General Audio

I was adding some Second Skin Audio Damplifier I bought to the rear wall of my cab and was wondering if I should/can put some Damplifier over the vents?, There is a bunch of road noise coming from those vents (1 Behing Passener & 1 Behind Driver Seat).

Iv looked at home depot for 6" pvc tubing and i could only find 4"... i need 2 6" ports in my new box and its not very easy to find this tubing... i was hoping it would be cheap... but idkk now that it seems i can only buy 10' sections...

I just ordered a Fosgate T20001BD, 2 Fi Q 12's w/ Bp Power option, I have a JL 450/4 which will power a set of 6.5" Focal Utopias and a set of 6.5" Focal Polyglass. As of now I have the stock alternator (2006 RSX) which is small..not sure exactly what it is. I have a regular batt in the front which has 2 4gauge wires runnin to the back. There's a 100amp fuse on each 4 gauge. These two 4 gauges run to a Optima Yellow Top in the back the car. This is where the two amps will be. Does the wiring seem sufficient for what will be in the car? And the fuses?...I may need to get a high output alt. for the car kuz of dimming...

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 ?

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

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!

Yes, i can get my player loose and everything, but it won't actually come out unless i take this stupid dash board brown thing out, and this is as far as i have gotten. Not sure if i was suppose to pull up the transmission trim, but whatever:

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 rec\ently seen a pic of a pioneer hear unit with a batt. voltage readout on the display, does anyone know what models these are?

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 …

how long does it take to send??

Hi there, curious about connecting a mono amp / 2x10" subwoofer setup. My subwoofer setup is pretty cheap, I know, but I just wanna make sure I do it right. The subs are Pioneer TS-W251R 10" 4 Ohm: Output Power (4 Ohm, <=1% THD) 60 Watts x 2 Output Power (4 Ohm Bridged, <=1% THD) 150 Watts x 1 Output Power (2 Ohm, <=1% THD) 75 Watts x 2 The amp is Infinity Reference 1300a: 200 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (300 watts RMS at 2 ohms) So obviously, I have two pairs of subwoofer terminals in the back of my enclosure, and I have two pairs of terminals on the amp itself. Should I just plug subwoofer 1 into speaker terminal 1 on the amp, and subwoofer 2 into terminal 2 on the…

Okay, just brainstorming here... Say I had two D1 subs. I could series wire the coils on each to 2 ohms, then parallel subs to 1 ohm. Or... I could parallel coils to .5 ohms, then series to 1 ohm. But... Could I wire one set of coils in parallel, to .5 ohms, and the other set of coils to 2 ohms, then wire them in series for... .4 ohms? Or is it not good to use different subs...

I just bought the Pioneer DEH-P6000UB and i love it but... wut should the low pass frequency be set up at as well at the hpf? i want a sound system that gets the best outta my mids, highs and bass

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?

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

ok so im thinking a ssd or bl 15 in my trunk but idk if i have the room. can some one tell me how much cubic feet i have to work with in my trunk? height = 17 depth=22 width=42

So im plannin on building a wall in my crown vic soon. i have a DC Power 270Xp plannin on putting 5 batts in the back 2 18" fully loaded Fi Sp4s and going to buy a crescendo 5500 along with knuconceptz Wire. will wire subs down to 1ohm together also have 4 crescendo 8" mid range speakers for the doors plannin on a few 6.5s as well super tweets planing to deaden all over using murder mat. Now onto the wall i will be sending max dimensions to BHE soon and get a wall design i am going to be aiming for about 7 if possible 8 cuft per sub tuned to 33hz also was lookin to go for 15 16 on the port vol. sorry if this is a little sloppy im on my phone ill post some pics of stuff …

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've searched and searched and havent found anything. Im looking for a box designer program that helps you desgin 3d pictures of you box> thank you for looking!

okay so im looking into adding a 4 ch amp. i currently have 1 run of 1/0 to my back amp right now. i'd like to split that into one 1/0 and 8 gauge to my 4 ch. ive looked around and im a bit confused as to what to get. whats a decently priced block that can split my 1/0 off to a 1/0 and 8 gauge wire.

I need someone to do a kerf port for me. Or help me do it. Thanks, Mikey

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 have an 880prs running active to a soundmagus 90.4 (soon to be Sundown SAX-100.4) , running CDT M6 mids in the doors and peerless tweeters in the sail panel. I am currently looking to get rid of both the mids and tweeters and upgrade.The doors are fully deadned and sealed w/ cascade deadner and reflex pads. Just looking for some help as to which way i should go with the about 200 i have to spend. The tweeter I need to stay within 1" and mid I can go 7" at most. thanks for any help nate
