Your welcome bro.

I ended up using that fuse holder from a cheap amp kit and i didnt even have to cut the fuse so the top would close //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Holding steady at 15v when its 95 degrees outside.. My batteries arent swelling either

Cool but voltage may go way up when cold out so watch it ! Makes a big improvement huh?

Yeah it helped the voltage too much haha, but i may end up putting a switch somehow between two fuses

Ya that's how mine are hooked up that way I just wait till truck is warmed up before I turn stereo alts on

Anyone had an issue like this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif f4ckin little bolts came out of amp during the time of me banging

Yup I take out every screw and put glue on the threads and screw them back in one at a time.

Another guy made a thread alittle bit ago cuz his amp did same thing.

My amp cut out and i know it wasnt because of low voltage or clipping as my clip light has never turned on.

Thats how i even thought of looking at the amp and noticing the screws. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif amps dont like slo mo..

Also heres my baby flex..

I prob could get more on power, but im in for the killer breathing :l

I ended up removing the fuse holder and back to stock.

Seems after putting a 20 amp fuse instead of the diode my voltage slowly day by day started to rise up to 17v charging!

My batteries were freaking out until i figured it out..

Really ?Hummmmm ? Did you put diode on your stock truck alt ? I only used them on my two stereo alts as there are run independently from my stock truck alt and with .6 voltage drop across diode it tells alts battery are .6 lower than they really are and tells alts to charge harder to make up for the drop. I dont know what that would do to your ECM if you did it to the one running truck electrical? Mine works great 15.2 cold =maybe a tad high 14.6-14.8 hot. You could also run a the sense wire all the way back to your battery's for true voltage monitoring cuz just hooking it too the hot post on alt will tell alt everything is great cuz it always sees 12v there until you get a large voltage drop.

Sooo........ In my luck.....

Back screws backed out and caused the amp to do something. Next song came up and all the subs flexed like they trying to swoll out..

I stopped and i turned the gain knob and every turn i do makes the subs go thump.

Keeping the volume low the subs play fine, but when i go to higher volume it goes flex beast mode and the box ***** in deep and out hard [emoji23] ..

This amp is halfway dead thanks to soundqubed's screw job.

Other side of amp has had no issues with screws.

Time to see if warranty is available.

Also notice the power led is gone....

I had found the screws on the floor and put them back in.

That's your own fault though. Should have glued the screws in so they wouldn't back out the first time it happened. This is the second time so it's on you. That svcks though. U need to make your box stiffer as there is to much vibration Forsure

Nope its not my fault till i actually throw it on the ground..

Screws on the other side never came out so why would this side come out?

From mounting on a single layer 4 18" wall.. Vibration caused it

Nope double baffle on amp side plus another wood same size as amp making 3rd baffle..

The side had little to no vibration.
