Hey guyz i was checking out PSI's website for some soft parts and was gonna call but there is no number or address. So then i googled the location for the company and it said Coldwater Ms, thats 10 min away from my house!! Does anyone know if the company is there or if its just the owners house? Help me yall!!

Iv basically heard two opposite ends of the spectrum on this one, Iv seen multiple posts saying that PSI is awful, and then many post saying that PSI is great. Im terribly confused. If you have some experience with PSI or PSI recones id like to get the actual answer just in case I end up dealing with them sometime in the future.

I have a 15" AA SMD that's powered by a Stetsom 7k2e. I will gain down to 3500 - 4000 watts @ 1 ohm. Biggest enclosure I can fit in the trunk is 4.5 - 4.6^3 before displacement. The sub will take up .24 cubes and bracing .2 That leaves me w ~ 4.05^3 before port. I'll be using a 6" PSP Aeroport. A few questions I have are 1. Do you find port area in the straight length pipe, or at the very end (diameter of the mouth opening)? 2. My PSP has a 6" diameter straight pipe that flares out to 8" at the very end (on both sides). Which number do I use to find port area? 3. Do PSP's really require half the recommended port area as a slot or straight round port? If this is any h…

hello, I was trying to see where I could purchase 1 inch mdf fiberboard and how much per sheet? thankds

i am about to get some power wire for my big 3 upgrade and i was wondering wether it matters if i get a cheaper 0 guage wire or shell out and go for a brand name / more pricey wire thanks

Hey guys... so I'm thinking of what kind of vinyl I need to order to cover my door pods, but I don't think I'm going to be about to cover them without cutting the vinyl at least once or twice. My problem is that the speaker baffles stick out at a wide angle, and even with the fleece I had to cut it 2 times to eliminate the huge wrinkle in the back. The part that I plan to cut will not be too visible, it will be the part on the back of the speaker pod facing towards the floor (even with the door open, unless someone gets down there and looks). So my question is to anyone who's tackled something like this can you give some advice? Would I be better off taking these to an …

Hello everyone , i have a 1996 honda civic with a factory cassette player in the floor console, it looks like a single DIN opening, has anyone ever install a cd player into that opening? That would be nice to keep the factory stereo in trhe factory spot and keep my cd player down low.well thanks for any replies........... Brian

I've been looking at posts lately of people putting 8's in there doors and have noticed that pretty much everyone seems to glass the door panel and mount the speaker to the door panel. Can the door panel be made strong enough to handle 200W of 8" midbass pounding away and not really leak around its edges?

So I got meh 4 gauge amp kit today. :bigclap: My dad is fixed on helping me with the install and he said it would be easier to put the amp under the seat instead of in the trunk, and he is worried it might overheat in the trunk on a hot summer day. It fits nice and snug under the seat, and all I would have to run to the trunk would be speaker wire. Is there a reason I shouldn't put it under the seat instead of the trunk?

Is this feasible? Since I will be running sealed to get my backseats back I'm running out of room. need to place a crescendo bc5500 and 1100.4 in my Xb somewhere. Was thinking of building a compartment in the hatch door itself to put the 1100.4. I know running 4 sets of speaker wires along with the 4g power wires will take some time but is this a possibility? Or am I asking for a headache.

everything i'm putting in my car now will be taken out within a year to be put into a new car (crosses fingers) my question is if i put re comps in do would it be worth all the effort. i know it will sound great. but i already know they won't fit in the doors so i'd have to have somthing custom made. if by some miracle i could get them to fit in my car would it be necessary to deaden? car is a 94 pontiac sunbird,,, upgrade car will be 99 eclipse just comps. new battery. another amp. 0awg wire. and big 3 left

I'm using Diamond audio d6 components in the front door speakers and d6 coaxials in the rear powered by a Diamond Audio d3 500.4, two diamond audio 15" d3's powered by a Mmat d2000.1, I listen to rap, r&b, techno/electronica, rock, kompa, and reggae, So I guess you can say I'm an sq guy.

Just showing off a bit and get myself motivated to finish (ahem, get started) on my build. So what do we have here? Oh, yes I did! Here something a bit closer. The main bracket. Overall it's a nice bracket. Spacers are welded onto the bracket, which is a nice touch to ease installation. There is even a strategically placed bend in the bracket for rigidity. High quality fasteners are used throughout the kit. The instructions included are some of the best I've seen. There are lots of words and for those of us with the attention span of a fly there are color pictures as well. Stay tuned for my trials and tribulations installing this monster and upgrading my electrical. F…

Hey guys, just a simple question and looking for some opinions on how the quality of a music file on a USB flash drive compares to, lets say an Ipod via USB connection. What are your thoughts? And are there any noticeable differences?

Now its been awhile so i forgot all the fancy terms but im sure you guys can answer this. So i have my amp set up for my max volum at 25. Now i listen to a lot of reggae and i dont at 25 it doesnt come close to clipping my amp. So is it ok to turn the volume up more?

I was wondering wht would be a good amp to run 4 15" btl subs on to get the best performance .....let me kno

I got 2 12" L7s from a guy the other day. I took them inside to check em out and there is like pillow stuffing in the aeroport. Is that supposed to be there??

I’m probably going to be flamed for this but where would I learn how to build my own drivers like SSA and Sundown do? Do they manufacture the surrounds, cone etc themselves or do they outsource most of the parts and assemble them before selling them? I really want to start my own business someday and car audio is my passion and I would LOVE to learn all I can.

ok so i traded my friend the orions, i got from nccj, for these pioneer subs i got from bb a while back(basiclly i sold him those too and got them back) and he gave me 50bux(in change ) but anyway, i have my PA 3000db, calculated a lil bit, and came up wt these numbers ohms watts gain 8 200 4 1100 900 2 1800 700 1 2300 500 0.5 2550 250 Now the subs are rated at 150rms per sub, so 300total. So i have them in series and thier both 4ohms so it should be 8ohms total. I'm scared to turn them up loud because i dont want to blow them cuz im gonna giv them to my g/f once my subs come in. The gain is set to 0, and all bass is set to 0 and -7on the HU, lol, I can hear it …

Does anyone know if the liquid sound deadeners that you roll on work as good as the mats.

So...what do you think the best one sub and amp would be (also have pro. box built)
