Alot of people on this forum ask what vehicle a setup is gonna go into as a factor for selecting what kind of equipment they recommend. What I would like to know is, Are there certain vehicles that are better suited for a certain application? I.E. Vans for SPL? Cars for SQ? I know my question is pretty vague but I guess what I'm asking is, is there a direct relationship from the amount of air displaced by the sub to the amount of air in the cab of the vehicle to achieve maximum spl or sq? If there is, what would be the formula for finding the max airspace for any given sub configuration. For instance, having the same 1200 watt amp, electrical, HU, even leather seats, will…

hey guys, im looking to buy a sub woofer for my car, im just interested in what you guys would recommend. i mostly listen to rap/reggaeton (if you guys know what it is lol). would like to get a single 15". would I probably buy a saz-1500d or wait until the saz-2000d comes out (since all i hear is positive things from sundown amps ) the cars a 05 dodge stratus.

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.

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

.............. I don't have that much $$$ flow right now and my current setup of 2 JL 10"s just aren't doing the trick. I was offered a box that holds two 12"s but I don't know the dimensions of the box (it was in an 88 Camaro) ........ I was wondering what would be a cheap way for me to get by with some good sounds........... I was thinking maybe 2 Rockford HX2's and some somewhat cheap amp............ any help/recommendations would be largely appreciated........ Thanks, Jonathan Idk...... maybe some Audiobahn's or something......... I'm up for any info or recommendation........ Thanks …

if i get a little mdf dust down by my coil etc, will it be fine and blow out eventually, or is it going to cause problems?

hey guys i have a 1997 f150 single cab with a 95A alternator. i think im going to get for my front stage Rockford Fosgate T1572C coaxial 5x7 and i am only going to use 2 and get rid of the back to stock speakers. I am going to run them off of the sundown 100.2 amp. For my sub i am going to get a FI Q and put it in a ported box and run it off of a sundown saz 1000 d amp. I am also going to do the big three, and for sound deadening i am going to use secondskin Damplifier. My questions are what do u guys think on that set up idea? anyflaws or suggestions u would liek to add? and i am wondering wat different gauge wire's i should use for everything? I also need some ideas for…

I have an amp and a pair of speakers and im not sure if they are good or not. What would you guys rate them from 1/10, i got them both for free so im not to concerned if they are good or not. Speakers - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3230_P...1-2-+4-Way.html Amp - http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Alpine_MRV-T502/

quick question are these two run by same owners? just curious because in the sound solution audio store there is second skin audio stuff? but both have same acronym SSA? lol maybe a coincidence or not. but just curious? i was watching this old video and they mentioned second skin audio, which got me thinking?

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.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the Hz of this song 50k waka flocka please i wanna make sure its what i think it is.

I had another G35 buddy come to me about a subwoofer setup a few weeks back. Seems he bought one of the prefab enclosures made to fit the trunk of the g35 that they sell on ebay. The problem... Box for 2 10" subs was only .8 cubes gross. He was looking at a few different subs, mainly JL, and was settling on the W3's. I happened to stumble across a great deal on RE SR10's and he ordered them, the nice thing about them is that they can play better than most given limited airspace. Even though the box is a lil tight, they don't seemed choked for air on the lows which i envisioned the w3's to be. Threw in a bit of polyfill to pick up some of the slack there. After woofer dis…

(1) Alpine SWR1242D (1) MB Quart DSC1000.1 Sub is 4ohms with two voice coils. The amp also has + + - - option. So, should I wire each voice coil separately and voice both sets of + - or wire the vc's together and just use one? Thanks for any advice, I have no idea lol.

I can't find an amp to match my TT2250D, so I am looking for a VX2200 to match my VX3002. Anybody got the hook up? Oh yeah, if you want my TT2250D I am selling it for $325 shipped.

the plan is to get the 15 l7 walled off and deaden the cab with a roll of raamat. im planning on keeping his factor stereo because he has the digital climate controlls build in. its the mach audio system so there is a factory amp. ive been told its puts outs 20x4. id like to add the mtx req if anyone thinks it would help. and as far the speakers go idk what id like to do here. budget is about 150-175. or $250 budget if u throw out the mtx req and go a different way with that. any advice?

So I sold my system and vehicle about 2.5 years ago for a Infiniti G37S Sedan with the factory Bose system. It's been holding well, but I got the urge for some bass recently. I know what i want to do, just not sure on equipment. Amp will be integrated with stock system using Bose amp inputs in the trunk. The factory IB 10" will be removed from the rear deck. I will build a box for the trunk, ~1.25-1.5cubes @33Hz. Electrical will stay factory, 4Ga wire. I am not trying to spend too much here, maybe $225-$275 for a decent 10" and amp. I have looked at some cheaper stuff such as RE SE-X for like $119 and a cheap planet audio amp that should be good for ~600rms for $100. S…

i recently bought an 04 mustang gt.. didnt realize that the trunk is really limited on space. has room for a decent size box but getting it in would be trouble because the opening isnt very big either.. i have an audioque 2200 and a dual 2 ohm solo x 10.. anyone who has done a build in a mustang 99-04 please help me out.. im tryin to design a box that will fit but still be large enough for the X... or would it be best to sell it and get some sa-8s or something similar

It was a nice day, and the shop is closed on sunday so I decided to break out the old TL and do some testing. At the moment, the ports I am using are for testing purposes, just form tube, no fibreglass enforcement or even flares for that matter, so I know there is still more I can squeeze out of this. All testing was done with Two 15" Icons on a Crescendo 3500d (At 2 ohms keep in mind). Pretty basic electrical with only a single kinetik 1400 as a second battery. First Test : 6.cuft / 8" formtube tuned to ~27hz 30hz - 137.94db 35hz - 139.19db 40hz - 141.53db 44hz - 143.20db 46hz - 143.52db Second Test : 6cuft / 8" formtube tuned to ~ 33hz 30hz - 138.23db 35hz - 14…

My friend recently purchased a ford econoline 350, 1993 mind you, and needs some help with it. Before I actually ask the questions, has anyone had any experience with this type of vehicle?

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?

I cant find a in depth faq on every componet in a sub works. Do you have any? Or can answer it all:) ty

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 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
