General Audio

Is there software or hardware i can get to measure my system thats free or not to pricey

Hi, I was wondering, as the alternator put out there max output on around 1500rpm or something like that, on my car, that has an electronic idle control system, Is there some part or something to raise and keep an certain idle speed by the press of a button or something similar? Thank you.

Hi I am working on a school project showing the most extreme end of car audio. Meaning not your basic radio and door speakers. I will be covering everything from the difference in products and competitions. The time limit is 8 minutes to present so I will not be going into fiber glassing or anything like that. What I need is some file videos of some competitions and loud cars in action. If you know of any legit place I can download videos from to edit for my project, I would love some help and be very thankful! Youtube would be perfect, but i dont know about downloading from there. I was thinking of using something like hypercam but I could never record the soun…

ill have pics and everything up later today!!

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.

Anyone know of a good site with the crossover math? -or- Design software? Though I'd prefer the calc's -Nick

can anyone help with a box design for my car im gonna be running a t100bd and a Fi Bl loaded and at 1ohm ideas or advice would help alot thanks

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 …

didnt know where to put this but... looking for an alarm system and i landed on the viper 7900 and viper 5901. which would you suggest and why?? thanks

Has anyone done a sub install or any other audio upgrades in a 2009 or newer acura TL? If so can you post details or piccs?

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?

Just bought some american bass 10" xr (2 of them) Will run it off of a audiopipe apsm 2000 Planning on putting them in trunk It's a Chrysler Sebring coupe Trunk space about 36width height about 16 Depth about 24 Would appreciate it Thanks!

Alright, so I'm trying to plan out my car system and ive ordered my subs/amps. The subs are 1x 18" FI BTL and 2x 12" FI BTL's. I have a 4 door dodge stratus and I was planning on removing the back seats where I would put the 18" in a 7'-8' cu ported box. The two 12"s would go in the trunk area in a single ported box (can do two seperate boxes if that would be better). The trunk/cab would be connected due to the removal of the back seat. My question is, would this be a very stupid thing to do? Im VERY new at these things and I apologize if it's a rediculous idea. Also, if it isn't a good idea, what would be? And last, what would be good places to have the ports/woof…

So I'm going to be redoing my system in a few weeks or months and everything is practically RE audio and Us amps I already have the subs but im still looking for the amp and the speakers and there amp just about it. For the amp its between the SAE 1200 and the Us amps Md1d. For some speakers i dont really know but i ve been craving these in my doors and some tweeters so they can match the subs. But dont really no about the tweeters or the crossover because i dont think ill be running active i'm willing to spend 150 on the speakers as i can get hooked up from some RE dealers and pretty much everything.

well i went to connect the positive run of wire and as i started disconnecting the battery the alarm kept going off i went ahead and finished disconecting the battery then connected the positive run of wire then as i was reconecting it the battery the alarm started going off again then i tightened it all the way then waited for the alarm to go off then i tried to start the car and only the battery will go on it wont click or anything when i take the key out the alarm beeps what do i do?

This is my box, 38 long 20 wide 21 tall Does it need bracing?

I'd like just that as well as a 60 to 0 sweep Feel free to post links!

I think I am giving up on the idea of going active until I become a bit more knowledgeable about the sound I would like and mounting locations that best suit me. So anyway, I am going to purchase a new component set instead. I have a 2004 Tahoe, listen to mostly rock, hip hop, and trance. This is a daily driver and I am going to drop my focus from purely SQ. Instead, I would like to just go loud but at the same time I like quality in my music, low distortion, as well as good imaging and staging. I tend to have others riding with me and since I no longer am going for SQ I was wondering if a rear stage would be acceptable now or if that would still take away from the to…

What do channels on amps do?

I got a new 2012 ford escape and I want to put my sa12s in it. Factory premium door speakers sound great, I just need my subs for the bass. How should I go about getting the turn on and input wired up? It's a new car so I'm afraid to do anything...

So i blew my morel supremo's.. 440$. Nice. Anyway what other tweeters are out there that sound great but are cheaper. I was on madisound and was looking at other morel drivers. The tweeters are so much cheaper then what i paid for these supremo's. I still want to get them but they are expensive and now i am questioning if they are worth it. Any tweeter recommendations would be appreciated. I am running a pioneer 9800 headunit off a sundown 100.4 amp. My mids are SEA excel's.

ok.....Im lost completely on this one......I rewired my whole system, all the speakers to the 4 channel, rewired the rcas, the remote, regrounded everything, the whole nine yards.....The alternator whine was almost none existant till i tuned the amps. Started with a louder alternator whine, then i heard my speakers popping as i changed tracks, so i figured id try to reground my head unit. After i get that ready to reground i turn the car on, i could be about an inch from metal and everything popped, with no spark. As soon as i touch metal, everything pops again. This is where i become lost. I take the ground off, and i hear a rumbling, i open the trunk and my subs ar…

Hello. New member, my first post. Looking to replace my current system with something better. I currently have 2 x 12 L7s, 1 x kx1600.1 and l2ci. The car is bmw m4, 2018. I've been looking at getting 2 x 12" icons. Need suggestions on the type of box and amp that would work best. I'm looking for sound quality but also loudness. I don't have much trunk space. Right now, i'm using a sealed box up to kicker specifications with polyfill. Current system is loud and works well but lacks quality. I would prefer a sealed box. Kicker subs only play low tones and need something that plays slightly higher (100hz-250hz or so). The stock system sounds really …

Got my amp and sub hooked up, started bumping some music then it cut off. I went back to check out what was going and and saw that a razor blade had fallen across the speaker terminals on the amp. Now the amp wont power up.

Hello friends charles here and I need to talk to some one on the phone about my dimension of my box to be sure that I have the right measurements for my box before I start making it. H 22.5 x L 46 x D 28 now I want the two tc sound lms 18' subs that I have to be facing up with the ports in this box. My port is 4 x 21 this gives me 84. I want the box to be tuned to 35 hz. Is this right and how long should this be from the bottom of the box to work? Is it possible or do I do have to have the subs facing towards the back door. I have a 03 yukon. I am in Kuwait and I am willing to call who ever I can so please leave your will leave number or pm me so that I can get the box b…
