Ok so I got her all fixed up.. The prob was the GROUND for the ALT and the BATT...I loved my GCON from the moment I hooked her up but now, it's on a whole other level !!! Thanks guys for all the tips and suggestions. Also, I WAS clipping the shit outa my amp, LITHIUM EXPLAINED A FEW ISSUES TO ME THAT I HAD COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD (gain setting, clipping ect...) long story short, everything's GOLDEN! Thanks guys -

I'll also see if I can find a better Location for a shorter ground...

Ok I'll check the existing connections and order some lengths of OFC today and go from there, thanks guys.

Thanks, wasn't 100 percent on where to post it so I did it in both, won't do it again if u guys don't like it...

Amp is grounded to a bolt in the trunk sanded down to bare metal at contact point with washer and bolt..should I try a different ground point for the amp? Along with checking the alt and batt grounds? Ground is 2.5 foot ofc 4 ga knuconcepts.

Hey guys, I have an 03 BUICK CENTURY v6. I recently put in a 12 in SSA GCON . Built a custom box 2.25 net @33 hz slot ported. Ran all ofc knuconcepts 4 gauge. Monster rca's . Active loc and factory head unit. Amp is a Rockford prime 750.1 running at 1ohm into the GCON... Now u know what I got, well last nite I got her all hooked up, went to test her out, and every time my bass hits my headlights blink with the bass! I hate cars with systems that do that... Can anyone tell me why?? I was told I would be fine running factory elec with 750 watts? Even less actually because I barely had the gain up cuz my GCON is brand new! Even at low-moderate volume it is doing it.... What do I do??? Sorry for the essay! Lol

You mean brain damamagamage? Oh I don't got nona that.

Looked up the pcm alt... But I don't see how that is a prob. Can anyone explain?

No I thought I'd b cool only runnin 1 12 at 750 watts on stock electrical... At least that's the advice I got. What is a pcm alt. Btw I know my batt is good cuz it's like a year old...

Thanks guys! I'm diggin this forum. Never mind on the amp question, I went with a Rockford prime 750.1 to run my GCON d2... Got everything installed and absolutely love it! Only one problem, headlights are blinking with the bass even with the gain at less than half! Any advice on what to do/check. I started another thread about it called HELP A BROTHER OUT in general audio... Help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone! My names Mitch and I'm a non-recovering audioholic... Lol. Im getting back into car audio after not having the time for it the past 8 years! Im sure I'll have many questions for my build and I am very glad I can depend on SSA for dependable info and products!!! Thanks in advance for help. My build is in a 2003 Buick century, I'm sticking with one 12(already bought the GCON). All that's left is the amp. Ps my GCON is d2... Any help on narrowing it down would be great!

It shakes a whoooole bunch!!! Lol sounds like a fun build...

Denim, I saw on a thread while browsing a few days ago a few of the guys that I consider VERY knowledgeable were talking about the GCON. One of the guys said he was getting one and the other guy said "make sure you get the d4 not d2" the other guy said he "wouldn't have it any other way." My question is... Why did he recommend the d4 if the guy buying is only getting a single 12?? Are the d4 t/s more desirable or somethin? -sorry for the essay!

If we all thought like this guy, the world (especially Internet forums)would be a better place indeed!

Recommended by a friend, bought some products after doing some research... So naturally I joined the forum! Can't wait for my new GCON!!!
