I plan on gettin either a Stetsom 11K2D or a Stetsom 14K2D. I was going to buy about four or five kinetik 2400's but I seen this battery. Is this ONE battery "Strong Enough" to power a Stetsom 11K2D or 14K2D all day everyday? Battery http://www.batcap.net/Products/BatCapProdu...91/Default.aspx

Ok, well i am getting my inventory of CDT products on Sept.8th and am looking for a car or two to possibly sponsor/rep. The car(s) would be shown on the webpage of the install and the car itself. Don't need anything too flashy but something more than just stock locations and a MDF(no carpet) box. This isn't a free ride on speakers but i bet you won't complain either on how much you pay. Also for whoever gets picked,if any, will also recieve rep points for those people who are referred to our site. Email me at: [email protected] Please title to email "Rep" or "Sponsor" o yeah, since i don't run a shop installation is up to you but you'll have access to a full li…

just a quick question... how much did the Eclipse Commander (9002) go for and how much should you pay for a used unit? What about if it comes with the GPS unit (9902)? thanks peeps John

My drive to work everyday is a little over an hr, and i listen to this album every morning I could listen to this everyday and die a happy man lol Which one is your current favorite CD?

I am stumped on this and it may just be something simple. Alright I am running an MS8 to (2) kicker IX 500.4s. Each amp is bridged for the front stage (one amp for horns, the other for mids). For some reason only the right side gets signal. I can mess around and get both sides to play by mixing the RCAs around. I am using RCA splitters on each channel from the MS8 to go into all the RCA inputs on the amplifiers. I'm lost

hi, I'm using the online port calculator at RE Audio to calculate the port dimensions. However, if i want to use two subs in a shared air space, how do i calculate the port dimensions for a shared port on the two subs? or it does not matter since the port dimensions will depend on the box volume only.

Can someone please explain to me what would cause a crossover to "blow up", I had the music on 55/62 and was pretty screaming from the tweeters, and then all of a sudden a huge "pop" from the crossover, smoking, doesnt seem like it was the first time, when I first got my other side installed I noticed this fuzzy stuff all over it, but thouhgt nothing of it, same shit was over the crossover when it blew, im ssending them in for warrenty, but I want to know if its my fault at all, or the brand, CDT.

Ok guys, I've had a amp now for a few weeks pushing an 18" AA Chaos Sub. The Amp says its 4000 watts but I'm pretty sure it's only pushing about 1000 watts at 2OHMS. It's a no name amp i got from a friend brand new for free, so I figure why not. I've been slamming it hard, but all of a sudden it shut off on me. The name and model Audio Tek AT-4000 The Fuses are all still good, but for the hell of it I put 3x 40amp fuses in that were brand new. No sound still. I unplugged and reconnected all the cables, no sound still. I did a simple shut the car off and on , no sound. I check my Power Fuse Going to the battery, it's good , still no sound. There is a light on the actua…

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'm really uncomfortable with this question as I dont want to feel needy. But I think a while back I seen someone say that had another member build them a box. Not sure though. But if that person did build a box I was wanting to know how much they would charge for box I need and what would be the Pickup/Shipping terms. Thanks In Advance ~MadroX *Edit* Im pretty sure I posted this in the wrong Area...... My Bad

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.

The enclosure designers under tech are to difficult for me to build only becuase of the 45 degree angles i dont no how to cut. I already spent a little over a grand on a AQ2200d, and two bl 12's. And i dont want to spend anymore money. Can anyone on here design me a box?

I have a 2014 Honda accord sedan that is in dire need of a serious audio upgrade. The issue i'm having is I can't seem to figure out how to upgrade the electrical to support the 3-4.5k watts I plan on running. The Alt only puts out 110A but the shops in my local area say its a "ballsy move" to upgrade it because the engine is only a 4 cylinder 2.0. Would getting a VCM and a step down module be my next option to support the amount of watts I plan on running? any advice helps! TY

For those of you familiar with bass box pro and/or winisd, help me out here. The box is 2 cuft tuned to 30hz (12" rlp), 4" precision port When I do this calculation (Lv=((8466.4*r^2)/(Vb*Fb^2))-(1.463*r) I get a number like 15.89". Winisd gives 16.28" with end correction being .614 (is that right for 2 flared ends?) And Bass box Pro gives a length of 17.35". Which of these is correct? Or is there some other part if it I am missing? It seems as though they should all be the same length if my numbers are identical, but they obviously are not. Also, a precision port ordered from PE is 17" in length with adding the flares and not cutting anything, correct? Thanks

Hey, well about two months ago, I put it my sub amp (hifonics 1606d) in with a temporary sub from my home theater set up. Immediately I noticed there was a really loud hissing, even when the RCA's were disconnected. I figured it was a ground, so I tried another spot, with the same results. I left it alone untill I install my speakers and amp, which is now. I finished installing my comps, wired everything up and it was all fine. But i noticed a really faint high pitched noise when the engine is on or off. I have a switched wired to the remote wire of the sub amp. When i turn that on, it turns into a real loud whine, although i cant tell if it changes with engine speed, I'm…

Well I am slowly trying to improve the sound in my 2001 bmw 325i and I think I know the answer but I'm not completely sure. Currently I only have one amp which is powering my subs and then there is the factory amp thats connected to all the factory locations. Since my battery is in the trunk I have a big fuse holder about 1ft away from the battery then it runs to the amp. Today I should be getting some of those PG rds components and when I finally by some sound deadening I will be installing a 4ch amp to run those speakers. In the past I used a fused distribution block as well as the single fuse holder by the battery, but this was in a camry. I was wondering if I wo…

Well originally I had a monster cassette adapter, worked well for 5 years, but as time went on, I got unlucky and one of my coworkers sliced the cord. So it still played, but only on the left speakers, it bugs me for a week before I decide to go to best buy and pick a new one up. Dynex or Rocket Fish? Both sound like crappy brands, lets get both! So I hook both of them up, they work, but are very quiet for some reason. I could listen to music at a normal level with them, but it required my H/U to be all the way turned up along with the ipod. So they both go back, and I go to a specialty store today, maybe 4 months after suffering with the monster one. It finally kicked th…

I just put a new CM MOJO "catridge" on a motor and im getting some coil rub. I did a second one and it turned out great but i remounted the catridge a few times on the first one and it keeps rubbing on the same side inside the coil. I think its slanted not off center. I mounted some old cartridges i had on the same motor and didnt get any rub so im pretty sure its the new cartridge. Any advice on a fix?

Hey! I just saw this video about Big Ear custom earphones and I want to know if any of you here tried their products. I'd love to get myself a pair but I want to know if their great first. Just wanna avoid getting pulled up. LOL! Any other recommendation? Thanks!

Released a lil magic smoke out of my sdc2.5, was playing test tones and went to feed the dogs. Let her cool down a lil and she still pays normal so im happy. Guess this lil 600 watt sub cant take 1400 watts for more than 30 mins.

a buddy of mine is doing a wall in a dakota with four of either 12s and each sub will be seing around 2 cubes without port and tuned to 30 hz with 350 watts rms to eahc sub. he listens to rap most of the time. also he's looking to be hitting some higher scores. jw which would perform better in this application. thanks

Yes, I know it's been discussed here and there on other forums. But not here, and never indepth (at least not yet). Because I'm very noobish to the home audio realm, I'm going to ask away I have two home projects / goals. A.) 2 or 3 way monitors for my office. I have a classic Audiologic reciever. I don't really plan on picking up an amplifier down here. This is mostly used for music & has an input from the PC sound card. Mainly background music, workout music, and occasional party music. So fidelity & output are not priorities (doesn't need to win an award, just has to sound good), neither is output. Cheapness & accuracy count. Thinking 6.5 midwoofers LP ~25…

does anybody have an kinetik 1800-2400 they want to sell. and has anyone seen an ho 200 amp alternator for a volvo 960??
