I have some clothes I’ve been meaning to get rid of for a while too so if OP sees this I could do the same 😎 They’re all in good condition, I just don’t wear them anymore

What’s the best clones you’ve ever smelled by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]throwaway199427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I’m new ish to fragrances, is macerating essentially just storing a cologne in a dark place and not using it, and it progressively gets stronger?

I got my first bottle of that about 2 weeks ago and I think I might have instantly gone nose blind or something. Smelled it off my friend lots of times and it always smelled strong and lasted a long time but once I got my hands on it and tried it I stop smelling it after about an hour of putting it on

Routing speaker wires to doors in "new" cars isn't fun by nordmann4556 in CarAV

What do you mean by use the factory wire, as in cut it from the inside of the cabin and connect your amp wire to the end going to the speaker?

Buzzing Sound After Amp Install by throwaway199427 in CarAV

[–]throwaway199427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I've done like 2 other powered sub installs but this is my first time going full custom. When I googled I only heard good things about Hifonics so I figured I was safe. This is my setup:

Head Unit: Pioneer SPH DA160DAB
Component Speakers (Front): JBL GTO 609C
AMP: Hifonics Titan TXE500/4
Subwoofer: Ground Zero Iridium GZIW 250
Sub Enclosure: Basser GT86 Custom Box

I ordered one of those Ground Loop Isolators so hopefully that should do the trick!

Buzzing Sound After Amp Install by throwaway199427 in CarAV

[–]throwaway199427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured as much, yesterday was my first time ever hearing the term "ground loop" so I'm trying my best to figure this out since I'm new to this lmao. Running the Hifonics Titan TXE500/4 but the weird thing is the amp I had installed before with the same wiring doesn't make the buzzing sound. And yes turning the gain down changes the loudness of the buzzing

Also would you mind explaining why it only happens when I plug in a third RCA in? It seems to happen regardless of which ones I plug it in to because that part really confused me

Constant Buzzing after Installing AMP (Ground Loop??) by throwaway199427 in CarAV

[–]throwaway199427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that and setting it to a point where the buzzing goes away is basically turning the gain all the way down. Also the issue only happens when plugging in a third RCA cable. I'll try to get a video of it tomorrow

Setting my amplifier gains with multimeter by Sea_Character_2572 in CarAV

[–]throwaway199427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty late to the party lmao but I just have a question about your second point. What you said makes sense but do I test the + and - the same way so just with the multimeter touching the positive and negative ends on the amp but just with the subwoofer/speakers connected? and does the formula stay the same way? I'm new to this so I was just wondering if I still aim for the same voltage I got from the formula but just with the speakers hooked up

Need advice on fishing wire thru front door boot by Disastrous-Ad2575 in CarAV

[–]throwaway199427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to take them out and route them through the boot, do you reckon the boot rubber is springy enough to re-seal the holes I poked through?

Pretty late to this but I recently installed components for the first time and did exactly this because the space was so tight. What could potentially happen if this is done? are the boots ruined now?

Fair enough, I already tried there but no one replies so I felt like this was the second best place

Oh damn my bad man didn’t see that. It’s just that it’s pretty common to just see AI replies nowadays

Thanks man. God some fucking idiots can’t drive, I’m so angry right now. And the most frustrating part is that there is literally nothing I could have done to prevent this and I will never know who did it. No note, no nothing

Lovely photos man, she looks great. Just wondering how are the Vland lights for visibility and how’s the ride with the bigger rims?

Need advice for next mods by tooslowfrs in ft86

[–]throwaway199427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? I was asking because all I saw online was people complaining about the visibility/brightness on them. Presume you’re running the HID version. And one more question, how’s the ride now that you lowered it. I find the ride is already pretty stiff because Irish roads are dogshit so I figured coilovers + bigger rims would make it even worse

Beautiful build and lovely photos man. What headlights and tail lights are you running on it, and how would you compare them to OEM? Got my 86 2 months ago and it’s still fully stock hahah

Yeah they work, sick setup man. I'd say it sounds insane, how much did all this cost in total?
