Bought these motors and baskets to build a set of subs and have decided to go another route. The baskets aren't exactly the same but they're the same dimension so there's no problem with fitment... just a different number of cooling holes where the motor mounts. The baskets are painted Corvette...

Seat belts aren't bolted to the frame, unless you're talking about a unibody vehicle. Also, seat bolts have thread locking compound on them AND paint inside the female portion. They are notoriously poor grounding points.

"mines at x20" Your crossover is set to 20 times the labeled value. What that means is that if you have the crossover point set to 80 on the dial, it's actually crossed over at 1600Hz. I recommend starting at 80Hz on mids. As for the whine, check all power connections, including those under...

If you have two 2Ω SVC subs, they can only be wired to 1 or 4Ω. As for the difference between the alternator case and the engine, they're exactly the same place from an electrical standpoint... so long as the alternator to bracket, bracket to engine and engine to frame connections are clean and...

I haven't posted anything about the Audio Anarchy Goat in a while so here's a little update...

Another video. This one demonstrates the problem on the "CT" chassis amps and shows another manufacturer's Korean board with the same provisions for vibration dampening... actually being utilized. [video=youtube;jaNmq-O_KaE]

It isn't hit or miss as that would indicate the possibility that some amps have the necessary protection and some don't. And to my knowledge, that's not the case. The thing is, we know that the lack of vibration protection is a problem. We also know that if the amplifier is subjected to...

If you own or are thinking of buying any large CT chassis amps, please read this post and watch the short video I'm including here. I was a CT dealer for a long time but have dropped the line and this post will demonstrate but one of the myriad reasons why I no longer sell the brand. To begin...

I don't know if the issues have been addressed because I dropped the line some months ago and started doing research. All of the large chassis amps, mostly known as the CT chassis, are plagued with vibration problems because there is no vibration damping in the center of the boards where there...

Here's a box I did for two 10s in a customer's Titan:

Your price isn't bad, depending on the quality of the box design and construction. As for the difference between bgowdy's setup and yours, there is a lot more to consider than just the number of subs and the power on them. Deadening, placement, box design, electrical equipment quality and a...

Okay, but is your vent a slot or round vent? Or is the 6.5" number you mentioned the vent area?

You shouldn't have any problem with the vent facing forward in the trunk but I'm curious about the vent you describe. Is it a slot or a round vent? Either way, it's a lot of vent area for a single 8, unless I'm reading things completely wrong. Also, unless that sub is a very low EPB sub, the box...
