72 Chevelle System Fix - Worst install (by a shop) ever - REDO - FINISHED - Page 23 6/17/13


Recommended Posts

Steve I noticed 2 0gauge coming off of the Alt and only 1 0gauge at the battery under the hood. My question is, Did you run Positive direct from the Alt to the back battery with no fuse? I saw you put a fuse near the rear battery but I cannot locate a fuse after the Alt before the Engine compartment wall. Is it necessary to fuse the Alt? I'm just curious. Thank you.

I cant believe I miss that..

That was one of the most ballsy moves I've seen by completely grinding down to bare frame metal...but it looked completely unoxidized for now, hopefully it stays that way lol

so you are faulting me for scraping the paint with a wire wheel before grounding the wire? really? LOL - you said "grind"....it was a wire brush on a drill. SMH

nope, i didn't fuse the alternator wire. I almost never do. There is a fuse at each battery though.

Watched the vid last night. I haven't seen such a shoddy job in my life, man. Awesome of you to set your friend up with the system he should've had in the first place!

I do have one question. What all goes into setting up the .3 besides just crossover points? I saw your vid with the 6 mic array and I downloaded the software just to mess around with it, but I'm guessing it's gonna take getting the processor and tinkering around with it in a car to really get a feel for it.

Oh, and I give my thousandth post to you, my good sir. :D

No no, I didn't mean to make it seem like any fault or anything like that, I just meant that even to get the cleaner connection on my car, I would be very hesitant about removing the rustoleum coating. Sorry I exaggerated on the "grinding", I've been studying for AP english the past 2 weeks, I'm hardwired to inflate a situation and use extreme words, that how you write a BS essay response lol

Edit: I only noticed because I had spent about 13 hours scraping and grinding rust off the frame under the car, and even after a little bit of rain driving over a year some of the front frame was developing rust and even getting through the rustoleum layer.

Fucking love Alan you goddamned fucking super nerd lol

When Alan uses big words I don't understand

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room.

I missed Alan.

RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

so as long as i fuse before the back batteries its cool to run straight off the alt? i would worry if for some reason i got a short somewhere between the alt and batteries the wire wouldnt be protected.
