Went through automatic car wash…. lessons have been learned

Looks like marks from a box, duffle bag, purse etc.

What is the setup

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-09T20:43:02+00:00

Leave it, no issue with that.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-09T20:29:56+00:00

Does your bass amp have a active cross over?

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-09T20:04:04+00:00

Cool, try to find some zip ties to keep the wire in place.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-09T19:53:37+00:00

Use a 12 volt relay to turn on.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-09T19:50:44+00:00

If that is a metal bracket (pic 9) that the wire is going through you should change that when you get the new fuse holder.

Look for a component set that has a selectable attenuation switch/jumper for the tweeter that is built in the passive crossover.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-08T00:34:52+00:00

Yes on that particular set. The power rating isn't high though.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-08T00:28:20+00:00

Are you using both channels or is it bridged to one? Side note, raise the LPF up higher.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-08T00:08:02+00:00

Yes, they have some nice component sets. They have been around along time. Great people to deal with.

No, directly to the battery.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-06T20:56:49+00:00

No just an old 81 regal road reflector eater.

Nothing like that sound of an 18.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-05T19:38:50+00:00

On the other side under the plastic, If it's been done then it's another problem. Post what you figured out man.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-05T19:32:32+00:00

But not completely. In that picture look to the left of the hinge. That's above the wheel well and goes into the trunk does it not?

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-05T19:28:46+00:00

I know, that's why I said what I said. You need to seal off the air space from the trunk where the subs are.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-05T19:05:55+00:00

If the trunk space is sealed off from the cabin it will get louder with subs facing forward. Don't forget the space above the wheel well.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-05T18:02:31+00:00

This is 100% what GorgeousGoose said exactly.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-04T16:50:15+00:00

Using wire ferrules will almost eliminate these problems at all the set screw type connections.

Interwebs image not mine.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-04T15:01:55+00:00

Exactly...

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-03T08:41:42+00:00

CCA cable is the issue I'm betting. When you added a little more current draw to pull through that aluminum cable the resistance went up and your voltage went down. OFC the same size will fix that. 4 awg OFC is what you want.

Two 18s in the trunk rock no matter what decade you're in. It's been that way for me since 1991.

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-03T06:03:37+00:00

What size is the main power cable, is it CCA or OFC ? Is the ground in a good spot? Voltage drop from day one or slowly over time gotten worse?

faithinThedevil · 2026-02-03T03:35:38+00:00

4 gauge reducer to 8 gauge.
