Hey, much appreciated. It's not on your level. but it's workin'!

[emh9009 199]

So, got my Monoprice RCAs in today. Quick swap from the Knu eKos that i didn't like for some reason. Not too exciting for y'all but i had fun! took some pics. to boot!

Starting to remove the old. I thought i had a pic. of how bunched it all looked. but i guess not. this is with the 2 RCAs for the 100.4 removed.

They are 6 meters long? In a CRX that's crazy. I got 10 ft. ones and they are still a little long. Probably could have went with the 6, but i figured better longer than too short.

And after.

mess i later neatly wrapped and twist-tied. Anyone wanna' buy some RCAs?

[emh9009 199]

So i've got a bit of alternator whine. Started when i put the front stage in, seemed to only came from the right mid. Now with the new RCAs it's coming from all the front stage. mostly in the right side mid.

So i unplugged RCA to channel 3, that took away some whine. Then channel 4 as well. All the whine is gone. Does this mean it's the amp's RCA inputs going kooky? Hope not. The heat sink is touching some bare metal, would that create some issues? i can't test that right now, but i believe i have before and it didn't change anything... Any ideas? :ughdunno:

Just took the whole time to look through your build... Wow, some really good information here! I really like what you did with your Honda! I can't wait till you put some more power into those bad boys! Great work and you got me hooked!

Whay kinda numbers does this do??

I'm always on the look out for crx builds looks great. Here is a peak at mine Bone white Rex I would appreciate any box plans you have collected. Yours as a ground pounder looks sweet for mine watch out for a full on spl beast. I will be ordering a custom case machined 270 amp alt within the next 4 weeks if you hold off you could piggy back and purchase when I order mine. The custom case will be for an ac replacement. 270 amp... if your interested shoot me a pm and I'll keep you posted oh and it will be a mechman external regulator capable of up to 18volts.

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Are you saying the amp is screwed to bare metal? If so, yeah that could be your ground noise. Put some MDF under it.

Ground loops suck, basically you need to just start unplugging shit and tracing it down. How is your HU grounded, factory ground wire? If so, ground it to bare metal at the chassis

[Soapbox 7]

I ran a dedicated ground to the center console metal.

thanks more power may just have to wait. my alt. completely died on my 8 hour drive across state last night.. getting a cheap-o replacement to hold me off 'till i get home.

I wonder the same thing. Waiting for some type of reasonably priced meter that i can snatch up. I've seen the start of promising units. I'm waiting patiently. There is a comp. that i hope to attend in august. Only comp in my state all year lol hope i can get some numbers then.

Ill defenately check that out, dont have the time right now, but i love CRX builds as well, duh! Not too familier with "piggy back" orders? You mean i order the same thing, any discount with that?

Nah, not screwed to bare metal. Its not even screwed down yet. I know i need to get some MDF cut and get it secure, im just going a million miles right now. Cant seem to find the time. I've relocated the HU ground to bare metal, nothing changed..

[emh9009 199]

I ran a dedicated ground to the center console metal.

I've done the same. On one of the bolts that holds a metal piece in place for the plastic console to screw into. (to the chassis metal, not the support metal.)

[emh9009 199]

Went down to O'rilies today and got their only alt that would fit my car. I'm across state so i have no tools or anything so i cant even attempt to swap alts out on my own. Have to find a shop to do it tomorrow morning. Was really hoping to get this done yesterday, i have to go back home tomorrow. Dont want to miss class tuesday if i dont have to. Hopefully i can find someone to start on it ASAP in the AM, get it done before noon. 8 hours of driving after that.

[emh9009 199]

Got some goods in the mail!

10 ring terminals

XS power FTW

DC sports 4-2-1 header to help with the extra weight? lol

[edouble101 314]

XS Power and DC Sports ftmfw!!!!!!

[emh9009 199]

Went over to Paul's for a little bit last night and we made some bus bars. Too many terminals on a single post.

[emh9009 199]

Paul's a plumber, so we just took a 6" pipe, cut it in half, heated and hammered it flat, cut it to fit and hit it some more to bend it. Works well if i do say so myself

[emh9009 199]

XS Power and DC Sports ftmfw!!!!!!

That's what i was thinking thanks

[emh9009 199]

Car is getting header on as i type this. Pics later tonight.

[emh9009 199]

Little before reference. Kinda' an old pic. before i scrubbed the valve cover with a tooth brush and rag. But that's not what's important. That heat shield is about to be GONE!
