Slo, and Juice, you guys have made this thread a serious daily watch. Some serious sh$t going on here. Fun to watch the progress and I complement the attention to detail. Attention to detail is the difference maker to me

Thanks dude, Juice has got me crushed though, his install is straight up beautiful.
I put power tomine this afternoon. Having an issue with my fairing speakers that’s going to take a little chasing. When I first installed the gz’s, the right one had a very light crackle you could hear on certain notes. Not distortion at all, just a noise that shouldn’t have been there. Checked everything 3 times, all I could come up with was having everything in the fairing at that point, my maint power wire coming in was right by that speaker and there was no way around it.
Now moving everything to the back, there is no interference anywhere in the wiring, all separated as much as humanly possible except at the amp where the wiring is all on the same set of terminals. Now the crackling is in both speakers. Only them. I’ve moved everything around, different outputs from DSP, different rca’s, different channels, both speakers crackle. It sucks because I LOVE volume, clarity, and midbass but this isn’t going to work out lol. Tomorrow I’m going to swap in my pps6-4’s and see if the noise goes away. If so, somehow I managed to blow two seriously badass speakers with almost zero play time on them using good amps, crossovers, etc and nowhere near overpowering them. Kind of a let down to be so close yet so far. Also kinda makes me nervous on my 8” lid speaker choice since I also picked GZ midbass for them because I liked the way the 6.5’s sounded so much.
