For anyone doing electrical work, and Lord know's I've done a bunch, that thread is what nightmares are made of.
Took a good long time to forget about that thread, and there it is again. Now I have to take a day to look over my work.
Thanks, Bud.
I run 17ft of 1/0 AWG cable to a rear distribution block. Never had any luck finding a lug that was narrow enough to fit, so I just took a Dremel and trimmed down the lug until it made flush contact with the bus bar.
Start with 1/0 AWG, 1/4 stud.
I know Stinger demonstrates using the seat bolt when using their amp rack, but that's definitely not an appropriate grounding point.
No issues for some, big issues for others. Flip a coin...
I hear ya, but it may have been a different story if that were a 50mph collision.
Besides that, over 20 years ago, body shops were different, and so were cars. Back then, we had engines with a few electrical components. Nowadays, we basically have a computer with an engine mounted in it.
Over...
In my experience, vehicles are never the same following an accident. Down the road, I would expect the aftermath of that collision to reveal itself in suspension issues, alignment issues, motor mounts failing prematurely, and the list goes on.
At 50mph, personally, I would advocate for a total...
The enclosure from MTI is only $200 more than the pre-fab enclosure. No tax, no shipping, and in your case, you can't put a price on the cargo space saved.
If you think $500 is too much, you don't want to know what I paid for my MTI enclosure... 🤯
There's more than a few problems with a pre-fab enclosure.
One, you're limited to finding a subwoofer that matches the cut-out diameter. For example, a JL 12TW3 has a cut-out diameter of 11.625", and an Audiomobile 2412 has a cut-out diameter of 11.00".
Two, when you actually find a subwoofer...
It'd be far more than $10,000 for a V8 option. Ford would need to include a new PCM, exhaust, radiator, transmission, driveshaft, differential, rear axle, etc. The list goes on and on, not to mention new harnesses and wiring. Hell, new suspension would be needed to handle the extra weight of the...
Depending on the size of the amps, the amp rack from MTI Acoustics will allow you to mount an amp on the front and back of the amp rack.
3 amps in my system; 2 mounted on the MTI rack, and 1 under the passenger seat.
The best advice that anyone could give you regarding DSP is to download the software, play with it, and go with the one that is the most intuitive and/or makes the most sense to you.
Outside of that, without knowing anything about your existing integration, it's difficult to diagnose your system.
