i need a good fuse block because mine sucks terribly any suggestions?

how long does it take to send??

Installed a 10" IDQv3 and JL 500/1 for a friend last week in 2008 G37, signal was provided from Scosche LOC connected to rear speaker leads, then 2 pairs or RCA's run to the front to a PAC Level control, 1 in, 1 out. At first we used the crappy JL signal sensing to turn it on, and after he would shut the car off especially when closing the door, he would get the loud feedback from the subwoofer, almost like it was just playing a test tone. I went and bypassed the LOC for him using a 3 foot rca, and hooked up the REM to a switched power lead on the car hoping that would help. While it isn't doing it when he shuts the door now, it's doing it sometimes when he changes songs …

I have 5.38 cubes after displacements other than port. My tuning is 32hz. I have an 8'' port going 12.75'' in the box, 12.75'' is my limit because I want 8'' of clearance from the bottom of port to bottom of box. Anyways, I have 12.75'' in and I have 7.8'' out of the box for a total of about 20.6'' of port. The port inside the box takes up .38 cubes so that leaves me with 5^3 inside the box after displacements. I think I have too much port length on the outside of the box, but I can still cut the port down. Any idea on what it should be?

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

hey guys a friend of mine just bought a 2008 silverado flatbed and he want to put three or four 15's in there...he wanted to know will he have to do a blow through or not

does anybody know the rms on the 15inch l7 kicker 2005 model

Ok sooo I bought some led strips from autozone and I was wondering how I could make them flash to the bass in my car.....thanks

the pic below shows the ipod but is there a wire or connector that allows the zune to be connected to the head unit? http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=5082

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

Ok, my dumb ass can't figure this out. I have a pair of dual 4 ohm 12's. If I wire each sub in series to make 8 ohms then wire the 2 subs together to get 4 ohms, would that mean a pair of strapped 1500d's will see 2 ohms each? Thanks for any input!

Hi, iv'e seen something very strange for the first time. Iv'e installed by sound from old car to new. A 2000w sub on a 2500w amp. 1 x hi to low convertor and speakers still run of factory radio. Amp mounted on rear seat. When the volume is all the way up and the trunk is open every thing seems fine. But when the trunk is closed and the volume turned softer until 0, the sub keeps on pounding, very loudly. But if the 1500w amp is tested, everything is normal. Could this be because of the hi to low convertor or because the speakers are still running on factory radio?

would the saz3500 be to little power for 2 fully loade fibtl 15 inch woofers?I know the saz4500 would be better but by the time im ready to purchase the price is gonna jump..

I was going to rebuild the mazda, but have decided i should do something with my burban that just is sitting in my backyard...I'm up for any ideas you all think.. Like i have stated in my other post i have 6 type r 12's collecting dust and i also have 2 mtx 7801d amps also not doing anything.... Here are some pics of the beast..

I saw a Alping IVA-W205 for $415 locally and It includes the wiring harness, Ipod cable,box,all manuals,DVD while you drive relay and two remotes. It was supposedly only used for a month. I have been looking at getting a new HU for my next setup when I get a new car and was wondering what you guys think of this double din touch screen or if I should just stick with a single din that would be cheaper? My goals are just to get good SQ from the HU and I want blue-tooth, so any other options would basically be a bonus. I will be doing the big 3, amping front stage speakers and then have a sub in the back.

ok so i have been using nero forever now and im just really getting tired of how slow and long it takes to burn a music video dvd. my dvd player can only play mpeg too. so my questioin is what is a good way to burn music video dvds. thanks.

So I want to get started on the wall for the dcons, but I realized I probably won't be able to replace panels in the rear with the wall in. So there is my quandary. My right rear quarter panel is rusted all the way through, it's painted over as a temporary cover up but it's still obvious. Should I postpone the wall for months and months for me to replace all the panels that need to be replaced? Or any other ideas? I've also thought about finding another bronco with a good body and doing the modifications I want to make it my style, but this truck as a lot of sentimental value so that would be hard for me.

How do you like those CV subs you are using, those fit nicely into the cheap 10 im looking to get for my friend. He has 130watts rms and a 1cuft sealed box.

hey i jus got 2 alpine type r's with a kicker zx1000 amp installed in my 2001 toyota avalon. I was just wondering how long it will take to break them in? Like i dont think i should blast them right away, but how long should i wait until i can use them to their full potential? thanks

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

Is it possible to send my SSA XCON dual 1 ohm in for a re-cone and have them reconfigure the sub so it is Dual 2 ohm?

Not too long ago, some of us went on a buying frenzy of some posted equipment by 'NEXT'. I was wondering if anyone who had bought amps or subs had any feedback on quality and sound? I bought a set of co-ax spkrs and a component set, and they sounded great. Just curious.. MattB

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

This is a newb question. Can I put an 8 inch sub with an amp in a 2002 VW Passat and still keep the factory deck? Friend doesnt want to change stock deck. Probably a stupid question but I wondered how difficult this would be to install if this was possible. Thanks

Looks to be a cool little unit. Appears you can, via a laptop, adjust power through out the passband to limit over excursion.
