I usually keep everything low day to day (ie:bass boost at 0 on the amp, gain was below 1/2, NF output at -5) so it is not annoyingly loud, but i can turn it up from the HU at anytime when I want it to be [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

How bad does your car rattle??? I can only imagine.

where'd your trunk go?

lol, jk man.

That setup is insane.

 
Rep Power: 346

I have actually been able to keep the rattle to a minimum [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] fatmat and dynamat all around the trunk, with two layers on the trunk lid...some expanding foam, and I stuffed some parts of a black cut-up t-shirt in some areas. I was getting almost not rattles, except i was getting tinsel lead slap, but I think I may have stopped that. I won't know for sure though until I can go somewhere and play it REALLY loud. The only time I would here the slap is when i had the trunk open anyway...it sounds nice from inside the car. I had thought that the highs would get drowned out by the bass, but it has been ok...prolly because the tweeters are so close to my ears.

Damn, I want to go somewhere just to roll in my ride!

Hey, did you install that Optima yourself? What about the wire to the battery terminals, that looks upgraded. What did you do exactly? I want to replace the stock wiring and the - is easy enough. The + I'm not sure about since it hooks up to this one other wire and it splits off into two wires that go into the fuse box. What's up with that? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, I installed the Optima myself. It was actually pretty easy to do. There is a plate under the battery that holds the regular battery in place, and the Optima is to big to fit the inprint...but the Optima is so big that it is held in place by the frame of the car....so I just put the battery on the plate, and it is so heavy that it flattened it out a lil. I then had to adjust the black tie down thing so that it was taller to accomidiate the Optima. Also, the Optima is too wide for the tie down, so if you look close you can see that i had to use a little metal strip to extend the tie down to attach to the chasis.

In regards to the wiring, I upgraded the engine ground and the battery gound to 4 gauge. The battery ground is weird because it goes from the negative terminal to the chasis then to part of cars engine (?). So what I did was I connented the negative to the screw on the chassis... then from the that screw I connected another ring terminal to the screw and put wire to that part on the engine. The actual engine ground is really easy, but I think would have been easier if I had an intake, because there are a few stock parts to work around. The thing I want to upgrade is the Alternator to the positive on the battery, but what you said about the fuse box and the wiring splitting off is kinda confusing to me as well...so i will wait until someone does a DIY or something. I just don't want to jack my car up trying to do that until I really know how to do it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Oh, okay. I thought that you did do that. I guess that's the power wire for your amp though. Thanks.
