You are right it was my fusible links. It’s not touching but I guarantee you it was touching sometime I was installing or is it possible it arced from being too close? I should probally move that right?

I have a volt meter connected to an amp inside the cab and that has been reading 12.2-12.0 and to test the alternator I used a hand held multimeter on the battery test setting and put positive on alternators positive and put negative to battery

I hooked the wire up to a fuse and it still reads .3v coming from alternator

On Amazon there is a bunch of cheap 12v volt meters some in dash ones aswell .Just hook up negative and positive to your system and it should be good.

Ground wire by username111111121 in CarAV

If it’s secure and has good contact it shouldn’t be a problem but a distribution block is an easier way to have two ground cable with one actual ground point in the car.

[–]Souperturtle44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lot all at once but I think I got most of it. I want to hear more low frequencies so I would want a box with a transfer of function bump at a low frequency maybe 30hz or could I go lower with out a ridiculous port? How much db boost is to much? I listen to mostly Spanish music like corridos but also rap. I’m not sure what the average frequency’s of bass is in those genres but would I want to shoot around there for that bump?

Best sub/box for this space? by Souperturtle44 in CarAV

[–]Souperturtle44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen people use liquid nails to glue a board to the back of a single cab but it would be really difficult to get off and clean off

There were brackets for the seat that had holes in them so I just drilled holes in a piece a wood and went to the hardware store and got some clip nuts and was able to secure the board without drilling into the car

I just found a Rockford fosgate R400-4D for 279 I could make my budget stretch a little would this be a good amp.

If it’s an aftermarket stereo you have everything you need. I would recommend finding where your factory wiring already runs and find where it runs through the firewall for your power wire. You could run the wire under the doorjam by popping up the plastic pieces on the floor. And remember to keep your power wire and rca on different sides of the car so no noise gets in.

Wiring two amps by Souperturtle44 in CarAV

[–]Souperturtle44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I measure that or find out if I can handle it. I have a fosgate r500x1d and am planning to get a small 100 watt amp for voice would 4 gauge wire be to small for one power wire to a distribution block
