I'm looking for a 4gauge wiring kit and since I would need fuses, ring terminals etc, I figured buying a complete kit would be my best bet right? What brand do you guys recommend? I was looking www.knukonceptz.com but their kits come with RCA's, and I already have some DB Link RCA's in the truck. I've heard good things about knukonceptz, but that's because they're good quality and cheap, but if you guys don't recommend them let me know. -John

I had a discussion with a friend about the most popular voice coil configs in a raw driver. What configurations do you look for when looking for a driver? Based on your current setup please.

Im in need of a website for my company. I Dont have any spare cash at the moment, b/c I am out so much for startup cost, but have spoken with Scott Atwell of Fi Car Audio, and he is willing to help me. I would like to trade Fi product for a nice webiste. If any of you guys know anyone that might be able to help let me know. If you could have them email me, pm me, or hit me up on either messenger, Aim or MSN, and shoot me over some website you have previously designed. Thanks in advance, Shawn Fleming Fi Car Audio Tech

If you had 3 exterior 6" aeroports would it effect them in a negative way to have them entering near the coners of the box or at the lower part? Or is it better to have them in the middle? Thanks, Brock

How do you wire the amp to a 4ohm load for the speakers.With 2 small tweeters also. http://mobile-emotions.stores.yahoo.net/bosrt6x9cars.html http://www.cardomain.com/item/CLAAPX2120?r...m_term=apx-2120

Doing this for a guy on CA.com. Going into an Envoy with charcoal gray interior & woodgrain trim, so I'm trying to match it up, but I've never seen the vehicle. 9^3 @ 35Hz with 106^2 of port. Sub will fire up. Double baffle, window bracing, and 45's in the corners. Some dummy got ahead of himself and started painting before doing the sub cut out. Wooden rings will extend port openings and surround sub.

I am planning to utilize the space under the rear bench of a boat for a sub for listening in open space. I would like to get the most punch with this volume and I'm looking for recommendations. My overall goal is a balance between loud efficient bass and a decent flat response for bass frequencies suitable for most kinds of music. After MDF board thickness, I have an internal space of 3.5 cubic feet to work with. Since this is a boat installation, I assume that it would be advisable to consider an enclosure designed for home use as they are better suited for open space for this application. If I went with two RL-p12's, each would have 1.75 cubic feet available volume. If …

I'm in the middle of my girl's system install in her '01 civic and am having a tough time deciding were to place the tweeter The tweeters are too deep to flush mount on the door so I would have to surfarce mount if I put them on the doors or I could flush mount them in the kickpanels. Or maybe flush mount in front of the door handle? What do you guys suggest Also can start build log pics but this is a fairly simple install with f/r comps, two amps, one 12", 100 sqft sound deadening and cd player. Do you guys want the log?

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.

Well, those of you that read the build log know of he troubles I've had with my system and car. Combine that with the fact that we traded the Jeep in on the wife's new G35 and I'm left with nothing to haul stuff in. The decision has been made to sell my car and get a truck. The bad news on that is that I like driving my little go-kart and I'll miss it. The good news is that I'll finally have a truck again, I get to start from scratch on the system (some things will carry over and thus the point of this thread which I'll get to in a minute) and I'm getting a G37 at the end of the year to fill the performance car void left by by the departure of the SRT-4. Now to the po…

http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/tool_det...?productID=2739 Would this have enough power for mounting regular subwoofers in boxes??? ...or to drill the occasional hole?

What kind of wood is good to build boxes out of other than MDF.

I finally got to cutting out the speaker holes, this is just the skeleton...I will be making 3/4" MDF rings and sloping them out and much more. 4 Adire Audio Extremis 6.4 run off Kicker KX850.4 __ 50Hz-450Hz 2Adire Audio FR125S 4.5" full rangers of a KX350.4 __ 450Hz-3.5kHz 2 Vifa XT25TG30 1" Ring Radiator tweets off a KX200.2 __ 3.5kHz on up 2 Audio Control 6XS for 24dB with 2 bandpassed.... Will have 2 CSS SDX15's in 7cubes each @ 20Hz...walled off 2 Crossfire VR4000D's

Umm, Just like the title, Are there any magazines made that are dedicated to car audio? Thanks ~MadroX

Okay, I drive a 1981 Ford Crown Vic, and I have a huge trunk. I am wanting to upgrade my Digital Designs 2515a to something a bit louder. I have 1200 RMS @ 2 ohms I can give one of these b!tches. It will go in a big a$$ ported box, size is not an issue. I love my Digital Designs 2515A, it is sexy and pretty loud, I am just wanting something a bit better now. Right now my DD2515a is in 4.26 cubic ft. [Tuned to 36 hz 65.875 Square Inches port Will be powered by two Directed 750d Strapped [1200 @ 2 ohm] I may upgrade soon, I am wondering how much would be a fair price to sell these for on eBay, one is in kind of rough physical shape though. I am thinking something ar…

Does anyone know if the liquid sound deadeners that you roll on work as good as the mats.

I am going to want to sound deaden my trunk and was wondering what are some of the best sound deadeners.

Anyone had luck with the dodge durangos and if so how do they compare to blazers and explorers? I am looking for a new suv in the 2000 (year) range. and I like the look better but herd they dont do as good on the meter as explorers and blazers. I have 2 12" BTL Fully Loaded subs. any feedback would be awesome Thanks, Brock

I got 2 dual 4 re audio re 12s. what are some good amps for them right now i have a Rockford Fosgate 301M and i want a better amp. 900 watts MAX x 1 at 2 ohms 300 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms 150 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms Selectable 50-250 Hz variable low-pass crossover. 12 dB per octave TRANSana circuit designs keep voltages low and signal paths simple in the pre-amp section, for minimum distortion and maximum power.

ok.....Im lost completely on this one......I rewired my whole system, all the speakers to the 4 channel, rewired the rcas, the remote, regrounded everything, the whole nine yards.....The alternator whine was almost none existant till i tuned the amps. Started with a louder alternator whine, then i heard my speakers popping as i changed tracks, so i figured id try to reground my head unit. After i get that ready to reground i turn the car on, i could be about an inch from metal and everything popped, with no spark. As soon as i touch metal, everything pops again. This is where i become lost. I take the ground off, and i hear a rumbling, i open the trunk and my subs ar…

I have a 1966 Chevy C-10 Pickup and I am pulling the system out of my car to put in the Truck when I get the brakes fixed. Anyway, I have been surfing the web like crazy and I can't find a dash install kit for the truck So I can put my HU in it. Do they even make one? Or am I going to have to have someone cut into the dash to make a custom fitted one?

Are they simi quality amplifiers....maybe for the wifes car? I may have a good beed on the set. here is all I can find on the BMA amplifiers http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/BMA_29e/ or can any of the board experts tell me if the board is decent?or is it just trash?
