Bad Luck

Just when you think you are getting somewhere, something gives.

I just added my second amp and 2 batteries for SB2. Was running @146. Had it metered locally after the upgrade and was right at 150, but had trouble maintaining voltage. Figured 2 more batteries should do the trick. Looked like a good project for this weekend.

I had the car idling, and was just getting ready to close it up for the night, and all of the sudden it sputtered and died. I got it started, but takes a lot to keep it running.
Looks like I lost part of the coil pack ($600), or an injector problem ($!!!!).
Either way, puts a dent into the buget for the rest of the year.
Hope to make one more show before finals.

it's always some crap! i just got my amp back, and was hooking everything up. im putting the last screws in my 9510 and, i put a screw threw it!! anybody got a good temp soulution?

sorry dude it's alaways some $hit!!

automotive goop works good,its flexable and yet strong enough for a temp use.

whats the brand name, or is that tha name?

Will do. Got lots of friends helping out.

nice sb2 score i think i can hold 148 easy with 2 12s and in the trunk of my car. but the amp is in the shop so im out for awhile

sorry to hear that guys

i learned not to attach my amp to the box

wat happen to ur amp?

it shook something lose and shorted out

damn that sucks i had my 40.1 mounted to the box nothing ever happen lol

well my box shakes really bad and i think it all about how its installed. for me its not working with the amp attach to the box. if the next try doesnt work im done. ill back it down so it wont shake so ad but bass about half of what i have now and just chill out from competition for a couple of years

Well, here is an update. Think the problem is the ECU. Unfortunately, it took a few other sensors down with it.

I will know in a week if the car is salvageable. So far I'm at $550 and counting.

Murphys Law.

you got to bolt that sh*t down and hope for the best

well hoping for it to work is for the birds im paying to much money to be blowing amps...i have one more amp too buy if i cant seem o get it right i out for good:shock:

Vibrations. Amps are not made to withstand usaci test cd's

Finally

Got the car back up and running. 1200$$$ later. That kinda money couldve taken care of my voltage problem.

Did get to make one more show with everything working. Getting some impressive numbers from the Orion 2500D's. Can't get a good reading on peak voltage, but it was enough to nearly smoke my Ecliple Ti Pro.
Have to wait to really turn it loose at Finals.
