Walked out to my truck this afternoon (about 20 minutes ago) to find everything missing except my CD player. ill get pics and more info as soon as the cops leave. this happened right infront of my house beetween 6am and 6pm today.

2002 NBS Chevy Silverado Budget Active SQ System installation: Since I just bought a newer truck, I thought I would share some of the build up with the site. First, I had to define my goals. Being a second car, but one that will get driven a lot installing a system was a necessity to me. Also being that I log lots of hours on the road when I do drive, driver comfort and some extra entertainment was required. In my car, I listen to satellite radio for talk and sports coverage I just wish the fidelity for music was better, but primarily I listen to CD

I kinda want an Optima Yellow Top and new wiring...any other ideas? less than 200ish big ones. IM really bored.

An interesting thing happened in my system recently. I

Alright, today i went out to my Jeep Cherokee to upgrade my big3. The battery ground was simple, then i was about to do the battery to alt. Problem, there are 2 wires going out of the alt. and both go into the same loom(i think thats what they are called). Then I just start to look for the chasis ground point and i can not find it at all. So I am stuck, I am about to just say screw it. I know there are 1 or 2 guys on here who have a Jeep Cherokee, if they could help me out here, or if anyone has done work on Jeep Cherokee's to help me out. Thanks.

So today I had a buddy of mine helping with the BIG 3 in my truck. He accidentally hit the positive termninal of the battery with a grounded ratchet. When I Asked if he had disconnected the power wire for the amps he said no. I checked the inline fuse and the fuses at the distro block.... all was good so I hoped for the best. When we finished up and turned on the truck... nothing. After much testing I have determined the 2 USA-50 to possibly be toast but the USA-200 seems to still be good. So unhooked the amps, hooked up the 200 and still no power. When I test the power wires and grounds at the amp i am getting something like ~3 volts WTF. On a side note one USA-50 seems …

well one of my buddys is wanting a good cheap and lightweight SQ set-up in his Z3-----so here is what I have in mind-----thanks goes to Partsexpress.com http://img450.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s40100150rq.jpg http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s40100169po.jpg http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s40100179jc.jpg

Just purchased all for under 400$ canadian 2 12" M12D 1 ASA600.2 How do u guys think these will sound in a built to speck 1.75^3/per chamber box. I know u all will probably say i shoulda went with the extreme line, but that wasnt an option. How do u guys think those subs will perform with that amp?

Ok, i know i post alot and havnt not posted pics, or posted saying ive purchased things... Cus my plan changes alot, depending on whats going on, the market effects my choices. I thought i would post another overview of the system and some explaination as to the reason for the parts and also point out areas where i have made choices but am open to different ideas... So here goes... (Setup) Alpine IVA-w20, Alpine H701, Apple Ipod 30gig I have the W200 already its sitting in my room, as well as the ipod (which i might return to help jumpstart the rest of this) Im purchasing the H701 becuase its an amazing processor and is fully touchscreen configurable through the w200. +31…

help.

Just wondering does anyone else use the following gear Phoenix Gold amps ? Clarion source units ? Boston acoustics components / subs ? Blade audio processors ?

This is what I have - Clarion DVD head unit with a 7 inch flip out monitor , 2x Kicker CVX 12 inch Dual 4 ohm (750rms) each wired to 1 ohm in a sealed box , Orion 2400D mono channel amp wired @ 1200 watts rms 1 ohm , Memphis M-class 4 channel 75 rms x 4 , Memphis 6x9 in the rear 85 rms each , Eclipse 5.25 inch 3 way components in the front . Optima red top under the hood , Optima yellow top in the trunk , and a Kinetics cap-killer equivelent to 100 1:farad caps . My Qeustion is - How do you determine what frequency to set the mono amp up to for my subs to perform there best ? I can set it anywhere from 20 hz and up .

I'm thinking about buying an RLP 15" for my home audio needs. I've always wanted to try SS audio and just haven't gotten around to it but what better way then HT! My question is how much power does this thing need to sound good in an HT setup? I read from a different thread that anywhere from 2.0^3's to 4.0^3's tuned from 17hz to 20hz will be best so within that range of box specs, how much power will it need?

Asset sale puts frustrating close to Phoenix Gold saga The Portland Business Journal - by Aliza EarnshawBusiness Journal staff writer Struggling audio equipment maker Phoenix Gold International Inc. has found a buyer, but some long-suffering shareholders stand to be wiped out. Phoenix Gold managers told investors at last week's annual meeting that the company plans to sell its assets for not much more than its estimated liquidation value. Those attending the meeting were not told who is buying Phoenix Gold, only that the buyers are not current company managers. The proposed deal could put an end to Phoenix Gold's often tumultuous history as a public company. The once-pr…

Well, I got my L3's today and installed them in the kicks. I will give a very small review today on them and explain some stuff about them. They are 3in drivers with a good frequency range from 150hz to 10khz. Wide range and small driver that can do IB. I have mine sealed in a kick panel. Right now i've done a sine sweep on it from 20-20khz. The driver was hooked to a CDT SATNet 480 crossover so it only played to about 5khz or so. Driver didn't like anything below 120hz not saying it won't play it but it wasn't liking it from some of the sounds. It really excelled in the 800-4khz range which it really liked which means instruments and vocals are nice and clear. Mixed rea…

$24.44 @ Walmart Cheap; but, functional.

Well, after having way to many options to choose from I finally just went out and bought a receiver for my home audio setup. Pics here! I like it so far, spent about 30 minutes with it so I haven't done to much. Did the auto EQ (cause it comes with a mic) and it sounds pretty good. It's got T/A, and abunch of stuff that I don't think I"ll use but it's nice to have. BTW those are klipsch hersey's if you are wondering . Enjoy. -chev

Im trying to build my own sub. Im wondering where i can get a basket and softparts. If anyone has any im interested
