I never did.. I did back when I had my old 95 Grand Am.. But that system wasnt even close to what I have now.. But Never had that issue with the Monte..Are you sure its in tight.

 

i know i am missing one pine tree nut or whatever they are called on the driver side. but thats it. i may have to take another look at it. but it moves up atleast 1 inch. its been so long since i replaced my 6x9s so maybe it could use a good look over again. it just sounds awful!

 

Also See if one of the speakers are loose.. it doesn't take much to loosen screw's if their not tight.. it happened to me once.. started using locking washers on a few things lol..

 

im gonna check that too. ill see if i can move my 6x9s.. it could be the 6x9s popping up then comming down on the rear deck. the sound is just terrible. next weekend im just gonna get everything back there as tight as possible. after my build is done the rear deck wont be used at all nor will it be seen

 

got my new alternator put in! super excited... no more strobing lights on the dash! i was interested to see if DC power actualy would send me their XP(top of the line) alternator because of the amount of time i had to wait. and sure enough! its a 270 Amp at around 1500RPMs and has a 190 Amps at idle. now i can finally run my Fog light HIDs at night as well as my music with out the battery light comming on, on the dash. i had a bad bad issue when i put it in and it was charging at 19.5 volts. called them up and figured out what was wrong now its at a smooth 14.5!




my next upgrade will be redoing my doors with 2 or 3 6 1/2s and 2 tweeters in each door. stay tuned!

 

That's one heck of an alternator! Should help out a lot. Keep up the nice progress

 

sure is! it weighs ALOT. and its larger then the stock one. made it alot harder to get at the back bolts. i never see blow 13V now with hids, LEDs on and music on full tilt.

 

Well after a 2 hour drive to Tampa. I am very impressed with my crescendo bc2000. After rocking out on almost full tilt the whole way it wasn't even hot. It was still cool to the touch. My F300 was very hot but it held up. I did see volts as low as 12.5 but that's with a regular old interstate battery. Driving at night with all the lights on. So I guess batteries are next

Merry christmas to all!

 

okay well i had a nice day off today which doesnt happen very often i currently work 2 jobs and the days im not working at my main job i work at a audio shop doing installs, sanding fiberglass. basically whatever needs to be done! i was sick of my bass **** just laying limp in the little pocket under the dash so i had a cool little idea heres some pics!

first to get a nice clean flush mount i had to take off the case around the **** some parts took a grinder to get off but thats no big deal



the back of it. wraped it in electrical tape to give it a "case" so to speak.



ahh me likey :p



BAM! i must say i love this spot for the bass ****. easy access yet hidden from the stearing wheel. and still room for........ my NEWLY ORDERED crescendo 1600.2 which will be running 8 6.5s and 8 tweeters(4 and 4 in each door)



picked up a DC power alternators sticker. they treated me very well, so yes i will rep them on my car.



also (dont have pics) but may get a video up soon. i have the pioneer AVH 4300 and i got the cable to make my iphone play youtube or anykind of video on the screan(with audio) its awesome! i have a VEVO app which if your familiar with youtube VEVO has all ALOT of music videos. and i can go to that app and listen as well as watch the music video which is pretty cool! .

 

look whats here . the C1600.2 this thing is massive! and i cant wait to throw it on my new 6.5s which got ordered today! this thing is going to have nasty mids and highs! this 1600.2 will be powering 8 mid range 6.5s and my alpine F300 will power 8 tweeters! all in the doors!
