This has been in the works for some time. I know that Chad and his crew are extremely excited about this new move. This will definetly shake things up in the Home Audio realm.More for less is a real understatment. Take some time and read through all the website has to offer. I'm sure you'll be impressed. Would love to hear thoughts about Chad's new company. http://www.epiksubwoofers.com/

Epik subwoofers (Chad Kuypers) has updated a few things on the web site. Lots of great things happening. Some cool enclosure PICS and NEW pricing has just been introduced. Check out the site at epiksubwoofers.com

I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow.

I am running active off the Zed Draconia and not the Headunit. I will give this a whirl. Thanks.

"Most every" Sorry about the bad english.

How come most every home audio sub is ported? The question is that simple. I want to learn more.

the cart software actually shows a number higher then the actuall products available. It has to do with the way the products are catagorized. Cube Cart bug really. I'm sure that answered your question, anything else I can help with? I think that's it.

beautiful.

I know this subject has been hit several times, I'm looking to do a three way front stage in my wife's altima. I was thinking of doing the Dynaudio Esotec 342 (yes I know that's pretty pricy). I like the configuration of the setup though. 7" woofer 3" midrange and (big) 1" tweet. This will not probably happen for a few months, but I'm doing some research now to know what I'm getting into. Is there anything else out there that may be in the same ball park as the Dynaudio or better for the price. I would greatly appreciate the advice from some of you expierianced SQ guys. Thanks. I will have more question soon.

The sub would have to stick out from the door about 2 inches or so if I remember correctly. I realize this is quite a bit of a project now and I'm re-thinking this. This is why I like posting my thoughts, that way smarter people can help me avoid huge headaches. The project is on hold for now. I'm seperating from the military and movin' back to DFW and money is tight. I got some eqipment I'm thinking of getting rid of (nothing special) couple of Alpine subs, and some MB quart stuff. I guess I may post it up on the FS thread.

Does anyone know when Ascendant Audio is going to update there web site. I've bought several of there subs and mids in the past and was wondering when the new stuff was coming out. Any insight?

I'm moving to the DFW area in the next 6 months . Just wanted to know what good shops and people are out there. I may need a little inspiration and guidance. I went to school at UNT several years ago and I'm moving back to the area. Would just like to know where I can go for some good deals and hang out with other stereo junkies.

Electricity is pretty dumb and won't really know the difference in the end product. 1 ohm into the amp is 1 ohm (am I wrong?).

Great PICS!! It's something special to be able to track your family back that far (no pun intended). Wonderful pics.

No Problem. These amps rum pretty cool and I don't see any problems with them getting too hot (running them on a 2 ohm load). I have two Mini's tucked behind my back seat in my Ext. Cab Sierra. To make certain that heat won't be an issue, mount them with the heat sinks in a vertical position. Good luck.

Go with the Mini's. Much more flexability and the Mini's are designed specifically for sub work.

I'm getting ready to install and aftermarket sub and amp to my friends Ford Edge. I have a Stinger LIne Output Converter for the Edge. Problem is....is that they don't make one for the 07'. It's the same wire scheme, but I can't directly hook it up using the factory harness. I was going to cut and splice the wire and hook it up that way, but not sure which wires are positive, negative, and which wire is the ground. I really need your help. Everything is ready to go except this step. Photo of the Factory harness from the Edge. This harness hooked into the factory amp.

I grounded to a Seat bolt, is this OK. Sorry for all the questions, I wanna learn more and not make the same mistakes in the future. Thank you!!!!! You guys rock.

Not sure if I know what you mean. With everything hooked up I get a hum. I disconnected the RCA, and I still get a hum. With the LOC grounded and not grounded I get hum. Its' a wurble and distorted sound coming from the sub. The sub still moves as it should, but it has that weird noise along with it. None of the other speakers are getting this sound. I know it's not the sub because I hooked it up to my truck and worked fine.

Still need help.

I'm getting a midrange pitch through the sub and it makes a squarble noise also. What do I do.

I thought I did have a good ground. It's the seat bolt that I connected to. Sanded down the paint till it was bare metal. The hum is not that loud as I remember, but it is still there. I will check the ground to the LOC. Would it be better to have it with the AMP ground or seperate? Thanks.

Finally got a chance to work on the LOC and things aren't going well. Here's where I'm at. 1. Tapped into the right rear speaker to connect onto the LOC. (Amp is all connected minus the RCA's and the wired on the LOC). I connected the 2 wires (+, -) one side of the LOC and got nothing. 2. I jumped the (+) and (-) to have all four speaker connection working and boom, boom. Everthing was working. 3. So I thought I should tap into the left rear spaker and connect it also to the LOC (left channel and right channel) Did this and got nothing, Only a very slight signal. Why did this happen? Even when the sub was working with step 2, the sub had a slight hum to it and I did have to turn up the gain and boost quite a bit to get a decent sub sound. I disconnect the RCA's and still had the hum. I'm thinking it's a bad ground. PLEASE HELP!! I'm really frustrated. This is my first LOC install.

I'm ready to start this bad boy. This will be a totaL SQ install (I hope). I'm starting from scratch. The Altima is completly stock. Here are the plans... Front Stage 2-way or 3-way (if it will work) up front. Components that I'm considering are as follows: Tweets Peerless 810921 (big flange , but I think I can work with it). Vifa XT 255C5G (already have a pair) Seas 27TAFNCC (heard great things about it, but not a real big fan of aluminium tweets) Woofer Seas CA22RNX 8" Peerless SLS 830667 8" I can fit and 8" in the doors with a bit of modification. Power? Not sure yet. I'm a big fan of Zed and would love a Draconia (already have on e in the truck). I'm considering the Sundown 4 channel. I have an RF 4 channel that I like OK. HU Not sure yet. Suggestions? Sub Stage I have two 10" Arsenals That I will take out of my truck and put into the Altima. Gonna get a 12" Arsenal or a pair of Assasins for the truck as a replacement. Enough for now. I'm open to most suggestions. Budget? up to $80 each on the tweets and woofs for the front stage. Sorry if I left out any other info. My listening needs.... I'm a jazz musician. That's what I do for a living. I'd like a good strong midbass, smooth mids and clear highs, and a substage that blends well with the upper end. Now don't get me wrong, I do listen to other stuff Alternative, 80's rock and very little rap. I do like to cranl it every once an awhile. What do you think. I really would appreciate the advice. Thanks.

How important is it to have crossover capabilities on the HU as opposed to an aftermarket amp. For example, a Zed Draconia or comparable amp. If I'm running a 2-way up front and have the crossover capabilities on the HU and the aftermarket amp, which would be better. Sorry if this is a loaded question.
