Where can I buy the glue to recone a sub and what kind is the best? thanks

how many watts is hifonics amps over rated

i wanna get some power master cells... but i will not pay msrp.... any ideas where i can find some? i went to the website and thay want you to email them for pricing... sounds scary... price range anyone?

(literally a browser window) So I was looking at amps as I always do... I just love fcking looking at them.... pricing out what I like and then starting all over again... Recently went to woofersetc and found this company 'Wet Sounds' The pricing is around the same ball park of ZED Audio... These are "marine" products apparently but they look pretty nice. Anyone ever heard of them before? They pretty much make everything.. A $700 subwoofer is available too... GEEZ!!!

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

has anyone owned one of there alts and what do you thing if you have???

So Ive been thinking about it and seems like it would be fun. I know nothing about running in comps and would like a little info on how. I know there is a ton of different classes to be in but I dont have a clue about them. Do they go by how much power you run, how many and how big your subs are, or if you have a wall or somethin? I always see these posts about going to shows and you guys make it sound fun. Id appreciate it if I could get a little rundown on what might be best for me with the stuff in my sig. Any info would be awesome. Thanks guys.

okay...so idk what is going on with my system - everytime i turn it up it gets SO distorted I cant even play it..and when I say turn up I mean like just a cpl clicks, like 3/40. i thought it may have been the RCAs but ran a brand new one straight back to my amp and still getting distortion...could it be a bad ground - that's the only other thing I can think off? it does it with both my mono and 4ch amp...

Quick question. What is better having 1 big amp for 2 subs or having 1 amp for both subs that match the sub wattage?

My buddy recently purchased a set of Adire Koda Components. The woofer is going to be placed in the stock door locations. We are just wondering about the tweeter placement. The stock tweeter location is on top of the dash reflecting off the windshield. I know the Kodas work good off axis so I figured the windshield could work well. Any objections or suggestions?

I was looking around last night for some 5.25s and i found a ad with a 6 ch. amp and a 4 ch. amp along with 3 sets of 5.25 component sets all old school audio art and 2 sets of pioneer 6.5'' midbass for $150 for everything. it's a round trip 7 hr. drive to pick it all up. Is it worth the drive and $150 i don't know much abouth the audio art brand. also the components are new in the box.

I picked all of this up for $150 today! 3 pairs 5.25 '' audio art component sets, 1 pair 6.5'' audio art component set, 2 pairs of 6.5''old school crappy pioneers, all of the wiring, a audio art 360.6 xe amp and a 160.4xe amp. I'm hoping to install this in my tahoe,what do you guys think? did i do allright?

Been reading lots of sketchy reviews about these lately. American company takes over and then quality goes down? Heard from a mechanic that if you buy these from autozone they are significantly different than from manufacturer

i have a 98"GMC ext truck that im going to wall off soon. i was wondering what set up would be better. 2 SSA Zcon 18s 2250w rms each= 4500w rms 4 SSA Icon 15s 1250w rms each= 5000w rms i have room to build either set up and lets assume i have the alt, amps n batts to push it..

I accidently punchered my surround today. more like a slice. does anybody know what I can buy to seal it up as a band-aid. Don't want to pay for a recone till I really mess it up. I heard that car window sealent works well, but dont know. anybody body got any suggestions?

Hi all- I have been battling with alternator whine for a majority of my car audio hobby. I have tried countless things. I had just made an LC filter to filter out noise in the power line of my radio thinking it was finally it, but unfortuately it remained. Then it dawned on me, I have 2 amps for speakers in my car now and I tried disconnecting the one I've had for years. The noise went away, which is great to finally know what is causing it. The problem is I don't have the cash to buy a new amp for my midbass. Does anyone have any idea where to start troubleshooting inside the amp for something like this? I'm a fourth year electrical engineering student, so I'm quite …

So..... I recently Installed a new headunit into my car and I had a Sundown SAE-1200D hooked up to it. The headunit was an Alpine iDA-X200 and it worked fine for a couple hours. Then this weird popping noise kept happening..... After a couple more hours this noise was so bad that the amp kept going into protection. No matter what head-unit or amp I use the same thing happens and I have no idea what the FUCK is going on!!!!! Also, the headunit works fine with out the RCA cables and can play other peoples systems through the RCA cable when wired into my car and the amp can also play when hooked up directly to an I-POD. PLEASE HELP!

I got to hang out at TC Sounds earlier this week and check out all of the new toys in the works. Pics and a full write-up are below. http://www.audiojunkies.com/blog/280 Enjoy.

I'm just wondering where you guys get your speaker box carpet from.

Hey guys. Ill be coming back to the U.S from Afghanistan next year and by that time I'll have enough money saved up to upgrade my sound system a bit. I'm in need of someone who is good at building ported enclosures around the shreveport, la area. I'm willing to drive a couple hour to have this done. Any help of info would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to find a metal mesh grill for the 3" NS-3s. Anyone have a source on something that would work?

My friend has been having some system problems. At higher volumes his system would completely shut down. The headunit would turn off and then come back on. His volt meter has never dipped much below 13 volts. He has an alpine headunit with a kenwood mono amp and alpine sub. Any ideas and what is causing this or what could be done to figure it out?
