General Audio

Ugh. So i was driving in my car the other day and my speakers sounded all fuzzy like listing to the radio if not worse. Dose anyone know whats wrong with them. im going to take them out and look at them this weekend when i get the time.

Alright so i was messing around with sketchup and i think i have decided on what enclosure designs i want. Specs are not perfect im just aiming for design right now. I want opinions of which you would get or which would work/sound better. Keep in mind its going in a full size standard cab truck #1 #2 #3 (I wont have both ports just didn't know if it would be better to port it on the top or bottom.)

i just want to throw out an overall thank you to everybody here. i have been around this forum for a few months and i have learned more about audio than i dreamed of. the knowledge conveyed and the respect about it is just awesome. so thanks and keep it up. o and happy holidays to all :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap:

im looking for some program where i can like look at songs and see what certain frequencies it's hitting, and boost them... like an audio editing program

I want to use the line out from an Alpine MRP F300 amp to temporarily (1-2mos.) power a mono amp for subs until I get a head w/sub pre-outs. Any suggestions for a good reasonably priced one. This is very temporary. Also, will doing this affect the 4-channel speaker outs of the amp?

well i im south hacken NJ for school and i was wondering any was close by that would let me use their term lab to do some testing on my system after i get it built.....hopefully starting next week.... thanks

Anyone know of a program to make cut sheets for building enclosures?

witch guy is right there is 2 dif opinions lookin for best one thanks http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f27/two-batteries-380297/

After a week or so of research i came to decide on Fi products over Kicker l7s.The only thing is i have so many questions i need answered.I hope im in the right spot for it.Car audio has changed for me over the years.Im now 36 and havent had a good setup since i was 20 or so.So here i go with my list of questions.1. What would be better 2 15s or 1 18?Where can i get help designing a box?"I have a 1996 Chevy 1500 ext cab,taking out back seat"Will the Saz 3000 power either set up?Do i need 2 batteries?Do i need a cap?Do i have enough room for those subs?Why only 1 or 2 ohm config?Will i be happy withg spending the extra cash on Fi?I think i got everything.I have around 1600…

I have an 1988 camaro iroc z. I have drawn out a box plan for the box to set on the hump area. the box numbers are 8"h x 22"d x 40"w. Which is 4.07 cu.ft and 3 net. I have 8" clearance for the port. I am roughtly 2" from the glass on the end of the box. with about 6" from the glass in middle - where the subs would be. I haven't built a box or done any figuring on the numbers. Math was never my strong area, lol. I am looking at doing 3 DD 1508 or 2 SSA Icon 10s. Would this box work? What would my port need to be?

Car; lancer GLX (sedan)i.e. with a boot Speakers: 2x loaded Fi BL's 12's box slot port common chamber The goal is loud daily and I was told 32hz will work well. According to my dodgy calculater the below specs will give 31.44 Hz before a single 45 corner and a 1" front baffle. obviously the one side will have to be lengthened by .25'' ...i think box with 36" box height 14" depth 22.5" wood thickness .75" for most part of it(exept for front baffle -->other ideas welcome) sq port height 12.5" sq port with 4.5" sq port L1 17.25" sq port L2 5" cheers

My buddys in a tight spot right now and has only $600 for HU, 1 sub, amp, wiring, and box. Sub: I think we are going to go with 1 12" sub, thinking about the FI SSD, any other subs that are pretty affordable and good? Spit some ideas out. AMP: I have no idea what will be powering the sub, thinking about 500-800 watts, need some help here as well. HU: Probably looking at the Alpine 9884 If you have a better idea please help me outt, tanx -pear

Hey well I was wondering if someone could design a box for 2 12" Mmats P2.5 its not for me but a friend and he keeps insisting on buying a prefab box or just having the guy build him one but the audio shops here suck ballz so I was just going to give my friend the design to take to the guy to build you know? Anyway Could you tune it to around 35-40hz or what ever you think would sound good with these subs? Im just tryin to help my friend not get ripped on a prefab.... Thanks!!! Voice Coil (Ohms) 2 x 4 Fs (Hz.) 24 Vas (Liters) 117.2 Qts .18 SPL (1W/1M) 89db Power (Wrms) 500 Mounting Depth (inches) 6 1/4 Hole Diameter(inches) 11 1/16 Speaker Displacement (cuft.) .13

well.i have a friend and he needs basically choosing an amp for a 10 w7 .this what he plans to buy but however he needs help choosing an amp that *needs * to come from amazon.i tried changing his mind but its his only option.so what will be a good amp for sq and a good price.

I have noticed as of late that allot of people feel they need 3000+ watts. OK I admit I would love to have a saz 3000d or 2 or 3(lol) but I also understand that I don't have the electrical to run one let alone more than one. I think allot of newer people see big numbers and think if I get that I can do this. what they fail to realize is what it takes to to properly run at these levels. now don't get me wrong I am by no means as knowledgeable as I would like to be, But I am willing to learn and have learned a great deal from this forum. For that I would like to say thanks. I guess what I am getting at is. I have done and have heard systems that sounded great, got quite lo…

So, last night I was cleaning up my amp and re-wiring some stuff and fried my amp. Done for. Hifonics Bxi 1206d. Today I finally get my FI btl 12 fully loaded ! YES. I am putting it in it's custom box and i slipped while drilling it in and drill right though the rubber surrounding dust cap. I am very very very very very pissed. Does anyone have any solutions? i believe you can replace just the dustcap right? Also if anyone wants to sell a saz 1500/3000 let me know. Thanks/.

Well i can hear the Bl is reeking havoc on my box when it hits the low notes i can hear an air leak even with a monster port. Thing is id like to be able to have to option to move from one 15bl too two down the road. Question is do i build 2 separate boxes and just leave one out for now or do i make say a 8+cuft box and run one in it for now. I don't think that would work considering the port area would be to large for just the one sub right? Anyways i got a 21.5xin40inx26in (HxWxD) space to work with and i can barley manage it but i can get two 21x20x26 boxes with 4.01cuft after displacement and tuned to 32hz in there. what do you guys think i should do?

how the hell does he get 4awg to fit in the terminals on the woofer

so i have been searching around for a solid definition and i cant find any so any help would be greatly appreciated

well i have come across this store called mobile sound works on ebay i was just wondering if it is a good store or if anyone has went through them before thanks

So im getting a silverado for christmas the 00' - 06' body style. I think thats the years. Anyways its the one before the newest one. I really want a standard cab and i plan on getting 1 BL 10" ported. Can anyone with a standard cab silverado tell me how much room is behind the seats? Does anyone have a box behind there truck seats? Not just a silverado. Looking for all kinds of ideas. Thanks, Drake

Well I'm trying to talk to my dad about my system, keep in mind I'm only 16. And he is funding for most of my first system. I was talking to him about building a box and everything and he said it was too much work when you could just go out and buy a nice prefab box. Well of course I explained to him that a decent prefab 4.0cuft box will be like $150 shipped, why do that when you can make your own for like $50. He went on about carpeting the box and how the fiber board falling apart or something when you drill down the screws? So he said why don't you just get one of those loaded enclosures and amps from best buy or circuit city? I tried to explain that those are overpri…

how many watts is hifonics amps over rated

the plan is to get the 15 l7 walled off and deaden the cab with a roll of raamat. im planning on keeping his factor stereo because he has the digital climate controlls build in. its the mach audio system so there is a factory amp. ive been told its puts outs 20x4. id like to add the mtx req if anyone thinks it would help. and as far the speakers go idk what id like to do here. budget is about 150-175. or $250 budget if u throw out the mtx req and go a different way with that. any advice?

So I am going to do the big 3 on my 2001 Jetta. I am going to be using 4awg. When you guys upgrade the alt. to the battery positive is it a straight run, from alt. to battery? I dont know much about cars but my cousin said the the wire goes from the alt. to the starter than to the battery, is it like this with all cars?
