    Factory Amp

    95 buick regal jvc kdr200 sorry i had to call the kid
  4. Okay so im asking this question for a friend of mine. He just recently bought a hu from a local shop and they do free instal with the purchase...well they said that his car has a factory amp and that they will have to by pass it by running all new wires which will cost $120. I am still learning but this just doesnt seem right. I mean why would you want to bypass a amplifier? The shop said that running the amp would equal less output to the speakers but bypassing it would make it louder. I just dont quite understand the logic so if someone could explain it would be great. thanks

    Slapping noise?

    Okay i finally got to it and im happy with my result: This may sounds stupid but alls i did was take the sub out of the box and put it back in but i tucked the wires in differently than the shop that built my box did. Soooo the slapping noise must of been the speaker wires slapping around. I kinda feel stupid but when you hear what i heard, you start to get worried haha. Overall i am glad that it was nothing major. Also i would like to add some thanks to all the people that helped me out on here. I have learned a lot from just reading. My Q is amazing and would change a thing. Thanks again!!

    Slapping noise?

    okay well i plan on going back to the audio shop to talk to them tomorrow. Baseball is finally over... but i have two more questions: can i free air the sub on regular music on low power/volume? and should i stick with a down firing box or a tradition ported box? My ride is an f150 extended cab. thanks again

    Slapping noise?

    I have had baseball games everyday so i havent done much with it.. If i were to free air it, what should i wire the sub to? Its a dual 2. I have a hifonics bxi 1208d. As for my current enclosure, i think i may take it to the shop that built it and have them throw a sub in it and test and see if it is slapping. Time is just not on my side at this point but i will FOR SURE get to it this weekend.

    Slapping noise?

    Is the shifted magnets going to affect my sub in any way? Should i send it back in? I havent had it for long so i assume its still under warranty.

    okay ill take the sub and put it in a different box and see if the noise continues.

    Ok well i hope this worked for pictures..... If you cant tell on the one of the magnet, it is shifted. IDK if it was supposed to be like that or what. Please let me know what to do and what you guys think.

    Slapping noise?

    So i was playing it again yesterday just to see if i wasnt crazy and i heard it again. I will be taking the sub out of the box and inspecting what is wrong. it seems like it is only making the noise when it hits the lows so it could be the box slapping. I will keep you guys updated.

    Slapping noise?

    To tell you the truth, i think that may be it because i would of heard this noise from before.... that brings me to another question though: Is a down firing box better than a standard ported box for my truck? Ford F-150 Ext. Cab.

    Slapping noise?

    I have had my sub for maybe a month and a half maybe two so idk if its the new style or not... but for the picture im going to have to wait till tomorrow to take it and set up a photobucket account. What do you guys suggest for the low pass setting?
