Before I get into too much detail I need to go over some information about the gear I'm working with. I currently have a 2.7cu ft box with a 15" sub in it that takes up most of my trunk. I have just enough space to fit my Cadence TXA-1000D amp in front of it. I also have a Pioneer GM-6300F 4ch amp. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Pro...Series/GM-6300F So my sub and mono amp are going in the trunk, and I'm trying to determine placement of my amp and consequent amp install gear, both of which are variables that depend upon each other for optimal results. So I purchased this http://www.tsunamionline.com/product.php?id=532 a couple of months ago. (view page source to g…

Hey i was wondering how you calculate how much air space you have in your vehicle?

I'm really new to car audio and i'm going to get a full set up. i need advice on what to get. i want a system for mostly hip hop and rap. I'm on a budget of around $1,600 Max h/u - $550 max speakers - $250 i'll most likely ill get the btl "15 or "12 but i need suggestions on how to order those i'm pretty lost when it comes to amps and i really need help with them i also want to get higher quality speaker wire. any helpful suggestions would really be appreciated

Alright, so I would like to get some input from the community on this one. Just a note, when I say "I", I will be referring to anybody building a system. Ok, so if I was to build a brand spanking new system in a completely stock vehicle. Where would I start, and where would I finish? That is the main question that this thread is created for. I am looking for inputs on how a system should start IDEALY for someone that is starting from scratch. Lets just assume that money, space, and time is out the picture on this one, which I am fully aware is never the case. Where should a person start. I am going to list thing is ascending order, starting from the most important, to the…

Not sure if this will work or not, i'm scared that the subs won't move the air into the box. And yes it is a tight space. Im just going to take out the 6x9's and leave the metal sheeting but have the holes there. My main concern is the box though. Would it even be a point in porting it and if so where? Plan on starting this later today, or whenever i get some wood. or maybe angled like this

What is a good alternator brand to look into, and what are the bad thing that could happen if I upgrade my alternator?

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

I have a 15.5 cu ft trunk supposedly.... thats Manufacter specs of my 1996 Taurus. How many Sq Ft of damplifier should I get to cover the Walls, Lid, and Floor completely? How ever much it takes will dictate which Damp I get. if 20 sq ft will do it I AM A get Damp Pro but if a little more than that is needed Im going to get 40 sq ft of regular Damplifier and just add a second layer with whatever I got left.

When you start a new project, do you set a budget? Do you lay out how much you are willing to spend for each piece of the system? Do you usually wind up adjusting those numbers? Have you gone, or are you, overbudget right now? If so, why? - Steve

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

Is this place legit? I ordered my alpine 9887 from there When I tried calling it goes straight to voicemail and when I E-mailed it said that E-mail was invalid... http://clarityelectronics.com/

My friend is deciding on an 18 for his van, and i told him i'd help him out by buying his 15's he has just chillin. They are Fusion Powerplant series, the older green ones, that are 450rms. I looked all over and i just couldnt find anymore info on the old models; does anyone have any experience with these subs? I am looking to make an spl (burp) setup for my moms hatchback. I would either get a AQ2200D or a Sundown 2000D. Bell's ringing, if any info is needed, just let me know.

I was wondering how much of an audible difference more port area would make. For instance my 12 is in a 2 cu. ft box with 2X13 port area which is 26 sq. inches of port. Would a 3x13 port make it that much louder or is more port area just desirable for chasing tenths on the tl. More port means a bigger box but is it worth it? I know higher tuning will definitely make it louder but i don't compete so i would never tune above 35 hz. Or perhaps i need a bigger sub . I'm more of a basshead than i thought.

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 started a thread recently in which I got some good advice about specs for new box. I was told that I needed to build a new box with a higher tuning(37-39 hz) to accomodate my AQ driver. After building the new box, the driver has become irritatingly peaky. It hits a 45 hz note very well but drops off significantly on lower notes (30-32 hz). What can I do to eliminate, or atleast decrease, the peak?

I was wondering if I could run 2 1,000 watt amps to 1 btl 15 Is that possible?

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

I recently purchased a 2001 Buick lesabre and want to put a system in it. First things first I need to get a decent head unit in there, tape player isn't gonna cut it lol. But I want to make sure it's done right, I want to keep my steering wheel controls and I was told I'll need something to either bypass the stock amp or integrate it. I've researched it a little but I don't know that I'll get it right still so I came here for help. Is there anyone that has installed a after market headunit in one of these cars? What exactly do I need so that everything will be functional and done correctly?
