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.

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

Anyone have a tl near minot, north dakota?

I have some pretty good pieces of car audio for sale and I really need some money for college so that's why there for sale. This is what's available; Fi Q 15 w/BP power: $225 each Cadence DCA-2500: $400 Boston Pro 50s: $150 Alpine PDX 2.150: $150 I have two of the Fi Qs and only one of all the other items. If you want all of them, I'll sell it all for $1000 plus shipping but I'll throw in power wire, 6 channel patch cable, and distribution block. All that is worth about $200 and it's what was used for this system so you know you'll have everything to get it running. I lost pics and the gear is stored right now so if you interested and require pictuers let me know and I'…

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.

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!

Does anyone know if the liquid sound deadeners that you roll on work as good as the mats.

anyone know where to get metered in the Manhattan, KS area? and where any nearby upcoming comps are?

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…

Heres a review of the unit. They also have a group buy at caraudio.com going for it. I read the whole thread and I seem impressed. I downloaded the plugin for windows media player and I like the way it sounds on my headphones. I don't know if I would buy the unit, but maybe in the future if more people have good results. However, it looks very promising. I am gonna copy the text here because it is hard to read at ECA. http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/showthread....threadid=109732 Okay so here it is. I feel i've tested the unit for long enough to get a good feel of what its capable of. First off i just want to say i have no connection to Waves (the maker of maxxbass) and i D…

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

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.

Hey guys, I have friend who is just about to get a car (Acura TL, the older model, like 2004 maybe) and wants to put a system in it. He has about $1K to spend after setting aside some for wiring/installation of the electronics and some for MDF for the sub enclosure. He already has some JBL components for the front stage (not sure the model, but 70 watts RMS), so thats taken care of and I don't think he really cares about rear stage. So that makes $1000 for: Head Unit- ??? any ideas? Mid/High amp- Rockford Fosgate P400-2, Sundown SAX-125.2, Sundown SAX-50.4, others??? Sub Amp- Sundown SAZ-1000D, others? I figure thats probably a good amount of power to start him out with S…

so im getting a brand new rf power hx2 15 thats been sitting since it was bought because the guy bought 2 of them years ago and only used one. i also found a hifonics bxi2010 bnib never been hooked up for $180....i want the hifonics but the guy with the sub has a power acoustik bamf 5500 which should i get? and im thinkin of taking my backseat out and walling between the cab and trunk. now the question about that is should i go sealed or ported? im looking more towards spl then sq any advice will be very appreciated. im taking my time putting this setup in so its done right and not just thrown together like my last one

ill be fg'ing some a pillar pods as well as sealing large (roughly 2' by 1.5') holes the 2 fronts doors. the A pillar pods are for one 3" fullrange driver (on each side). im looking for a good site or store to buy the amount of products i will need to complete these projects? later ill be posting question on how to do the fiberglass since this will be my first time.. i have a rough idea of how to do it but im sure ill run into problems... so im just just looking for some rough figures on how much shit i need to buy to get this done, as well as, a cheap retailer. thanks

Can anyone direct me to a power converter that goes from 110v to 12vdc?

im looking at buying ether a fi ssd 15 fully loaded or a fi q 15 stock. i want to get output but still have clean bass. i know the q is more of a SQ sub but i have not heard much about ssd's

So I'm building a box for my BTL this next weekend. I've ordered two 3/4"x9"x18" sheets of plexiglass, and two of these 3w high powered wide angle LEDs on an aluminum base. They'll be going inside the box, and you'll be able to see the badass backside of the BTL while its playing. They're the same ones Steve Meade used in the 2x T15K Escalade build, so I know they're going to be super bright. Here is Plasma LEDs site if anyone is interested. My question, I've heard people talk about before a control module that you could get that you could plug into your RCAs to make your LEDs flash to the beat. Does anyone know where I can find one? I've searched and come up with nothin…

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)

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

I have a paper to write for an Economy class (Pure Compitition, Pure Monopoly, Monpolistic Compitition and Oligopoly). Basically need an article that supply and demand and shows what happens to profit and make graphs, and the teacher said to choose a topic I like. So, it would be awesome if there's some article showing JL, SI, Kicker or whatever showing more profit because of an introduction of a new sub, or anything audio related. So, what's a good site that shows audio sales?

I have been thinking of different designs. Is there any issues with mounting a subwoofer in the inside port wall facing the port? I know the velocity from the port would be directed across the face of the sub, would this cause cancellation? Or would it depend on volume of the port? Any input is appreciated. Chad

Hey boys - I'm planning out a new system for my 03 F-150 Harley Davidson. The only 2 things set in stone are the JL Stealthbox - 12w3v3-4 which should take about 400watts rms. And the H/U (for now) is a Alpine 9886. I have the H/U but need to buy the JL - anybody have a good place to buy JL at less than retail? I'd like to run DLS UP6i speakers up front with a Sundown 125.2. They recommend 150watts RMS so I don't know if the Sundown will be sufficient for it. Thoughts? Do I need a seperate amp for the tweeters? For the sub I need something solid 400watts rms. Maybe the 125.2 bridged? What would be good rear fill? Only experienced info on this question please!

when doing a system in a trunk whats the best way to get the sound intko the cabin so its not stuck just in the trunk?can you make a cut out in the rear deck?

The stereo i currently own is an Audiophase model CD188. I opened it up today to get back a screw for my glasses that fell in through the cd tray, and while i was looking around i found three knobs on the main circuit board; little small metal cube with a circle cutout on top, with a colored knob inset inside. Being as curious as i am, i was about to start messing with them but thought i'd ask what they could do, before i blow something up. Note: i googled the model number and brand and only got two results. One is blue, one is orange, and one is yellow. i cant the friggin usb cord for the camera so no pics for now.
