General Audio

Well ive heard of this brand before and i had never actually seen any of their products...i was wondering if it was an "ok" brand...cuz their prices on amazon are good...and i was thinking of buying their 3000w amp and 3 of their 1000w subs...at 1.34ohms should be enough power for these subs...please give me sum insight cuz its a gift for my lil brothers bday...and my budget is around $1000

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…

How much round over do I need to do on the 90's inside a port?

Well, last summer, me and my friends saw somebody w/ an ice chest speaker box. They had a Pioneer HU, some Kicker 8's, some Pioneer 6x9s, and a small amp and a battery. It sounded really good. We had the idea to do something bigger and better however. On our quest for the perfect ice chest to use (hey its gotta be big enough to hold beer), we came across a rubbermaid bench. We thought it would be perfect for the project and so we bought it. I took my old pioneer hu (deh-p330) and my friend donated some 5.25s, and I bought some pioneer 6x9s off of a friend. For bass, I picked up a pair of RE 8's while they were on sale. I bought a JBL 80.4 to power it all. After a few w…

I like to keep tweakin test tones and have a question about something- When analyzing the test tones i generate, using a pure sine wave, i get a 30db amplitude reading. Now, if i generate a square wave, i get 32db amplitude. So... in theory, the generated square wave will produce higher levels of spl at a lower power level... But.. does a generated square wave have the same effect as a forced square wave? meaning... will the sub(s) heat up quicker even with a non-clipped signal compared to a generated sine wave? I'm assuming a generated square wave will clip sooner than a sine wave due to the increase in amplitude... I'm speculating on whether it would be worth my time …

I just bought the Pioneer DEH-P6000UB and i love it but... wut should the low pass frequency be set up at as well at the hpf? i want a sound system that gets the best outta my mids, highs and bass

Hello, I recently received a 12" btl. I put it in a well built box (I have pics in the build log section), on a Sundown saz 1500 amplifier. I had a weird noise coming from the speaker at my max volume. Even if I did not change any settings from my previous setup (I had an xcon 15" on it with NO problem), it seems that my gain was too high. I turn it down and everything is good now ! But I want to find good sounding test tones to set the gain right on the amp. Can somebody show me where to find some ? I think in the 50 to 60 hz range. I set the gain by ears, and I will try to see what I can do with a DMM for that. Thanks in advance.

I worked this past weekend. Drove to the track and parked my car on friday afternoon. I went to leave tonight and when I would turn up volume to my normal listening level the red light would come on and my sub would not work. When I parked my car on friday everything was working correctly. Any thoughts why this would happen? We did get some pretty hard rains but I have had no issues with this previously. I have been running this set up since january. I have not had the chance to check voltages yet but any direction to why the sudden change. My current battery is just the standard car battery I purchased from sears in december. Just confused.

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

the pic below shows the ipod but is there a wire or connector that allows the zune to be connected to the head unit? http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=5082

I just wanted to announce that after a whole lotta pming, www.alteraudiousa.com now sells the USamps I/S line through me.

I've noticed that all my bass cd's are in my car 580 miles away in Houston, and so I need some bass songs. I'd love to get phill collins or any other bad ass bass song. Thanks Taylor

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.

I looked at both company's products and was a little baffled as to why AA would want all of their subs to have a 1.85 ohm(3.7 since all of their subs are dvc) whereas FI's products are 2 ohm/vc respectfully unless FI's are the same but just secretly rounded. I used the calculator on http://www.the12volt.com but couldn't get the AA's to come out to an even ohm no matter how many woofers are added to the mix.

Just a curious thought. Say I had a dual 4ohm speaker but my amp performs best at 1ohm. Can I add an inline resistor to the speaker to drop the ohm load to the amp? The sub is 1500 watts rms and the amp is 1500 watts rms at 1ohm. I thopught I would throw this up to see if it would be a simple solution for a 1 sub 1 amp setup

Hi fellas, I am aquiring an 18 Nightshade that needs to be reconed. My question is, does the recone kit come with the glue and shims? If not where can I get them. I thought I'd post this since Jacob has been so busy. Thanks guys!

i have multiple questions. 1) i have two MMats 15 P3.0 . that can take 700 rms each. What amp should i use to push these? 2) i have a big custom box tuned to 30 hz . it doesnt fit in my trunk so i will be having them on my rear seat(tightly secured down) should i have them facing the roof or the front of the car? and how will it sound? thank you for everyones help. im a newbie.

Need to replace my starting battery on a 1999 chevy s10 blazer.Whats a good replacement to keep up with around 1600 watts. It needs to be able to match up with a second battery in back if i decide to add one. If there is not a big deal i was just going to put in a die hard gold and be done,but want any imfo/help before spending money.

I need the specs on this Amp or someone to help me know proper way to install!!!! Thanks

I am planning on buying HC1800 and 5 HC600s soon. I want to use Knukonceptz Konfused battery terminals on these batteries but it appears that Kinetik's battery posts are for ring terminals only. So... while i was surfing, i found this- http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8425_K...P+-KHC-TP-.html So, if i buy those, all i have to do is unscrew the ones off of the batts, put these on and that's it, right?
