General Audio

Blew the power supply in my amp. Had it fixed and just installed the amp back in. On zero volume there is a loud alien like sound as soon as i turn on the headunit. Could this be a bad ground? My right mid fell from its baffle and the frame was resting on the metal door. Did this ground blow something else? Thanks for any input. Steve

Just like the title says, I'm wondering if there is anyone in northwest texas/northeast new mexico with a loud system. I want to hear 140+ deeeebeeeeez

I currently have a 12" FI BL in my car with a US Amps MD1D. I am looking at maybe putting another one in and I have a few questions. How big should the box be? FI recomends 2.5 cu. for one so when you have 2 do you double that? I have a dual 2 ohm so I would get another dual 2. I have a Hifonics 1206D sittin around so should I use that or buy a amp that is .5ohm stable? Like a Lazar Opti2000D. Or a big amp that can give around 2000 watts at 2 ohm. Would I need a bigger alt. current one is 120amps and I have a Kinetic 1400 batt. in the front and am going to look into getting a smaller batt. for the trunk.

The speaker wire with a negative and a positive. The gold and the silver. When I go to wire my sub for 2ohms which part of the speaker wire to do I run from negative to positive? I'm sure its a simple answer I'm just retarted.

so i got my speakers into day, now some people say to mount along with the driver.. and some say to mount high on the A pilelr, well my cross overs, have two spots for tweeters,... one for main tweets and another for image tweeters, lets talk

Now for the question . Is it better to run in a daily driver setup 1 or 2 ohms? I there really a difference between the two besides the resistance in the current.

So i got excited today and built a 1.25 cube box ported to 32 hz today and put my new 10 inch icon in it. I ran the wires and had everything set up. I also hooked up my amp today and set everything up with that. I hooked the sub and amp up together and it barley worked. I had to turn the gains on the amp all the way up and the bass boost all the way up for it to barley hit. I mean it wasn't even playing notes the sub was just moving a little. Anyone have any idea whats wrong? I know i have everything hooked up right.

I'm in some serious need of more deadener. I have decided, for the most part, on RAAMmat BXT. I'm just not sure if I should pair it with the ensolite or not. I'm sure it will help, but would it be worth the extra money (limited budget for now)? My main concern is the roof by the way. Thanks in advance for all suggestions and advice.

I have an amp and a pair of speakers and im not sure if they are good or not. What would you guys rate them from 1/10, i got them both for free so im not to concerned if they are good or not.

I'm in need of an active hu. Rather wanting an eclipse 7100. Alpine 9887 and eclipse 7200 are also rather nice. Anyone have any goodies laying around? I'm aware theres a classifieds, but I can't post in it until I have 25 posts on this forum. I'm not about to be a post count whore to make a post.

http://www.raammat.net/ how much difference does it make just deadening the trunk, both on the inside and out. im pretty sure that i dont need 63sqft to do my trunk, how much do i need?

I have a ported box built for a Rockford T2 12. It has a 2.25 net volume and is tuned at 40Hz (Termpro)...Actual in car is said to be 37Hz. I just ordered a new Fi Q 12 dual 1ohm and was wondering if it will work in my current box or do I need to change the tuning of the box?? How do you know how much to add or remove from the length of the port to get the Hz I'm looking for? I have attached a pic of the box that I have. Any help on this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

To start off everything that I'm getting together will be going in this.... So here is the latest shipment to arrive today.. What are they??.. well considering the price I paid I can't complain....$115 shipped ea. The obvious back shot.... My wife bought the subs, and these also for me for my Christmas gift, 2 sets of PG Rsd 6.5's Gotta love her. What amps am I gonna be installing well here is 2 of them. 1 RF PowerT3002 for the PG components and 1 Sundown SAZ-1500D. Soon to be a 2nd SAZ-1500D after I get it from Jacob very soon. 1 1500D per pair should be suffecient. And then how about a group picture Now next on the list is electrical upgrades so gotta get s…

Okay guys I need some help. I wanna order some speaker box carpet for my box but I have no idea how much I need... My box is 30"wide, 24"deep, 13"high. How many yards will I need? What kind of adhesive should I use?

Any interesting link... Can't remember at all where I got it, but it is very useful when trying to describe what 140 dB means to someone. http://www.makeitlouder.com/Decibel%20Level%20Chart.txt

i have like 3 inches to play with.... this shit sucks.... no way these 8's are going in the damn doors, and i was looking at some cdt comps.. but they dont list depth! im sure its more then 3 inches for a 6.5 mid sub so now what do i do .... does anyone know of a great pair or comps in a 6.5 that will fun 200$ or so?

Just wondering where everybody gets theirs. And can I get it on my ipod? Like on multiple excursion videos people have the lady saying "32 cycles" or whatever.

hey everyone, love the site, i mostly lurk around and there's some really good info on here. well anyway on to my question, im looking to buy some tweeters to replace my old mb quart tweeters. would like them to blend in with my sound stage now and keep up when i upgrade it too, currently im running a 6" whip audio mid on each door and 2 for rear fill, itll soon be 2 on each door and 2 8"s and the 2 6"s for rear fill when im done with the pods.im not looking to spend more than 50-60 dollars, but if i have too i will lol. i mostly listen to reaggeton, rap and hip hop and sometimes some r&b. i would love to place them where i had my old tweeters, heres a pic.... thanks…

I've got enclosures fiberglassed into the rear quarter panels of my Tahoe, and can't give up any more of my cargo room. I work as a General Contractor, and frequently carry plywood and sheetrock in the back of the truck. My current Celestion AD15H's sound great with the crossover point set at 40HZ, reproduce the low frequencies with great detail, even with the measly 250 watts I'm sending them each through my Lightning Audio 500 watt mono amp (2 ohm load). The only problem, I've found that they have a tendency to "blatt" (for lack of a better term) if I up the crossover point to even 50HZ. Could this be a result of too little power, too small of an enclosure, too high (or…

well... i'm not at home and won't be there for awhile, and i don't have winISD here. i'm just needing someone to find out the port length for me please!!! box is 4 cuft after displacements tuned to 31hz port is 4.5" wide by 12.5" tall all help is greatly appreciated!!

Ok so I hooked up some LED's in my sub box. These: http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/alm.htm (The 4 bulb ones) I hooked them up twice and they worked both times. One w/ the switch and one w/o the switch. I didn't change ANYTHING and the next day I go to hook them up after putting my sub in the box, and they don't work. Try everything, but they do not work at all. Even tried hooking them directly up to the battery (no bad connections). I think the lights are dead... I guess. My question is, did my problem come from not having the 1 amp fuse they recommend? I mean that would only blow if something bad happened, and I do not understand why the lights would die so easily…

Ok im trying to decide on the wire i should get and i wanted to ask if any of you guys have tried them knu konceptz KLMX cable and like it. I also found 25 foot of monster cable 1/0 for 60 shipped i think im leaning for that unless you guys think the KLMX would work just fine.

Probably a stupid question but I'm wondering how I would go about hooking up my 15" SSD to my home stereo receiver. I think its a 100 watt per channel receiver @ 4 or 8 ohms. Just wondering if there is any way to do this or is it just stupid.

ok so here what I've decided on for total system for my 94 Sundance: H/U:Pioneer 9800BT FRONT STAGE:Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS REAR STAGE:Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS SUB STAGE:Treo SSX15.22 F/S AMP:Soundstream PCX2.440 R/S AMP:Soundstream PCX2.440 SUB AMP:Soundstream PCX2000D Wiring:Xscorpion Batteries:Kinetik HC1400x3 Alt: Ohio Generator 300amp All comments thought and things that should be changed in your opinion would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I have 4 gauge power wire going to my two ppi 2100's. I will be adding a US Amps 100 HC for a sub amp. Can I run 4 gauge to it or do I need to step up to 1/0 gauge? Also what would be the perfect set up? What I mean is, I have a diesel truck with two 750 amp batteries and a 136 amp alt. Will this be ok to run this set up? What needs to be changed? Thanks
