Forgot to post images in this thread. I'm not done, but most of the way there. I still need to tune amps and install the full box/amp rack. Here are a few pics.

Gotcha. Any idea what setting to use on the MM? The pic I posted was the highest positive number I could find.

The way I understood it, it was "Voltage = square root of watts x ohms". So for mine, 90watts, it would be sq. root of 90 is 9.5. 9.5 x 4 ohms = ~37volts. I don't remember what the MM read when I turned the gains up.

More work done today.. I retried the amp tuning with no success. I disabled the crossover on the highs amp. I set it on the HU. All eq set to zero. When I check voltage its either very low or a negative number on the MM. I don't know the right setting to use on the MM, so I just turned the...

Thanks. I hope to get the rest done today. I will just disable the amp crossovers and do it thru the HU. On the highs amp, I will try the multimeter thing again. Hopefully it will work this time. I am running 90 watts at 4 ohms. I am assuming the result should not be the gain set all the...

So you suggest setting the highs amp to full range and set the HU crossover? How about the mono bass amp? Same thing or use the amp crossover? Or Both? Are you saying the "remote" knob with clip indicator process is a good one to set the mono amp gain? For wiring, I bought it all separate...

My HU is Kenwood Excelon KDC-X799. I saw a HPF mention in the HU, but I need to make sure it will apply to the right RCS outputs. I have Front, Rear, and Sub. Front and Rear outputs are going to my highs amp, but I am only using 2 channels right now. On the HU is mentions "bands" on the...

So I have the polk component set installed and I setup the amp today. I will post pics. I followed this article to do the right kind of tuning on the gains and such on the amp. How to Adjust Amplifier Gains Using a Digital Multi-Meter | Learning Center | Sonic Electronix I could not get this...

I just bought (2) Sundown SD-2 8" and am putting them in small sealed boxes. I noticed the woofers do NOT have any kind of foam stripping around the surround/mount area so I am concerned about having leaks between the sub and the box. My box is going to be vinyl covered. Should I put weather...

Understood. I ran 1 set of speaker wires into each door. It was a huge pain to get thru the drivers door grommet and into the cabin. I don't think I could do it again. With this config, I had planned to store the crossovers in the door and have the woofer and tweeter in the door as well...

I am trying to. I just don't want to spend a lot more time trying to find a place to mount the crossovers and tweeters. This build is taking forever.... So any ideas on tweeter and crossover mounts are very welcomed. Can the Polk DB's be angled? On a side note, I bought all accessories that...

I'm trying to figure out where to mount the tweeter and crossover. The door looks nice, but I don't see a good place for the crossover. We only ran 1 set of cables into the door, so I am hoping to not have to run another. The driver side was terrible to do. On the polk DB tweeters, do you...

So I didn't get finished today. More to do.... I have a couple questions though. I have the Soundqubed 1200.2 and 90.4. Both come with a remote control that is a knob and connects with a phone wire. Is this a volume control or what does it control? I only ran one for the sub amp. How do...

Nevermind. I found a company called Darvex that I ordered them from. Thanks anyway. I am hoping the upholstery shop will be a decent price and can use the vinyl I bought and cut. Now I just need to decide if I am going to install everything on just wood, and then pull it all apart to get it...

I wanted to have it finished by tomorrow, but its not gonna happen. I am going to ask an upholstery shop about doing the vinyl on Monday. I may hook it all up without the vinyl and see how it sounds tomorrow. I have a question... On the amp rack, I want the cables to cleanly go thru the...
