http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/subwoofers/jackHammer24sq.cfm Maybe this one will be used more appropriately. In the pimp my ride where they installed the original jackhammer, a 22" woofer on 8500w only hit 130dB.

For 1/0AWG or even 4AWG terminals.. Of this style: I'll use a screw and put in in the crease and squeeze in a bench-vise then rotate 90* and squeeze again. Usually have to do it a few times each way to get it secure, but even then I don't feel too confident of it's pull strength. There's gotta be a better/faster way.

anyone ever order from this place? http://www.mobilesoundworks.com any bad experiences?

so yesterday i had to move my car so my dads ol lady could get her car out, so i parked in the street so i wasnt blocked in when she got back. so i'd say an hour or so later my dad comes in my room told me to go check my car cuz 2 banger lookin mexicans had a cd case, and they started power walking when he walked outside. so i grab the pistol and keys and run out there, my stereo was halfway out the dash(impossible to get the stereo out with the car in park), stereo face is off in the floor, shits pilferred thru. so i take off chasin em' cuz they had just made it around the corner at this point. the younger pudgy one didnt fuck with the car and bout pissed himself when h…

So I had made a topic on this b4 I think but I just received my Sundown Audio SAE 1200d from Fedex and I was all happy and so on, Till I started opening it and I see on the bottom of the Sundown packaging that it is made in CHINA !!! Not really a big fan of CHINA products due to so many problems in the past so hopefully nothing will go wrong with my amp!

Does anyone have the price for the 18" SMD subs and the name of the options if any? If there are options I would like to know the price of the sub fully loaded and shipped please thanks

I purchased an AQ2200D from Audioque on 3/1/11. I received it on 5/3/11, which is o.k. because they told me there was a wait when I ordered (well, after I ordered. They said I could either get my money back or just wait; I chose to wait). When the time came to put the amp in the truck, it didn't work. No, it wasn't set to slave We called AQ and tried all troubleshooting options to no avail. Just to be sure wiring was correct, we threw my brother's Hifonics Brutus in place of the 2200D and it worked perfectly. This told me there was, in fact, a problem with the amp. So I did the logical thing and shipped it back to AQ, expecting to get my amp repaired or be sent a new one…

So here is the scoop. 02 Silverado with older Pio Premier, H701, C701, Sundown 100.4, Sundown 1000D, big 3 with all 1/0 (pos to alt, neg to frame, neg to cab). Had some trouble with some tweets blowing (Link to that thread) and narrowed it down to the Sundown amp. Quote from previously linked thread below Had it sent to db-r they sent it back after they replaced some things. This is what db-r said... So I got it back and during the re-install I installed a Alpine W505, added a HU ground to metal in the truck. For the amp ground I ran a bolt through my cab with 1/0 on one side to the distro and 2 2gauge strands on the other side (had it so I used it). The 2 gauge str…

Let your vote be heard. Im planning a West Coast meet late June or early July. Location will be in the Los Angeles County area. (Location will be the Saugus Speedway if I can secure it, although that would mean charging an attendance fee. Most likely it would be held at my home, which is located in Santa Clarita, CA, 5 mins away from Six Flags Magic Mountain)

Hey guys, I just finished installing a new system in my 08 Infiniti G37 Coupe, and it sounds great. I will upload some pics later, but I installed a cleansweep, a Sundown 100.2, a Sundown 1500d, phoenix gold rsd components in the front, and an RE SE 10. The RE 10 sounds good, but I know that the 1500 can do alot more than it is currently doing, and I would like to get a new 10 inch that would take 1000-1500 @ one ohm. I listen to mostly rock music, but I really listen to everything. I am not looking for huge numbers, but I do like alot of bass. I know it is a tall order to get a 10 incher to pressurize well, especially in a trunk. As far as box size, I can probably …

The situation: Getting my 12" BTL this weekend.. The amplifier I have currently is going to have my sub screaming for .. I'm wanting to feed it at least 2k rms. The question: Assuming I have the electrical to run 3000 watts at a stable voltage, would it be and audible difference from 2000 watts just on a daily setup? This is not for numbers at all. Simply for listening experience. I've heard answers coming from both ends.. I don't want to spend an extra 100-200$ on another 1kw if it's not going to be any louder to MY ear than 2000 watts. For those who must know the amp I have now, it's a Lanzar MAXP1200d. There are NO available RMS ratings for this amp online that I…

Does the aq750 have rca? My headunit is cde122 and has rca on the back Not sure about all of this. Thanks

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've posted here. I've been driving and enjoying the stereo in my truck for awhile, and now I wanted to make a couple of changes and I was looking for some advice and/or guidance in doing so. The current situation... I have a Ram pickup which currently consists of the following: Stock Uconnect head unit -> JL cleansweep -> front channels Audio Control DQT -> Alpine PDX-F6 CH1&2 150x4 -> ID XS-65 Components (using the XS x-over and tweeter. The 6.5 has been replaced with an Eminence Alpha after blowing the XS6" mid) . Rear channels go from clean sweep to PDX-F6 ch 3&4 -> ID CTX69 6x9's. …

this is in a ford king ranch

There's new goodys on the market Fi 2009 BLs and SSA XCON. Which one should i get first?

http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/danleyport.asp?ID=33 The most powerful semi-mobile subwoofer in the world. Can create tones of 94db from a 15-20hz sine wave, up to 250 meters (820ft) away. Can play 15hz tone at 140db 24hours a day 7 days a week without electricity due to a generator it has inside. 40 15" subwoofers and 40,000 watts self generated power.. Pretty impressive. I found it pretty interesting.. Anyone heard of this company/ subwoofer room?

Should have both of my 15" Xcons this week and I also bought two of there hand made boxes.(nice stuff) When I mount the subs in the new boxes should I drill a small pilot holes first? Cant wait to mount all in my boat pics to follow. Thank you Skydog P.S. SSA has been there every step of the way too! TY

I just picked up a 86 oldsmobile cutlass. (should be delivered to my house on sunday may 18) I would like to use the amps I have laying around to save money- they are Phoenix gold Tantrum 250.2 and a Phoenix gold Tantrum 400.4 I listen to everything from rock to rap ,classical, country you name it I listen to it. I was thinking of a 2 way active front stage plus infinite baffle sub stage. I think going with a hu that is 2 way compatible would be my best bet ( suggestions ) under $200?? Ideas for the front speakers under $150 (from what I can see kickpanel limited - 8" max 4.5" depth midbass/midrange -tweeter?) run off 400.4 tantrum 50 x 4 @ 4 ohm 100 x 4 @ 2ohm substag…

Hi, I am planning a budget build in my 2003 Mazda Protege ES. I am new to AudioQue but I am smitten. I love their straight forward, no BS approach. And I love thier prices. I am very interested in the AQ1200D to push an HDC3-15. Now my delima is building a box. I have always gone prefab in the past so I have no experience. I figure I have about 30 to 35Wx16Hx17D to work with in my trunk. I need to be able to take the box in and out as needed. I want to step my game up and get away from mainstream prefab electronics store propaganda. If you know what I mean. I just really want to do my first true quality build. AQ states thier 15's call for 4.5 with sub displacement and po…

i was talkin to a buddy of mine the other day and he was braggin on his system in one of his rides and i asked him what he was runnin and he proudly says" i had a pyramid 2400w amp then i traded up for a audiobahn 800w and i think i gained a bunch of deebees". well i am not one to laugh out loud in a guys face cause he was so happy with his stuff, but i couldn't help but think wow his stuff sucks! lol i aint no competitor or nothin but pyramid?! audiobahn? and it wasnt the hc audiobahn either so i know it sucks. and i went to a car show not too long ago and this guy in this riceburner has PA stuff and his woofers were mismatched one 12 PA and some other woofer might as we…

I have 2 18s in seperate enclosures. I was told by some others that my ports where to small on my boxes. I had them tuned to about 31hz..so I made them bigger. Should be around 36-37 according to Torres..at the same time I bought a used DD z1 amp and hooked it all back up. Its sounds like shit..wont hit lows for shit. Do you think I tuned to high, or did I get a bad amp? Wtf

I have a planet audio ac400.1d mono block amp and want a subwoofer around 1000 watts rms that's not to expensive .. I found an audiopipe txx bd3 12 for $147 and also saw a Massive Audio toro x 12 for $185.. Don't kno which one to get .. Should I just get the audiopipe or save a little more money up for the massive toro x 12?

thought i would finally upload some pics... so here it is the first dual alt cobalt. The alt is currently out of the car thou because i decided to get a chrome pulley instead of the gold pulley... im also waiting on getting a gm stage 2 performance package to get a smaller supercharger pulley to get the belt to fit.

Well a "new to me" car and it is a 2006 Infiniti m35. I did not want the damn 14 piece bose system but I found a low millege m35 for a good price and it has it. I haven't listened to it yet (I won't be receiving it for another week or two) but I am assuming the worst from my past experiences with other bose equipment. How much of a pain in the ass would it be to install a head unit in the glove box or center console and maintain the factory dash and steering wheel controls. I really don't want to mess with the dash as it has a 6 disc changer in it and is beautiful as it is. I'm at the point where I may just add a sub if the sound isn't terrible, I can't find anyone who re…

SO today I finished up adding the HC800 to the rear of my car... I have an issue... Before I did this work my system consisted of a JL 500/1 and BA GT2-125 and a 2 farad capacitor.. Knowing that it wasn't really helping I had been planning since late last year to remove it and either put a battery or just go straight to the amps through the distro block... So... I removed the capacitor yesterday and finished off the wiring today.... I now have a static/whine/ somewhat gets more defined and higher in pitch when going from idle to actually driving.. It does not increase with music volume which is good but it is there when paused or playing or even 0 volume so I know it wasn…
