The sound deadening is going to be more about preventing vibration from metal surfaces and adding unwanted noise. Does it have the JBL system...

Yeah tapping off the 4 gauge is typically fine. However, you need to fuse the smaller wire right by the 4 gauge at 1 amp (or whatever the small...

Agreed we need to see the connector.

Have you checked if the RCA themselves plugged into the amp are showing voltage now with the radio off or volume all the way down? Check and make...

Damn thats a lot of power. You built that whole thing with no BMS? A balancer is good to add of course but a bms is mandatory. I see people doing...

I suspect it's an ignition problem rather than a transmission problem. Start with the basics: plugs, wires, coils, check engine codes. Does the...

As for a coned speakers (woof, midbass, mid) driver polarity, a common household D cell battery works great. Connect the batter to wires, touch...

Try this other test; get a 3.5mm headphone repair cable and connect it to the LC7i input. Connect that to your phone and measure. This will tell...

As for which signal to use, I tried all combinations and getting signal from the dash and front & rear doors is the only way the system sounded...

Perhaps you changed something without mentioning it here? Maybe a loose turn on line? I dunno man...but we'll take it. Hopefully it keeps working. 👍

Figured it out. For some reason my rca cables would work in everything but the new head unit. I quickly tried a spare set, and that fixed the problem.

No way to tell if the wiring is bastardized without looking for yourself. Wiring adapters are cheap enough at installer.com. That said there is...

Those subs are 400w RMS each, and that dual enclosure is 800w RMS with a 2ohm load. That's a 4ch amp that does 55w x 4 @ 4ohm, & 75w x 4 @ 2ohm...

Fully test it without the ACR-1. TBH it sounds like an amplifier issue. Try connecting your phone direct to the amp via a 3.5mm to RCA cable. If...

The harnesses showing up for your vehicle show one or two adapter plugs. If your car has a separate CD player, then I assume that is what the 3rd...

Okay so for the basics, No I do not have a factory amp, or any other amp installed. I only have the one amp to power my subwoofers. I have not...

$500 is not unreasonable, but just know about alternator shopping: There are two numbers that matter: The amp output at or near idle (what's it...

Hi, if no one here is able to help you figure it out, try over at diyaudio in the car audio section, it is a more technical forum. This is one of...

Tesla beat Edison. Why do you think we transmit high voltage ac? Cars are low voltage dc, which is absolute worst as far as efficiency goes, but...

What the ****? Are you trying to put ohm's law into very complicated verbiage?

It would be cheaper, it might be easier to find a place to mount it, and you would have a ton of options if you just do two, 3 slot fuse holders...

Usually when you shop for a replacement harness for your model, you will find the pictures may show you in what pins your wires go to.

Zinc also conducts fairly well. I use zinc nuts and bolts on the terminal cups I build into my boxes.

I like the way these look. But whatever I do it has to be top post. My battery is on the driver side and right beside the air filter housing. So...
