General Audio

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.

Hi there guys. I'm working on deciding what I want to buy for two door 2001 Jimmy. I have a Kenwood KDC-X492 headunit installed already, along with Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5" components in the doors. My goals for the system is to have a setup that will get plenty loud while maintaining good musical balance. Now, I'm no noob to the car audio game, this truck will be getting the full treatment of sound deadening, HO alt, 2-3 batteries and more so it will handle about anything I want do with it much like I did my van. My questions are for those with experience with both the 10" SSD and 12" BTL series subwoofers from Fi. My original design for the truck was to use two 10" …

has anyone heard kicker cvr subwoofers?would they sound good and getr loud off saz1000?

I have a 1/24th scale Chevy Express cargo. I had planned on making a miniature SPL vehicle. I could not find a speaker that would fit in the van (would have to be a 2 inch sub). After watching the styrofoam plate speaker video that was posted on SMD, got me thinking... Maybe I could make a custom lil' woofer to fit my application. I watched that video a few times and figured I could improve on his design a bit... So this is what I've come up with. Let me explain this now.. The Blue is the basket. As I won't be able to make a sub style motor, I will do something similar to what he had done in the video. however make it more like a real sub instead a bunch of cutlery an…

effin bodyshop took it offf. where can i get a new one. just plain white, like 3x5 or 4x6 ish

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.

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?

does any one know where i can buy a cheap mic for spl and software ? or maybe some one has one for sale ?

I have not had my truck in months, and last night I stayed up through the night to re-install some old equipment I have had, and damn I forgot how nice and pure the RF fanatic Q's and the old RF amps on them sound, oh yeah, cranked the Overdrive back up and have the Eclipses shaking crap in cars next to me, :487: I missed that so much, just all clean and loud abusive sound, just gotta clean the laser on the Eclipse HU humm prep the beast for next season soon

Howdy everyone, hope all is well... My buddy is a memeber of these forums and just spend ashit load of money on some FI audio and he refered me, he knew of my intentions of buying a speaker + amp package from soniceletronix just to get some bump in my trunk now, untill i can save up to get the high end beautiful quality, i just cant wait need sounds now lol... Heres my sisutation, I've got 400-500 dollers to spend on a speaker/s (2 perf, but 1 good one is good) 12, or 10 if i cant get my hands on a good enough amp for the price range... I've got a 2007 Chevy Impala, and its got a opening behind the seats where it will allow very nice flow from the trunk into the sitting a…

My friend has an 04 infiniti fx 35 and wanted to know if it is possible for him to keep his stock radio which Is a bose system on a stock 300 watt amp and just change the sub, is this possible or will he have to change out the amp too? Is it that easy, can he just replace both the amp and sub and keep the same radio? he is just looking for more bass to add to his system. I believe it has 11 speakers and 2 subs.

These are what I am currently debating to put in a Dodge Charger SRT. It will be made into a show car, so the way it sounds is very important. but it is not meant mearly for competitions. All of them will be set up nicely with plexiglass and such, much like what can be seen magazines like Performance Sound and Auto.

Helping out a friend. He currently has an alpine 9887 headunit and wants to run active. I suggested for him to get a sundown 50.4, sea neo tweeters and the mli-65 mids. He also wants to run coaxials off his headunit for the rear. Would that cause any problems other then throwing off the sound stage?

I have seen some of the new KX 350.2 for an excellent price on ebay but who else has good kicker prices for amps and subs?

Alright considering pickin up another sundown 3000, and it got me thinking of bigger subs. Anyways, how does subs up port back work in a trunk car? I have 2 15s now, and considering 2 18s, but the subs would have to be facing up for this to work.

So yeah..I just ordered a Kenwood KDC-X794..I have read good reviews about it, but some people had crazy stuff to say about it. Anyone have anything to say?

Hey guys i found this great deal on G31 shipped for 150 each. and i was looking for a review on these batteries? like has anyone had any previews experience with these batteries? also more importantly that price seems really low to me is that the price they go for normally? and one more thing these are BLANK deka g31's. which means they don't have a label on them the seller does say they are 100% deka's though? any thoughts or recommendations? thanks for your time Kenneth

Okay guys I need a little help on this. I need help on how to tune an amp the right way...I am installing a RF P400-4 that will be going to 4 6x9's and want it tunned correctly, and I have never really been showed how to tune an amp ever.
