General Audio

Just a ? I had on my mine at work....not like I'm going to do it but in the future I might...."how would you run multiple amps for subs like 6 subs , 6 amps." With out using y split...would you just keep linking the amps or is the something that you can buy and send a signal to that and the other side will send out multiple signals on the other side....I think I just answer my own question....newbie remember that

Iv decided to do a Documentary on Local Car audio here in Louisiana some good some bad some just Pathetic well start with a friend of mine ( Henery ) which is a Wicked Loud install by my other friend ( Alan Hall ) this is the Blo Me Edition Scion

I'm leaving today to help a friend with his install. We're going to be soldering a bunch of 1/0 knu cca to the ring terminals. I noticed im out of the solder I used to have and I completely forgot what I had. Real simple. What kind of solder will be best for what I'm doing?

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 i think i want to buy either an RE RE 10 or 12 inch sub, or maybe an adire shiva or a soundsplinter. i want it in my room, i have 2 stereo recievers, but theyre those old ones, and i was wondering if they sell and where i can get a home audio amp without it being built in with the stero reciever. i want like 200-300 w rms. thanks.

ok so i have 2 treo te 15's in a ported box it hits real hard on high bass notes sounds ok on mid notes but sounds like garbage on low notes wut should i do? smaller port? smaller sealed box? i sealed this box one day it hit great on lows but not worth a shit on mid notes or high notes btw my music of choice is rap/hiphop and occasionally some heavy metal

I have no idea how loud my system is but I'm wondering at how many db's do your ears start to feel discomfort? It only happens when I have it going full tilt but my eardrums start to tickle and they hurt a little bit on the lower frequencies (30-35hz) I almost never feel it but anytime I have a friend riding with me they complain about their ears nonstop but I almost never feel it? I'm guessing when I get the saz-3500 and whatever sub its going to be very hard to sit in my car?

Custom RCA's, couldn't be happier, thanks man! Preamp anyone? One of the things I picked up at the PE tent sale... HiVi 2"er (Tough lil bugga)

i have 2 bl15's and a saz 3000d my box is somthing like 6 foot after displacement....... i really wanna go 2 15 btls and add another 3000d and i have 4 5x7 alpine type r comps and a sax 100.4.... i would like more output, goals... well... im bored... i want more..... im open to talk about diffrent subs and diffrent ideas. rap, hard hitting low ground raping rap...... and some rock here and there,.

I'm really at a point where I honestly have no idea what i want to get. I am already storin up my first years insurance money, and once i get a solid job, the money for the car itself. I know for a fact i am gettin a '00 ford explorer 4dr, there is a man selling several (like 8!) so i'll grab the black one when the money is right. I have said a whole lotta stuff in the past, just from eyeballin other people setups. I think i'd do better off to ask people who actually have expereince, more than booksmarts, what they would do in a given situation. Goal is alotta SPL on music. SQ doesnt hurt, but loud is the priority. The possibilites i have come up with: Four icon 15's on t…

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??

Ive heard the exacts but never the SPL components. They are older 2 ohm components. Anyone here ever hear a set? I'm thinking of picking some up.

My 15" ssd and my box weigh a ton and its bringing my rear end down a lot.. I am thinking of downgrading to a lighter setup.. like a cvr 12 for example in a 1.5cuft sealed box, but I am keeping the kicker 750 ill just keep the gain down. Would it be terrible? I'm not a bass addict I just need some kind of low end so I don't go crazy.

A 2005 Nissan Sentra...I'm looking to do mid 140s with duel 12s or single 15. Spending limit is around 2500

I have always wondered about some of the lingo used on these forums when it comes in competitions... Anyway what is a Bass Race vs a dB drag? Or a SQ event? How are they measured? I am sure I missed a few different race names but what are they? How are they all different? How are they measured?

so upcoming in march, i have a build scheduled. my brother will be helping me with the carpentry aspects, i am doing rest of install from what i gathered in the other thread before it was closed, is that my buddy should go with a BL 18 for his 66' impala. already planning on double mids and highs, mids are most likely gonna be mach5 mli's, and tweets are undecided. who is running a BL18? what specs are the box, tuning, volume, etc. any help would be appreciated. i would like to keep this topic on a positive note, no dissing or putting down, i am sure denim is tired of closing threads.

I want to build a box for 2 12 inch pioneer ts 3002d4 subs. Any ideas to where i can find either a blueprint or measurements for a box?

Iv seen multiple bad things said about them.. and a few good things. But have said that, i found a used 200a Iraggi alt on here for sale at a very good price and I was just wondering if anyone has some information I could use or something. I was thinking that aslong as I get it bench tested and its doing fine, I personally see no reason why I shouldnt get it, this is mostly based on the fact I wasnt even thinking about getting one this soon because of the usual price tag. -Mike

Ok, I don't know anything about home audio to start out with, so keep that in mind with your responses please. Ok I have 2 RE, RE 12's (DVC 4ohm) and a pair of CDT EF-61 6.5" components (05 model) I would like to make a dorm room setup, yes to make matters worse, the signal is coming out of a COMPUTER. I have a M audio 5.1 sound card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829121122) This is the card if you are wondering. Ok, I am wondering what type of enclosure to put (I am thinking only one of the RE's) in. I can build anthing out of wood that I need to, just don't have much experience about the finer aspects of box building, but a wood shop is noth…

Anyone know where I can find some .25" FEMALE quick disconnect speaker wire terminals that will accept 8 guage wire? I've searched to no avail, but I HAVE purchased some before. I cannot find them anywhere.

First off I have been wanting to try out new subs so a couple months ago I started a thread asking which subs you guys would recommend for my application and two 12" Icons seemed to be the most strongly suggested. Right now I'm running a RD Alpha 12" (2000 rms) sub on a Cadence ZRS-8 amp (1500rms @ 1 ohm) in a 2011 Mazda 3 sedan in a box tuned @ 33hz. The sub does get decently loud on bass heavy songs but if it's heavy metal or pretty fast beats, it doesn't hit as hard, but still has a little bump to it. My question is, if I order two 12" Icons, and if I put one of the subs in my current box while I work on building the box to hold 2 subs, will I get the same output or is…

Well guys im on a super tight budget for my next build so im looking for someone in the Charlotte/Mooresville, NC area that will allow me to use there tools to cut the wood for my next box. Im in an apartment complex and i have no means of getting it done and pretty much all local shops want from 500-1000 to build an 9 cube box and to me that's ridicules. My last box cost me 35 for the sheet of wood and my time to build. If anyone out there wood be willing to let me use there stuff or cut the wood for me for a small fee id much appreciate it. Thanks, Alan

Hello, I'm a car installer at a local shop. Me and a couple guys recently put front speakers and rear speakers into a 09 honda civic. The problem we are having is that the rear speakers are very very faint in volume. The rear speakers are hitting very hard with bass, it's just that the sound is very low. Also, when we turn the volume from the factory radio down to 4 the clean sweet unit unit just shuts off. We have the clean sweet unit hooked up through the factory amp. We installed component speakers in the front and rear. Any ideas?
