Hi, I recently just got a ford 2003 explorer, along with that i got a JL W7 13.5 and an amp that ive allready had, i just dont know anything about ohms or all this car electrical crap my Sub specs can be found here http://www.crutchfield.com/p_13692116/JL-Audio-13W7AE-D1-5.html?showAll=N&search=jl_w7_13&skipvs=T#details-tab and my amp here http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17599_Hifonics-BXi-2610D.html I just need to know if this setup will work cause my sub has dual voice coil with 1.5 ohms per coil but the amp only does 1, 2 and 4 ohms i believe? i just dont know if this is to much power or what, im also using 0 gauge wire, and i have a 1200 Kinetik batter…

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 …

Just got my 2 12 inch BLs, however ive been having trouble finding a ported box for them. Im looking to get the box asap. If anyone could help me get the box buying process going ti would be greatly appreciated

I'm new at car audio and this is the first system I'm installing in my car. I'm hoping that some of you can answer my questions. I recently bought two Alpine Type R 10" subs and I was wondering if a MB Quart DSC 1500.1D amp will be able to power both of these subs. Also I'm looking for a good 2Din headunit that has navigation, bluetooth, usb, and dvd playback. I've been looking at a few online, but I'm lost when it comes to quality and good brands to look at. Also, are these headunit usually powerful enough to handle two Alpine Type R coaxial speakers or will I need an amp for those too? Any suggestions would be appreciated! My system I'm trying to put together is going t…

I just bought a pioneer avh-3200bt, pioneer gm-d9500f, and pioneer ts-d1720c speakers which came with 2 subs, 2 tweeters, and 2 crossovers. Where is the best place to buy an amp kit for it and how do you hook up the speaker amp wires when you have a mono amp hooked up to a subwoofer? I know how to hook up the subwoofer and amp without any problems, but I've never hooked up component speakers before and am a little confused on how to hook up the speaker amp to the back of the HU and to the battery if I already have a subwoofer amp connected to both?

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…

the saz 1500 says its rated at 1500 watts @1 ohm,if i want to run 2 12 inch cvx kickers off that what ohm would i buy the woofer in?Sorry for such a clueless answer just dont know much bout that..

before i tear my car apart does anyone know what size speakers i can fit in my 07 magnum. not lookin for shitty ones but no where has a list of what;l fit, crutchfield either. im lookin fit a drop in preferably jl or focal. i know theyre 6x9s but most website say only 5.25 or 6.5s only. thanks

hmmm what could it possible be....? 2 TC3K's !!!!! top view, and a shot with the Orion 2500D, stupid UPS guy delivered the first sub, two diff. trucks...? WTF? 4 houses down the block???!?!?!?! good thing I saw him drive by and checked the awfully familiar looking sub crate box, with my name and address on it!!! anyway seems like things are finally starting to roll. Next, new 2-way alarm, tint.... then alt, wires... ect. cant wait!

Not sure if this is the right area so sorry if its not but here we go... Ok, so ive never installed my own set up so want im asking here is if anyone can help me put together something really really cheap i can use just to get the hang of installing everything, it doesnt have to sound amazing or even be good i just want the install experience before i do my actually set up. No custom work will be done so im aiming at finding a something already in an enclosure, thanks for any help. And i know somebody is gonna say budget, and my budget is as cheap as it can possibly get. Also for a deck is it gonna need to be replaced with something or can i just use a stock piece of junk…

Hey guys I have a little project I need help with. I recently purchased a new head unit with a monitor, replacing my old Pioneer 4000UB with iPod control. The new unit only has RCA Aux-In and does not offer iPod integration. What I am trying to accomplish is have my iPod play audio output through the sound system (two amps - one for mids/highs and one for subs) independent of the head unit, so I can play videos/movies on the head unit while still having the option to listen to a different track than what's being outputted from the movie... if that makes sense. It would be an easy solution to plug the iPod directly to the Aux-In of the head unit but then the screens would…

this is what i have first off. then the question. HU is a Kenwood Excelon XXV-01D, comps would be a set of Illusion LM-6 mids and rainbow tweets. amps would include a orion 8002 for the mids, and a orion 2002 for the tweets. NOW, for the quetions. seeing how the HU has a pretty good x-over on it. could i use that for the prossesing and use the front pre-outs for the tweets and the rear for the mids. (HU also has sub outs too) if that wouldn't work, what kinda prossesor should i use, what what kinda settings should i have it on. thanks.

Is there any way to find out online the results of an IASCA metering that was done last week at the spring fling carshow? I competed on Sat, but have to leave (**** work), and I never found out where I placed. As of Sat. I was in 1st with a 143.5 in SPL single 15". I looked on the site, but I couldn't find anything other than last years final results. I could be looking in the wrong place though since i'm not to familiar with the site. Thx guys, Vic.

i'm lookin at buying a 15'' old school stroker for $100, but the dual 4 ohm coils are metering 3 ohm do you guys think it has much playing life or should i not buy it.

I am going to do both bassrace and spl. Just wondering what would be some good sub that can handle 4k rms daily. Idk if there even is. I'm getting mike singers bass race box from his eclipse to put into mine. It's tuned to 35hz right now. Any ideas? I have $1000 limit. I have to sell my 15 btls first though.

I'm trying to make a list of things I need to get and/or do. I'm going to do the big 3, upgrade my battery,and already got a HU. Okay I have a 15" fi BL, if anyone could point me to some spec of a box with good SPL that would be very helpful. I've aslo got a RF 1500-1bd so would I need 1 or 2 batteries for it all.Could I use one battery to run my car and the system with no dimming of my lights? My alternator is stock, but I don't know much about them so how many amps would be good? I'm putting it all in a 99' Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for someone to design a ported enclosure for my '02 Explorer. It's going to be for two 12" Fi Qs. If anyone is willing or knows someone, let me know and I'll get them the dimensions. I'm obviously willing to send some money to the designer as well. Let me know if you guys have anyone in mind. KB

What do you consider a fully loaded 18” Fi BTL P Chamfer Y or N Cooling Y or N 3rd Magnet Y or N HiXmCoil Y or N Daily or Spl Y or N

Yesterday I finally got my ported box built, but now i need a little help with tuning my amp. I had the frequency set a little high because of the temporary sealed box i was using, but now i want to tune it for the lows. The box is 2.0ft^3 tuned to 32hz with a Fi Q12. This is all in a 96 honda accord off of 800 watts. What should i aim to tune my amps frequency at? Any help would be very appreciated.

Well I've been designing my box for my 2003 ext cab s10. I've decided to do the sub at a 45 degree angle facing the windshield and do the port the same way. The box is 6 ft^3 after all displacements and the port is 80 in^2 tuned to 30 hz so its about 32in long. The port is angles 45 degree off of the baffle board and goes straight down and makes a 90 degree turn and goes across the bottom. Does it have to be angled the same in the bottom of the box like its pictured below? Is that how you would do it?

I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. Currently i have 2 12" kicker cvr's powered by a ssl amp. Im planning on changing to 2 12" Fi q's and maybe the bl's. With a sundown amp along wiht components and a 4 channel amp. I will be changing the alternator and the battery also. Does anyone have any info on these subs or a better recommendation for my setup?
