General Audio

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

do u use to hook the amp up to the sub? can somebody show me a link or something to where i can buy it? and is this amp kit good? and would i need two of them since im hookin up 2 amps to two diff batteries? http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-PK0 if so what inline fuse should i get and what fuse block? im gonna be running 2 aq HDC3 12's on 2 aq2200d amps.

When i want to show off my stuff im always afraid of blowing my subs. I was wondering if there is a formula or something that you guys use to make sure you know where the subs limit is? If i dial in my gains to where the amp is not sending clipped signals when the head unit is all the way up, does this mean that i can turn the head unit up as much as i want and not have to worry? I have an Audioque HDC312 "1000 RMS" sub Audioque AQ1200D all wired at 1 ohm

How do i calculate sub and port displacement? I want to know exactly how much room I have for subs

I'm planning out a box for my 8" Orphan driver. Using 3/4" mdf, outer dimensions are 12x12x15, driver displacement is approximately .15 ft3, and I am thinking of using a 2x9 inch flared aeroport to bring the box specs to 0.69 ft3 @ ~34 hz. Is this an adequate port? Or am i missing something? I'm pretty new to round ports, as I have built only slot ports. Any help is appreciated.

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.

hey everyone. i got a set of x-overs and was wondering if u can help with the settings. when i take the cap off there is a wire that goes to eather "A" or "B" plug. there is also another wire that can go to low, med, can't remeber the third one, and loud. what are all these for. thanks for your help guys.

I am going to be installing a factory batter in the trunk. I have three choices for Tray's. I'm not really sure what the difference is or which one I should get. I'm assuming more Amp hours is better. After looking at this stuff I'm actually thinking It might come with a battery? may not be size related. I need some direction. 61 AMP HOUR $40.46 95 AMP HOUR $38.76 72 AMP HOUR $38.76

Alright well im going to be getting 2 18" FI BTL's reconed(The older version) and was wondering what kinds of new options I can get like diff dustcap or diff tinsels stuff like.....that Id want carbon fiber if posssible and also what are the prices on diff options...any tips on packing for shipping?

My FI BTL15 is on its way and right now im working on getting the money for a high output alternator...locally a guy can make me a 120 Amp Alt. Is a 120 Amp alt enough to power the 15" Btl????...im going to be running a Hifonics BRZ 2100 at 1 ohm probably round 1900-2000watts steadily....im an everyday banger so its gunna be seeing a lot of work I have a Kinetik HC1400 as my main battery and a HC2000 in the trunk (Upgraded Big 3 to 0AWG)

First, i feel like an idiot for having to ask this. But my 10 gauge klear kable from knukonceptz is confusing me a little bit. It's not one wire, but two runs that are kinda stuck together. I dont know if i'm describing it well, but i'm hoping everyone else but me knows what i'm talking about lol. One strand is a square like shape, and the strand connected to it is circular in shape. I thought maybe i was supposed to strip off both, so i did that and then twisted them together to fit in the terminal (fi bl), but no cigar. Can someone please help me? Thanks, i really do feel dumb for this lol, Mitch

i just finished downgrading my system in preparation to sell my car and i just wanted to check and make sure i had everything setup correctly i am running an older pioneer hu, planet audio 6.5" torq speakers in the doors and rear deck, an eclipse 10" single 4-ohm subwoofer, and an american pro bass machine 800w 4-ch amplifier i am running the amp in 3-ch mode with the pa speakers running in parallel, then in series, i wanted to verify i did this correctly. i ran the left front and rear speakers with a positive from one and a negative from the other hooked together, same with the right front and rear. then i hooked the remaining positives together and the remaining negativ…

What is this plastic thing on the port called and where can i get one? Or do i have to make it or some chit? LINK

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...

Yes i putting the finishing touches on my system thanks to all of the ssa members my question is this will a eq do any good for my system or is it just a waste of money i need the pros and cons. Also my final question is the pros and cons of not having any rear deck speakers i was to by some members to get rid of them which i did i can tell the difference but is that the right move. Thanks for all of your help and support and lets countuine to help and support each other

Any suggestions on a quality RTA at a reasonable price?

where are some good website to buy 0 gauge power/ ground wire.. knukonceptz is still out of stock.... anybody got some suggestions?

I have a friend that I am helping and recently built a killer ported box for. He has a 98 F150 regular cab. The box is 2.3cuft and tuned to 33hz with the sub forward port to drivers side. He has a Memphis PR 12 d4 that is decent I guess but his biggest problem is the Sony Xplode 1000 watt amp. "POS" running it. I have it wired to 2 ohms and it dont like it, gets hot after only one or two songs, etc. Wired at 8 ohms it just doesnt power the sub enough. Last night I installed a set of Massive Audio VK6 6.5 components that was a huge improvement over the stock speakers lol. They are running off the head unit and sound fine. Even trying to advice him not to, he went to a lo…

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?

Is anyone willing to do a box design for me.... I have all the materials. I am just not able to design boxes myself..... thinking of using aero ports as well.

Can anyone tell about these zeuz 10in speaker what are they voice or sub.. please help.

I just wanted to announce that after a whole lotta pming, www.alteraudiousa.com now sells the USamps I/S line through me. There are also special discount codes that you enter when you order comps/coaxes to get 25% off the bundle. i hope this relation ship is a long and advantageous one! again thanks a lot upstage!

Since I got back into car audio I have stayed away from the so called "Mainstream" brands when it came to my amplifiers and subwoofers. What sold me on the smaller companies was the customer service and the ability to talk to the owner/owners either through the forums, email or direct phone call. I think we all know what forum all these great companies are a part of.... :bigclap: What are the horror stories you have had with companies with poor customer service?

I'm running an eclipse 7100 in an active setup. It annoys the chit out of me that amongst all these expensive hu's every one of them is a compromise. My 7100 is great, but the ipod interface and the track display leave alot to be desired. Before I went active I wandered into a local shop hoping to have a look at the display on a 7200 to determine how big a deal the sun washout is. They didn't have one and when he called his guy on it and asked about it he did a double take and made sure it wasn't a touch screen($$$). This is a niche market and all, but for the $ I'd figure they'd be able to get it right. Without spending F1 money is there any touch screens on the market t…

of course i have 2 8ohm speakers that are less then 150 watts... and i need to run them 4 ohm stereo on the amp, i remember seeing somthing befor that you run inline to propose a ohm load to the amp, so im guessing i will need, two 4 ohm dummy loads,=4 ohm at the amp, or two 6 ohm dummy loads =2 ohms at the amp i can run this amp at 4 ohm stereo or 2 ohm stereo,. i have seen a few things on parts express... but not too sure what exacty i need... so someone that has used these be for would be great! thanks
