8 in ssa sub. I dub the "octocon" !

So as of yesterday I now have a small amount of noise creeping in . Nothings changed . I have two batteries under the hood , both are grounded to the frame with 0 gauge. The alt body is grounded to one of the batteries. All the amps are grounded to a distribution block which is grounded to the frame ,and body . I'm going to check all the connections , but am I doing something wrong. I never had any noise before yesterday.

It was the head unit ground . I used a length of 8 ga ofc and grounded the deck to the firewall . Viola no noise !

I am using the stock location . Not sure where I'm going to ground it . Body ,or straight to the neg on the battery . The body would be a shorter run .

It sounds like a tiny turbo it kinda spools up then goes into a kind of ringing ; then it stops . It kinda reminded me of some of the noise on a cb when the sun has flares .

That's the plan for tomorrow. I did spray all the connections with battery terminal spray . I'm wondering if it's worked itself between the contacts . The noise is just when I turn the radio on or connect with Bluetooth. It's fairly quiet , and kinda builds a bit ; then goes away .

The alt is a new mechman 370. I've reduced it by half by adding short grounds straight to the body from the amp . I think my main ground wires ar to long . I have them straight to the frame . Also I'm pulling the deck ,and grounding it straight to the body instead of the factory supplied wire under the dash. The alt is a new mechman 370.

Nvr mind . I just found the trouble shooting guide posted here on the site .

Welcome!

Has anyone else noticed google play music streaming , and locally stored music sounding a bit distorted lately?

Ok.... more than usual . My music taste is all over the board . I can't begin to afford all the cds i can stream . I've been happy with Google play ,but lately its been crappy . I'm considering tidal of something else.

A sneak peek of my new box . It is being built by Dave Marin of High Output Enclosures. It will be bed lined with a red port perhaps. It will have 5.0 cu ft net ,and is tuned @33 hz . I have two options for power . I can continue using two p1000x1's both have birth sheets of 1500 watt's , or I can use a synergy wfo 3500; but it'll have to be run at .5 ohm since I have dual 2ohm xcon 12's . Should sound great either way .

I agree that I should just run it as designed . I didn't plan for inverted . If I had I would have had the cutout with a little round over to prevent damage . Also I don't want to attract ant extra theft attention . The reasons why not out weigh the reason to .

I had it built for a 33 hz tuning as recomended by Aaron from SSA. You're right ; I'll stick with the original design . Plus I got to thinking that would put the sub above my window line , and might encourage theft .

Meh.. second thought , I'll just install them the way the box is designed for ..

Wait .. what ? I knew it would change the tuning a bit . I assumed it would be a bit lower . I had no idea the you would need to brace different, or design diffrent; well other than airspace . Tbh I'm going to try running them inverted anyway . The worst that can happen is I won't like the sound right ?? I wish I had sprung for a plexI window to show off the great looking subs ....

Thinking of running inverted subs . I've never run that way . Stupid question ... do I wire the same polarity? How will the extra air space effect the tuning ??

Box is done , and should ship out Monday !!!

Looking very good !

Hell yea!! Nice setup!

Wow! Those are nice !

Both of those are sexy !

I think I'm around $600 shipped . That's coated with bedliner . High output enclosures is quite busy too .

I figured it was part of the problem . The other is the fact that overexcursion has torn the surrounds on one of my mids .... I think one of my tweeters has failed as well . I ordered a pair of evil 6.5 . I got the 8 ohm version because I have such a large amp for my mids . I had originally planned to run at least a few drivers on it . The 8 ohm should drop the amps output to like 175 watts . So it looks lie I get to start over once my replacement diaphragm, and mids get here . I sure hope they can hang . These millies are mid bass monsters . I'm hoping to get the surround replaced ,If I can find somewhere to do it ??

So, I'm currently using the time alignment feature on my prs80. Tweeters are on the pillars about eye level .The mids are in the doors , in the stock location . I was thinuking of adding a pair of hertz esk 165 in some qform kick panels . I would be wiring them parallel to the doors . Would time alignment be affected significant enought to cause a problem .?The kicks would be about 8 in farther away, and almost on axis .
