General Audio

i ordered some zcon recones and baskets beginning of may. just trying to get an idea when they would come

Quick shirt trick, then a video showing some stuff blow around. I finished deadening my doors and had a ton of little pieces of paper in my car from the deadener so I figured Id turn it up and make a video. Yes I know its dark. Oh well. The second song sucks, It was just some song on the radio. The first video would be better but I was trying to hold the deck, control the volume, and shoot a video. So I decided Id just turn on the radio and shoot a video with whatever song was on.

I made the box so that the driver will down fire,all box info are from the Adire site & built to their specs

seen this http://www.shockeraudio.net/products.html on PWK forums and had to share! Hopefully their as good as the OG sigs.

Ok, here's the story. I shop (window shop mostly) online 99% of the time on sites like Sonic, Audiosavings, and Ebay, so I found it refreshing to go visit a couple of real audio stores in my area so that I could actually see amps in person, listen to speakers, and tie some hyperflex in a knot. While I did have fun in the listening room and lookin over products the guys that worked at both places SUCKED. (Jack's Stereo and Schroeder's Audio in Waco, TX) First of all, I went to Schroeder's to look at some HAT Imagines as they were on the dealer list. The guy said he only had Clarus's in stock and that I could see them so I went ahead and did. So as we leave the listening r…

i have a 1000 bucks to spend on audio for a bus. i know its not alot but i would really like to stay on budget, its a party bus so it must be loud, and full sounding, i know that in a buss its gonan have a huge echo effect but i can work on that part later.. i will be meeting with my partner later to iron out more details but for now a rough idea would be helpfull to give him and my self an idea of what were looking at.... here are a few pics.. it looks a little more.. full now... it has seats along the walls... ill post new pics later on with the seats in.

I bought all of Johnathan Prices' old component sets for a real good price, a few of the crossovers were….. well shitty and unusable. But I am MORE than ok with that. My question is, could I run 2 mids & 2 tweets off one crossover? I wired up a 2 mids & 2 tweets to a crossover to check the ohm load at the “input” space and it was at 3.44ohm. If not then I’ll just run the tweets off radio and mids off 100.4 till I find a cheap 50.4.

dude is asking 190 that include the box. the amp i have right now is a alpine m850 750rms@2ohm,500rms@4ohm. think it can push the sub? or should i just buy a 10 or 12 RL-i sub?

Ok guys I have a question, currently I'm working on my car I'm about to install my new Audio system which consist of 4x RE SX 12" d4 in a 6.8- 7.2 ft^3 enclosure tuned at 34hz powered by 2x US Amps MD-3D and for vocals I have 4x Sets of the RE 6.5 Comps thus a total of 8x RE 6.5 Speakers powered by 2x MD-21 and 4x subs. Now I was wondering since I'm modifying i could put 2x more sets(4x more RE 6.5 speakers) and 1x more MD-21, thus a total of 12x RE 6.5 Speakers for the 4x RE SX12", my car is more for Demo purpose and Carshow thus I want it to be loud Inside and also loud outside it's not a every day drive car, so should 12x RE 6.5 be good or to much for the RE Sx's, or …

I know the big 3 can't hurt, but I'm on a super tight budget. I have a nissan maxima which apparently has a 100amp alternator. My set up includes a D-class mono amp that is rated at 340rms at 4ohms. I'll also be running a set of front components off an A/B two channel that does 100rms per channel at 4ohms. So playing it safe and rounding up, thats about 600rms total. Is it worth it to do the big 3? I was considering doing it in 4g, or just waiting to do it when I get more money down the road after a few month. I just dont want any heavy voltage drop or headlight dimming. What do you think? Thanks!

right now i have two 12" eclipse sw7200 subs, i had a rockford p600.2 pushing them and i kno thats nowhere near the output they handle but i got them both in a deal... i sold the amp and i am wondering if i should sell the subs as well to get something different... ive been looking into the ssa icons and the fi q's... im not looking for ridiculous bass... however i want something that can get respectably loud and have excellent sq, something that can hit the lows and sound good doing it.. i was looking at these two brands because from what i hear on this forum they work well on both ends of the spectrum (so to say) they are gonna be powered by a aq1200 amp and also its go…

I have been wondering to myself if i should tearout my current system and start over with something else... I have my 2 Fi Bl 18's 2008models and have been thinking of going back to 12's.. I have 6 alpine type r 12 just sitting around doing nothing...I would like to buy 4 sundown sa-12's.. I'm not sure how they compare to the type r's, i have not used any sundown products before.. I have wanted to maybe due a blowthrough or a clamshell design, but I can't seem to find a canopy for my truck.. All suggestions welcome..Thanx guys Jay

Looking for someone close to Charlotte NC that has a term lab meter that will be willing to meter my ride.

Hey I'm in the planning stages of a build for my cousin. She knows absolutely nothing about car audio but I'm slowly changing that. I have a request for you guys though... Show me some Fi X's, DCON's, 187's, anything. I need some good pictures of stuff around that price/power range. I know all of those have stock photos but I wanna see some upside down and in boxes and all that. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I finally got my system installed and want to take a vid of it to post on here. My question is what kind of cameras work well for good sound reproduction? video cam? or point and shoot with a vid option? I see alot of vids shot by cell phones and in my opinion are a bit annoying and doesn't do anyone any good. So without putting a mortgage on my home to afford a good video camera, I was just curious as to what others around here are using. Thanks!

Is there any way to find out online the results of an IASCA metering that was done last week at the spring fling carshow? I competed on Sat, but have to leave (**** work), and I never found out where I placed. As of Sat. I was in 1st with a 143.5 in SPL single 15". I looked on the site, but I couldn't find anything other than last years final results. I could be looking in the wrong place though since i'm not to familiar with the site. Thx guys, Vic.

Has anyone messed with the SHURiKEN SK-BT120 batteries? it says it 120 AH and 2600 cranking amps an AGM for 270.00 to good to be true? i know Sonic Electronix is good, seeing how i've dealed with them before. but the battery is what im worried about.

Iam running 4 sundown 15" dual 2ohms on a sundown 2500 at 3/4 my amp goes into protect not sure what I am doing wrong. I have a 300 amp alt 3 2100 kinteck batteries sundown 100x4 rainbow higs & mids . I i have checked my wiring think thes woffers would be 1 ohm what am i missing voltage at amp 13.4 at time of shut down. I just replaced a sundown 1500 on to 18,s what am I doing wrong, thanks.

I know a few of you are anti-RF, but I love the old stuff and always will. Below is a killer SQ RF set up I would love to have in my explorer. Found it on the RF forum. equipment list: 2x Rockford 0.5farad Capacitors 1x Rockford 160.2 (With 100z2 internals) 1x Rockford Punch 100z2 (With 160.2 internals) 1x Rockford Punch 600a4 1x Rockford Punch 800a2 1x Rockford Punch Power 50m 1x Rockford Symmetry EPX 5x Rockford Audiophile Tweeters (2 Pictured) 2x Rockford Punch 3" Midrange (SP-34) 2x Rockford Audiophile 4" Midrange (RFA-44) 4x Rockford Audiophile 5" Midrange (RFA-54) 2x Rockford Audiophile 6" Midrange (RFA-64) 2x Rockford Audiophile 10" Subwoofers (RFA-810)

Ok heres the beef n chedda In a trunk orientated system how does a (side ported) enclosure perform v/s (sub back port back) or (sub forward port forward) or (sub back port up) for SPL or SQ applications. Example: Kicker DCVR122 v/s DIY DCVR12 enclosure in various port sub positions already mentioned.

I've been trying to figure this out and figured I would put it out there for the gurus. Is there any real difference between speaker level and line level signals other than the voltage and the ability to drive a speaker level load (2-4 ohms vs 100ish or whatever for an amp). I guess what I'm really asking is this: Say we have a headunit that puts out 25 watts at 4 ohms. which by my calculation would be 10 volts. Now lets take that and plug it into an amp that can handle 10 volts (or split into two amps for 5 each). Is this fine to do or would it not work well?

Ok, well i just finished installing my btl and i decided to just drill holes in the box to run wires through to my amp and i used silicone to fill in the holes, so my question is how long should i let it set up before i decide to turn it up safely to tune it with out blowing a hole through the silicone? btw for what it matters i live in middle ga. so its really humid all the time plus its been raining last two days, ive heard that will play a factor in its cure time?

I am going to be making my rear seat fold down on my silverado. I got the idea off this link Has anyone done this yet?? How are you finishing off the back wall??

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

If my crossover has a low pass filter that ranges from 40-400 hz, does that mean whatever I set it too is the highest frequency it will play? Also, does that mean that 40 hz is the lowest it will play?
