I'm on Knukonceptz.com right now and i'm filling my cart with all the shit i'm going to need. I got 100 ft Kolossus Fleks Kable 1/0 (50ft blue / 50ft black) Two sets of Krystal Kable 2 Channel 6M Twisted Pair RCA Cable (that reminds me, where can i buy remote wire?) Now, i cannot think of how much speaker wire i'm going to need. I'm pretty sure i'm going with KASA Kable Silver Plated 10 Gauge Speaker Wire Car Audio Wire BUT i don't know how much... the 2 amps are going to be mounted to the box and the amount of speakers i have is 2. Suggestions? I don't want to over shoot by 40 feet considering i'll never end up using it and at 3 bucks a foot it'll big a pretty nice amou…

i was looking into buying a 15" Fi ssd then i had my eyes on the 18" but i just dont have the trunk space for the recommended 6-10cubes ported. is there anyone out there that has a box under specs and its good or should i just stick with the 15" or what. my trunk is only about 35 inches wheel well to wheel about 16" high and roughly 30 some inches deep....i would have to have the sub facing upwards....so not much room to work with...tell me what you guys think. BTW i know steve meades box for his 18"s is only 20 cubes for 4 18"s so that means he only has about 5 cubes per sub. idk gimme some info and feedback please.

I have the chance to buy an orion hcca d2400. The guy says it keeps blowing fuses. I'm thinking the power supply is shot. Can anyone give me a rough estimate as to what db-r charges for this sort of repair. I put in a request but haven't heard anything back yet.

My buddy in Atlanta just started his own Internet Audio Store. Here is the link. Unfortunately the site is still being worked on so there is not much there. It will get better with time though! http://www.autosoundconcepts.com/ He can get just about anything (trust me, I have had him quote some pretty funky stuff ) If you need anything just give him an email and he will do his best to answer your question or get you a price. By the way, he goes off for his Marine Reserve 2 week duty the 15th of Sept so he won't be around to answer emails.

Not too long ago, some of us went on a buying frenzy of some posted equipment by 'NEXT'. I was wondering if anyone who had bought amps or subs had any feedback on quality and sound? I bought a set of co-ax spkrs and a component set, and they sounded great. Just curious.. MattB

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

Hey all It seems the general consensus is to use 14"-16" or port area per cube for slot ports, and that flared round ports (aka aeroports) are recommended @ 8"-12" per cube... Now I was thinking about fabricating a port out of Sonotube or the like, and possibly creating some flared ends using fiberglass... What would be a good port area to shoot for? I was figuring if I used a 10" tube that would give me ~78in² Av which for a 6.5ft³ enclosure after displacements nails it right at 12" per cube. For an 18" driver. Thanks

Hello guys, just to let you know some scores with SSA subs this week end. A friend of mine did 145.2 dbs at 44 Hz IIRC, with 2 Xcon 15" on 4 saz1000 amps. It was his first time metering on a Termlab. Sensor on the windshield, on the right side. He was very pleased with that score, for a non spl setup. His box is 4 ft3 per sub, tuned to 30 Hz. Another one did 140.1 with an SSA Icon 15" in a 3.5 ft3 box tuned to 32 Hz.. The amp was a Digital Design M1 (I think so). The spl record for the week end is 150.something. But with a "pure" spl setup : wall, no mids&highs ! I don't know what subs and what amps were playing. I'll try to meter my car soon. I know a guy with a Te…

i was at work last month and what did I find in a junk drawer? A brand new digital converter box. I asked my boss what was the story with it. He told me that he and a coworker had bought it cheap in 2009 to use with a tv in the pharmacy and that I could have it. Win. I'm putting the box in my center console and buy an antenna to mount either on the back deck or near the front glass by the front defroster. anybody used one of theses in a car or RV while moving? I hear reception is crystal when parked and choppy like satellite during a storm while in motion, Thoughts?

Here is the planned system. 1995 s-10 blazer is the ride. High output alt (200-300 amp output). Yellow top optima up front. Two, for now, Kinetik khc2400 batteries in back. Four MA Audio hk802sx amplifiers. Two channel high current amps rated at 4400 watts RMS x1 @1ohm. We are guessing with full power behind them they will put out about 3500 watts each. Four FI Audio BL 15s. My question is this. Should a guy run two or four runs of 0 gauge wire to the back? Please explain why you say which one. I think two will work as the two of them can transfer around 600 amps through thier 13-14 foot lengths and that is about all that is available from the alt and battery…

anyway, a little back story, I sold this sub to a friends brother, he brings it back to me and says the sub is blown and figures I could use it. with a little inspection I noticed a few things. the tencil leads were coated in the normal wire cover thingy that some subs use (red and black wires), well, the wires will still pretty much covered, but there are spots that seem to be missing wire cover. and the Positive wire is pulled out of the terminal a little (meaning it needs re-soldered) and this 18 has a dual spider setup right? the top one is glued on a big ring about a quarter to half an inch tall. anyways, the top spider seems to have pulled itself off of the ring pie…

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!

I have 2 12" 2xl's and a Powerbass XA-1500d in a sealed enclosure ( getting a bigger box i think its 2 small). Its sounds pretty damn good overall clean tight bass. I had a slight issue with the bass boost being as high as the gain (at half) and the amp going into protect but other than that no issues and everthing sounds good. As soon as I get my other box I'll post a vid.

I can get a Fi SSD 12" or a IA Lethal Injection 15" for about the same price. Which one would you recommend for a small sealed box with 1100x1 @ 2ohms which is what my boston gt28 amp puts out. ???
