Cardboardcat15 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 How were your crimps done? Hammer? Not being a dick here man, but I would seriously look into redoing your connections. One of the solder joints looks like it didn't have enough solder on it, and the burnt ones aren't gonna give you a very good connection. If you haven't already, I would definitely look into buying a hydraulic crimper. I can't tell if your crimps were done with one or not but they make life 1000x easier when terminating runs of wire. I bought mine and never looked back. ON another note, very nice choice in amplifiers. Your amp rack looks awesome, I like that blue lighting a lot. Do you have plans to paint the ports at all?

Do you have plans to paint the ports at all? well many years ago it was done with a hammer lol (i was 19 and i didnt know what i was doing) but ever since then ive been doing the soder. they have plenty of solder in them to secure it to the ring ( believe me i tried pulling it out lol) its just i messed up on the capping part :/ i want to buy a hydraulic crimp but im under the impression that solder is a better connect or something... thanks i was all sony before i got into Rockfor Fosgate from watching steve meade lol naturally he was my inspiration to do everything in fact i was learning my fiberglass and fabrication techniques from watching his videos. im actually in the future gonna rebuild the box into a more effecient design and itll probably be built entirely out of fiberglass and the ports im gonna ditch for some aero ports Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS, (2) Rockford Fosgate T400-4, (4) Rockford Fosgate T1652-S Component Sets, (1) Rockford Fosgate T1500-1BDCP, (1) Rockford Fosgate T2D415 in a ported box (5.5cu. ft. tuned @ 37Hz), (1) Optima Yellow Top under hood, (1) Shuriken 80 amp batt in the back, 2 runs 0 AWG OFC Rockford Fosgate wire, Big 3 upgrade on front and back battery, Stock Altenator (90 amps), RF RCA's, Kicker 12AWG OFC speaker wire, Stinger roadkill sound deadner all over the inside of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
