Just stepped up my grounding game
 
lol

I ran another 4g ground in my trunk for my PH-D3, and now instead of dropping from 14.4 down to ~12.4v on every hard bass hit, I'm only dropping down to ~13.6 :D

Hopefully that was worth a db... or two :thumbsup:

Sounds like a pretty solid upgrade, good work. I'm not sure if it'll be worth a dB though... maybe a few tenths, but I don't think the power difference will be overly significant from ~1 volt extra

IMO that's a huge upgrade. good job!

solid man, would be cool to see a sealed 150...lol....run a few more. or a run or 2 of 0/1 welding cable, its cheap enuf, good gain tho.

Damn now I REALLY can't wait to get my 4 4AWG power and grounds run, with custom distros... :stroke:

Honestly I'm pretty surprised it made that much of a difference myself, especially considering I have a stock alternator and battery....

I still haven't put in the fuse for the other 1/0g power wire run either ;)
Dunno if that'll make much difference, but here's to hoping!

Thanks for the kind words, hopefully with a little bit of practice and tuning I can crack that 150 sealed :)

bit of tunning in a sealed?

worldind 03-11-2007 03:14 PM

Heheheh... that just might prove to be difficult

worldind 03-11-2007 03:18 PM

If you can manage to do a 150 sealed though, I'll give you $5. How's that for incentive! It'll cover a fraction of the costs it takes you to pull it off.

I should have said messing around a meter, trying different frequencies.

Worldwind, thanks, but keep that $5 and get into the 150's yourself, you're close :)

It was kinda funny yesterday, after messing aroudn with the system, I had the drivers window down, and I was crankin "Jim Jones - We Fly High", and my drivers rear door was flexing in and out probably a 1/4" on the low parts, probably high 30's or low 40hz range.

It's fun driving along, and seeing people on the sidewalk turn around and stare with a "HOLY " look on their face hahah :smilie_da
