rockFord_Expedition Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 how do i do that? open it up? and i dont have the infrasonic filter turned on. i didnt know what it was. ill turn it on. No need to open anything up. Just disconnect the cable from either the amp or the EQ module it's self. The infrasonic filter keeps the amp from reproducing frequencies below a certain level. It's pretty much like a high pass filter that is set way low. In your application, turning it on is recommended.

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 So bring me up to speed... Have you fixed your ground? Your location is fine, but strip all of the paint from the entire that will make contact with the ring terminal you will be using. Terminal should be crimped with a minimum of an 8 ton crimper, or soldered. Personally, 4ga and up is where I start crimping instead of soldering, but either one done proper is good. Make sure your ring terminal on the end of your ground wire has a good amount of surface area to make contact with the ground location. After making the connection put some dielectric grease on the bare metal and terminal to prevent corrosion. Use the biggest wire that will fit, so in this case it sounds like 4ga. If you can, you should run 1/0 to the back into a dist. block and 4ga from the block to the amp for your + run. Do your big 3....

Mr DeeBeez Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 ground is fixed with 4ga. copper lug on and i just used a big pliers to close it. sanded down the metal to bare minimum, and bolted it to the metal. and i should have some time to try and get the big 3 done. i dont have a jack, and my alternator is pretty well buried, so we will see if i can get to it. will update in about 5 hours once i have a chance to do some work.

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Post a pic of your crimp job. Our ghetto crimp officer (SnowDrifter) will need to inspect and approve of this termination before electrons will flow through it. Hopefully you picked up on the sarcasm there. But seriously, I really, ok STRONGLY recommend that you get that thing crimped properly or soldered.

CleanSierra Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 You don't need a soldering iron. What style terminal is it? Is it a close ended terminal or the kind with two fat prongs? What you'll need is a small torch(you can get one from Harbor freight for like $6). I like the solder from Radio shack for price, or just regular Oatey stuff. Make sure it's rosin core solder Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 its a close ended one. and i already have a torch so all id need is the solder. and with all the little things ive been doing, it sounds better than it did before, and it doesnt go into protect mode quite as much. looked under mu hood today to see if i could do the big 3. and my alternator is buried in my engine. all i can see is the side of the pulley. cant even take off the tire and get to it because there is a bunch of stuff under it. so i dont really know what to do from here...?
