    Quick question about agu fuse and alt.

    No, its not for the big 3.. Its for the main fuse after the battery for my power wire that is going to me dist. block in the back for my 2 amps.. I was thinking.. since my alt can only do 70 amps... I should be fine with a 80 amp fuse and a AGU type fuse holder which is more about 3/4 price of...

    Quick question about agu fuse and alt.

    so iam guessing...if my alt doesnt do more than 70 amps... its not worth it to spend the extra cash on higher rated holders and fuses.. since the system would only do max 70 amps right?

    static while raising and lowering volume

    Well the place that installed the HU used an adaptor plug from my VW wiring to my alpine HU.. so I guess it doesnt have its own dedicated ground nor power wire, its all in one plug going most likely to the fuse box... so i guess i'll try running it's own dedicated bigger power wire with a fuse...

    Sealed Box Type Rs

    I guess it all depends what you want as sound and space requirement. I prefer SQ over SPL and I have a small golf GTI, so my trunk space is limited..So I didnt want a bigger ported box. Also the fact that I have a small trunk helps with the bass. I got an 10" R and I tried a ported box and a...

    Sealed Box Type Rs

    That quote should be...kotec123 hates type-r's in a sealed box because he likes a ported SPL rather that small sealed SQ box. The type-R is perfectly fine in a sealed box, it all depends on what your friend wants in sound and the space available.
