is $20 a fair price for an enclosure design?

Okay I am thinking about purchasing a Kicker Solo Baric L7 15" and the guy selling it to me is charging me 200 dollars, is that a good price? It's about a year old and in a ported box. Also he is selling me a Sundown SAE-1000d for 250 is that a good price? Would i need another battery to run this sub?

Anyone have their website? Any idea if they are still in business? Looking to see what they have for subs now. Our shop tried a few of them last year and they were decent.

My buddy drives a '00 frontier with a jvc head unit with aux. His 6 3/4" door speakers are blown so they are disconnected and the only speakers he had were the stock tweeters in the door. He got in the truck and no sound was coming from the tweeters. Tried CD player, aux, radio and nothing. Were thinking the tweeters could have taken a dump or the head unit is poop, or maybe a loose connection somewhere? What could this be?

I'm having a problem getting a straigh answer on whether or not i can install my two 12" kove subs into my 96 aurora. The problem is I have a factory bosse system with the factory cd changer. According to a few places I've called my subs cannot be added without a new cd player or getting rid of the speakers in the back. I think some of the places are just trying to make me buy a new cd player. I also don't see why I would have to get rid of the back two speakers to add two subs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone had problems getting their orders from fi? I ordered two ssd's on the 10th and they initiated shipping process on the 15th, but has never sent it out. Just wondering if that's typical or not. Anybody with fi experience please let me know.

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 recently had my blazer broken into, had my FI Q's stolen along with the rest of my setup. Found some RE SR's on craigslist for a good price, so I picked 'em up, and got an autotek ss1000.1d to push them. My '06 civic has a really strange dash, and I was wondering what kind of power and sound quality losses I would suffer if I kept it stock instead of installing my Alpine CDA-9883. Also, I was wondering if anyone had any help as to what LOC would give me the least unwanted noise, and how much it would cost to have one professionally installed by a local car audio shop directly to my rear speakers.

I installed my kenwood kdc x794 in my 05 yukon with factory bose system so I had to use the metra gmos 04 adapter to keep chimes and factory amp untill I get money go upgrade all components, also I installed the metra aswc and now when the radio is on but turned all the way down I get some alternator whine out of only one speaker and I never had the whine before the gmos04.... I've took it apart twice and re wired and still can't get rid of it.......help please

I recently installed a Pioneer Premier 490iB in and 01 accord. The install kit had a wire for a dimmer (orange w/ white stripe) and an illumination wire (orange) the Pio HU only has an orange illumination wire. So I combined the two together and now my friends dimmable dash lights do not work. I have googled this to death, found a few topics with the same problem but none with an answer... So I went back in an just snipped the dimmer wire away from the illumination wires but the problem still remains. I really don't see how the dimmer is controlled through the headunit. I could have possible blew a fuse when I wired it like I did but I went through all the fuses I could …

I had this posted in the Fi forums, but I stopped getting replies so I figured I'd post out here. I bought an Fi Q12 and a Cadence TXA1000D around the new year. I got it all installed about 1.5 weeks into January. Everything was playing great for a while, sounded awesome. Well last week I was out driving around and my sub started to cut out. It would play some notes and then it would stop. A few seconds later it would start back up, play a few, and then stop. The next day I started playing it again and it sounded fine for about five minutes and it started to do the same stuff. Now, it wont hit anything. Every once in a while it will hit, out of no where, just ran…

I'm posting this thread in the general section so that maybe more people will see it. This is a plea to get people to write product reviews. In my opinion, that is one of the most valuable resources that this forum can have yet it is being severely underutilized. Write a review about all of your equipment, not just subs (as I know that's the most popular). We get many threads each day with people trying to figure out what equipment to buy and we could point them to the review section. But right now there are about four reviews in the last four months in there. However, there is a caveat to my encouragement. Please write a good review. This includes positives and neg…

I have seen it talked about here several times but i cant find it for anything. What is a program i can use to analyze the frequencies of songs i have? Would like to see what frequencies certain songs are playing at.

Alright well to start, I'm an experienced music producer/recording engineer. I'm starting to incorporate my music into my car audio hobby. I've been making a few bass tracks to test out and demo with in my car. My question: What's a good program to use to find peak frequencies in a song? I'm going to start finding this out in my bass songs and posting them up here on the forum for people to use and test out. Also, I'd like some feedback, and maybe videos of people using them.

im not sure if this is were to ask or if it should be in the electronics and computer section if its the wrong section can someone please move it for me thanks i was wondering what some of the FREE soft were programes pepole are using to cofigure there builds and outputs are? also what would be a good programe to get if i was to buy one?

I have a gallon of Spectrum and 20sq.ft. of rattle pad...Install starts tomorrow afternoon!!

Alright so im getting ready to start my first project on my car and i had a few questions before i ordered everything. 1. on the Big 3 is it okay to use my alternator case as an engine ground for the chassis to engine ground run? 2 Im planning on getting an amp for my front stage and an amp for the subs. Im confused on how i would run my 1/0g wire from the battery to both of those amps. do i need one or two runs from the battery?

well one of my buddys is wanting a good cheap and lightweight SQ set-up in his Z3-----so here is what I have in mind-----thanks goes to Partsexpress.com http://img450.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s40100150rq.jpg http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s40100169po.jpg http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s40100179jc.jpg

I want to ground 0gauge to frame on my quad cab ram.. I dont want to ground to underseat bolts or any area from the inside of cab. The shortest length from mount to frame rail is 1.5 ft to inside cab. My idea was to have a bolt weldeld to frame closest to my wire entry to cab. Is 3or 4ft ok for a ground wire at zero gauge..

2004 chevy silverado xcab clarion dxz955mc source unit (installed) kicker kx 2500.1 kicker kx 4 channel, undetermined yet kicker ss 6.5 componets (to replace the memphis sq) kicker rmb or ss 8 (will either go where the factory 4x6's are or in custom door pods) kicker 8L7's x 4 under the backseat, hopefully ported. if i have to go sealed, then i might try to squeeze 4 10L7's. whatcha think? changes, idea's? will probably throw a blue top back there, and change all the wiring out for kicker as well. dunno yet. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I was debating on buying a refurb or not. Db-r has some good deals, but being that they are rebuilt by db-r and not sundown, i was kinda iffy if the build quality would be the same. Maybe its just me but when i hear refurb, i think defected product that will probably break again. They do have a 1 year warranty which is helps. I guess im just looking for a little input on what everyone thinks about refurbs. Thanks

Has anyone came across any problems with their ps2's in the trunk with alot of bass in their trunk.
