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.

Thanks to SSA I found the SPL league i love and compete in every weekend (NESPL), also for lots technical info and advice I found here helping in my quest to be loud. Hit my 1st 150 (150.4 to be exact) in my rookie season and gained 12 db. This is a premier car audio site and has helped exspand my knowledge base by alot. Just wanted to thank the owners and technical team here as well as fellow forum members. I am a better competetor because I am a member of SSA. -Bill

I use Stefan's port area calc to figure out the needed port area for a design. It's not working for some reason. I was wondering if the website moved or if there's anything else similar to it. Also if you see this Stefan, what's going on? lol I like your website. Here's the link...bitpusher.in/

Of course i know the sound differences in a ported or sealed box, my question is a bit more detailed than that. I'm about to buy a Fi Q 12 and was stuck btwn building a tuned vented/ported box, or sealed. I listen to rock-metal-hardcore-etc. and rap. I know a ported will be perfect for rap but will it hit all the notes nicely for rock songs with quick bass? I've heard that a properly tuned box will hit fine but will it be as accurate as a nice sized sealed box? Thanks alot, much appreciated

Just sold my Dual 2ohm BTL N2 to my buddy. It was working for a few songs then randomly cut off for a few seconds and then would turn back on for a bit, and this would happen over and over. Didnt really have enough time to diagnose anything last night but I was going to try to find out what was happening today. He has a Kicker ZX1000.1so I wired the sub in series. Weirdest thing is that he said it wasnt happening with his other subs. I was going to check the regular stuff like voltage at the amp and make sure I actually did wire the sub properly but Im not sure why it would be doing this in the first place. He told me the amp stays on so Im lost.

So I was wondering what is the best way to secure an enclosure in a car ? Preferably not permanent, but so it can't be stolen or so it won't slide around. It's a 9cuft box, and its going in the back of my Jeep Cherokee.

HI fellas, I recently bought a 1999 Buick Park Avenue and am in need of your expertise. So far I have a Kenwood KVT-911 DVD, 2 12" JLW7's, Audiobahn 2300HCT { I know you guys hate Audiobahn, but I got it the year it came out brand new in box for $100 and 2 very old pioneer IMPP's} that has never even been used, I plan to run it at 1ohm. I am now looking for a nice used 4 channel amp for around $100 on craigslist, I want 65-75rms per channel. I need suggestions on a good pair of 6x9 and 4x6 to run off the 4 channel, I would not like to spend more than $125-150 for both sets. 2nd question is the car has another set of 4x6's upfront also, could I run an identical set of 4x6 …

How do you use hz and know how to use tuning? How do you know what will be the loudest frequency or which one creates the loudest bass? quen

i drive an explorer, and im only gonna have 1 sub in a 2 cubic box. what are your guy's tips for keepin it in the middle right behind the back seat? thanks for any help you guys can give me. edit: DO NOT wanna drill into the floor.

What would you guys do to get more bass to hit inside your vehicle (cars only). I thought about drilling a hole between my 6x9's and have the port shooting between them.

My friend is now a dealer for CDT Audio. He is placing an order in for products and wondering what everyone likes or is looking for to get an idea of what to buy. any suggestions?

(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.

Can someone help? Like a how to with doors. Do you spray the inside of the door and cover the holes with that rubber matt type stuff? Do you use it on your fire-wall as well as all over? What about that foam stuff to fill up holes? Is it a good idea? OR spray cans of deading spray? I would love a good writeup from someone that can help and mabe everyone can add some things and we make it a sticky? Thanks guys!

sorry for the lack of wisdom, but could somebody tell me what port noise sounds like? Because I just put my system in my car and unless i have the volume turned down to zero, my sub is constantly playing kinda loudly. Could this be how the amp settings are set?

My Current system is this: Headunit: Clarion DXZ785USB Amp: Old School LA 1000D Subs: 2x Alpine Type R 12" Components: All stock, but they keep up. Tweets in the a frame, and 5 1/4" in the front with two 5 1/4" in the back. Forgot to add i have a 200amp alt. to power this. ANd all the 1/0 guage wire to run a big three. All of this is in a restored 1993 Range Rover Classic LWB The Box Design: Credits to Fallen at Roe. He designed this 6th order bandpass.

do subwoofers still sound good in convertibles this is my first build thanks!

I'm up on the air on if I should buy the Focal PS165 components or a 270A alternator. I don't need the alternator at the moment since I'm not hooking up my second amp up until I ordery second 15.

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.

Hi guys. I have a DC Audio XL 12 on the way and would like suggestions on the enclosure. Its only gonna get 500 watts. I'm thinking a t-line will help me get pretty loud with the limited power. Max dimensions are 38w 32h 32d. It will be in my blazer cargo area. Thanks in advance and if you need any other info just ask.
