Re: Sub box mounting hardware

spare tire cover isn't mounted though is it? If you can't go down, then look to the sides or up. I have used 1"-2" aluminum flat-stock bent into shapes to mount alot of my gear. Its thick enough that you will need to put it in a vice and use a hammer to help bend it so its strong enough t...

Re: Sub box mounting hardware

That looks like a Suby, which those brackets would be sitting right above the spare tire well. I agree with ttocs that those are framing brackets, which any hardware store will have a large variety of in their lumber sections. There are always options for mounting enclosures without drilling, just ...

Re: Sub box mounting hardware

Well I was looking for a quick fix as my current enclosure slides all over the trunk. Upon further inspection even if I go to drill through the trunk floor I'll have to remove my exhaust, heat shields and some underbody molding just to secure it. This quick fix was suppose to be part of Phase 1 of m...

Sub box mounting hardware

Who can tell me the name, GIS search, or find a vendor selling the brackets holding this sub box in place? If you have found other brackets commonly used for the same purpose post them up so I can see options. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/JayGold/Car%20Audio/subfeet.jpg http://i3.photobucket...

Re: Congratulations to Phoenix Gold App amp

App-solutely trick, I'm glad PG is pioneering this technology in one of their line of amps. My only concern is fail safe features, I hope the app lets you lock an adjustment as I would hate to accidently max the gain or another adjustment while sorting through the menus and damage some expensive spe...

Re: Upgrading to 1/0 gauge

I suggest using the battery top posts for your audio system power/ground and starter wiring. The GM side posts should be utilized for any additional factory wiring or lower amperage power draw. I don't have any top post, thats why I'm using the side one for now. So this is a factory GM battery with...

Re: Upgrading to 1/0 gauge

Are you using the KNF-22D for distribution to the amps? Are you ordering/using the GM side posts for connection to your system, or for OEM power/ground wiring? You'll need to fuse independently both the alternator and the main power wire going to the rear of the vehicle. A fused distribution block c...

Yeah they seem closer than other amps i have seen too. There is a plastic coating on them also. Maybe to protect from them somehow touching? Could be something they changed in later revs. Most if not all MS amps have a clear plastic sheath on the buss bars to protect them from arcing on each other ...

I'm with those who decided on the MS2125, even though NewOldStock makes some great points about the MS275. When I got into car audio around 1993 it was all about buying used amps from friends because that's what I could afford. My first was a 4 channel Kenwood amp which kept blowing 2 channels runni...

Pics can only determine so much when it comes to value. It somewhat falls into what someone is willing to pay and it depends on exterior condition of paint, and the sink plus silkscreen. As for the board and components, it's best to know if the caps have been pulled or swapped as they tend to leak o...
