You say that because I didn't seal the enclosures? I was under the impression that with midbass it wasn't as crucial to seal your install off as it would be a sub or something of that nature. I was actually surprised how well they sounded... regarding the tweeters-I'll give the heat shrink a...

the fans are some 4 dollar POS's i bought online and they run as long as the car is on. I've only had the fan's installed for a day now but they seem to be making a pretty big difference. Before i would drive home (about 40 minutes) and the amps would be pretty **** hot (this was without the...

yeah...i was kinda an idiot when i cut the holes for the tweeters through the kickpanel. I used the same hole saw as the one I used for the mdf not thinking. I'm thinkin of makin something to fill that in but when you're in the car, you really don't notice it.

Well after a long long time, I've finally got all my **** installed. I should have taken pictures all along but didn't bother so here's the basic rundown. Eclipse 8445 HU Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1d sub Infinity Reference amplifier Rainbow Soundline SLC 265 components Diamond D3 400.4 amp...

I added some fans for my amp rack and was lookin up ways to do it. Most people seem to recommend a relays to switch the power to the fans but the engineer i worked with used a mosfet (can't remember if it was a P-channel or N-channel but I can post the specific part # if anyone is interested)...

the stereo shop by me has a 1 foot piece of cable that has to be at least 3" diameter. they use it as a doorstop

it was the other way around though....

I made kickpanels for my components so they are down near the floor. I'll be taking pics of my whole system once i get all the details finished. Should be up by the weekend!

Yea i think it was out of phase-it was seriously messing with my head on the way back home this afternoon. lets just put it this way-i'm way impressed that i didn't damage anything when i realized the way it was wired. p.s- problem solved and it sounds 10x better

it was the wiring-i'm a ****in retard.... note to self-when you all the same speaker wire, make sure you mark it so you know what's what....

I just installed my new rainbows and on the drive home from work today I swear that my passenger side tweeter sounded louder than the driver's side. When I got home I started messing with it-reset everything on the HU to make sure there were no time alignment issues and switched the RCA...

awesome- now i'll just need to make a decision shortly between the two...

I've got a 3 and the stock non-bose systems don't have external amps. I've got no reason to think that the 6 is any different but i could be wrong. The square box your seeing may be relays or somethign for your airbag system. As far as hooking up your LOC, yes-it would go right behind the...

Just curious about the benefits of bridging my system. I've got a set of rainbow slc components running off a diamond d3-400.4 amp right now. So according to diamond's manual i've got just shy of 60 watts rms running to them. Forgive my ignorance but what exactly will I gain by bridging the...

thanks for the tip. I was leaning towards the crossover protection as well. In any matter-i dropped the gain a little and haven't seen the problem since.
