A 2005 Nissan Sentra...I'm looking to do mid 140s with duel 12s or single 15. Spending limit is around 2500

I'm leaving today to help a friend with his install. We're going to be soldering a bunch of 1/0 knu cca to the ring terminals. I noticed im out of the solder I used to have and I completely forgot what I had. Real simple. What kind of solder will be best for what I'm doing?

Helllllllllloooooo !!!!!!!!!!!! I am very happy to announce that i am going to In Car Entertainment (ICE) up my car for the first time So i need some suggestions. I have a budget of 530 us dollars for rear fills + front components. Type of Music i listen to :- Psychedelic trance, Rap, RnB, Hip-Hop, Rock, Jazz, Club and Indian. I am not looking for analytical sound but toe-tapping without loosing on details,instrument separation, bass extension etc. Thanks

I just bought a 2011 Mazda 3 sedan and already bought a Pioneer avh-3200bt along with everything that it needs to get hooked up (I hope), haha guess i'll find out when I hook it up. Now I am looking for speakers. My last system had two 6.5" Polk Audio DB651s, and two Infiniti reference 9623i 6x9's which were just powered by the HU and they sounded good to me, but now I want to get speakers that will get very loud and stay crisp. I already have a 12" RD Alpha V.2 sub which will be powered @ 1500rms so bass isn't a concern with the speakers. I know there is lots of different reviews on speakers so I am hoping that I can get some opinions from people off of here that can hel…

k heres the deal, im ordering the dayton 1000w plate amp off partsexpress.com, and i dont know what sub to run it with...its for rap music only, some people have told me to get the dayton titanic mkIII of partsexpress.com, but im just wondering if there is any other subs out there for around that price range(196+shipping) that will be louder, or better SQ or w/e...my budget on the sub is 200(give or take a few for shipping) so really about 250 MAX...but still throw out suggestions reguardless... if i can get 2 subs for that price, ill do that, if not, 1 15" i would suppose...anything that can handle 1000w rms for long periods of time(not hours but sometimes ill listen to …

I currently have a optima and stinger zero gauge I was running 3 jl 12w3v3 but sold them I'am now intrested in the Fi's what would be the best 15 for my powerbass asa2000

O.k. i have a 4.25cft box net volume tune@35hz, with 49 Square inches of port. It used to have Ed 19ov.2 in it , but now i want to upgrade . Deciding between three subs Fi bl 18", Audioque Hdc3 18" or Pap WMD 18. The amp i'm using is eD Nine.1. So which sub would work best?

I have been waiting for quite some time to finally arrive at the point on what setup I will be using. I was considering 3 IA DP21's or 4 Jbl W15Gti. The amp I am using will be the stetsom 7KD. If I were to go with the DP's it would be in a 24-26cube enclosure at 28hz. The Jbl's would be in a 20cube enclosure at 28hz. I cannot find a DP t/s parameters to factor into the equation. I at least wanted to use the DP15 subwoofer to compare in WinIsd Pro. What do you guys think? If anyone has any t/s parameters on the DP's let me know.

ive been lookin at getting 2 12" kicker CVX subs with a kicker zx1500.1, or 1 15" maybe 18" Fi BL with a kicker zx1500.1 which set up will most likly be louder when put in proper box??

Ok, here is my dilemma. I currently have a ford ranger. Later this year I will be pickin up a chevy silverado (4 door). my wife has given me a choice with the two. I could either do a fiberglass lid on the Silverado and do a blowthrough with, perhaps 3 15" BTL's or a can put a camper shell on the ranger and build a wall with something like 2 18" BTLs. The Silverado will be my daily driver, so I think she is wanting me to do the system in that and makin the ranger for nothing but haulin stuff. I was curious as to what you guys would do. I am in a split decision between the two and am hopin your opinions could help me make a better decision. THANX

hey guys. i am in need of a voltmeter for my car. the car doesnt come with one from the factory. and i would like to add one. i dont want the typical stinger one or a round one. but i am looking for something small. oh and i dont want to have to order it off ebay as i have had too many bad experiences with ebay. thanks

so heres the deal. 2 SSAicon 12's . 2 Phoenix Gold V1502's. i'm not 100% sure but it seems like a 1.5 (i think) 2 12 sealed box. the amount of power the SSA's are amazing. anyways so i have a 98 malibu (folding back seats) right now i have the subs facing the back. i'm sick of having the box sliding around and afraid of damage so i'm going to put some L brackets to brace it. but first should i have the subs facing the back or should they be facing the front?

$30 brand new. Hell, I couldn't imagine even finding a plate amp this cheap. I got the whole thing for a fraction of the plate amp. Guess I'll have to set fire to the old CPU subbox, and plug the driver into the 240 plug.

Hey guys I'm saving up for the BTL 15" setup as I stated before in a different topic.. I'm running into quite a few money issues and the process is sadly being delayed for me which really sucks for now I just have 2 12" kicker CVR's doing around a weak 115 in a sealed box.. I heard MANY great things about ported boxes and want to try to build one but I'm just 17 and never done this before and I figure now is a great time to learn. I went to www.homedepot.com to try and find some 3/4th" MDF wood as someone on here told me to do but was unable to find any as far as the -online site- goes. I know building another sealed box is easy just 4 panels and 2 12" holes in one very …

I have a whine sound i my front speakers, sorta like an alternator whine . It get a little louder with motor rpms. But here is the odd thing, it only does it when car is really hot and when i take it out of garage and its hot. If its night time or cool outside and car has been seting outside no noise. Any ideas on what it could be? oh and its only two of the four channels on the amp making noise.

Hello guys, Need you advice on my automotive audio issue. I had changed by setup to Zed LEVIATHAN III from Helix and the current speaker are from Seas. So far, i like my current setup compared to the previous which used Morel. However I had encountered whining sound from my tweeter whenever i on my HU or the system. The whining sound was constant. There was no increase in the whinning sound when i increase the accerlator. I encountered this whinning sound after installing Zed LEVIATHAN III. I would like to know if LEVIATHAN user encounter this problem too? I had read through about the write-up about the noises from the speaker. I had done the followings: 1…

Could you guys please help me,trying to stock up on whip audio.Does anybody know where and how to locate the company?

My old Uberwoofer has really seen better days. There is tear in the surround, dents in the cone, oh and it survived a high temp garage fire as well as subsequent water immersion. Last I knew (circa 2005), RE among others were willing to do one off woofer rebuilds... I haven't followed CA very much at all in the last couple of years, but anyone have recommendations on rebuilding this old girl? SQ biased... SPL is for noobs -Nick

So I saw this while I was trying to add knowledge to my little brain and was curious as to how to figure how much power is going to each voice coil.. who can help me out??

My girlfriend just got a 2010 Elantra and I'm going to setup a 600 - 700 watt system for her with 2 DC Level 2 10s ported. I'm going to either get her the Batcap 800 or Kinetic KHC800.

I'll be there with three vehicles. Who all's going and where are you coming from?

Well I'm listening to my music loud last night and noticed my lights seems to be dimming quite heavily, more than I recall. Then after playing music for about 10 minutes my sub cuts out then comes back on and cuts out. So I turn the sub off. I figured maybe a tinsel lead failed because I didn't smell any burned voice coil scent. Then I start to think. Man that sub was expensive how could it break like that on me? I'm only feeding it 900 watts rms. I thought you could power this sub into the 1kw range. Then I start thinking about how much shipping will cost to send it back to stereo integrity. Today after school I decide to check the sub. I hook it up to a shelf…
