SgtRodriguez Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I believe it is unibody. However I did sand down that point there to bare metal before connecting it but I'll find another place.

97SSBlazer Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 You could be getting ground noise through the RCA's due to all that messy wiring. Your ground needs to be to BARE metal. Use a self tapper and go DIRECTLY to the floor pan. Quote lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David78 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) try to see if you have power wire issues, over engine block, close to any engine electronix. stuff like that. power wire around rca's. could be countless of things. try cleaning up your wiring and straighten everything up.

Well all the RCAs are away from the power wire, however the power wire does run next to my fuse and relay box, could that interfere with it? I'm also just gonna throw this out there. I did not wire the front speakers manually. The amp is feeding power to the front speakers from the back speaker wires that come with the stock speakers. They meet up in the wire harness, where the rear and front speaker wires are connected. Could this be affecting it at all?

EclipseChris Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I hate to just diss your setup man, but i had the same wiring and i just need to say that it is all crap. Sosche wiring right? I had that sosche 6 gauge stuff and its just no good, rcas and power wire are bad tons and tons of resistance in the power wire and now that i have switched to Rockford stuff i have no whine and i have tons more power.

kmalinich Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I too was a victim of Scosche wiring when I was first into audio. Drop it and get better stuff. I recommend Knukonceptz wire... most here will agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtRodriguez Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) @tercelchris It's fine man, I'm here to learn lol. Most of the wire was donor from a friend. @kdicetharappa What gauge should I use and do you know the average cost per foot or yard for that gauge. And do you know if I can online get this online or if there are vendors near by.

And do you know if I can online get this online or if there are vendors near by. If you are lucky you may still be able to get some rockford fosgate stuff from best buy on clearance. I got an amp kit of 4 gauge for 22 bucks and rca cables for 8 bucks a piece 16 ft each. Everyone is free to correct me but as far as i know wire pricing looks like this 8 gauge- $0.50 to $1.12 4 gauge- $1.00 to $2.50 0 guage- $2.50 to $4.00 These are absolute lowest to pretty bad rip off. Rumor has it best buy is dropping RF and picking up Kicker so they are trying to get rid of their stock. Jump on that tomorrow if possible. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator.

SgtRodriguez Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Sounds like a great deal, hopefully my local Best Buy has something left.

Yeah man, if not check out knukoncepts, they are kinda up there price wise but you will be very happy, extremely good quality wire and connectors. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator.
