Bought a BTL 18. area in the trunk is tight for now... I would really like my Sub and port facing up. but if that isnt possible or not good then i will settle fot the sub facing up and the port wherever it must be. i plan to use 1" think wood i guess (not sure if thats good enough or what kind to even get) so my dimensions for the box will have to be D: 25" H: 19" W: 27" i subtracted the inch of wood from this and comes to obviosly D: 24" H: 18" W: 26" I entered this into a volume calculator on some website and it told me that this was 6.5 cubic feet. My question is, is this correct? and if not what is the true cubic feet of these... im pretty good at math but i couldn…

I'm sure this will sound very juvenile to pretty much everyone on this board, but after doing some research on the topic and not finding what i was looking for, I found this site and thought i could get the answers i'm looking for and it would be a bit more clear as to what i'm trying to do. I have, in my boat, 4 5.25" sony speakers (1xx watt peak \ 40 wall rms) attatched to a sony HU (52x4). my problem is that it's just not loud enough while i'm driving at cruising speeds. i want to add an amp and possibly 2 more speakers. i was thinking about getting a 4 channel amp. can i use the 4 ch amp to power all 6 if the amp is capable? or should i just buy a small 400 watt amp (…

I have one question only, dont hate just answer I am deciding between the BL 12 and the Icon 12, I know these subs are made for somewhat different applications but jus bare with me. Both these subs are put in ported boxes made specifically to standars and hooked up to a saz-1000d. Which one is audibly louder?

Jim Thiel of THIEL Audio was one of the pioneers of American hi-fi, and one of its biggest names, ranking up there with Henry Kloss and Paul Klipsch. Jim co-founded THIEL in Lexington, KY in 1976, and was instrumental in the development of time and phase accurate designs with the use of sloped baffles, coaxial driver mounting, and phase coherent crossover networks.

I will not try to spam the forum by registering and trying to sell my junk.

The speaker wire with a negative and a positive. The gold and the silver. When I go to wire my sub for 2ohms which part of the speaker wire to do I run from negative to positive? I'm sure its a simple answer I'm just retarted.

I have 1 crescendo 5500 @ 1 ohm on 2 18 sp4s box is 6.5 cub per 18 with 170 inch of square port! 18s are fully loaded. Pioneer deh80prs,4 rockford fosgate 5 1/4 and us 600 pushing them. 320 mech. Alt. 1 xs 3100 up front and 2 3400 in back of honda odyssey van. All 0 gauge cable. Never has it metered, but want more for comp. My question is this what about 1 more 18 with a wall and have amp wired to 1/2 ohm ( for comp) with some dynamat, or two more 18s? Either way will be just the one 5500 cresendo running subs. And how much diffrence do you think would be either way?

34 hz or so was fine in my trunk.... but as soon as i put the same crap in my SUV... NONE of the same song play as well... and ALL of the song that sounded like shit sound great now... in an SUV... so im thinking.. should i be tuned lower for an SUV?? 28hz or so?

Looking for someone with 1200+ RMS @ 4 ohm willing to spare a day and test the SoundSplinter RL-s with me.

Ok, call me retarted. Good news : The jl w7 8's sound amazing, can't wait for the sundown amp to really give them what they need. It's all installed and the sealed box sounds greaT! Bad News : I had to run RCA cables outside the car to test my setup. I can't figure out how to take off the dash to wire my rca's. The remote wire was already in the car which made it easy to do. The car - 1992 Bmw 318i Sedan 4 door. Any ideas? I searched and took off all visible screws but no budge, am I missing something?

Could one of you guys rockin Trailblazer please provide me with the Maximum Width, Length & Height (to the top of the seat) of the cargo area? Any help would be great. Thanks

Ive got an ssa xocn 15d2 run off of a sundown saz1500d. It was working fine for about a month and then all of a sudden it stopped playing, I turned my truck on one day and nothing. Then about a few days later it started playing this weird static and soon was working fine again. But as of 3 days ago its not working and playing the static again. Ive replaced the rcs and the headunit and its still not working. I have no idia what to do now any ideas??? Here's a vid of the sound its making .

welp today i am shopping for a secondary batteryfor the Celica build i am doing, and wanted to go with a HC1200 but stumbled upon powermaster d1200. Are these compareable? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Power...spagenameZWD1V would like to pick up the powermaster over the Kinetik if this is the case any help would be appreciated as im not familiar with the powermaster lineup and have always just purchased kinetik. It4s time to try something new though and if this should work comparatively then id love to give it a whirl just looking for a delieable secondary unit for the rear of the vehicle off a sundown 1500d and 100.4

I've owned my car for over 10 years, and went through 3 alpine head units, and went from a pair of JL 12W6v1s to a single SI Mag and from a 600W Crossfire amp to a 880W Massive amp. I've always had a problem when I play bass heavy songs where the song would "skip" (actually, it stops playing for a split second) when the volume's at 16 (The gains were set by ear at 15 and I would never hear distortion with the gain knob 3/4 around. And I always turn it back to less then 1/2, because my ears can tell if it was distorting). I always thought it was the amp going into protect, but I just realized that the whole song skips and not just the bass. I'm thinking if the sub amp …

If you had 3 exterior 6" aeroports would it effect them in a negative way to have them entering near the coners of the box or at the lower part? Or is it better to have them in the middle? Thanks, Brock

Looking to put some in my brother's car, since he's taking my AA 18" off my hands. He's on a budget, but I read a bit about these http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=11417 Can anyone give me some advice, or refer me to something good for a comparable price. They will be going on a JL http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps.php?amp_id=438 The sub is already on a JL 1000/1. I'm doing my car full Sundown but we already had these amps.

So i will be doing my first install sometime this week. I dont know how to set the amp levels (i will be looking on what fits my needs) so in the meantime im posting this. I listen to mainly electronic (trance, techno, dub) and metal. So i want my mids to hit nice. And maybe some lows.

The head unit I bought says its only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen compatible, does this my 4th gen wont work or its just the manufacturer has not added he 4th gen to there list? I dont see why it wouldnt work, its the pioneer 4300 dvd navigation unit, please let me know what you think and if I have to return it and get a 3rd gen version, thank you
