I know this has been covered before but I cant find it on the search feature. It would be a sealed box under the seat of a crew cab sierra Would 3 10s sealed hit harder than 2 12s. Using the same amp to each of them a RF Power 800a2

i just downloaded winisd so i can model my ssd15 in a new enclosure to see the difference between the current 2.5cuft and the new 4cuft bow im planning on building. where do i find the Pe,Le,Z,dia? i have the other numbers off of the fi website but i believe i need these for it to work correctly... i would greatly appreciate any help.

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 need a new alt cause im about to put 2k rms in my car. Already found one from excessive- 200A. Did the math for the amps, should be good. He includes diff. guages of wire, I knew I would need that but what guage? 2? He says that it should bolt right on, but is there anything else I need? What about fuses and their ratings? Since this isnt in my area im just going to have my mechanic put it in but I want all the parts ready to go cause I dont think his parts are as cheap as excessive's...

im getting 2 skar 12's soon and i was wondering if someone can make me some box plans? i want a ported box tunes to 32hz and about 3.5 cubic feet after displacements.i will get max measurements tomorrow since its night time and its raining/snowing right now.

when i think about the next setup i want, I just dont know what i want because i listen to a lot of double bass and rap. Is there a type of enclosure that has acoustically accurate response appropriate for rock but also has the ability to get low? low meaning like 30 hertz ish. Haven't heard many ported setups other than my own on rock, and they always sound like shit compared to a sealed box. But I don't actually know if its because of my box, or because its an spl sub, etc. anyone have any advice? EDIT: I'm talking about subs just incase anybody didnt realize this

i was wondering if someone could help me. Im getting 2 saz-3000d amps and i want to strap them to push 2 fi BTL's 15" 1ohm dvc setup. I was wondering how i can wire the woofers to get a 1ohm load so i can get the full 3000 watts from each amp, or do i need to wire them for a 2ohm load so each amp gets a 1ohm load im new to dvc subs so this is why i ask. i want each of the subs to be running at 1 ohm no lower.Any help would be greatful thanks a bunch. also one more question wile im thinking about it i plan on getting a powermaster 200amp or more alt and 2 power master d3100 batts one for each amp and upgrade my stock batt to an optima yellow or red top and also run 2 tsu…

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..

Sup, Everyone been out the lime light for awhile now, well funny thing happened today. First things first, been mia, cus someome took my system last year about this same time. So jumped on craigslist and there my sh** wuz right there looking at me, a box w/ 2 dc lvl4 beefed up w/ lvl5 coils, 12's that is ,box 3.24^3 per sub tuned @ 32hz, and a saz 1500d, for $350. Called dude here in town showed him the pics. on my phone of the box and subs. wanted to argue about it but he bought it from someone last year, paid the cash got my system back but, just doesn't feel right, had to do it tho, fool didn't even know what he had, had to get that back mad and grinning at the sameti…

ok so what is box rise and how will it effect me? thanks

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.

Well, my buddy gave me all his old stuff, but I feel kinda bad because he just had a kid and could use the money, so I'm gonna sell all of it and give him the money, BUT, I need some help with prices as research is leading to me to nothing, so What would you guys be willing to pay for this stuff. NO BS either. Rockford Power 501bd, and Power 451s. Both in immaculate condition. Come with a bridge to connect the two together.

With the sale on Flatline amplifiers, it's hard not to resist asking if upgrading is worth it... I currently have a Soundqubed 1200.1 powering my SSA Icon 15 d2 in a sealed 2.6 ft^3 box. Will there be any noticeable difference in loudness? Will this amp provide enough headroom in case I purchase another Icon 15 in the future? Any information would be helpful since there isn't much data on these amps. Thank you

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?

So I'm trying to do the big three and I'm looking for some battery distribution blocks that will fit on my battery posts for 1/0 gauge. I think i need 4 total holes. 1 for my alt to my positive, 1 for my battery ground, 1 for my power wire, and 1 for my negative. anyone know where i can get some for less that $80 all together?

...and one of the main deciding factors was that it has to have a lot of potential for a very good sound stage. Probably something that a lot of you have thought about. What would it be? SUV? Hatchback car? Small? Big? Medium? Oh and it has to be decently quick and cool looking, manual, and around $5.5K used. Since my truck is so unreliable, I'm throwing in the towel and buying something else. Plus everyone who has a standard cab S-10 knows exactly how hard it is to get good sound going in it. I'm planning on doing barely anything on the outside save for some window tint, and doing a very clean, very stealthy install. No bling, no flair. No fancy speaker grilles or brigh…

Hello all, new here. Wanting to get some opinions on my upcoming box build. Never did an extended cab before. Ok so the sub is a 12" Fi BL on a rockford t1500 bdcp. Now the box I have figured is 3.9 cuft gross and 2.5 after all displacement(I plan on double baffling). Port will be a t-line style. My question is Port up? Or Port Forward? Box dimensions are 39" x 15" x 15" so port will be the same either way at 3" x 13.5". Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not going to let the cat out of the bag yet but.....why would I need springs that can handle 780lbs each in the back of my Taurus???? Hmmmmm I wonder???? pic 1 pic 2

Im trying to build my own sub. Im wondering where i can get a basket and softparts. If anyone has any im interested

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.

The 12 Volt Guru also known as Dave Edwards, is a simply amazing man to talk with. I gotta tell eveyone he seems such a simple down to earth man that its rather amazing. I just gotta tell all of you who haven't spkoe to him if you ever get the chance to pelase do so, J

I have an opportunity to buy either. full bodies or mini. I am planning to go full. but my question is: 1. Is it worth the extra money to get the pro instead of the cd1e? 2. Will i notice a significant difference? I plan to use a passive crossover that i will make (from schematics the ID tech gave) but will be EQing using my eclipse cd7000(7band peq). iirc i can only use passive on the cd1e and not the pro. correct? I dont think my deck has a fancy enough dsp to handle the pro?...or am i wrong? thanks. oh btw id like for them to play down to 1kish. my mids are hertz hsk 165s if it matters.
