Been having a hard time locking in a sub stage. Was all set on the AQ HDC312 D2 to run off a MB Quart DSC2000.1D, when I decided that it was not going to be enough. They are great subs that get loud, don't get me wrong. I would recomend them in a heartbeat, but I just don't think I will get what I'm looking for out of them. I am going for a daily ground pounder that gets low, but can still get loud. I believe I have finally found it. Incriminator Audio Death Penalty 12D2 MB Quart DSC2000.1D 2.9^3 Net @ 31Hz This is it! Got everything I am looking for. Killer lows, but still gets loud, and sounds good doing it! You will be glad to know there will be no more this…

So I moved into my dorms for college today, I figured I should check out the town and look for any audio shops. I found one that used to carry RE products, but now mainly KIcker and Memphis it looks like. Anyway, I looked around the shop and found an RE 12 RE series, and a Coustic 321qe. I managed to get both of them for 230, Both BNIB. Anybody, think I got ripped off or was this a great find? Also, the gain knob of the front channel seems to be stuck, any ways to fix this?

I've been looking at posts lately of people putting 8's in there doors and have noticed that pretty much everyone seems to glass the door panel and mount the speaker to the door panel. Can the door panel be made strong enough to handle 200W of 8" midbass pounding away and not really leak around its edges?

where is all the x-con set -ups. i see alot of ppl getting these so where are the pic's??????????????

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,…

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

Bought a router last week for work. router im not 100% clear on the compatibility of this jig. Think it will work?

So i Just bought a 2000 chev silverado 4x4 extended cab (out of 7 vehicles my first domestic and first truck) Where do you guys mount the amps mostly? behind the seats? below them? If anyone has pics of install that would be great Previous Builds as I have never posted here my mr2 frunk setup integra trunk setup

i found my design thanks anyways

ive had a bunch of prefabed boxes and now i want to build my own box, its for a 18 inch fi btl. i have a friend making me a design sheet so all i really am looking for here is some tips to a first time bulider, or advice to help me out. anything at all you think will help me out please let me know. thanks

Alrite so i got the measurements for the box that I am going to be building for my 2 18" Fi BL's they are 38.5" wide, 22" tall and 31" long. The port size will be 13.5in wide and 12in deep and 9in tall tuned to 35hz. Do you guys think those are good measurements ?

ok so can someone give me a good explaination on all this in lamens turns or for dummies type examples haha, always wondered what this means because i know its a big part in picking subwoofers. * D1 / D2 * FS: 34.1 / 33.6 * DCR: .7/coil / 1.4/coil * QMS: 6.65 / 6.74 * QES: 0.27 / 0.27 * QTS: 0.29 / 0.29 * MMS: 266 / 274 * SD: 810 / 810 * VAS: 67 / 67 * SPL: 93.2 / 93 * BL: 17.74 / 25.2 * XMAX: 29 / 29 * POWER: 2250w RMS Specs for the zcon FYI

i have a 97 expedition and i have a 18'' btl fully loaded dual 2ohm that i will be running between 2.5k to 3k on,and i was wondering what kind of electrical upgrade you guys would recommend?

I am wanting to deadin my jimmy, and was wandering what some good brands were and how much I will need....

Alright well to start, I'm an experienced music producer/recording engineer. I'm starting to incorporate my music into my car audio hobby. I've been making a few bass tracks to test out and demo with in my car. My question: What's a good program to use to find peak frequencies in a song? I'm going to start finding this out in my bass songs and posting them up here on the forum for people to use and test out. Also, I'd like some feedback, and maybe videos of people using them.

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?

Hey guys, I would love to get into competing one day, and I have a question for you audio ethusiats. I have a few old "spare" vehicles around my house.... 2 trucks,and a van. One is single cab other is extended. Not my question is, which would you chose to work on. The van, or one of the trucks with a blowthrough. I would be interesed in which you think would have the most potential.. Thankx Probably SQ class... Maybe some SPL Comp... I dunno yet. Thx Josh P.S. could someone give me the pro's and cons of each in their on opinions "IF" you have done this before.

Mods I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this so if not please move to the proper local...... I've recently teamed up with Arkansas Car Stereo here in Little Rock and we're looking to add a few good installers to the team, so if you've got the skills and take pride in your work then we definitely want to talk to you. You can stop by any Tue-Fri between 9-5 and ask for Mack Thompson, Jack Todd or myself Rick Holmes or you can submit your resume to Mack at [email protected] Thanks...Rick

Do power acoustic amps do rated power?

I already have google sketchup and i'm wondering if there are any other softwares to design a box on?

Hey guys I have a little project I need help with. I recently purchased a new head unit with a monitor, replacing my old Pioneer 4000UB with iPod control. The new unit only has RCA Aux-In and does not offer iPod integration. What I am trying to accomplish is have my iPod play audio output through the sound system (two amps - one for mids/highs and one for subs) independent of the head unit, so I can play videos/movies on the head unit while still having the option to listen to a different track than what's being outputted from the movie... if that makes sense. It would be an easy solution to plug the iPod directly to the Aux-In of the head unit but then the screens would…
