    Coming Soon Ground Pounder Build

    Ok, so here is a few more to hold you over for a while. Fiberglassed and sprayed with rubberized bedliner spray. Got rid of the Pioneer Avic Z1. Bought a Panasonic Strada 905U. Nice. Hope that holds ya'll over for a few days. I do have the baffle ready to go in, with...

    Lookin for a sub amp... mono or 2-channel?

    Typical rule of thumb for amplifiers when looking for "real" wattage, is 10 amps of fusing per 100 watts of amp rms output. If it is supposed to be 800 watts rms, look for 80 amps of fusing on the amplifier.

    Sub Placement

    Man don't ask us...Stick the sub somewhere in the truck. Listen to it...Move it. Listen to it....Move it. Listen to it. It will take like 5 minutes if you loop the same track on the head unit over and over with the same bass line. Just find out where it sounds best. All cars are alike in some...

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    Noise filters take away power, and then you must amplifier the power back with line drivers...Costs more money in the end to get it right if you are picky like me.

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    It was the Pioneer Avic Z1. The instructors and the owner both came to the conclusion that it was radiated noise and the head unit was just sensitive enough to pick it up. There is an unbelievable amount of wires behind the head unit. Switches for undebody lights, under seat lights, rear camera...

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    Mike, I already know all that stuff. I am in school for it. Paid good money to learn the right way. And it was the head unit. I replaced the head unit today with the Panasonic Strada....No noise whatsoever. So done. Thanks for the comments.

    Where do/did you mount your tweeters

    I got mine in about the same location, but with boston acoustic component sets they come with tweeter pods on angles, so I mounted mine to the best suiting surface. As for the 6.5's, I used 3/4" mdf and made speaker adaptors for them and they fit behind the door panels and do not hit the window...

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    Come to the conclusion that the truck is emitting radiated noise. Ran the power directly to the battery along with the ground and the Acc wire. When the key is on, it is still there. Checked all the fuses by pulling one at a time, and still no dice. I was told to get rid of the radio.

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    If you want to, you can do that. I won't be fixing it until tonight anyway. I have to get finished on the box build for the 18's. Today I am fiberglassing the inside and putting the speakers in withthe finishing trim panel. Thank you by the way for helping with the input. I will definitely try...

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    The amp is brand new, and I had it before I bought the amp. I realized I had it about a year ago, but it was not this loud until I amplifies the speakers. The grounds are good, and already relocated. The problem has been singled out. It is the ignition wire that turns on the head unit. I just...

    Alternator Whine in MY STEREO?

    Yep, you heard it. I hooked up my new Boston Acoustics components and heard the alternator whine. Here is the problem. When the car is on, it has a whine with rising and lowering rpm...you know the drill. Here is something different though. In the Acc position, it is gone. This means that it is...

    Whirling Noise

    Try running your power and ground directly to the battery. If it is still there. You know it is in your signal cable. If it goes away...Re run your wires.

    Coming Soon Ground Pounder Build

    Only got in six hours yesterday of sound deadening. I like everything to be perfect. So I took my time. You are seeing two layers everywhere. Still alot to go. It was raining too, so the joys of working out of the hotel parking lot. Inside the car with the ac on. ha ha ha. And...
