flex yet but damn I sound good,(coming soon....flex) Check out my HHR install Everything I install or build here:http://s1160.photobu...s/q485/MrBfree/ Also video's of my Car with the new box.http://www.youtube.c...lentGyge/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankkilla420 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Just becase you have multiple batteries doesn't mean you can turn everything up... I mean unless you feel like dropping some cash on new amps and subs every month or so... keep it how it is. Seems to be working for out for you now. Edit: my bad I meant bass boost al the way up. You can only boost a signal so much >< Edited April 5, 2012 by Ghetto_Bumpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 You seriously need to learn what your doing. Your going to end up blowing your subs here shortly. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

MrFree Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 You seriously need to learn what your doing. Your going to end up blowing your subs here shortly. I think there blown already.When you push in the woofers it sounds like there is water splashing around. I'm learning I got the amp for free and I hustled the Orions for free. I bought the HU and the Battery.
