Why? I don't really know much about them but everybody I've talked to said to do it to help your electrical system and my old truck dimmed my lights every time it hit hard and it don't have this much power

So that 1600w pioneer is putting out like what, 480w @ 14.4v lol

I don't remember but it's plenty for me. Do not need 5000w rms

Still will be much better than stock fgt blose, never was real impressed with mine in nbs

IMFO

Capacitors don't do shit, just do the big 3 and you should be fine. I run a 1600rms sub amp and a 400rms door speaker amp and mine is perfectly fine with just the big 3, a larger alternator or second battery would be good but you shouldn't need it

:shake: Good to know. If I get time I may do it this weekend then and screw the cap. I'll order the big 3 cables in a couple weeks

 

[CammedVmax]

Big 3 is super easy lol

Headunit and PAC harness came in today. If dad's car deal doesn't take too long tomorrow, I'm gonna take all my stuff over to my buddy's house and start the install :dubstep:

 

[Huck]

Brought the truck to my buddy's house and started tearing into it. Got the interior stripped and the whole thing sound deadened in a couple hours, took a break for dinner and put the carpet back in. Then got the speakers out and started fishing wire and mounting speakers. Didn't get to far into that before calling it a night cuz I'm running on 4.5 hrs of sleep. Gonna finish it in the morning

 

[BOO5TED]

Did you run wire for the rear door lights? I need to get those sockets to you.

 

[Huck]

Damn, low light pics suck. No, still haven't ordered those housings yet. But I broke one of the front housings tonight, we broke the other one putting in LEDs a while back so now I need 4 :banghead:

 

[BOO5TED]

:haha:

 

[Tiki]

Mmmm I want to deaden as well. Did you do the doors/back of the cab?

 

[Huck]

Did 2 layers on the back wall and from the front 2 seat mounts for the back seat back on the floor. Decided not to do the doors just to see how it sounds. If it sounds tinny I'll add some to the doors. May order some of those little butyl door cups that go around the speakers too.

Who has the best priced deadener? I need to do my ford after the crescendo's and subs

 

[Huck]

I used this stuff from home depot. It's $18 for a 12"x 15' roll. I got 5 and have one left over

 

[BOO5TED]

Home Depot lol.

:dewwot:

:dewwot:

Lol yep, AC duct insulation. Talked to Ryan and a couple other guys that have used it. It's butyl based and essentially the same shit, just a tad thinner. But it's like 1/3 of the price of automotive deadener. Laid down great, did 2 layers on the back wall and rear most section of the cab floor. Can already tell a difference just by banging on the floor and shutting the doors

 

[a-fuso]

I really need to do that to my truck. Dem longtubes are making me deaf

And please do tell more about butyl cups for behind the speakers?

 

[BOO5TED]
