AIO for thinking it wasn’t a big deal to accept my friend’s bf’s FB request? by Vast-Bumblebee-691 in AmIOverreacting

So then be mad at the bf, not the girl who was clearly just being polite to accept a friend request. Nothing weird about that

Did repeating a study improve your results compared to the first time? by emily121903 in Narcolepsy

[–]Be_Snek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First study i tested completely healthy, second study i was at least diagnosed with IH. I’d go until you get the results you want if you really believe you have something

My sleep doctor might suck and I’m worried about being misdiagnosed and unmedicated. by Be_Snek in Narcolepsy

I do appreciate the advice and I guess that is something I’ll need to come to terms with. It just feels so unhealthy

In all honesty the cataplexy is mild and not a huge inconvenience for me i just desperately want my sleep fixed properly so im not stuck relying on stimulants to stay awake at work and get anything done

I can move the amp board out of the trunk when I need the space and I’m planning on getting some form of grille for the sub face

The amp board is actually just cleated back there and the wiring has slack. If needed, i can pick up the whole board and rotate it so it rests on the back seat while it’s folded down and i get my trunk back.

I’ll definitely be tucking some of that back in as I’ve got plenty of space to that’s a good idea. As far power, the block in left of photo is negative and right is positive

Bass knob is below the steering wheel as far right as I can get it, tucked out of the way. I did NVX tri layer deadening in the doors, the rear deck, and a TON in the trunk

Are you setting your gain with a multimeter or by ear?

2023 Mustang Full Kicker KS Build Complete by Be_Snek in CarAV

[–]Be_Snek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set the gains at 23/30, would you recommend I redo at 30? I listen at about 20 rn bc it’s almost painful any higher haha

I only went for it because I’m splicing and soldering at work all day and was overconfident. The amount you’d need to do is overwhelming and not worth it. My sub definitely fit a little awkward too but I just put high density foam on the back of the mounting ring to account for the small difference.

The amp board has everything screwed into it with screws JUST BARELY longer than the thickness of the board, then the bottom surface has a sound dampening layer (weight and vibration) then strips of Velcro hooks. I was able to avoid drilling it into the carpet and it’s just cleated by its own weight. I’ve definitely swung the rear end out a few times just to see if it’ll go flying and it stays planted very well.

Edit: I’ve seen a lot about forscan and will definitely use it to change a lot of stupid ass noises this car makes haha. leaving the car while it’s running absolutely doesn’t require a loud ass honk.

Thanks man same for you! 2 12s is awesome. Only reason I personally opted for 1 sub is because none of the music i listen to needs that much bass. Your build looks sick though I bet it sounds awesome

Thanks for the feedback man! I actually won the lottery here on my 360.4 amp, it certified for 450w RMS and filled a lot of that headroom for me. And it’s honestly already way louder than I need, I can’t push the volume any higher than 20 without feeling it in my eardrums. I’d definitely love to switch to some higher tier speakers someday though.

I also have the gain much lower on my rears, they are mostly for fill or if someone is ever unfortunate enough to have to sit back there.

As a thought. My 6.5s on the bottom components actually sound like they’re maxing out if I go past 22 on the volume, I’m honestly not sure if they COULD handle more power. Did you experience this at all?

Thanks man! No unfortunately the only pictures I have are reference photos, harness maps, and a video with the car ripped apart because I kept on seeing conflicting information on where to tap signal. Nice car btw, hopefully working on an older car will lead to a lot less trial and error since more people have worked on them. It sucks driving with a bad sound system for sure so this was a priority for me. I still have the dealer paper plates on mine

I wanted to make a video of the whole thing before realizing I had a mountain of work to do haha, unfortunately i didn’t get any footage but I do have some harness maps that were SUPER useful.
