tell me what u think. it was installed by streetnoys here in san diego and all i got to say is they do great work. i have a alpine amp voodoo cap and alpine type r 12 inch in a fiberglass box well let me know what u think. http://www.f150online.com/galleries/...w.cfm?num=3777
thanks

 

looks good, nice and clean. how many farads is the voodoo cap?

 

my cap is 1.2 farads

 

that install looks really clean, but i see a big no-no in the installation. the amp was mounted upside down! maybe since it's on a metal surface it's ok, but i still wouldn't do that in my own car.

 

did the dealer give you any compensation for the dented roof?

 

no they fixed it and thats its but y wouldnt u install it upside down???

 

Doesnt matter how you mount it.

 

Amps aren't suppose to be mounted upside down b/c they dissipate heat upwards. If you mounted it upside down like he did you will have problems later when it gets hot. My 2 cents.
peace

 

i agree, that amp should be moved.

i like the woofer in the corner, it looks good.

 

really is this just a myth or is it for reals? is there any facts that i can read about on?
thanks

 

i guess it's for real.. considering it's one of the basic mounting rules in every amplifier manual.

 

Actually back in the days they specifically told you not to install amps upside down mainly because of the components that they used. For example certain Capacitors inside an amp years ago had a special fluid inside it and it was recommended to have the amp facing upwards for the fluid not to settle on the top of the cap when mounted upside down. Now I have not really seen any problems with reputable amps being mounted upside down. I would not mount an amp upside down if I can help it, but thats just me thinking "old school".
