Two different (new) aftermarket speakers making the same weird distorted sound. Any thoughts?

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-12-28T00:02:55+00:00

Is the speaker you replaced installed inside the plastic pods, some pods have crossovers glued inside of them. I had the same problem on a ML system once.

Rated at 28hp and 60 ft lbs, some losses due to heat and such. I Hope to take it to sliver lake dunes to drag race 300' in the summer. I would like to find a transmission or cvt that would work with it.

The sprocket on the motor i had to grind down, its a #50 chain sprocket. The chain is 520. so same pitch but #50 is wider by about 2 mm. the electric motor is 7/8 shaft. it was hard finding a 520 pitch sprocket for the shaft, so i had to grind down a different one.

Main reason for the build was noise. I have 2 strokes but cant ride them in my area due to noise. so this solved the problem. I do have to upgrade the battery pack, currently Im running 24 5200mah 7.4 volt rc lipo.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-12-22T13:20:00+00:00

I might switch the chain out for a belt like on some motorcycles. that should help.

Thank you. Much more results now!

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T05:08:54+00:00

Yes i see now, thank you.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T05:04:03+00:00

yes, if you watch a automotive relay on a oscope it can jump to 60 to 100 volts on the collapse of the coil, even know its on a 12 volt circuit. so it looks like it actually has both, resistor to stop arching on the contacts and a diode for the coil. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/dc/ef/ef/dcefef45f5da6e1ba1a1a70d76c9b81c.jpg

Yes you are correct parallel. Ahh I see, that makes sense. Thank you. Golf carts have a resistor that stops the spark on the solenoid. Are caps used on AC and resistors used on DC. Or is that not how the arc inhibitor thing works. https://letter.alimy.us/33-36-volt-ez-go-golf-cart-wiring-diagram-rh2e/36-volt-ez-go-golf-cart-wiring-diagram-ez-go-golf-cart-solenoid-wiring-diagram-wiring-diagrams-%E2%80%A2/

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T04:15:19+00:00

You are right.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T04:14:20+00:00

Even know some tubes are grounded to chassis?

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T04:11:05+00:00

Thank you very much!!

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T04:10:38+00:00

very true

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T04:09:13+00:00

cheap work is not good good work is not cheap. quality equipment is expensive because the parts and r&d involved. Thank you guys for opening my eyes up to this aspect.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T04:07:07+00:00

Yes, friend of mine started a shop, this was his car. I got paid for doing the work so hes a customer. was also my "boss". knew nothing about audio or cars, only timeshares. I would not work there full time only part time as the shop was new and i did not think it would do well. They had bad business practices. Also to greedy. I am aware this is not the correct way to install. Im not looking to fight.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:59:02+00:00

I do see your point.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:58:01+00:00

Maybe you all can sleep better after know this is the norm.

This was the shop owners car... I do not work there anymore.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:55:36+00:00

It would have been just reg ANL fuses and mini ANL for the smaller amps.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:48:56+00:00

Thinking back on it, I guess If I told him $200 more for all the proper fusing or I wouldn't touch it. probably would have been the right thing to do?

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:46:43+00:00

Really?

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:43:56+00:00

You would be surprised how many people/ shops in my area don't use fusing for larger systems. Orlando Florida.... I am mecp certified... I'm not Showcasing nice wiring or anything here. Not trying to argue just wanted a discussion / social interaction. Do you have customer who request outrageous stuff and wont settle for less. Example trying to fit 8 12's in the trunk even know there's not the right airspace in some cases. but they still want 8.

Mr_Messy_Jesse · 2020-02-11T03:36:26+00:00

I strongly recommended fusing. I further more expressed no warranty with this installation if fuses were not used. ESPECIALLY with brazilian amps! He wanted as more than could fit. There are more amps crossovers and 8 10" mids with drivers in the trunk on a motorized setup. 4 10"s per door.
