    Welcome to the IHoP

    Learned that there's an 85% chance that my 35 year old uncle has ALS. They won't know for sure until he sees a specialist, but we hope it's not hereditary since he just has his first daughter 15 months ago.

    IDK What Happened

    Go through ALL of your wiring to make sure everything is tight (that includes taking your sub out and checking those too).

    150 on music goal

    First thing that comes to my mind is a couple of BL 15's. 4 SA-12's sound like they would work well too. If you could up your budget a little bit i would say two btl 15's though. Are you planning on competing at all?

    What's your low pass filter set at?
  7. thor02

    BL hits lows but not so much highs

    The change in output you describe makes me think you have the low-pass filter set lower than your liking. Check the set frequencies on your amp/head unit.

    Please help me figure this out...

    Alright i switched my rca's around on the amp and i got each speaker to play correctly. I also ground my head unit to some metal in the dash. The reason my head unit was shutting off was due to a faulty new ground for the front battery. I used some "dielectric grease" or something like that because i could never get a great connection before. Well it turns out that the nut for the strut tower bolt is painted, so i just grinded that shit off and shazam, good connection and power to the whole system without using that grease. I am still getting crackling from my tweeters on most songs. These songs are 320 kbps, so not shitty by any means. I don't know what else to check to fix that.

    I haven't checked those things yet, but that doesn't explain why my head unit was shutting off if i turned the volume up.

    Just triple checked and they're good.
  12. I just finished installing my first amped set of components, and i have a few problems. The components are being ran bridged from a 4 channel (channels 1+2 and channels 3+4) The gain is matched to the head unit voltage (2 volts), and the ssf is being used as the hpf for the comps and the switch on the amp is set to "full". The rca's are hooked up as followed: Front left @ hu to ch1 @ amp Front right to ch2 back left to ch3 back right to ch4 I used this same head unit (alpine cda-105) with my "old" system without the components but with a subwoofer. There were no problems with the system then. I am using the same ground in the rear that i have been using for my sub amp. I just used a distro block to run 4 gauge to each amp, with 1/0 going to the grounding location. The main power wire is 1/0 with a distro block going to 4 gauge to each amp. When i first turned the system on i noticed sound was only coming from the left side, plus the sound was horrible, almost like a crackling. I turned the head unit up to volume 8 and it shut off and restarted. When i turned it up to 5 i could see the head unit's illumination dimming with the beat of the music. Any help is appreciated. If i missed any info just ask.

    Slap some 10 or 8 gauge on those bad boys and you'll be good to go.
  14. The 2 gauge kit will work with that. The amp does accept 0 gauge also just in case you wanted to go bigger.
