    Minor voltage drop after big 3?

    They're top post, when it finally goes out, I'll more than likely pick up an xs battery. Amp is soundstream ref1.1000 powering an idmax10v.4 at 2 ohms. The connection between terminal and post isn't loose, the actual negative post on battery is loose and almost wiggles up out of the battery. It...

    Minor voltage drop after big 3?

    @adulbrich I just added to it, but had to use a different location for the block to chassis ground. That's charging voltage drop with music down low. With music turned up to a good volume, it drops down to mid 13's. I believe the stock alt is 70-80 amps, so it definitely needs replaced...

    Minor voltage drop after big 3?

    So, I just did the big 3 on my 04 Nissan xterra, using 1/0 sky-high ofc. Before, with truck on and running, batt was generally charging at around 14.4v, afterwards it's generally around 14-14.2, I hammer crimper and soldered all connections, and sanded down all grounding points. I'm assuming...

    Wiring subwoofer, better way?

    Hi, wanted to see what you guys thought. Going to be hooking up an idmax10, and it will be inverted in a tline. Will be wiring the sub at 2ohms, and would like to know if there's a neater/better looking way to wire the speaker wire to sub from the amp. Is there something I can use to connect the...

    Amplifier Installation, need help!

    I may just try that, I've been looking at the black and decker matrix set. Thinking of making a rack that will allow the amp to sit recessed in it, sideways, as if it were mounted to the side of the box. Will just be tricky working around the wheel well there. Thank you guys, definitely...

    Amplifier Installation, need help!

    That's what I was thinking. Granted it's not a whole lot of power, but I would rather not mount to the box. I could try to build an amp rack that would fit beside it but I'm not sure if I have the equipment or know-how to make it functional and pleasing to the eyes lol.. guess I will either try...

    Amplifier Installation, need help!

    My build is still in progress, so nothing is hooked up yet. Still need sound deadening supplies and wire. But I decided to test fit everything for now and see exactly how I'm going to do this. The subwoofer is an IDMAX10V.4, in a custom tline enclosure from CSCSTang. Amp is a Soundstream...

    Custom Sub Box

    Another vouch for @CSCStang, had him build a tline for my idmax10v.4. Beautiful box, and some of the best shipping/packaging I've dealt with. He kept me updated, sent pictures of the process, and answered any questions I had. Not to mention the great price.

    Will this work?

    So I've got a 2004 nissan xterra, and am in a predicament. I have an idea, but would like someone's opinion. I have some 5.25" hat unity midranges, and tweeters for my front stage. I would like to add some midbass to that as well, however, there is little room to add up front in this truck. I...

    Which midbass speakers to match...

    I'm thinking I could either seal off the side pockets and fabricate pods, or fab some pods possibly in the a pillar or dash... And yeah, I actually bought the 5.25's for another car, that didn't work out, and now I'd like to put them in here, or possibly try and move to the 6.5's. I have been...

    Which midbass speakers to match...

    I've got big plans for my 2004 Nissan Xterra. In the future, I will be looking for some midbass to add to my front stage. As of right now, I have HAT Unity 5.25"s for the midrange, along with the Unity tweets which will be on axis along my A Pillars. I am currently having a custom tline box...

    Just picked up an amp, need help lol.

    Alright, so I just picked up a Soundstream Reference 1000.1 for $150. Just curious as this will be my first real setup, and I am trying to get everything together. So, finding the right fuse for my ppi350.2 was easy, but for this ssref1000 I can't for the life of me find out what fuse I should...
