    Where can i find some of these?

    I'd rather not buy from ebay but I need 8 of the little guys and 6 sets of the big dudes.

    Upgrade Batteries Or Alternator?

    Smaller pulley will give you more juice at idle. As long as your tensioner has enough adjustments or you might have to modify or build a new bracket

    Alternator overcharging?

    15v is too high for lead acid or agm. You gonna kill your Batts. Could also start burning other **** in the system. 14.4 is the highest you wanna run daily. 14.7 would be the highest I'd let it run at.

    Alternator overcharging?

    Never seen a bad battery cause overcharging. Bad regulators cause overcharging. Colder weather will cause a small rise in voltage. I've got a voltmeter in my HU. Cold start in the morning reads 14.2 - 14.4. By the time I get to work it's 13.7 -13.8

    Best ground question

    **** just ground the batt to both places.

    Best ground question

    I'd say that spot on the fire wall since that braided ground cable goes to the engine, which is where your alternator lives.

    Looking for opinions on my orientation.

    Yea man, I don't really know how to explain it lol. I've pushed it harder and harder waiting for some kind of clipping or bottoming but voltage sag is the limit right now. More cable needs ran. I guess it's just from that Era of underrating amps for competition reasons. It's got "2 ohm stable"...

    How to add Bluetooth to Amp

    I'm guessing that does the same thing as this piece I found on Amazon? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FZ3G7SC/?tag=caraudiocom-20 But also are these going to kill SQ? I'm all FLAC all day.

    Need help deciding on a capacitor

    Your battery is probably on it's way out. If you didn't have voltage drop issues when you first installed and you are now I'd be checking all the + and - connections. Capacitors for sure sound like the easiest way to fix your headlight dimming problem but upgrading your wiring is so worth the...

    How to add Bluetooth to Amp

    Building an over the top boombox with equipment I have collecting dust. Question is that I'd like to use an old smartphone or iPad as the source and it doesn't have enough juice from the headphone jack to go straight into the amp. It works but this equipment deserves much more. With the phone...

    Looking for opinions on my orientation.

    That's what I had figured. Messing with it any further will most likely just make things worse. And then these subs are pretty old. They're solid now and were unused when I acquired them and kept in decent storage conditions. But I'm not expecting them to last forever. After getting TA dialed...

    Crazy idea, any thoughts?

    Hell yea! I made a tube for my old single cab Toyota out of the cardboard tube used to form concrete pillars. Used plywood on the rear and mdf for the speaker side and fiberglassed it. Ran a 8" Fosgate on ~450w. Sounded great. I would think you might want more than glue holding the pipe to the...

    Looking for opinions on my orientation.

    Documentation says for port to be 4" Dia by 10" length per sub. Wouldn't it need to be an 8" x 10" for 2 subs? Or 2 - 4"x10" or math with circles ***** some serious ass.

    Looking for opinions on my orientation.

    PA4002 from like 1999. Still haven't given it all the juice yet. But ran it well above normal listening levels for awhile and even being hidden under the floor in the trunk where air flow can't be good it ain't even get warm. I need to learn all about how to put a dummy load on the amp to set...
