General Audio

I finally got around to actually designing a ported box for 1 12" Memphis PR. I played around on reaudio.com playing with numbers and made a box to my specs. And FWIW, you can download the caculator to you computer, by going to the parent directory... http://reaudio.com/speaker_box/ Here is what I have now... The person I'm making it for listens to mostly rap and hip-hop. What should the box be tuned to? Memphis's specs 2.00 / 45 / 12.5 x 2 x 19. Any help would be greatly apprecitated

ive been lookin at getting 2 12" kicker CVX subs with a kicker zx1500.1, or 1 15" maybe 18" Fi BL with a kicker zx1500.1 which set up will most likly be louder when put in proper box??

So im getting a silverado for christmas the 00' - 06' body style. I think thats the years. Anyways its the one before the newest one. I really want a standard cab and i plan on getting 1 BL 10" ported. Can anyone with a standard cab silverado tell me how much room is behind the seats? Does anyone have a box behind there truck seats? Not just a silverado. Looking for all kinds of ideas. Thanks, Drake

I've decided my next setup would either consist of a single icon 15 or two SA12s, my goal is SQ first but i do want it to be somewhat loud. both setups would be ran off a sundown sax 1200d amp. The setup would go in a 95 BMW 740 the alternator is 140amps the stock battery is rather large. I'm trying to stay in the 1200 watt range. thanks in advance. will post more info about the setup if needed

I will be doing a blowthrough in my truck, gonna order amps and such on Wednesday. Anyhow, it is going to be 4 12" BLs, but my question is, how do you think I should do my port. I was thinking staggering the 4 subs. The two outside ones low, the two middle higher up allowing the subs to sit closer together, and doing one big square port in the middle of the box. My goal is to be a rid. loud daily pounder with possible compeition...will this work?

how would you choose to wire three single four ohm subs? likewise, how would you choose to wire five single four ohm subs?

Tinsel leads snapped in half on me today, how would i go about soldering them back together without the solder dripping everywhere?

i used to know one of these, and after i sold it.. a few people here said thay would have bought it.... well i have the chance to get another one... does anyone have an idea how how many watts at its lowest ohm load... and an idea of what that load maybe

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

Hey Everyone I've got a 745Li that I am bypassing the entire L7 audio system. The system is not what i want and i don't want to invest 1000 bucks just to put aftermarket amps into it. My idea is to first remove the ASK unit. Then fabricate the trim to fit a din size that will allow any aftermarket radio t0 fit. I'm sure the trim won't be strong enough to hold the weight of a head unit, so i need some of your ideas on supporting that weight. this part should be fairly simple. I'd like to cover the trim in an exact match of wood grain as the rest of the car but i have no clue where to go with that idea. I'll have to find an ignition and a 12v constant along with a gro…

I just bought me a memphis amp that will put out 1500 watts at 2 ohms. Is this wiring kit good? What fuse size do i need to get? Copper Clad Aluminum These rcas? Knukonceptz product detail for NEW KARMA SS 2 CHANNEL 6 METER RCA CABLE Is there anything else i need to wire it up? And what size speaker wire would i need to use?

If I want to have 1 battery for my electrical system and one for my audio, how do I split the two batteries from the alternator? Split them from alternator into both batteries separately (and then into the capacitor or parrelel to the 2-3-4 car battery)? I don't want the audio system to pull from the cars electrical system.

well i have come across this store called mobile sound works on ebay i was just wondering if it is a good store or if anyone has went through them before thanks

I have been too scared to even start on removing my door panels to complete my install and put in some mid bass drivers / tweets. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with 07 / 08 tahoes / avalanches and knew the right way to take the door panels / pillars out without breaking anything. After searching around for a while I couldn't find anything. I really don't want to mess it up too much.... it's basically brand new. (like 18's won't vibrate it apart anyway)..... Any help would be appreciated.

I am having noise issues when I start my truck and whenever I change tracks on my HU. I have a Kenwood KDC-X891 and whenever I start my truck I have like a humming, pulsing noise through my subs, and whenever I change tracks I get a little thump through my subs. However, this only happens whenever I am playing a CD. Whenever I am changing radio stations I do not have any noise, and if I start my truck with the radio on there is no noise. I do not have any noise whenever I use the USB port either. I can hook up a flash drive and flip through all those tracks without one thump and start my truck with it in this function without any noise, but once I switch the source to CD,…

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…

My brain is fried from this long week. I can't even think enough to try to figure this out. If someone can tell me I'd owe them one of the beers I'm about to drink. Here is a picture. These are internal measurements. I just need to know the volume of this thing. Thanks in advance!

A week ago or so my batteries came in. I got 2 Odyssey PC2150's They'll each have 1 sundown 1500d. Those are going to be bridged onto a single loaded BTL 15".

thanks to Rich for the box, Steve Miller at RD for the amp, and teamquickcelica (at caf.com) for the sub

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.

My buddy has a Ford Explorer Sporttrac. You know the pickup, with quad cab. What can I put in it for a system? I was thinking a single Soundsplinter RL i8 single 4 and a sundown 1000. Sub and port fire forward at feet of rear passengers. Any other suggestions?
