Yep. That's exactly what I did. I tried it with my 1/4" flush trim bit, but it didn't leave enough space for the mesh to press the way I wanted it. So I used the 1/2" for more spacing. If that makes sense.

I don't have a picture of the forms, sorry. They've been long gone. I literally just used scrap wood to glue together template, I used double sided tape to secure it to some MDF. Used a 1/2" flush trim bit on my router to cut the design out. Then I took the the piece of wood out of the center of...

Honestly, your truck would be behaving like this without the system as well. That's how the voltage regulation system is designed. When it needs to charge, and upon initial startup, it'll push 15.3 ish and after warmup and when not needed, to "save fuel" it'll drop to the low 13's. I've read...

I'm sure you heard this before, but incase you haven't.... What I did was purchase a HO alternator with the old 4 pin plug (2005 and older I think) then ran the wire from the pin to a switched 12v source to tell the alternator to start working. GM hasn't changed their mounting setup since 1986 i...

Ok. I think I get it. There's really not much to be gained between charging them at say 60% and 100%. At least not on a daily system. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So them my problem is that my alternator charges currently at 14.7 volts. That's lower than 50% isn't it? If I'm assuming...

I have spent the last 2 hours looking around the internet and youtube trying to learn more so I didn't have to ask you this question....I failed lol. How do you read this graph? I saw a couple graphs that look very similar, with the voltage side the same, and the -20 degrees at the top, but the...

My only goal was to go LTO. It seems like 90% of what I read says LTO is the superior chemistry for car audio. I was under the impression that the high 15 volt range would be the sweet spot for an LTO bank. I would sell the SALT amps before I smoked them. People say the go into protect at 16.2...

I have the factory voltage regulation bypassed already. Not knowing much about what I was doing, still doing a lot of learning at the time (and still learning), I bought a Mechman alternator with the 4 pin plug and the little bypass module for the 2 pin stock plug. I should have asked them to...

Ying long cells. 2.3 volt. 10c rating. I'll run 2 6 cell banks. I have the SALT 4's, but I might have to scratch those and get some incriminator amps. They might not like that 16 volts. I can link you the website of the cells if you want to take a look. I haven't bought them yet. Dude that's...

Well, if no one knows if the truck can or cannot deal with 16 volts coming from the alternator, does anyone know how I can test it, to see if it will be ok without frying the electrical in the truck?

I'm fully aware of the RVC controller on my truck, and have bypassed it. Right now, my truck sits at 15 volts cold, 14.7 after it warms up. I'm specifically asking if I bump the voltage coming from my aftermarket alternator, will the truck be ok with 16 to 15.7 volts. I know my system will be...

Has anyone ever ran, knows someone who's ran, or just has good knowledge about voltage, ever ran one of these Chevy's (or something similar because GM rarely changes much) at 16-15.7 volts? I mean to the whole truck. I have a Mechman alternator, and was wondering if I bought and installed a 1...

I'm not trying to insinuate you don't know, but I notice you didn't mention it at all... how did you go about setting your gains and crossovers?

This is a my daily driver, but it would be cool to take out to a comp and see what it does. I'm worried about the cab and the bed shaking from hitting a bump or something, breaking the port of three beauty panel is connected to the port in anyway. Do you think that foam can act as a shock...

I'm worried about the bed shaking one way, and the cab shaking another way going over bumps and sh*t. I'm worried it'll break something if I attach the beauty panel to the port. Should i not have to worry about that? I tend to over think things quite a bit.
