Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

genius

 

I should say, that is the way it was on my 11. I think I want to do a different route for the 12, I am going to run a 2 ga from the battery to behind the rear seat and set a fuse block and put another fuse block under the hood.

 

Where are y'all grounding your amps? The next time I get cash I'm Gonna dynamat my floor and doors. And doing so I'm Have to remove my ground to remove the carpet.

 

If it's done right I don't worry too much about it.

 

you already have one fuse box inside the cab. no different adding another.

grounded it right behind the rear seats where it's mounted. onoly took about a foot of cable.

 

Ah ok so you used a seat bolt

 

No carpet behind the rear seats

 

i can't remember. either a seat bolt, or just a bolt that holds the body together.

 

Haven't you seen Joe's truck?

 

Il try a bolt out when it comes to it. I used a self tapper on it now but I don't feel like it's going to hold up

 

also remember to knock off the paint wherever you are grounding. a structurally sound connection does no good if it's govered in paint.

i don't like them, but this is one case where a riv-nut could be usefull.

 

yall are busy in here this mornin lol

 

Bulhas

 

pull your carpet before you weld

 

Do you know if I can bridge 8 guage amp wire to a splitter block to another amp or do I need to move to like 0 guage. My brother in law offered me amp so I can do my door speakers.

 

Yup.

Anything in your truck will burn if you get it hot enough. I once watched a Suburban melt down to the frame while burning off the paint on the cars next to it

 

how big is your amp? 8 guage is pretty small. i think i'm running 2 guage to my single 1000w amp. it measures closer to 3 guage though.....

 

i had a small fire under my truck when i was welding on my sliders. the rear diff breather hose was about an inch off of the inside of the frame rail and still caught fire from the heat from the welder on the other side of the frame.

 

I currently only have a 500w 175 rms kenwood for my 10 inch sub. So the 8 was the largest I could run to the terminal on the amp.
