I will check the connections on my car again, I do have an extra run of 0 guage with ring terminals on it, out of the same wiring kit the rest of the big3 is done with. I’ve recently noticed as well my abs light flashes on heavy notes, and my “check charging system” light is consistently on...

i currently have a 2003 Expedition, with a “PCM controlled alternator” meaning voltage is controlled by pcm I don’t know how to better word that. I have a 360 amp high output alternator, big 3, and xs power d6400 for electrical, and a taramps md3k for bass and a skar 4x400 for mids and highs (I...

Lol nothing is exposed or “sketchy” osha would approve It’s more like instead of taking a drill and wire wheel to the spot I was going to ground I just used sand paper and stopped when I got tired. Im going to start a new thread as suggested because I feel like for having well over 1,000 into my...

Everything is 1/0, big 3, power and ground, 8 gauge running to the subs, and 8 gauge running the battery to the smaller amp, and 8 gauge ground. I was kind of lazy when doing the grounds when I installed it so I’m cleaning them up right now

So, I have an agm battery in my car, just one and only pushing 3k watts to subs and ~320watts to mids and highs and a 360 amp alternator, on heavy bass my voltage drops to 12.6 then snaps back up, otherwise even on moderate notes stays in the 14 range, could it be because that battery is low...

When you get a chance to, try checking impedance at the output terminals on the amplifier, then impedance from the terminal to the subwoofer itself. Also, from the ground on the input of the amp to the point it’s grounded out to. Maybe it could have come loose at some point and vibrates To me...

I just replaced a set of sundown audio sa15s with these, and the same power that had the sa15s looking like they were about to jump out of the box barely moves these new 15s. Could it just be that they aren’t broke in yet? They’re seeing about 1400 watts each right now and barely move. They get...

I tried to load this thread and it wouldn’t pull up. If you sound deaden the doors, would it still be worth adding rings to funnel sound into the cab? Or would they be obsolete with the door deadened?

I just ordered 72 sqft of deadening, it will be in tomorrow installed when I put in the other amp and door speakers. Wouldn’t coaxials in the back theoretically ruin the soundstage? Or would it provide almost no difference not on the amp?

so covering the entire inside would be “waste of money” but sealing the door with deadener is 100% worth it? I’ve heard of people doing this but honestly didn’t know so many people swear by it lol. Will hopefully be doing all of this Monday/Tuesday. Out of curiosity I’ll do one side first and...

Awesome thank you. I can do either a high pass or low pass on my amp, and high pass on my headunit. Hoping that will be sufficient to get rid of the “extra” frequencies. And by deaden them just spread sound deadener across all of the holes? Or does the whole inside of the door need to be...

So I finally got around to ordering 2 vfx15s from skar, 2 6x8 coaxial, 2 3.5 inch tweeters and a 400 watt 4 channel amp all from skar, as well as a 360 amp alternator from Tucson. The 15s will be seeing around 1200 from a taramps 3k each in a custom box tuned to 29 hz. I also have a spare set of...

Hello, I am getting ready to install my 3000 watt taramps and 2 15s in an expedition. I am a little hung up because my old car had a 220 amp alternator from the factory, but the expedition only has a 100 amp alternator. It is paired with an xs power d6400, and 0guage big 3, as well as 0 guage...

Trust me if money wasn’t a problem it would be 4 sundown x15s on 2 taramps smart 5ks in a 23 expedition, But ya know😂 Will it be a problem mixing my agm battery with a lithium battery? I’ve heard you shouldn’t but honestly haven’t done the research.

Hey guys, tax seasons coming up super fast which means we’re all upgrading our systems one way or another (most of us anyway) I’m sorry if this topic is beaten to death already, but I couldn’t find anything close enough to be satisfied with the answer So I’m wondering, I am ditching my...
