Thanks for the tips everyone. I packed the edge where the aluminum is attached to the plastic with a strip of butyl using a flat screwdriver to push it in and stuck some of the 2mm mat around the plastic of the door panel and it seems like that's all it took. I appreciate the help!

My 2022 Explorer warranty is up so I picked up a Maestro A2B and Focal 3-way components, and I have an Audison Bit One and amp from a previous vehicle. I was about to start on the install today and did some sweeps with the OEM system just to have a fun listen. I immediately noticed at several...

Is this a problem with the amps that are labeled Made in Korea or China? I opened a bxi600 (county origin not labeled) and the soldering looks much better and there aren't any signs of acid, while the bxi1206 looks aweful with acid blots all over the place.

So anyway... I replaced the caps and hit a few fets that looked like they were cold soldered. Plugged it in and holy crap, it was loud! About 4-5 months ago the amp got quite on me one day, so I adjusted the input. In reality, that must have been when it first started to fail. Anyway, I...

I opened it up and found a blown 63v 3300uf cap. I ordered the caps from Digikey ($2.26) and should have them Friday. Hopefully that's it!

My Brutus started making the sub squeak today, in a way that I've never heard. You really don't notice it until the volume is low (I forgot to unplug the RCA's to see if it still happens). It's not a whiney ground issue, I've had those before and this sounds nothing like that. This time you...

Epic day today. I snapped a picture of the good sub with my phone today. Then looked more in the attic and found the other Eclipse and it isn't blown, the cone is actually two metal pieces and the front came unglued form the back (if that makes sense). I'm wondering if I can carefully epoxy...

I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. Looks like there is a number printed near the terminals, I think it says: 8812

Anyone know the parameters on these? It's been long enough that I can't remember and not having much luck w/Google.

Wayyyy back in the day (2001?) I had two 6ohm Eclipse 12" Aluminum's. One was destroyed by a tool box in my trunk and apparently I put the other (good) one in the attic. I just picked up a 2003 Mustang and was going to put the system together next weekend so I was looking for an old roll of...

I'm curious how the Alpine R components sound, SPR-176A's, I know someone who bought a set and cannot use them because they interfere with something in their door; so they are willing to sell them for $130. Are they worth the $130? I'm running 50wrms w/Alpine 9830 head unit and a single older...

TTT No one has any ideas?

I have had a Pioneer GMX544 for about three/four years now and have never had any problems with it. About a week ago I thought that my front components were dieing on me because they would sound nasty at times, then perfect at other times. They didn't clip, just sounded horrible. This week I...

I'm not sure about the Infinity Bose system.. but I've worked with several Mazda Bose systems which have five speakers, an amp on each speaker and a smaller amp for a center dash speaker. Each rear deck speaker has an input plug with four wires, two are the power wires and the two thinner wires...

Anyone have ideas for the box volume/port dimensions...? Like I mentioned I only have Sub13D to calculate box dimensions. 3cu.ft. box 4"x4" square port 35hz. 19.22" or 8.37" in length 3cu.ft. box 4" diameter port 35hz. 14.86" or 6.29" in length both boxes have a cutoff frequency of...
