I'm trying to get some bass in my 2013 Tahoe and wanted to know what's a good amp to push 3 15 Fi sub's I'm not worried about price because I'm going all out with this.

I've decided for my four door tahoe z71 2004 on going with a Pioneer AVH 4400, Was going to do the app radio but it only has 2 preouts. Along with that i am going to be getting a crescendo 5800bc amp, a total of four FI Bl series Subs (either 12 or 15 inches) with the cooling option, not sure on 1ohm or two ohm impedance. Along with that i will be building my own ported box tuned to 35 or 30 hz. For the tweeters i am just going to be running two crescendo ft1 and four pwx 6.5. Haven't chosen the amp on those. I do know i will need to upgrade my electrical system on my car. I'm just posting this for some feed back on what i could enhance or if 15 inch subs would be better …

im about to build a box since the pre fab one i bought sucks. the spec sheet that came with the sub says the enclosure's external dimensions are 12.5 x 14.5 x 17.25 so would it be 14.5 length 17.25 depth and 12.5 tall? the vent area says 11 in^2(11 x 1) does that mean its 11in tall and 1in wide? the port length says 22 so does that mean that the port would look like a L with a 1 inch space from the wall?

I'm currently using two 18in btln2 on an xs8k in a 05 Hyundai Tucson enclosure was design by ram. I demo often with my four doors open and it sound great but there's a problem with loading when my doors are open I loose the deep sounding bass that I love. I'm either going with a ported wall down the center or a 4th order band pass. I'm worried that with the port being so close to the door that I'll have the same problem with loading that's why in considering band pass. New sub will either be the team fi or dc lvl6. So my question is what sub and orientation would best suite me app? If any....lol!

i have 4 of these (2 per tower) http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=295-335 and 2 of these http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=275-075 i need help on what size mdf, how big, etc. to buy to build 2 towers for my room. im gonna be ordering the dayton audio 1000w plate amp and the titanic 15" sub soon...also, i still havent ordered crossovers yet...so we need to address that as well lol...but for now...the 2 towers...i need to know how much to get from home depot tonite...and what size... another question, do i need the crossovers yet or i can hook up the speakers now to my reciever, and just get the crossovers when i order the sub and the …

Alright so Im gonna sound like a total fuckin newb but whatever. Kinda getting back into putting a stereo back into my truck, so i ordered some focal access 165 and a sundown sax125.2 for my front doors of my regular cab chebby p/u. My question is how do you guys like to run the wires for your front stage, in my past experiences hooking up a/b amps i have almost always ran into some kind of signal noise, ive tried running ground loops from deck to amp to battery, keeping the RCAs on the complete other side of the vehicle than the power and ground... seems like it never fixes it. so what im getting at is, what do you guys do? if anything? was i just using shitty RCA's a…

is there anyone here that bulid boxes?

Hello, I recently got an xbl^2 xxx motor from a friend. I was wondering who would have a re-cone kit for it. I have the motor and basket, I checked on Fi's website, but they don't seem to have it. I did see the MT's recone kit though, was wondering if I could use MT soft parts?

Hey guys i had a similar post a few months back, but i have done some more research and this is what i have came up with. have a 2007 GMC Sierra Classic reg. cab what im trying to achieve is enjoyable SQ for all types of music from bass heavy rap to country to classic rock and everything else in between. I would like it to sound clear at both low and high volumes. Im trying to keep the install as stock looking as possible. Budget is around $2,300 total. I would like to keep the speakers and tweets in the doors i understand that this is not the best location and will be off axis, but i am willing to adjust time aligment and EQ untill i have it dialed in. I can also experi…

I just bought a 2007 2dr automatic GTI, Pkg 1 no leather, with sunroof. With todays technology are all Amps the same other than power rating? I listen to a lot of AM talk radio so I still need good AM reception. When I listen to music I listen to all types except RAP, HOUSE, AND INDUSTRIAL, I do listen to: Bluegrass, Jazz, rock, bagpipes, pipe organ, motown, country, new age, punk, classical... I am trying to decide what amps to go with. I think there are some digital like Alpine. Also a/b, d Should I go aftermarket head unit or stay stock and do I loose or gain features on steering wheel or otherwise. I am not interested in motorcycles flying across the display. I w…

does anyone know of any soundoffs or any car audio shows coming up in the next few months or so in phoenix az?is there any sites that list that information i always miss them..

Just curious if anyone has ordered any items from this company before? I ordered a beanie from them around Christmas time and it arrived quickly . I ordered a sweat shirt from them in early February and my item has still not arrived. I have e mailed them 2 times and all I have gotten is the automatic response. Not sure what to think about this company...

I don't know the full story on Memphis. But I'm very, very curious as to how PowerBass stacks up to them now, and how they will stack up in the future. Memphis seems to me to be a bread-and-butter brand that many small independent shops can push without any concern that the stuff will pop up on the internet or in a big-box store. We've been selling PowerBass (AutoSound and Xtreme) for about 2 years now. We've worked really hard to emphasize the value and performance of their subs, coaxials, components, and now autosound amplifiers vs. other brands. I've told customers of the PowerBass Xtreme competitors and their history of building equipment for other brands such as M…

I need 2.5 cubes @ 33Hz. The box will be 15Hx36Wx12.5D with 3/4mdf which should net 2.96cuft.Displacement 0.14cuft. Now the problem! Can anyone tell me what tune the box will have if I go 2.5Wx14L?? I think I am way off here. After adding .75 to the ports width for the wood wall I finished with 2.47cuft. Which is pretty close to the 2.5cuft goal. I am open for suggestions with the whole box and can trash the 15h x 36w idea. Also, would be great if I knew the exacts for finding a ported boxes tune in standard. Thanks for any ideas and help in advance.

Any suggestions I have 2 box one black slot port specs are: 3.6 net after displacement tuned to 32-33 hz 2.5" port width 48 square inch of port area, both box are the same size 20d x 26w x 21h, and the aero box specs are: 4.5 net after displacement tuned to 32-33hz, 3 4" aero port 38 square inch of port area, wanted to put a sp4 v2 15 which would you guys prefer to used, I'll do a dual 12 or 15 on my other upcoming car but for now is single 15"

why does box bracing make the box quite?

wasup bros i was lookin for sumbody in the college station area that would be interested in me hookin them up with some cash to help me with my build......just dont wont a shop that dont even know what the big 3 is to mess with my system lol

Hello! I am lokking for a driver to be used in a DIY homecinema subwoofer. I found the RL-p series very interesting. My room is widht:3.1m,lenght:4.6m,height:2.1m I am planning to use the Behringer EP2500 amplifier.Any comment? ep2500 Which one should i choose? 12" or 15" Closed or sealed? What size enclosure? Is it overkill to go for 2 subwoofers in my room?(then i have to buy 2 EP2500?) Brgds Ivan Norway

So i got a double din installed on my car and after about a month my system would just randomly turn off(headunit would power off and same with subs and amp) it did it once then would reboot. I took it in they changed the wire harness and the ground. It fixed it for about 2 days i then decided to change my negative battery cable and that fixed it for a few months and then it came back and i noticed that with the head unit turned off that there was a bass note from the subs playing real faint until i turn the bass knob it gets louder. What could be the issue on why my head unit turns off by its self faulty head unit, bad amp need help asap.

First off I'd like to say hello, first time posting outside Fi / Argent Audio forums... So don't mind my retarded question, for I am new... Question would have to be, is there a aftermarket mount or something I can install to keep the rear view mirror on my windshield solid and firm, and if not, at least to stop it from doing the goonie's truffle shuffle. If I cant keep it solid, maybe something to absorb most of the movement. Running SAZ1000D & 15' Fi BT, has as good knock to it... Thanks, Dustin

At what frequency does a tone go from unidirectional to omnidirectional? Im considering doing a wall build. I could fit 2 -12" or possibly 4-10" midbass pa speakers behind the seats to use strictly for midbass to keep up with the subs and the 4 pairs of 6.5's I have in my front doors. I know this isnt the best way (sq wise) to go about doing it but i really love strong midbass and it has been something i have been lacking for quite some time now.
