General Audio

You guys are great here and I know you know a lot. I have a friend that needs to find a high quality line out converter with a remote out for an amp. I don't want the Scosche because it's not the best out there. I was looking at the Southgate LOC but it doesn't have a remote out for the amp. Do any of you know a very good quality line out converter??? Thanks guys.

Has anyone used anything other than the popular Second Skin, Raamat, etc....closed and open cell products with great results. I googled this topic and found several companies proving a wide range of products that have similar claims and prices that vary from the prices on popular car audio products both ways. Just curious. I'm thinking I may try something new.

Or rca side? Thanks

ok so i talked to my friend and hes getting around 13.5 volts to everything in his car. i thought i was only getting about 14, but when i checked it with my DMM im getting something steady between 17.2 and 18.6 is this overkill or is that good?

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…

I am putting a new system in my girls car and was thinking about using some plexiglass on a sealed system. My question is though, how does this affect the sound? I have seen plenty of systems in magazines using plexiglass but never heard one, does it have an impact on the way it sounds or no.

I'm not sure what I'm doing or not doing but this is my problem: I'm running a single Memphis MClass 12" sub in a 1.2cf sealed box that's powered by a USAcoustics2100 (300x1@4ohms/12.9v)in a '93 Altima sedan. My HU is a Pioneer 5500mp w/2v preouts, 2 cheapo (soon to be replaced) Jensen 5x7s in the front doors which are amped by a Hifonics Falcon (90x2 @4ohms). When driving around, w/the gains down on the front speaker amp, my average listening volume is around 20-30 (20 if my wife is with me) out of 62 (car's quiet inside and volume at 30 is plenty sufficient from front speakers). Any louder and the midrange and highs start screaming at me but toning down the mids/high…

I really hate to even ask, but are there any good subwoofer grille recommendations? I use my trunk pretty often, and even with my current sub I get nervous about things rubbing up against it, or worse. As much as I dont want to cover up the Icon sub I ordered, I also dont want to ruin it, especially since I'll be packing my trunk full with an upcoming road trip. Any grille suggestions?

blast it all. i saw my voltage was at 11.3v with the car off and that wasnt normal. when i went to start the car, it dipped to like 7 and im like whoa crap. for some reason the car started and it was even lower at 10.3 sometimes dipping to 9.8. i was all freaked out and my dad looked it over and come to the conclusion my alt wasnt charging. hmmm maybe this is a sign i should use my 250a i have lyin around in my closet lol

Just got my 2 SA-15's and I didn't get any stickers, probably cause they were used and I didn't buy them directly from sundown's website butt how do I get ahold of some? Thanks

car is a 1988 toyota camry deluxe 4wd sedan. all factory. double din h/u, 4" fronts, 5.25" rears. here are the wants.. single din h/u 4" two ways 5.25" two ways budget for everything, including dash kit/harness is right around $300-$350. would like a h/u with sub control for later and a dedicated sub preout at the bare minimum. all stuff can be used and if it's something personal, i even have some stuff to trade to help. i have a mach5 12, or a la x2 12, or a rl-i8 or a rl-p12 or a pair of clarion 8's for subs, but that will come later. right now, just the basics. i'm asking you guys to help because i really don't have the time to dig around the net to find the best deal.…

Lately I've been looking into Fibeglass subwoofer enclosures and I'm just wondering if they function any differently then an MDF enclosure? I've done some research and wouldn't think it would affect the sound if it was properly constructed but alot of people online have said that MDF is the way to go. Is that just because MDF is so much easier to work with or does fiberglass really affect the output of the woofer? Also, after looking around the site alot of people here use fiberglass for speakers and midbass drivers but not many use it for Subs and that got me worrying about it too. If any of the Guru's here could shed some light on the subject it would be greatly appreci…

So i am planning to rebuild and i was planning on 4 15's but don't want to give up that much space. I would like to keep it at the c-pillar. So i was thinking 3 15's. So what would i have to worry about wiring up 3 subs? I have 2 AQ2200d to power them so if i strap them i would like to stay near the 2 ohm's. I dont know much about box rise but if i had them wired at 1.5ohm's would that be ok? What other suggestions do you guys have

Is there anyone near bloomfield hills michigan that can come to my house and do my installation? I do not trust going to mickey shores or car tunes. I trust people like you guys there are experienced with this top of the line stuff. SO please anyone in my area ill give u a 80-100 bucks to install my system..

so in my blazer my current setup right now is 4 p3 fosgate 12s on one sundown 3500. my box is a little under 8 cuft tuned to 37ish hz. my score was a 147.2 and it peaked at 46hz. I'm fairly pleased with what it did considering when we clamped the amp for my second run, I did the same score but the amp was only doing 1863 watts!? I'm pretty sure that my alt might have something wrong with it that's why the power wasn't there. well what do you guys thiink? is it a respectable score?

Can you guys help me out I want a better system some 15s I was thinking 2 of the z 4s with a saz3500 idk how that would work I want to spend 3 grand I already have wiring kit and head unit.

I gotta go run and pay insurance.....that's all i got for now! Brb

Im doing some research currently trying to figure out exactly what i want to do ltr this summer when I rebuild my system and am looking for some advice. Here is some background to make this easier for yall. Vehicle: Chevy Colorado Crew Cab Deck: Pioneer Premier DEH P-690 UB Amp: Undecided but currently leaning towards the Kicker ZX700.5 Sub: 10" SSA Dcon going into a custom sealed enclosure in the rear of the truck Front Stage: Undecided Rear Stage: Will decide after settling on front stage The truck is already deadened and the doors are sealed up. Speakers are 6.5s and will be going into the stock locations and Im going to run them passive. Im looking to spend around 20…

I need to test my old bd1000.1 but need to figure out what speaker wire is what to hook up to my line output converter. Nothing is marked in any way besides color. This is for a 06 impala without bose.all the power and everything is hooked up. Just waiting to test the rcas. The left rear speaker has brown and yellow and the right rear speaker has blue and light blue. Any ideas one which is positive and negative? I need to find out if this amp works or I'm gonna but a new one ASAP.

So I just installed a LOC on my front channels and ran the RCA cable to the rear..Tried to take off the passenger door panel based off what I found on google. Didn't work out so well (Said screws were somewhere they werent, still no idea what I need to unscrew to lift the panel off..) Any tips? Vehicle is a 2006 tahoe.

I'm thinking about buying an RLP 15" for my home audio needs. I've always wanted to try SS audio and just haven't gotten around to it but what better way then HT! My question is how much power does this thing need to sound good in an HT setup? I read from a different thread that anywhere from 2.0^3's to 4.0^3's tuned from 17hz to 20hz will be best so within that range of box specs, how much power will it need?

I want to get 8 gauge speaker wire for my speakers and was wondering if it matter if I use "Power Wire"? Here is the link. KnuKoncepts Power Wire And if I want 5 feet i would really need to double it for positive and negative so it would come out to 10 feet in quantity, right? Thanks in advance, Never bought from KnuKoncepts.

ok so i just checked my tweeters out today and their blown....so i was wondering what tweeters should i get ( i just need two) and the ones that blew were diamond audio s600 hex. Also should i use bass blockers this time because i believe that they blew because they were getting to low of a frequency.
