With or without the rca's to the amp?

Did you check your wires?

Someone in the Peoples Republic of Virginia I guess. Whoever it was, was wearing a red flannel.

1/4, 1/2, whatever that isn't right. Set your gains with a DMM and a test tone cd. You can also do it by ear, but since that's what you basically did above my recommendation is to use a DMM. Hard to be of any other help, since you never told us if the noise went away when you turned down your gains...

Sweet!! I'd love a GT.

I love surprises like that.

Right by my neighbors, some idiot had "parked" an newer Audi into a decorative neighborhood brick wall. Knocked most of it over...I must have just missed it as people were just running to the car to help, 8 cars had stopped though so I drove on.

Oh, can I add how much I hate B Buy. Jeez almost a friggin' wally world in there.

Just got back from Bbuy with a different sat. kit, I really don't want to take the damn truck apart twice. Once is enough. Makes me want to make my sub boxes to mount in a more modular frame so that they can be removed and swapped more easily.

Sweet! Welcome!!

2.5 rolls of Raamat, 9 yards of Ensolite, and 3 yards of 3M thinsulate acoustic insulation are now in the truck. I started to do the wiring, but 1) it started to rain, 2) friggin' too many wires for dual 12 to go through drivers door thingee, 3) arsehole beyotches I bought my satellite carriage through sent me a bad antenna, 4) most importantly it is Saturday night Have to help one of my homies move tomorrow to, so I won't have a lot of time to do much but I have to get the interior back in so the M can go back in the garage. And yes, I'll post pics but not until I am further along.

I've got glue all over my fingers

Nice work, and as you know from boxes the smoother you spread it on in the first place the less of that god awful sanding you have to do.

Off to lay layer one, hopefully someone will input /\ before I get done with it...I know I'd sure appreciate it.

Turn your gains down....you really, really, really shouldn't run them at full level unless you like the sound of distortion and the smell of burning voice coils.

Your "common sense" isn't right. It is very possible and HIGHLY encouraged to get loud in your car while trying to be as quiet as possible outside. My car has more than 60dB transmission loss from the interior to the exterior which means that at 140db inside the car it will be at pretty normal conversation levels outside. My system isn't super loud, but it will get louder than I will ever listen to it and you can't hardly hear it outside at all which is the way it is supposed to be.

You guys cover the "breathers" when you deaden? I've never deadened a truck before and instead of breathing into the trunk these breath outside. I am sure they are large source of noise that I want to elimate, but not sure if there are any negative ramifications of closing them off completely. I could just cover them with some acoustic insulation, but I could also seal them with mat. What to do....

Only baseball has a lot of other things that make it that way too.

Same thing that makes baseball ghey, hard to watch.

US is in a hard group because of the inflated rankings, not like we could do anything anyway.

Yes, sweet indeed. Come on Dave sell some cars and make some cash quick.

/\ he wasn't talking about his battery. But yes, fuse both sides its cheap insurance.

Come on, someone help me procrastinate. My coffee ain't here yet.

Is one not enough? I just imagine that poor Corolla shaking apart.
