Yep and it is in your budget, do the Big 3 get a good sized battery 100AH or better and a voltmeter. Depending on your voltage and stock alternator you may need a HO Alternator.

I was just being a post whore.

Well here are your two wiring options, so your gonna need a 1 ohm stable amp.

It's the AM.

I like the install, good work and good job on the carpet. Do I spy a screwless box, if so .

like that stupid ass cough medicine one...i just read that and it was fucking ridiculous That one and break up hurts takes the cake for the new year so far .

I see I made your sig , yeah stupid threads are starting to become a daily nuisance here.

Thats not even syrup, my friends would get grain alcohol and mix it with cough medicine and got mad at me because I wouldnt drink it. Im from the place where it originated and if you think Im going to take cough medicine over lean or alcohol you are mistaken. Why would you want to be drowsy just go get the real thing. Lean and Syrup for the win, pour up fellas.

Jacob will close this topic when they are all out, so you should still be good if your wanting to get one soon. When this topic is closed then you will know they are all sold out.

Welcome and glad you could join us .

I really like this build, nice simple and clean . I wish I kept the pictures from all my previous builds.

The ground was not a problem before my speaker wire fell out the terminal and hit the power/ground and remote start set of terminals of my sub amp while driving around and system playing. I turned the radio off and back on and my sub amp at the the time was making a continuous thumping like it was playing a certain frequency every other second continuously with the volume on zero (got rid of that amp and those subs). At the same time my sub amp was acting crazy my Sundown SAX-125.2 was also going crazy with the screaching. My head unit is grounded to the chassis of my vehicle where it has always been right under my dash. Well maybe tomorrow I will change up the ground Im bought to go out there in a minute and find out where I can ground it too. It is on the metal bracket holding the dash to the car's chassis.

Welcome and glad you could join us, nice ride

This same exact thing happened to me, but it was a pioneer. I'm guessing it is probably the same problem, some type of internal fuse that was fried when current tried to go through the rcas from your power terminals. This may be the same case for the original poster, the rca might have touched something while you were moving things around. Try grounding the rcas. I did this, it was a temporary fix until I got a new h/u, but it did work. I bought a few rca couplers from radioshack (like these Male Female , hopefully you can find a cheaper place. I didn't want to modify my rca's directly, but you can if you want. I also picked up some small inline fuses, so if it happened again my h/u wouldn't fry. I soldered a wire from the outer part of the rca to the fuse holder. You could then solder on another wire and attach a ring terminal and ground it (I did it to the h/u chassis). Then I just plugged the couplers in the back of the h/u, then the rcas into the couplers. Voila, the noise disappeared. There is always the option of buying a new unit as well if this doesn't work or whatever. I hope this helps!ya well if thats the case a bad fuse iv got a alpine i will wire it up tomarow and C what happens. did you guys get a thump when you hit a button on your deck Yeah I would get a thump every now and then, do you have an MP3 player to hook up directly to your amp to test it like I did?

Thanks maan I figured it was the head unit, I would go through all that but Im just gonna buy a new radio and through the old one in my mom's car since she wont be running amps or anything and her factory one is going bad.

I only have one amp in my car at the moment and I just went outside and did the test again with the car on (accessories on and lights on, I have stepped on the gas pedal to rev the engine) and no noise with the MP3 hooked up to it. Just might have to ride around like that for a while till I get my radio fixed. Thanks man, just to be sure since the sound went away it is all on the head unit as being the source of the problem.

x2, hell definitely have done that one before a couple of times awhile back and using your hand as a guide will never fail.

Do you think my situation sounds like a bad head unit or bad amp or both?

Do all headunits have pico fuse in them or just Pioneer? If all headunits have a Pico fuse in them then why don Pioneers' always fail more than others? I was riding around one day and my one of my subwoofer wires came loose from the terminal and hit the terminals that encase the ground, power and remote wire. So know when my car is on the Sundown SAX-125.2 is now making screaching noise that gets louder with speed or when accessories are turned on or turn the ac to a higher setting. It only happens when the car is on, when the car is off or key in the acc position it doesnt make the sound. I also plugged up my mp3 player and househould boombox to the amp when the car is on and there is no screaching. So Im thinking I must of messed up the headunit somehow, it is a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X492. Thanks for any information bromo and sorry to thread jack.

Fi: read up on the subwoofer it tells you on the main webpage of their site

Now that you say that I thought I seen something on the bottom ring looked like fingerprint smudges at quick glance but now I can see the clear silicone.

x2, everybody has a preference. There will be people on here who wont agree with everyone's equipment selection but if you like it then enjoy it but is there better out there more than likely.

That is what I was thinking awhile back when he first posted these pictures but I figured he did something to compensate for the overlapping.

x2, these are some great looking pictures.

Gavin loves the water. He goes ape shit just getting in the tub, let alone a pool. Well he is going to love swimming then, I hate it when I babysit my neices and nephews that hate or are scarred of water. When it is bath time it is almost a fight to the finish.
