Ok so just calculate as normal and put on exterior, gotcha, thanks man appreciate it!

Hi everyone! I was wondering since the calculation of determining the port of your enclosure includes the port displacement on the interior space etc, is there a different formula for calculating a port for the exterior of the enclosure? I figured since there would be more available volume...

Jeffdachef, you are the man! I tried it out this morning and it worked! Now here is where it gets super weird, I unplugged the rca from the amp and put the rca that was previously plugged in back into the amp, ( insert crazy voodoo magic here ) it all works with no issue at all now like I...

Hey Jeffdachef, thanks for the help I appreciate it! I will head out and grab one just to check, I ran the amp from the HU as well though and it did the same thing. For only a few bucks it cant hurt so I will give it a go. Thanks man!

Well I called Skar and spoke with a rep there and went through a few basic things etc, going to get a rma on it and see if there is an issue with the amp itself, I can not think of anything else it could be at the moment.

Also checked power, its getting good power at 14.4 at the amp, tried using different speaker connection swapping to the unused pos and neg on amp ( amp has two pos and two neg terminals but both go to one actual connection inside the amp ). Tried different rca cords as well with no real...

Hi guys, just finally finished installing my system and I am having an issue with my subwoofer. Here are my setup details. Electrical- Mechman ho alt ( 280 ), xs power D5100 all zero gauge power grounds head unit is Pioneer AVH-P2400BT -using fronts as input to dsp (input 1 and 2), as well as...

Hi guys, been searching around for what I should get but answers are always conflicting. Looking for a second battery for a roughly 3500 watt system. I wont be playing it at all when the car is off. I already installed a Mechman 270amp alt and big 3 etc all zero gauge OFC, front battery is a...

I have a Mechman S Series 6 phase 240 amp alternator for 1.7L Civic , Been trying to install it but I am having issues. I can get it installed but it bottoms out on the AC compressor and only gives me less then an inch to play with on the tensioner for the alternator/ Ac belt ( serp belt ). I...

Thanks everyone for your input, I really appreciate it. I think when I am wiring everything up I am going to set it up with an option to add an extra battery in the trunk just in case. I think that is probably the best thing to do at the moment until I get all the wire ran and everything...

Thanks for the reply, I will not really be playing the system with the car off at all, mainly just while driving around. I wanted to make sure I'd be ok with what I have currently. Granted it will not be played at full volume at all times but wanted to make sure when it is, that I don't get...

Hi everyone, I am currently working on the install for a new system in my 05 civic. I have a Mechman 270 amp alt going in as well as all 0 gauge wires. My primary battery is a optima yellowtop. I will be running 4 amps and a dsp in the trunk. Amps Skar 2000.1D running it around 1500-2k...

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good!  Running into a problem and have not found too many great answers for it online.  I have the layer of fleece and resin done over the kick panels.  When I was laying mat on for the first layer of glass I was getting a TON of bubbles everywhere.  Tried...

Dun! Dun! Dun!  Starting the kick panels, they are not the same size "sigh" and I did not want two different sized enclosures for the mid range.  I just used cardboard to "fill in" the area to make it closer to the size of the passenger one and then braced it with more cardboard behind it...

For the sub I went down to a 10".  I made a test box and put it in different areas of my car to see if it sounded good or not etc.  I was going to make a sealed armrest enclosure in the back seat, with the sub firing up and a little to the rear.  It sounded good in testing even at full volume...
