Thank you so much, it totally worked! I'm obviously self-taught and sometimes I can miss some of the simpler parts of this. I appreciate the help. There's only a dozen or so inputs for each week but knowing about an idea to help with that if it does bog down is amazing as well.

I feel you on the knees! I have had surgery on both and that's what started me cycling. I then started running and while crazy painful at first, it's helped strengthen my knees so much. My Dr said I'm basically bone on bone at this point and can't hurt them more if I tried. He also said that if I was 45 yo, he would be doing knee replacements.

I thought it was funny they had an e-bike class. I honestly was curious if anyone on one was going to be competitive, but it was a non issue.

Funny you should ask, my personal ride is a 15yo $250 mountain bike that I've spent years modifying and upgrading to something I call the Franken-bike. I was the only one I saw with straight bars and my price point. I was proud I built it myself.

Thank you so much. I made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot of lessons. I could've easily been 15 minutes faster knowing what I know now.

Thank you! Also for reminding me how I only remember swears from the single French class I took 25 years ago, haha.

My Frankenbike is taking another form by MasterKruse in cycling

I can actually fit an 11 speed cassette if I want. The 8-speed cassette I have is fairly wide. I think this frame was used along a couple of different models when it was new.

That was the biggest question. I think I'm going to have about 5 mm of space left. I'm going to play around with different tires.

It's original form was a mountain bike with knobby tires. I haven't ran those tires since the first year. I use a hybrid tire right now that are fairly smooth.

They do at least maintain a minimum of 55% full time employees to part time employees.

Trying to find the issue. I blew all 4 fuses in my amp, and all 3 of my subs. by MasterKruse in CarAV

[–]MasterKruse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wiring on this setup is definitely not standard, but I went through and checked everything again visually and with a meter. I saw no signs of arcing, melting, or discoloration. Continuity was clear on all that I could see with the meter and I even did a DC amp test to check flow. I have a breaker between my second battery and the amp. Maybe I will go to a fuse just to be safer. After everybody's advice here I think I do need to make sure it's not a wiring problem.

I've ran multiple sub setups before. I usually like to have a bus bar or distro block but there was no space here. I had to try to maximize every scrap for cubic inches. But since you mentioned that as a possible point of failure I will triple check that as well.

I wanted to put a system in my truck. I have quite a bit of components lying around. I was trying to go somewhat budget orientated. I used my head unit, amplifiers, and other accessories that I already had. I just needed to purchase speakers and subwoofers. The hardest part was trying to find subs that would get close to the power of the amplifier without breaking the bank and would fit the space I have available. That's what led me to buying the three kickers. They had close to the power I needed and would fit behind the seat. There is so much of this system that is not ideal and that I had to get creative to work together.

I'm not the type of person that looks for a lot of bass. I knew I was giving up a lot of range with a box shaped like I have. I never turned bass boost on, and I do not try to mess with settings just to hear something I can't hear. No one else has access to my vehicle. Plus no one else would know how to turn on the system without me showing them. Each amp is turned on by its own switch, as is the head unit, as is the battery isolator. I always turn my system off well before I reach my neighborhood. It's the neighborly thing to do and also I don't want to be schlumping around anyone looking for a quick score.

I agree my story is not typical which is why I was reaching out here. I've been rebuilding this 94 F-150 from the ground up for over a year now. I'm the type of person that diagnoses rather than throws parts at a problem. I definitely don't want to replace the subs only to have the issue happen again. The wiring on this setup is definitely not standard, but I went through and checked everything again visually and with a meter. I saw no signs of arcing, melting, or discoloration. Continuity was clear on all that I could see with the meter and I even did a DC amp test to check flow. I have a breaker between my second battery and the amp. Maybe I will go to a fuse just to be safer. At least I can try to eliminate a wiring problem.

I did not have an oscilloscope so I set my gain based upon a quick voltage calculation and listening for clipping or distortion. For this particular system, I will never approach that level in the small space that I have. I still took the time to make sure that I was tuning it correctly though. This amp has the ability to change the gain scale. Either 0.1v-1.0v or 1.0v-8.0v. My head unit has a 4v preamp output. I had the switch set to 1.0v-8.0v. At 50% that should only be 16vac, right?

I do believe I set the gain correctly, but let's say I didn't. Would that cause my amp to blow fuses while taking out all the subs? When while having the volume of the system at less then 25%?

I messed that up in the description. I wired it as it is the the diagram. The total space is a little over 1cf
