  1. So, as this is only my second car, and I haven't managed to roll this one yet, I've had enough time to start needing to maintain my truck lol. I'm about to order new rear shocks tomorrow since my rear left is the lowest point on the car, like two or three inches below the front left and rear right, and want to know if any of you guys here who are significantly more mechanically inclined than myself, can you recommend me any better than these for the price? http://m.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/61A2642A0A0.aspx

    Replacing my rear shocks on my 98' Neer

    she sits like that with no load. It changes a little day by day. Some days it's damn near level.

    Dual 12" Xcon Box

    For the time being, try polyfill and a port plug, they'll probably sound better sealed than poorly ported

    Site updated

    I wasn't entirely sure if it was on my end, since I haven't been on this site on anything but mobile for almost a year, but ditto. It looks dope, but it chokes up my HTC something awful. However, it's only sometimes.
  8. Should I still bother with a frame ground if all my amps have direct positive and negative from the battery? My sub amp current has direct runs to the battery of 1/0, which are both less than ten feet.
  9. I have rock solid voltage at full tilt with just my runs of wire, which is adding to my confusion lol
  10. Chassis ground..Or should really be considered a common... The big three will lower the resistance of the chassis..Return path flows better with low resistance as any electrical current..Other words keeps the resistance from changing "when you use you acessories"..This I have stressed on several forumsAre you saying it helps to keep the entire vehicle as a common ground?
  11. I can drill a hole for a frame ground and get more wire, but before I do, can someone help me understand how it'll be better than a direct line? I'm not understanding. I know grounds should be short, but if my ground is shorter than my power, what's the issue? I have less than ten feet of zero gauge feeding an orion XTR 5002 (soon to be a PPI900.4) bridged at two ohms, mounted under the passenger dash. When I buy my royal excelene 4/0 I was also planning direct lines to the rear bank, then from the rear bank to the amps. I'm using 4/0 for every amp, with reducers to fit the terminals.
  12. I'm a foot and a half short lol.
  13. I thought it was better to have neg and pos runs from front to back Same. I have plenty of room for runs anyway.
  14. Got my ID fifteens in the Neer on 50w apiece tonight, what a damn tease. These sound so nice...

  15. Found a 220a for my truck for around 350, and I only plan on about 3500rms total for the Near future. I don't have anything against starting the upgrades with the alt. Despite a decent price on one locally, I emailed singer this afternoon to see what he could cook up for me.
  16. I can pick these suckers up for 195 each locally, 12v and something like 1200cca ea, anyone every used these before? https://m.interstatebatteries.com/product/26-4163958589-4163958502-2147384763-4294492278-4251616327-4163992330-4163958586-4163958484-2147384903/8D-MHD Considering two for my truck because the price is DUMB considering they're 130lb deep cycles.
  17. Reserve until I can afford to move up to a lithium.
  18. Are they agm batteries?I'm pretty sure the location I went to has agm and standard. Definitely following up, since I want to mount them sideways to save depth.

  20. Any reason I should avoid them?

    Speakerboy's new Whip

    Just scooped a '98 Mountaineer this morning. Has the 5.0, it's AWD; feels good to be off the shoelace express Plans are a singer 240a, some royal excelene, a juicebox 20ah under the hood, Three SI mag v3 12's sealed (amp undecided), silver flute 8's in the doors, and hlcd's under the dash on a PPI 900.4. Doors first, but intend to fully dampen the cabin, mlv, ccf, cld, and foam. Want to sniff out an 80prs and snag a minidsp also. I'm so geeked.
