My 4yr old son using my impact driver to install 2x6s

looks like it's nice and loud.
young guy putting in some reinforcements for ya, always good to have them helping hands

nice work. thanx for posting

[LyferXB9s]

Well I couldn't justify making the jeep a two seater so I made this Back seat dual battery tray/ stripper pole mount. Doesn't seat 5 people anymore, unless I put my sons Car seat in the middle then I guess it still does.

Four crescendo 10''s and a ppi 900.4 added to the mix

Enjoy that PPI

I'm currently running two (one per side).


Just a heads up:

1) Make sure for the Speaker inputs to pack extra Wire into the 8 gauge input.

I've cut so much wire tightening that down. I'm thinking I will go with some heavy duty 10 gauge to run to my terminal block. Also

2) With my gain knob at least (3/3 amps I got) it was upside down (at least the arrow indicating where it is). So needless to say my first fire up was full gain. Luckily volume was down at 5-10 out of 62. So make sure to test the output voltage on the speaker rail to double check.


You will have to let me know if you get any static noise from your PPI. I'm getting slight static interference. I've checked everything and have come down to possibly bad amp (which all 3 (which seems odd 3 would be bad) of mine did it even on test bench, possibly issues with the caps). Brand new out of the box HU. Does it even with all RCA's removed but stops when MS-8 is removed from the inputs of the amp. But when directly hooked to HU noise returns.

IDK. I will see if moving the MS-8 helps. Using stinger RCA cables, I've even test RCA's that I know are good (didn't create noise in previous setup. But now they do). Just puzzling. Just learning to deal with it as its only noticeable when I'm not playing tunes.



Anyway great amp and does rated

[LyferXB9s]

Thanks for the info. I intend on installing it tonight so I will let you know on the static.

[LyferXB9s]

so far I have no static however I noticed my damn gains have to be maxxed out to get my speakers even remotely loud.

[CRYPTICgamer88]

hey how do those crescendo sound? im looking at getting the 6.5's and some super tweets

[LyferXB9s]

No idea yet.

I noticed with mine that at first (first hour of use or so) it was quieter then normal. Since then my PWK 6.5's scream. I feel thats more the MS-8 then the amp.

Do you have them bridged? If not and you have the extra room on the amp I'd bridge the speakers

Also 4 or 8 ohm speakers?

[LyferXB9s]

I am going to bridge them tonight. The manual is very vague on how to and the website blows for new information.

everything on my amp I'd named backwards really annoying at first

Ya IDK how it can pass QC with backwards information. Other then that seems to be very solid.

[LyferXB9s]

yea I was trying to set it up and the filters were ****ing weird. I was like there is noway in hell this thing has this many good reviews and my mids sound like this. Took me a minute to figure it out.

Yep. I should have messaged the seller and PPI about it. But other then the backwards info everything works 100% like it should

[CRYPTICgamer88]

Dude it might be one of those things that are super rare and collectable. Im mean how often does the QC department mess up that bad? Contact ppi and see wassup

[LyferXB9s]

Final cuts on the battery tray. Rounding the corners.

I ordered my alt from Mechman on the 23rd. I asked for a military discount, he had me Email him from my DOD email and he said he would take care of me, thanks for my services yadayadayada. That was the 23rd. My alt and regulator showed up today!

Ya I know. It's not like it was one or two. From what I can see it is a shipment (3 of mine and Lyfer's 1). From what I can tell the cap is on wrong. Nothing I couldn't fix by taking it apart:



Had to remove a busted screw head. Non functional other then holding the board in place.

Two sided board
