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

Can anyone help me ? I am trying to run the factory video sound thru my head unit. Now I am new to this so be easy with the terms and all . What I own 1999 Oldsmobile Sillhouette JVC El Kameleon Head Unit MTX 12" Sub I am not sure if you need more info but if you do feel free to ask. Now my problem is this when I put on the fold down screen it and have the radio on the rear speakers go off. Its set that way from factory. but to even hear the video trhu any speakers at all I have to totally shut off the hEAD uNIT ( IT DID THIS WITH THE ORIGINAL sTOCK RADIO aLSO) I want to know how and if I can bypass that and set it to go thru the aux. line in my head unit so that the mo…

I need to get a custom box for my SP4 15s fully loaded. I have an 2011 yukon that's needs some much need attention LOL

Ok, first of all, whats the most impressive system that you've seen, in terms of small. Like didnt thumper's 10"s do like 141 db? Along the likes of small subs getting loud, or really loud single sub systems... And the other thing, my friend is asking me about the "G's" of some subs... What the hell? He could be dumb enough to be talking about gravity... well, i come back to him saying "Gs?" and he says "Exactly u don't kno nothing about speakers... Every speaker has g-forces or it wuldnt play..." then the rant began.... bah haha

have a jl 6 channel amp And cdt audio 6.5 components. the right front speaker sounds fine. the left front is very quiet and when the input level is turned up is stays quiet and gets distorted. i have changed all the wires. Interchanged the cross overs. I have tried every channel on my amp. i have even tried changing speakers and the same results. I don't think there is any thing else that could be the problem. Every thing else works fine. If you hook up the speaker directly to the amp it is fine. But with the crossover it does not. When you first hook up the speaker it gives a little loud burst of noise and then gets quiet again. I don't understand it. Can anyone give me …

Looking for 18" PRs. So far, all I can remember is AE and CSS. Anyone remember any others?

So first off, I'm running a '99 Pontiac Grand Am. As we all know, the space in a Grand Am is EXTREMELY limited when it comes to car audio installs.. SO I had a few questions for my future install. I'm really looking into an 18" Fi BTL for the car, but there is not enough room in the trunk to build a box big enough to appropriately house this large of a subwoofer. So my questions are: 1) If I were to take out my back seats and just build a wall to put the sub in, would this be a better idea? 2) If so, what would I do about porting the "wall" to a specific frequency? (30-35 hertz) 3) If a wall isn't the best route to take in this situation, are there any other ways to s…

heres the situation..from my battery under the hood to the back of my truck is about 10 feet..but im giving a extra 3 feet better to have more then less..and im also running 2 batteries under the hood with 2 batteries in the back..now keep in mind i have never installed my own stuff ive always had people i know and trust do it..so im just buying the wires for them..so by my calculations i should need somewhere around 25-30 feet of 0 guage wire to fulfill this project? by the way the 2 batteries in front will be about 4 feet apart from each other..1 on each side and in the back the other 2 batteries will be next to each other.and there will be 2 amps back there has well..c…

Hey, I just bought a whole bunch of twisted speaker wire for my install. 8-16AWG http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.c...Speaker%20Kable I have no idea how I splice it to be able to attach female disconnects or screw the individual wire into adapters.

I want to test the cranking amps of my batteries... Does anyone know what equipment i can buy to do that?

i dont know if its my subs suck, the amp, or the box i built.... i have a single 12" Kicker CVR, in a box with insulation, and a few small drill holes to let a lil air out, and a 600w rms infinity amp. the dry notes im talking about... like in bass, i love you,by.... basstronics?? i forgot who it is, but that really really low note. i cant hear it at all. when i had 2 12" in my back seat, i could see the subs moving like crazy, but not much sound or feeling in the car. but now its in my trunk with 1 12", which im suprised sounds the same, if not better than how it was. i havent looked to see if it flexed like crazy, but i know i cant hear it in the car. theres also... i p…

How much 1/0 should I buy for the van? I was thinking about replacing the runs already in the van with new wire, so what 100' power and like 25' ground? Also, how thick speaker wire would you use for roughly 1000w per woofer? I figured 10awg speaker wire should suffice just fine. Although 8awg could happen if needed.

i did a price match with SonicElectronix they have there kicker pdk1 kits for $120 and i found it on another site for $85 and they price matched it..i just ordered 2 more kits for $170 with the coupon code..im not sure if it still works but i tryed adding a kit to cart and put in the code and the item went down to $85 so give it a try if you need some..heres the code lp17021k

Ive got an alpine mrp m350 amp that does 350 watts @ 2 ohm and a 4 ohm dvc ssa dcon 10". Im trying to run the sub at around 300-350 watts in parallel at 2 ohms. I want to accurately set my gain and found the equation that you are suppossed to use to find the optimal volts. Voltage = sqrt(rms x impedence) So is this what i would do for my 4 ohm dvc woofer? Voltage = sqrt(300x4ohm) Voltage = sqrt(1,200) Voltage = 35 Or is it this since im running the amp at 2 ohm to a 4 ohm dvc woofer Voltage = sqrt(300x2 ohm) Voltage = sqrt(600) Voltage = 24.5

What kind f paint do I use on plastic interior panels?

So i want to use this device to power my REMO on 3amps and 4 fans! 4-Position Dual-Row Barrier Strips - RadioShack.com or 8-Position Jumper - RadioShack.com so will this work for what i need or am i better off just using a relay?

I have a 09 charger my stock speakers in the front are 6x9 and my rear deck also has 6x9 ,i want to change each of them to the kicker 6.5" component sets could i run these off the saz 50.4?They say there 75 watts rms...

Just as topic said. I plan to upgrade my alternator. Currently my alternator is rated at 60 amps (I know...) and plan to upgrade maybe twice the size (minimum of 100 amps) for daily. I dont need high power alternator as I am not competing... well maybe 1 or 2 comps doesnt hurt. My question is, is there a risk of upgrading to a bigger alternator??? Do i just swap it, make a bracket for the new alternator? Or do I really need to install 2nd battery for that. Reason being is that I was told by the shop that if you upgrade to a big alternator.. it will fried all your electrical components in your car as its capable to put out more current than the stock alternator. I unde…

ok so my stock tweets are going to sh1t, they make a static noise all the time. so im thinking of just buy some aftermarket ones instead of stock, but i have no clue what to look for in tweets. like soft dome, hard the different materials like silk, titanium, etc. so if someone could give me a crash course in tweets it would e awsome. all i ahve is the HU for power and NO crossover just those gay inline bass blockers. i know ghetto but i wasn't planning on upgrading them but this static is relly gay.

I need 2.5 cubes @ 33Hz. The box will be 15Hx36Wx12.5D with 3/4mdf which should net 2.96cuft.Displacement 0.14cuft. Now the problem! Can anyone tell me what tune the box will have if I go 2.5Wx14L?? I think I am way off here. After adding .75 to the ports width for the wood wall I finished with 2.47cuft. Which is pretty close to the 2.5cuft goal. I am open for suggestions with the whole box and can trash the 15h x 36w idea. Also, would be great if I knew the exacts for finding a ported boxes tune in standard. Thanks for any ideas and help in advance.

Gonna put some subs under the rear seat in my 2007 Silverado. If I face the subs firing out into the cab, the biggest subs I can fit without moddifying the seats are 8's. But if I face em up, I can get away with 10's or possibly 12's. My question is: Would firing the subs up into the bottom of the seat effect their sound? Is this advisable to do, or would there not really be a difference? Thanks.

Told me sundown amps put out dirty power I just laughed and left
