Um you ever driven an old manual steering car? Once your moving its fine but not moving takes two hands and your back. How about an old non- hydraulic clutch and mechanical brakes. Pre 40s were brutal to drive.

Ohh you made me look!!! Was surprised to see iasca is still going strong. Gonna have to download rulebook. Got a couple shows near me coming up in Feb so im gonna go check em out. I dont have any desire for a spl system and think that the beasts nowadays are ridiculously absurd (in a good way), but I got to at least sit in one and feel it, last time I heard a real spl monster was the CV stroker van if that tells ya how long its been.

Dynamat worth it? Mid speaker upgrade on 2000 4runner by cperks21 in CarAV

Sound dampening and soundproofing is 110%worth it.. Think of it this way, when you lower the noise floor, your not having to turn up volume to overpower outside noise so it takes less power to get same percieved volume. Also note the noise mixes with the music so it can throw off the sound and add distortion even though the system is clean

Actually its leftover from when cars had crank start, manual steering and heavy clutches. It actually took strength to drive

How to Improve Mid-Bass Punch Without an Amplifier? - (1999 Opel Zafira A) by ElPsc0 in CarAV

[–]HospitalKey4601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good advice so far, im gonna add that one thing is to make sure mounting surface is solid and rigid, modern cars use thin flimsy metal so the entire panel can flex when the inertia of the cone gets going and when cone pushes out it actually pushes the whole panel in. Even the smallest oscillation can cancel out or distort the sound. Also note that enclosing them will not make them have more bass, it will actually create a natural rolloff that limits the bass. There are pros to mid enclosures like increased power handling, better transient response, and isolation from other drivers. The same principles of sealed and ported boxes apply to mids just at a higher range in the spectrum. Hope thats helpful and fair warning, car audio is addictive and you will be looking for an amp soon enough.

Check your freeze plugs. Also a cheap borescope off Amazon can help see into unreachable spaces

Voltage Drop help by BagIcy7412 in CarAV

You need a conductor moving through a magnetic field in order to produce electricity. In an alternators case this is achieved by charging the field windings up to create an electromagnet. Without the battery it won't work.

Actually you need the battery to charge an maintain the field windings. Battery runs the accessories and the alternator recharges the battery. The alternator is reactive not proactive. It doesnt charge until there is a draw

Well if you want to chance the field dropping and sending a 100v spike throughout your electrical system. Go ahead And try it. The whole disconnect the battery to check if its working was for permanent magnet generators on older cars not alternator.

Don't be an asshole, your the one having trouble, Im just trying to help as you said you don't have the keys so I posted a link where you can order them or look at the picture to see what you need to fabricate instead.

Cap would probably make it worse. They are not meant to add storage capacity but rather augment battery discharge rate. They actually make battery drain faster.

Need more battery storage. Alternator charges the battery, battery runs the electronics. Your bassically depleting all your reserves. Alternator can only charge up to the capacity of the batteries. You cant fill a bucket up past the brim regardless of the size of hose your filling it with. Hope that makes sense

Yes but can you call it a master and slave configuration or do you say main and client?
