General Audio

Whats the difference between those 2 terms?

I built the box that my current sub is in now, which it looks decent and sounds good. I have a 12" SSA Icon in it, I believe its a 2.3 cu. @ 33hz. For me to build the enclosure it costed me around $90 with all the materials. I have an 12" RD Alpha V.2 and an extra SSA Icon just sitting in my basement. Which is why I decided to build or have a box build for two 12" Icons and then put my RD Alpha in the box that I currently have. Here is my question. I found an ad to a guy who builds enclosures that is an hour away (one way). He posted this link http://www.ksl.com/?...20&lpid== It shows some of his designs and from his designs it leads me to believe that he knows what h…

not getting my car back for another week, someone hit me and its in the shop. Now all I can do is watch my 13w7 sit, (just bought it for a deal!). I guess il just plan for some other things!

I saw lots of songs on a list here but I noticed that there were no songs from the Southern hemisphere. I know of many songs like Reggeaton that have awesome rythm and bass. I uploaded one to one of my websites. Take a peek and let me know what you think. Listen until the bass kicks in. Thanks. music

I can't help but notice that manufacturer are still using paper cone subwoofers, while other companies are using aulumium, carbon, poly cones etc. etc. What is the purpose for having paper around? You would think having paper in the automotive enviroment would be a bad idea, considering things like moist/ Uv rays. For example most factory speakers found in cars are paper,over a period of time they become dry-rotted or cracked, in other words wheather beaten.

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. …

I have a Soundstream TRX 4.420,it puts out 70 watts rms x 4 channels @ 4 ohms, and 105 watts rms @2 ohms.------I have 2 sets of infinity's that run at 2 ohms,1 set of 6x9s rated at 105watts rms, and 1 set of 5 1/4 componets rated @ 75 watts rms. If I added 2 more sets and wired them together ass if it was 4 seperate dual voice coil subs in series each on there own channel would each speaker get 70 watts? or would each speaker get 35 watts? or would my amp burn up, even though it can run a 2 ohm load from running 8 speakers 2 for each channel? is this possible----------------Question #2 If this is a bad idea, and I probally will not do this anyway I was just wondering If t…

Hey guys, I'm really new to car stereo and need some help. I need all the wire, fuses and distro's for my install. I have a couple sundown amps, the 100.4 and the 1000d. For speakers I have a set of components and an Fi Q sub. I'm also looking to upgrade the big three and add a 2nd battery. What do I need to complete the install? I'm looking to purchase this stuff from knukoncepts. Thanks in advance for the help guys. p.s. The install is in a bmw so the stock batt is already in the trunk.

I am doing an engine conversion, and the altenator on the engine is rated at 50 amps. I am looking into a 100-150 amp altenator, yellow or red top, and the big 3. I am running 1000wrms.

At what frequency does a tone go from unidirectional to omnidirectional? Im considering doing a wall build. I could fit 2 -12" or possibly 4-10" midbass pa speakers behind the seats to use strictly for midbass to keep up with the subs and the 4 pairs of 6.5's I have in my front doors. I know this isnt the best way (sq wise) to go about doing it but i really love strong midbass and it has been something i have been lacking for quite some time now.

hey, I need some advice on how to mount the sub and amp, so it doesn't slide around. I have a Fi Q12, memphis 16-PRD 1000.1 amp, and a 2007 honda accord V6 EX-L

SIIIIIIIKE lol. I made this in my InDesign class (one of my throwaway classes to fill my schedule up)and I think it actually turned out decent. DON'T HATE on the Meade picture, I needed a face-offy picture and that one was perfect. Just thought I'd throw this up here since it has SSA references on it. It's supposed to be folded up like a DVD/Blu-ray cover before anyone asks about the random title in the middle of it.

so i finally manned up and decided to wall my s10. im doing two 15inch aa mayhems. i am having shizzzon design my box and i will build it. im posting this to ask for tip and tricks to doing a wall from anyone that has done one. Any input is apretiated.

Basically just want to have an idea of how loud should I be able to get with this setup. 1 Fi BTL 18 Fully-equipped @ 1ohm 1 Sundown 3500D @ 1ohm Big 3 1 XS D3100 battery (under the hood, main one) Alpine 9887 HU Maybe 225amp alternator Zero gauge everywhere.

Hi I'm relatively new too the car audio world and I have been patrolling this forum for some time now trying too gain more knowledge. Basically I'm stuck trying too decide on what subwoofer I'm going too choose based off space in my car. It's A 2008 Scion Xb I Wanna Keep The Rear Seats Dimensions Are 38x38x16 Im Not Bias On Any Brands And Open Too Any Sizes Just Wanna Get As Loud As Possible And As Low As Possible. I Already Have Mechman Alt Installed 0 Gauge Ran Big 3 Done And Yellow Top Under The Hood And A Hifonics BRZ2400. Budget Is About $1,000 For Subs. Thanks For The Help

Okay. The box is 4 cubes @ 31-32 Hz for an Fi Q15. The box is strangely shaped because a spare tire is going to be standing up vertically behind the box to the right of the port. This was my plan. I was going to add 2 more vertical 2x4's to the right and left of the sub hole. The baffle, port, and vertical brace are NOT permanent yet. They haven't been attached yet. That's what's permanent. I was told the back wave is going to be fed directly into the port and that usually doesn't work well. Should I change my port? Anything else?

a guy is selling two kicker l7 each woofer is 4ohm can i run those on the saz1500 and get full power?

Hi, Just advising that Acoustic-Visions is closing down in about 2 weeks. Sent a message to Kyle regarding a subwoofer. And he told me that he was closing down. So I believe it is accurate. Might be starting a new company... who knows. Kelvin

Hi guys, I am interested in building a floating amp rack, but I'm not sure quite how to do it. Any info would be helpful, especially links with pics or even vids. I have a concept of what I want it to look like but not sure how to hide the wires. Thanks for anything you guys can throw at me!

what epoxy, glue, resin, etc. do you guys use to set plexiglass and mdf together?
