My original tweeter from the component set stopped working on the right so I replaced it with another, I didn't need to replace the other one, I'm going to try placing the left side speakers on the right and see what happens and I'll check the speakers as well.

Ok, so I tired another amp and this time it's grounded to the chassis. Again the right side works and this time I can put the gain as high as I want on the right side, but now when I connect the left side the amp goes into protection mode. I have different tweeters on the right side than I do on the...

New Amp Goes Into Protection Mode

I recently purchased an MB QUART RAA4200 which is a 100 watts X 4 channels. I was using the amp to power my MB QUART components by biamping the crossover. This is the only amp in the car right now, so I have the power wire and the ground wire coming off the cap. The cap is grounded to the chasis in ...

You could have the negative wire going to the positive wire on the sub. If you were to reverse the wires, it might work. I had a similar problem when I installed an amp and assumed the wires were wired correctly inside the box. The sub would vibrate, but it wouldn't hit like it should. Once I switch...

That is expensive for plexiglass, I was hoping it would cost a little under $150. I thought I would just use 3/4, but I wasn't sure exactly how much I was going to use and how I could do it. Is there a way where I can still see the magnets and not have to spend so much?

How would you mount the baffle to the rear deck while making sure it is completely sealed and then how would you mount sub box to the baffle?

Thanks for the replies, I was looking at the faq section and found a lot of answers. I was confused about building a baffle to seal the trunk, how would I go about doing something like that? If you desire the best performance and have the time and/or money, then the example in fig. 4 is the way to g...

By aesthetics, I mean for show purposes. The reason I wanted the subs to point towards the back seat is so I can put plexiglass in the rear of the box so I could see the magnets of the subs. I am always use to putting the subs facing the trunk lid, but I wanted to see the magnets of the subs. I was ...

Sub Positioning

I wanted to position the subs firing toward the cabin of the car. Now I want know if it will sound better if I fire the subs toward the trunk lid or will it sound ok firing toward the cab of the car. The reason I want to have the subs firing toward the cab is just for aesthetics. I was also contempl...
