I pieced together a simple system for my friend, 2008 F-150 Ex-Cab. I installed everything which is.. Pioneer deh-p7200hd, 4 gauge amp kit, Kicker kx400.1 and today we built a box for the brand new sa-8 which is 14 width 13 height 14 depth. port is 12.5 width 1.5 height...after sub and port displacement its supposed to be .821 tuned at 34hz. I have it wired to 1 ohm. Well heres the PROBLEM. It sounds bad and should be 10x louder and lower. A friend of mine has a single sa-8 in a 1.0 cube box tuned to 34hz on 50watts and it SLAMS in his hatchback and its even 10x louder and lower in his piece of shit suzuki samurai so i know there has to be something wrong with the box sp…

The home unit for 75 bucks w/ remote. Not a bad deal at all. My dad bought his from amazon.com for 100 bucks from one of their ebay type merchants. http://www.woot.com/woot_detail.aspx

Hey guys, I wanna take all my seats out when it gets warmer. The only thing I am cautious about is that my front seats have airbags in them... Is it ok to take these seats out? Do I just need to unconnect the wiring and be carefull doing it? Thx Josh~

Well as much as it pains me to have done it the x-cons have been sold to stefanhinote. I was in the search of more SPL and i made a final decision on two 15" BTL N2s. Let me tell everyone now by no means are the x-cons quiet i recently got a 148.2 on music sealed. Thats in a box tuned to 30hz and not the optimal port area for spl. Mind you while doing this they sound simply amazing. Ill never stop supporting SSA and i can tell you guys now my next car will be another set of x-cons for everyday ground pounding. For now though i wanna compete and its time to move to something louder.

would 36 sq ft in the sizes of 18''x32'' be enough to do the whole back part including roof and doors of a gmc yukon? im trying to figure out how many kits i will need..so any opinions would be great..

after slaving by his computer for hours maybe days, Ravo has released a working database www.12vdb.com www.12voltdb.com add equipment you own or feel that you have a deep connection to, write reviews, etc etc!! 12vdb is now open!! thanks to all who have helped (especially Ravo and Megahurtz)

Hey guys , need a little help here i have my mono amp under my driver seat , and my component's amp under my passenger seat, now i am going to be entering into street stock division this season, and i heard from a reliable source that i would have to move my amps into the trunk to qualify in street stock , and then i heard from another reliable source that as long as the amps are completely hidden under the seat that it would be all good, ??? which is the correct info ?? any help or advice would be apreciated, thanks

Anybody know anyone who can do a good install around the Houston TX. area ??

hi all i am going to be competing for the first time and was wondering what class i should run. i am going to using my fi x 12 in a 6th order bp which is 3.5 cubes a chamber and will be pushing 200w rms to it. also i have a kicker zx 1500 that i just aquired and was thinking of using it at 8 oms on the x so that should roughly be about 375wto 400w rms but was wondering if they would make me run a higher class since that amp can put out 1500w even though i would have it putting out around 400 since it would be at 8 ohms

Ok i just rushed and finished up my box not to long ago(too late to listen to it) and the opening of the port is 5.75"(what its suppose to be) but the closing end is 5.25".... Would that make a BIG noticeable difference in sound or should i end myself and the box?? If u need more specs let me know.

Right now i have 2 12 inch re audio se's sealed behind the seats in 3 cubes...i miss the output of the ported box i had in my extended cab s10. so i was just kinda throwin this out there to see what you guys thought about building a box that runs along the back wall and in between the seats. and also where would be the best location for the port. p.s. for got to mention i plan on doing this by removing the center seat.

I picked up my new ride-----a 2005 Dodge AWD RT Magnum-----Cool Vanilla----got it for a great price since I work as a Dodge/Chrysler salesman. man---the MS1000 and Brahma 15 are going to be happy in their new home

Just wondering which would be the better sub.. They are both priced about the same.. And the handling is about the same also..

The title says it all. I live here in Vegas but had to work/didn't realize the show was going on until it was over.

So im going to have to use "gaining down" since ny amp will out more rms than subs are rated. My question is to figure out voltage do i use the ohns there rated at or the ohns i will be wiring them at?

I need to know what the outer diameter including jacket is of WS' 4/0 cable. I need to run it through conduit and need to know what size to buy. Certain sizes start escalating prices like crazy

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/oem/assets/2007_Lancer_RaveCard.pdf That's the system that's currently in my car. I'm wanting to replace the ENTIRE system. I know the amp sits under my driver seat and is a B**** to get to but I want to rip the entire system out and start fresh. I really want bass so I have 2 12" SA-12s waiting to go in. I need: Headunit (preferably single din so i can get an eq) ~$200 4- 6.5 mids - ($100) 2-4 tweeters - ($30? no clue) 4 channel amp to power them. Any suggestions at all will help. Thanks guys. Also if your selling something let me know I like to keep the headunit red to go with the rest of my buttons/lights in the car.

More and more lately I see more and more ROE members, most that are 15-21 that have probably never owned used or seen halfway decent equipment giving advice on which sub is better or amp, box etc. And the people asking these questions are honestly looking for an honest answer from someone knowledgeable that has either use seen or has worked with "x" product. I just see WAY too much this sub sucks or this is better when they've probable never heard seen or used any.. sorry to rant just my 2 cents... Joe...

what are some of your all time favorite songs to play/give demos to?

how much should a t3000bd be sold for used

My dad was looking to buy me a sound system for my birthday, i am looking around, he immideatily eliminated the idea of a subwoofer, so now i have a head unit and new speakers, and an amp (if necessary). I drive a 2004 jeep grand cherokee. I was going to buy with him today, Alpine CDA9886, 1 Alpine SPX-13 REF component set, 1 Alpine SPX-17 REF component set, and to power those speakers i was going to use a autotek SM4-800. I was wondering if this set up would be good, and if the amp would be adequate power for the speakers, i think it goes 100x4 @ 4 ohms.

So I've been waiting quite a while now for the my sub and I barely realized I messed up on the address to deliver to. So now i suffer and try to get it somehow

Alright guys so today i sold my 12" bl and am awaiting my sa-10's. So for now a buddy let me use his little 12" hifonics sub to hold me over until mine arrive. But i honestly dont know what i should do with the subsonic filter now since iv always ran ported lboxes. I have an aq2200 and the ssf goes from 10hz-50hz, so what should i put it at or does it not matter where its at?

I just want to get this straight, the 1/0 run from my amp to battery, i would hook into the 1/0 slot in something like THIS, and then connect that to the actual battery terminal.. right? Also, why does it say its a Pos/Neg battery clamp? (Doesnt it matter which side of the battery you hook it to?) sorry for the pure newbness and Thanks to everyone that replies haha

Should I point the subs forward and ports up or subs up and ports back?
