How would y’all wire led’s to go inside the box? I’m doing a plexiglass window and want some led’s inside so you can actually see. I don’t want it pulsing and only on when the car is on.

You would use the remote/ignition wire into a relay wired directly to power. This will turn on the led lights with your amps without using the remote wire as actual power.

I never got an email saying it was being tested. They are so backed up it is unreal. I had several conversations with them. I got mine a week ago. All of a sudden I got an email saying it was shipped and it was here 3 days later and I live in Wisconsin. I asked about that and even the guy who handles all the emails is overwhelmed right now. I gotta say though the quality is really top notch.

FYI I ordered mine Jan 25th, got an email saying they were built on Feb 7th or 8th and they showed up last friday with a ship date of Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Shipping in the US has been slowed badly. Also they use Fedex for shipping.

Fi is right down the street and they are having man power problems. One of their lead builders had Covid and they pretty much disinfected the whole joint. A guy who just ordered locally is hoping to have his sub(s) in 9 weeks. Quite the backlog.

Man... Hopefully it will be packed well from any damage .Fed Ex will run 7 days a week and late and even on Saturdays and Sundays around here and generally are much better than UPS that only run 5 days a week and prob 6 hour days,, and tear chit up in the process. USPS generally will tear a package all to hell, and never update shipping info. I hope it makes it to you alright.

They ship there stuff very well I will say that. The two boxes were glued together big time and showed up without any damage. Can't complain on how they shipped them one bit.

Finally!!

Not shocking they have gotten yours out a week after mine. Figure 3 days for it to show up and make sure someone is home to sign for it as well as they require it.

23/32 but sold as 3/4”

Same thing, all ¾" will most likely measure 23/32". I've been dealing with lumber since the early 80's.

I connected my amp to a stock HU. I had to add an LC2iPro to the HU.

Im going to try and set my gain with a MM, my number is 31.62V for 1k amp (will set around 31.1V), if the LC-pro has a volume, does this effect the 31.62v at the amp?
