General Audio

i was giving an RE Audio Hc 18 and can not find any information on it i am really looking for the box spec and rms any help would be awsome

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.

I'm looking for a good Installer in the Philadelphia pa. area who wont kill me on the labor prices. I have all the components i just need someone to install them.

I hope that I am posting this in the right place. I have 2006 Honda Odyssey EX that has the 6 CD changer and XM capable stereo. I have heard that it may be possible to connect a device that will allow me to "hard wire" my iPod, using that XM connection. Can anyone tell me exactly what I would need to make this happen? I am not looking for anything fancy really, just to be able to use my iPod without using an FM transmitter. I don't know jack about car audio, but I have a friend who says he can help me install it once we find the exact right part. Can anyone help me? PK

Hey, I've got a fella that lives a few hours away that wants me to build a box for his 03 Ford ZX2, However I don't have anyway to measure out the trunk and to get him to understand and tell me the correct dimensions isn't gonna happen... (no common sense at all....) So does anyone have a ZX2 or happen to know the dimensions of the trunk I'm thinking 32x14x18 W x H x D rear firing a pair of 12's roughly 3 cubes 30 hz.... after dis

Alright, I have just ordered a 1500d amp and plan on buying a 18" FI BTL. Now, my question is, if I want to use the single 1500d with the sub and then eventually buy another and stack them both on it, what type of vc setup should i order the sub with? Is there any way to get maximum performance untill and after I get a second 1500d? Also, what type of wattage would I be getting from two 1500d's at the ohmage you suggest. Thanks very much!

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.

Has anyone owned or used the creative zen mp3 players? I am considering the X-Fi2 touchscreen model as an alternative to an iPod (i've had 6 iPods; all of em broke) Main concerns are sound quality, how loud it can get, and functionality. I will be pairing it with a pair of DD headphones. Thanks, --Chris

I'm looking for a online website to purchase a deck along with who knows what in the future. Tryin to get an alpine deck for a friend who's cargot broken into recently. I have dealt with sonicelectronix before. Prices weren't bad. Thing is there backordered on most of the good alpinedecks. If you guys have any sites that have good prices, good selection and good service let me know. Would really appreciate it

Does anyone know the weight of the saz4500 and the saz100.4?ive looked but cant locate this information.

Got a few questions about my setup before i order everything so help would be appreciated. In order to prevent further displacement I'm considering adding a baffle to the outside of the enclosure. - Will this be a sufficient amount of support for the sub vs a baffle on the interior? - When using Psp.com's calculator for aeroports it asks to input "Volume of Box in Cubic Feet" is this before or after all displacements? - Can someone provide a link for instructions or a diagram on how i am supposed to wire under hood batter>trunk battery>amps - How should i wire the (2)saz1500's to (2)FI BL Dual 1 looking to get the whole 1500w to each sub individually? - Suggest a b…

I installed 90% of my system with the two batts in the back and i have a few questions. 1. my subs are dual 1 ohm can i wire each to .5 ohm from each terminal on the enclosure to have a end result of 1 ohm at the amp? 2. when grounding the two batts in the back and i ground them to and metal part or the car. (i have to ground them to each side of the trunk) 3. can i ground both batts on the same plane? 4. i put the two main fuses in just to see of the amp will turn on...no luck. does everything has to be grounded and connected before the amp turn on? 5. i attached the remote wire to the blue wire with the white line that's coming from the harness..is that good enough? 6.…

I haven't posted on here in awhile, so figured I would give a quick review of my newly installed setup. Vehicle is a 2003 S-10 extended cab. Decided to switch to Kenwood with this install and running a DNX6980 receiver. Front stage consists of a Focal Access three way setup with the midbass in the stock door location and the mids and tweets in the dash. Running this off of a Boss Havoc that I purchased from the group buy on here two years ago. For now I am just running them off two channels, and using the other two channels to power my pair of 12" DCON's. This amp powers everything quite well, even the DCON's have a nice kick to them with the lower power they are currentl…

Just wondering, lookin at it for a cheap source of power for a friend. He wants "LOUD CHEAP and GOOD" Which is obviously next to impossible. But if his standards are that low, maybe Boss is for him! http://www.millionbuy.com/bosol5kd.html

Allright, I need a break from working on my kick panels so I thought I would get to thinking about my next project. And being completely different I thought this might be fun. I have until spring to help my frugal friend put a stereo in his boat (21' Chris Craft). He already has a HU and a older fosgate amp 50x4. I have a pair of JL 10w4-0 subs that I will let him use for a reasonable price. The boat is used exclusively on Lake Minnetonka, most of the time the boat is tied to a line of other boats in the 20-30' range. Having the stereo that can be heard well behind the boat and sideways accross other boats allows you to be the one to choose the music--a must if I am …

anyone know of any good websites to order essentials like connectors and wires and what not?

Has anyone had any experience with RD Audio equipment? Are they a quality company? I had Mike , who is tied in with the company, build me an enclosure for my BTL and it is ridiculously nice. If that is any indication of the quality of the company i might have to look into some of their stuff

Does anyone know if there are any stereo comp's coming up in NE PA? Does anyone live in or near NE PA have a meter? Been a long time since I had my truck metered, I and thinking of re-doing my entire system and would like to get a before and after. Thanks Chad

A buddy of mine is looking to upgrade his audio, and between him and I we are trying to get some ideas about what to buy. He has a new(ish) (2004-2006 probably) cadillac escalade. Not positive of the max dims, but I can get exacts if necessary. I'm just assuming similar to most other large SUV's. He is running his stock head unit but willing to upgrade if necessary, which will most likely happen. He is considering (2) 18's or maybe even (4) 15's or 18's. I am looking for suggestions as to what subs and amps to buy, but even more so to what else is necessary to accomodate such a large amount of RMS. He is running his stock alt. So, besides the Big 3 which I know he wi…

In trying to fix the wire that comes from the inside of the engine bay fuse box that connects to the battery. For some reason to burn and makes it hard to start my car...would this be from my car audio system or from the wire being loose on the connecting post.

so i have been searching around for a solid definition and i cant find any so any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a 2000 dodge dakota 4 door and i plan on making a ported box to take the place of my smaller seat in the back. I am hooking up 2 fi ssds on a memphis mcd1500 watt amp at 2 ohms. If anyone has a dakota which is the best box set up to go with. Im not sure if i should do subs up port up, or subs up ports off to the side or what. The box will be facing forward so the longest part will be facing from back to front. so i pretty much will do subs up forsure just not sure what to do with ports. any dakota owners have any help to give?

i need a good fuse block because mine sucks terribly any suggestions?
