bluebirdbusman Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) take the ground off the seat bolt and put it somewhere sturdier. and take that crapacitor out also does the capicitor keep some power from getting to the amp??....do you know of anywhere in the cab that i can ground my amp to without having to run to the frame?

In short, a cap is a waste of money and doesn't help a system out. It can actually be worse on your battery. And ground it on any metal, frame is the best though. Just sand down to metal if its on the body. Edited February 5, 2010 by cfallsguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirdbusman Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 i mean like if i have to i will run it to the frame thats no big deal..but i was just wondering if anyone might know of a good contact point inside the cab.

C-Fizzy Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Upgrade that 4g to 1/0, and there should be some good grounds anywhere behind plastic panels or what not. Just be sure to shave all the paint off the grounding location. Metal to metal is best Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Maxim Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Upgrade that 4g to 1/0, drop the cap, get the Big 3 done in 1/0 as well. If you're looking for an increase in SPL, look for something other than JL. I know lots of peeps on here hate them, but from what I've gathered they're just more of an SQ-oriented sub, where as something like a DD/AQ sub would lend better SPL. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
