Do you guys think that a 200a Idle and 260a Max( Ohio Gen) will be enough for 2x USAmps MD-3D and 2x USAmps MD21? and for batteries 1x Power Master D5100R in the front and 2x Power Master D3100 in the back, that's the biggest Ohio can make in the GM Large case CS-144 Alt. so what do you guys think, will it be enough? Thanks.

Which would be the better route to go to power a 15" fully loaded Fi BTL, 2 powerbass ASA 1500.1Dx amps (i already have one) or one Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D? does anyone know if powerbass actually puts out rated power? i heard that the brutus is under rated

Hi everyone! since my bax is built, it looks kinda naked. I don't want to do the standard carpeting and was thinking about trying something different. I thought about using a roll-on bed liner. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Any pros or cons? Thanks

Hey I'm doin a build for a guy. He wants a fiberglass console. I am trying to see what materials I am going to need. (mdf, resin, and fleece.) Is that all? Also when I build the box do I just bulid the skeleton, stretch the fleece over it, and paint on the resin? I've bbuilt several boxes but never done much fiberglass so all info is appreciated.

Well I am slowly trying to improve the sound in my 2001 bmw 325i and I think I know the answer but I'm not completely sure. Currently I only have one amp which is powering my subs and then there is the factory amp thats connected to all the factory locations. Since my battery is in the trunk I have a big fuse holder about 1ft away from the battery then it runs to the amp. Today I should be getting some of those PG rds components and when I finally by some sound deadening I will be installing a 4ch amp to run those speakers. In the past I used a fused distribution block as well as the single fuse holder by the battery, but this was in a camry. I was wondering if I wo…

First of all this is the equipment ill be talking about. Rockford Fosgate 800.2 old school (the amp that is blowing fuses) Pyle Driver Plad413 (4 channel) Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 (DVC, 4ohm) ok I wired my subs up for the 2 channel amp like it says to do here, http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2DVC_4-ohm_2ch.jpg but that amp kept blowing fuses so in the meantime I am using the pyle 4 channel I bought to drive my regular speakers until the fosgate gets fixed. When i wired in the pyle I left the subs wired for a 2 channel amp but hooked them up to the amp like this http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learning…

just lucked out and hopped on craigslist this afternoon and managed to happen upon a sweet deal for 2 SSA DCON 15s in a 7 cubes sealed box so I finally have ssa subs now all I need is a financial aid refund to get everything else and decide if im keeping one sub and selling everything else or keeping both and just redoing the box since it wont fit right in the jeep these things are so much nicer up close then in pictures lol the build quality looks awesome I just cant wait to hear them too bad it might be a few months

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

I have 4 American Bass 15's dual 2 ohm. Which one should I buy today? They cost about the same.

Been reading lots of sketchy reviews about these lately. American company takes over and then quality goes down? Heard from a mechanic that if you buy these from autozone they are significantly different than from manufacturer

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

Found a tiny little website for anyone up here in Ontario, Canada. It seems really helpful, almost every local competition is posted up and will be really helpful for people starting to get into the competition scene. Check it out! The forum itself is still very small but very useful aswell! http://www.ontariobasssociety.com

I have an iPhone 11 and using Apple Music and Spotify free Trial and in streaming over Bluetooth HU is an older pioneer probably 4 years old . Non CarPlay . The music doesn’t sound as full to me , am I crazy or is there an actual difference? I hate the thought of having to plug my phone in every time so I haven’t even tried the phone wired.. but when I swap back to music on my usb stick omg sounds so much cleaner.

Could someone check and make sure this is right for me?: 39.5 x 21x 20.25 box (outer dimensions, i'm using .75" mdf) 4.5 x 19.5 port (10.57 in. diameter, if you need it) 24 inch port length i got just a little below 33 hz. I just don't want to find out it's wrong after i make the cuts and all. Thanks a lot

After a year of research I uncovered and compiled an interesting story from within the loudspeaker industry. You can download my manuscript here, ************* Feel free to distribute this file.

Does anyone know if there are any stereo comp's coming up in NE PA? Does anyone live in or near NE PA have a meter? Been a long time since I had my truck metered, I and thinking of re-doing my entire system and would like to get a before and after. Thanks Chad

He's such full of it, lol He's preeching to my class about how people these days do things wrong, such as. It is just as efficient to run one battery, and a crap load of alternators would be more sufficient then to have more batterys and 2-3 bigger alts. Probably true, but then he's talking how you can't be supplying your amps with just battery's of the amount of power it's rated to do, saying that they'll die within seconds, we all know it could happen, but cmonnn.

So...what do you think the best one sub and amp would be (also have pro. box built)

i was skimming through ICIX, even though i can't post, and saw your post about the SI Mag, did you get banned yet? LOL....thats funny they brought that thing off topic really fast. And someone needs to tell Haibane to not be lazy and call SI for pricing cause I think he saw the 519$ price and went cheap.

The new TV has 2 built in speakers. One speaker makes a weird crackle sound with any bass. It sounds as it a plastic bead is being vibrated and the plastic bead is bouncing. Like that type of a crackle noise. Main issue is that the left speaker makes the crackle noise and the right speaker sounds fine. Im assuming i should just try to exchange the TV to fix the issue, since i just bought it? I could hookup external speakers, but I would still like the TV speakers to work and not have to worry about them. Anything else i can do to check whats causing the issue or maybe i can fix it? but i dont think so, sadly :[ Thanks!

I decided to give my mom a very short preview of my 2 mojo 15's on my saz3000d. This is not the best reaction video because she has heard many of my previous setups. However, it is funny every time. The cheap camera does not capture the cleanness of the bass. It just sounds like truck rattle. Anyways enjoy.

im very new to car audio. my problem lies with when my volume of the HU is all the way to zero and i go to my subs there is a faint noise its hard to explain well it's kinda like a hum or a buzz but very quite i tried the ground loop fix by grounding my rca's to the HU and that helped a bit since the noise was louder before and that got rid of it then i found a better bolt for my amp ground so it was more secure and that did not help. so idk what could be the problem. my setup with the problem HU: pioner DEH x3500ui subwoofer: one kenwood kfc w3013ps other sub is unknown i was told from the seller it was an older kenwood but im thinking it is a home thearter subwoofer. …

Hello all. I just finished up my fiberglass box today. I am posting a link to my gallery at ED's galleries. Can someone tell me how to post pics in the thread so I don't have to link to it. This box is about 1.8 or so cubic feet. I measured volume with packing peanuts. So it is not exact. Now I have to move onto my amp rack and then my doors. This fiberglassing thing aint too bad. kinda fun once you figure it out. Anywho, here is the link. Please let me know what you think and any comments. Thanks, Jim http://www.edesignaudio.com/gallery/showga...t=500&ppuser=52
