i have an s10 and it has bags with 2 viar 380 comps and im getting a fosgate 1500x1 and wondering if i should get a 200 amp or a 160 amp alt for the truck. i belive the fosgate is like 140 and the comps pull like 30 amps. ive done the big 3 with 1/0 and got a yellow top this is the last thing to order.

This is PG's low pass level controller. Does anybody know if it matters what side of the car I run this down? Should it be kept separate from the power wire like the RCA's or does it not matter? Should I even use it? Does it come in handy or not? Just curious because I need to get this in there soon if I'm gonna use it. Thanks, Jim

Hi, i'm new to this forum and a devoted powerbass patron. But the problem is that i can only get powerbass from my dealer not powerbase. Why cant my dealer get Powerbase? How is it that they can get one but not the other. Thank you everyone.

Hello! colorisms blaring bangle

hey guys i have a question about a trickle charger. well i bout a 1.5amp charger so i could help maintain my batts being that i have a honda civic and running 2 batts with only a 90amp alt(waiting for EA to build mine) i had figured it would be a good investment to buy a trickle charger and use it a week or so to help maintain my batteries charge. right now it's a stock honda battery up front(3yrs old and abused to all hell) and my hc2400 in the trunk. well i have noticed a HUGE improvement on voltage being stabkle since the kinetik was put in. so being that honda have chit for charging systems and are built to be effecient in most ways i wanted to put a charger on the ba…

I am about to redo all my inside speakers, so I will be needing 2 sets of 6x9s, and 1 set of tweeters. Im looking for the best all around, SQ, midbass, all of that and they will be on an amp. im look to do this all for 500. What do you all recommend i get??

Watsup guys, I'm new to this forum and in need of some advice. I bought a 00 mustang gt with the crappy Mach 460 system, the previous owner replaced the stock head unit w/ a Kenwood DDX418, love the stereo but it sounds horrendous with the stock sound system, I have compiled the speakers so far: DB drive speed series 6.5 components for the front and Hypnotic Zen 6x7 components for the rear. I need help choosing an amp ( I know i need something that is 4x80) and I need help choosing a set of 10" subs ( I was thinking of 2 kicker cvs subs in a flush mounted box) and an amp to power them. I want good clean studio sound, and I don't want to spend an absurd amount of mon…

would anyone recommend running 2 hifonics brutus 1606d mono class amps to a 15" fi btl sub at 2ohms and connecting each voice coil separately if no. why not?

Alright got my SAZ3000 in today, all installed.. went to set gains and couldn't get any voltage out of the amp.. 39volts is what I got with gain all the way up.. aiming for 50 (3000watts). Lowpass was set fine, subsonic wasn't set too high, bass was on the HU. Pretty stumped right now. Also the subs are at 1 ohm.

Would someone mind helping me out analyze a song in audacity? I'm trying to determine what frequency the bass notes are at.

I am planning a new box build, and was thinking of using aeros. The problem is I have never used them. I think I can figure out most of it , but I need some help with how to figure out the port displacement. Any links or info would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Just wandering how many people have broken off their mirror due to flex issues

Thats right, USACI will make a stop in Hurst Texas on October 18,2008 at Yamaha of Texas motorcycle shop. This event will be a Double point SPL only event. It will also be the very last show to earn point for the mega show know as world finals. Good luck to all who attend. Event info: October 18, 2008 Saturday 12pm-5pm Yamaha of Texas 1505 W. Hurst Blvd. Hurst, Tx. 76054 Double point SPL only event.

I installed my big 3 about 2 months ago, and I was in a hurry to get it done. I want to help shield the wires from the heat and possibly change my battery terminal to a ring-style terminal. Will Techflex be enough? Or should I put on some wire loom as well? I'd like to be able to just put on some color matching techflex to my power, ground, and amp cables, but if the AZ heat is going to beat down on those wires this summer, I'll wrap some wire loom around them if need be. What do you guys think? EDIT: KnuKonceptz 0g wiring. According to their website, with the insulation, it's 16mm thick, just over half an inch. Should I go for the 1/2 techflex or the 3/4? Same questi…

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.

ok so the set up would be 3 12" BTL's (fully loaded) and 3 sundown 3000d's..I'm lookin for some basic dimensions for an enclose and some places online that can do a quality build.Also,any suggestions on port Fq. would be appreciated..It's gonna be a daily driver in a '96 impala trunk so i have room to play with.Thanks!

I am tryin to build a blow through for my truck. I was wondering that if i build a simple ported box and then cut the hole for the subs and port to come through do i add that in to port calculator ? I thiking seriously about nightshade 18s I was thinking 5 cubes per sub tuned to 35 htz.. Any advice on the best way to go about the blow through

OK this is what I have, 1-12" single 4ohm PG Xmax sub PWR 400 wavelength amp-600wrms @ 4ohms and clarion x-over pioneer deck box is 2.5cuft tuned to 30hz, with-in specs of what PG suggests. gains are set correct. This is what happens, I play a song like, Late night tip or some lil john, songs that I think hit pretty low, and SHIP does it get loud and low, but as soon as I put on anything that has hard bass, it doesn't get near as loud I mean nothing, nothing short of cranking it and adding bass boost will help, but this isn't what I want to have to do. This is in a 90 acura TRUNK not hatchback, sub facing back of trunk and the port is on the same side as the sub. my t…

I finally got to cutting out the speaker holes, this is just the skeleton...I will be making 3/4" MDF rings and sloping them out and much more. 4 Adire Audio Extremis 6.4 run off Kicker KX850.4 __ 50Hz-450Hz 2Adire Audio FR125S 4.5" full rangers of a KX350.4 __ 450Hz-3.5kHz 2 Vifa XT25TG30 1" Ring Radiator tweets off a KX200.2 __ 3.5kHz on up 2 Audio Control 6XS for 24dB with 2 bandpassed.... Will have 2 CSS SDX15's in 7cubes each @ 20Hz...walled off 2 Crossfire VR4000D's

i just need a decent one to run 1/0 welding supply cables to the back for second battery. just don't want to pay an arm and a leg for them. thanks Yang

Heading up to the Woodward dream cruize today anybody else gonna be their?

how much would you guys pay for a billet alluminum subwoofer grill to fit your sub no matter the size or shape it is.... i can have them made but there a little pricey, so im trying to get an idea on who would pay to have them... im going have a few made plus if someone wanted something else on the grill i can make it for a little more, so it would be one of a kind.... remember this is billet aluminum not no cheap plastic so the price of the aluminum and the cost of useing a C-N-C machine is not cheap, but if i have a few orders i can get the price down... jamie

ill have pics and everything up later today!!
