8 in ssa sub. I dub the "octocon" !

It was the head unit ground . I used a length of 8 ga ofc and grounded the deck to the firewall . Viola no noise !

I am using the stock location . Not sure where I'm going to ground it . Body ,or straight to the neg on the battery . The body would be a shorter run .

It sounds like a tiny turbo it kinda spools up then goes into a kind of ringing ; then it stops . It kinda reminded me of some of the noise on a cb when the sun has flares .

That's the plan for tomorrow. I did spray all the connections with battery terminal spray . I'm wondering if it's worked itself between the contacts . The noise is just when I turn the radio on or connect with Bluetooth. It's fairly quiet , and kinda builds a bit ; then goes away .

The alt is a new mechman 370. I've reduced it by half by adding short grounds straight to the body from the amp . I think my main ground wires ar to long . I have them straight to the frame . Also I'm pulling the deck ,and grounding it straight to the body instead of the factory supplied wire under the dash. The alt is a new mechman 370.

Nvr mind . I just found the trouble shooting guide posted here on the site .

So as of yesterday I now have a small amount of noise creeping in . Nothings changed . I have two batteries under the hood , both are grounded to the frame with 0 gauge. The alt body is grounded to one of the batteries. All the amps are grounded to a distribution block which is grounded to the frame ,and body . I'm going to check all the connections , but am I doing something wrong. I never had any noise before yesterday.

Welcome!

Ok.... more than usual . My music taste is all over the board . I can't begin to afford all the cds i can stream . I've been happy with Google play ,but lately its been crappy . I'm considering tidal of something else.

Has anyone else noticed google play music streaming , and locally stored music sounding a bit distorted lately?

I agree that I should just run it as designed . I didn't plan for inverted . If I had I would have had the cutout with a little round over to prevent damage . Also I don't want to attract ant extra theft attention . The reasons why not out weigh the reason to .

I had it built for a 33 hz tuning as recomended by Aaron from SSA. You're right ; I'll stick with the original design . Plus I got to thinking that would put the sub above my window line , and might encourage theft .

Meh.. second thought , I'll just install them the way the box is designed for ..

Wait .. what ? I knew it would change the tuning a bit . I assumed it would be a bit lower . I had no idea the you would need to brace different, or design diffrent; well other than airspace . Tbh I'm going to try running them inverted anyway . The worst that can happen is I won't like the sound right ?? I wish I had sprung for a plexI window to show off the great looking subs ....

Thinking of running inverted subs . I've never run that way . Stupid question ... do I wire the same polarity? How will the extra air space effect the tuning ??

Box is done , and should ship out Monday !!!

Looking very good !

Hell yea!! Nice setup!

Wow! Those are nice !

Both of those are sexy !

I think I'm around $600 shipped . That's coated with bedliner . High output enclosures is quite busy too .

I figured it was part of the problem . The other is the fact that overexcursion has torn the surrounds on one of my mids .... I think one of my tweeters has failed as well . I ordered a pair of evil 6.5 . I got the 8 ohm version because I have such a large amp for my mids . I had originally planned to run at least a few drivers on it . The 8 ohm should drop the amps output to like 175 watts . So it looks lie I get to start over once my replacement diaphragm, and mids get here . I sure hope they can hang . These millies are mid bass monsters . I'm hoping to get the surround replaced ,If I can find somewhere to do it ??

I finally figured out how to get into the eq , and put a -1 dip at 1.25k & 3.5k, then a -2 dip at 2k. Helped a ton.

Digital music I've downloaded on my galaxy s5. It was downloaded at the highest bit rate available from Google play music . Transmitted via Bluetooth to the deck .
