Hey i got the 2 12" Bl's and you designed me the box, had the box built for 400 bucks, got the amp installed and the subs slam, insane man im so happy i went with FI, i have a kicker 2500 on the subs, but quickly just want to know about break in, i have them playing kinda hard right now but my amp isnt putting out the correct wattage im only getting about 15 volts, and i need 70.7 for 2500 watts at 2ohms, my gain is up to max and i use bass boost, but im getting no distortion so im guessing im ok? sorry i couldnt take more time to write this out but im at work and going quick

jus wanted to say that bel air is bad ass and good job check it out http://www.powerbassusa.com/demo_car/democar.html

what are some of your all time favorite songs to play/give demos to?

this is the first time ive seen or heard of this......but my d-block is melting........i recently put in some rl-i 8s, turned the gain up a little bit, didnt change anything else. the amp itself is not getting any hotter, but the end of the fuse and the base under the connection to the 8awg is bubbling. what is causing this and what can i do about it? the amp is a diamond d3400.2 subs: rli 8" d4 running 4awg to the fused d-block *konfused d-block* and 8awg after it my DMM is currently MIA otherwise i would test my current draw on the amp

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…

Here is the planned system. 1995 s-10 blazer is the ride. High output alt (200-300 amp output). Yellow top optima up front. Two, for now, Kinetik khc2400 batteries in back. Four MA Audio hk802sx amplifiers. Two channel high current amps rated at 4400 watts RMS x1 @1ohm. We are guessing with full power behind them they will put out about 3500 watts each. Four FI Audio BL 15s. My question is this. Should a guy run two or four runs of 0 gauge wire to the back? Please explain why you say which one. I think two will work as the two of them can transfer around 600 amps through thier 13-14 foot lengths and that is about all that is available from the alt and battery…

Well as much as it pains me to have done it the x-cons have been sold to stefanhinote. I was in the search of more SPL and i made a final decision on two 15" BTL N2s. Let me tell everyone now by no means are the x-cons quiet i recently got a 148.2 on music sealed. Thats in a box tuned to 30hz and not the optimal port area for spl. Mind you while doing this they sound simply amazing. Ill never stop supporting SSA and i can tell you guys now my next car will be another set of x-cons for everyday ground pounding. For now though i wanna compete and its time to move to something louder.

Im trying to remember what thsi deck was, I think it was somehting like a cdx-90, it was made somewhere around 98-00. Big time SQ unit, Im just about positive the number on it was something 90. Anyone remember exactly what it was? Ive been looking for one for a while.

I'm going to be selling my rockford t1 15 but I'm going to build a new box for it. My current one is tuned to 38hz which is probably why my lows aren't to good. I want to try tuning it to 32hz unless someone has a better recommendation. This is the box I have right now - http://imageshack.us/a/img828/4849/imagesyn.jpg I want to keep the height the same, but knock the depth about 2-3inchs if possible, and my width can be bigger. I'm not very understanding of port size and how to get that tuning/and get the cubes it needs with the different size port.

Yep, a noob q. Got some RL-p pron here. I want to remove the sound because, well, the camera makes it sound like How do I accomplish this task?

Anyone know of a program to make cut sheets for building enclosures?

someone has offered webspace, now we need some people to help retrieve/send, and input the info i think it would be cool if a group of us puts together a database of audio equipment with pix and specs and share it with everyone else. freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i dunno if this has been tried before, but i think it might be a fun little project happy?

Can you believe i finally got to meter the MOAB today ;D I got in the lane and they had the 30sec crapp going on and had a wackass burned cd none of the tracks were labled and only jumped in increments of 5. > i did the sweep and by the time i found the track with the tone my time was up > we only got 1 run... Rippoff but i did manage to get a 149.8db @ 5oHz ON THE DASH.

This is for a buddy at work. He has a 02 extended cab and doesn't want to remove his back seats so it needs to go under them. Has a prefab now he hates. Don't blame him. I'm having trouble finding any build logs on this phone like his. What have others done? No doubt he needs to build one just want to do some homework before sending him off. Thanks

hello. i have a new alpine type R that does 600rms. i was going to get the SAZ-1000D when i get money ( so many good reviews) its perfect for 1 (at 2 ohms x 600rms) my question is will it be enough for 2 alpine type R's at 1 ohm ? 1000rms? ( buying another one later)

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...

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 …

I'm kinda new to car audio. Right now I'm just running a sundown e8v3 on a boss armor 1500 which actually puts out the ammount I need. Anyway I really want to upgrade and be loud. I'm not about spl and hitting high dbs more about music and perceived loudness. I can work with about 3.5 cubic foot box. I'm considering either a fi q 18 or a fi bl 15. I just need advise on which would be better.

if i'm correct the better the RCA the better luck you have with not getting road noise right? so i know the best brands are monster, kicker, and RF. do you think kicker 09z series are worth the extra few dollars or should you just go with the cheap scorche RCA's?

Anyone have the Pioneer 3200BT HU? I have had mine for over a year now and I just recently bought the aux in/usb cable to play video from my ipod. Except there is one problem. . . I can't figure out how to get video to play on the HU, I have looked on the unit manual online and the video portion appears to be for a 3200DVD and when I am just using my Ipod it will play the music video's, but once I plug it into my HU I can get audio but no video. Anyone know how to fix this?

We have a Skar Audio RP-1200.1D and we have it hooked up to a 18 Skar Audio 600 wattt 1 ohm sub woofer . If we hook 1 subwoofer will it be receiving 1200 RMS ?

Does anybody else run their mids and highs with their head unit? I would get a separate amp but I'd need to upgrade my electrical beforehand. I have re 6x9s in the back and stock in the front and its really not loud at all....to be honest the stock Charger SXT head unit sounded great but since I switched it the panasonic head unit its really not as audibly sound.

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.
