I suspect the ground may be the issue here. While the ground connection may be solid, some chassis spots can be bad and cause these kinds of problems. Try relocating your ground.

If it were me, I'd think about building a box that fits right in that lower region of the space and firing subs and ports straight up. If there is space under there, you could also glass it in to take advantage of more of the space by removing the factory panels. Depending on how much air your...

Seal all seams on the inside with liquid nails or silicon. Also do as suggested and sand the top smooth & fill in with putty as needed. It will be fine.

Dude! What did you end up doing with this amp? That's a very nice find indeed.

I have a lot of experience with the mid to late 90s Escorts. I used to run four twelves in the hatch-back way back when. You're bringing back some fond car audio memories my friend. I never had any issue with the crappy thin wood floor in those cars. As long as the box has a 3/4" MDF...

Yes...and given that this amp supposedly has benched better than the original hi-fonics zeuss (according to Stephen) then it likely is closer to 1000 watts in 4 ohm mono and if you do the math would require bigger than even a 60A or 80A fuse. I've got a 100A breaker on it right now. The beast...

I just found the receipt in my email. The stuff I have is the 80 mil thickness, 50 square foot roll. Set me back all of $104.99 with shipping and also got the free sample of the 50 mil stuff. The guy I dealt with was Blake, sales@gtsoundcontrol.com.

For what it's worth, I did my car using a smaller company called GT Mat. I was happy with their product although be aware that I did use multiple layers in some spots. In some cases, one layer was not enough. But the price was very good and they answer their phone. They have different...

Me too. These are like Steve Mantz's last class A/B design, the culmination of a lot of years engineering and designing all of those great class A/B amps. These are probably the best he ever put out in a class A/B amp. I'd like trying the new generation, too, maybe even at some point as a sub...

Hey guys, I'm running a pair of Zed Audio "The Deuce" amps in my setup. One is for my front stage and one is bridged mono to a pair of subwoofers (dual 4 ohm voice coils on each sub wired in series and then the two subs in parallel to make a 4 ohm load to the amp). I am questioning whether...

I've been looking for a cheap 10" to experiment with in a bandpass box. Really, these are only $30 with shipping and they sound OK????

Gocha, so you mean the buyer is going to cover it himself. That's cool. It looks great man. This is going to look badddd arse installed.

Really nice work. What are you going to cover it with or paint it??

Thanks dude, I'm continuing to make some improvements also. Sorry not many pictures on this build log as of late. I'll be doing some door pods to go under the factory grills in the front doors. What really sapped a lot of time this week was fixing the vinyl on the front of my box. This was...

Well shoot, I didn't make it up to Marysville today as I planned. Just too much going on this weekend and the weather ***** for a car audio show. Hopefully will be able to hit the next one in the area. I think it would be fun. Did anyone else head up there today?
