General Audio

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 know its a long shot but im gonna ask anyways, is there anybody on here in socal that has a termlab. i'd be willing to bring you out some beers or pay you for your time. let me know, thanks!!

Everyone has their own way of doing stuff and I'm sure you guys all have some little tricks you use whether it be for installing, building, tuning, etc. Would be kinda cool just to see what everyone does. I'll start....when something is rattling but I can't tell from where, I plug my nose and keep my mouth shut, then I try to exhale. It cuts out all of the bass and you can clearly hear things rattling. The same thing happens when you plug your nose while you sneeze, or if you yawn.

Im in need of help on decision making... I just finished my wall in my car heres the details 2001 cavalier 2 dc xl 15's 8.4 cubes after dis. going to be tuned right around 36 hertz thats were i need help before i cut the holes for subs and port i need some opinions on which setup to do one sub behind each headrest and port in the middle of subs, above the subs, or below the subs.. also maybe putting one behind passenger headrest one in the middle and the port at drivers headrest which is personally the one ive heard is the best for TL numbers any opinions are helpful thanks in advance

dont bash this idea to hard but id like to hear some thoughts on it. alittle info: dad drives a 03 f150 and his equipment right now is a Panasonic hu, polk db 5.25" coax upfront and a cheapy clarion sub (4ohm svc) in a box behind the center console in the backseat and a 2 channel amp that is bridged to the sub. amp is a walmart sony xplod... so we're talking maybe 150x2 @ 4 ohms (probably less). my idea: make him a tri way crossover... (really i just want to mess around to see if it works) so, if i understand the idea, i would set the amp to full range and design a passive xover for the speakers. so the sub would be bridged to 4 ohms and a lpf will be used @ ~70hz and …

Okay well i got into car audio about 6 months ago. I recently purchased 2 Diamond D1 12's, a 2 farad 2000 watt capacitor, and Memphis pr 100.2. I have all of the above installed in the back of my girlfriends explorer because im getting all new stuff for my car in December, this was kind of a test type install. I installed everything myself. I have a chitty box that they are sitting in right now. Just getting into car audio, i wasn't sure what to look for when buying a box. I just bought one that would hold the 2 twelves, turns out the box wasn't even caulked all the way around, its sealed by the way. I recaulked the whole thing and it sounds better now. Okay now that th…

Hey guys, just bought a 2007 altima sedan, fully loaded. It has the bose system with the navigation in it. The speakers sound good, but its a little lacking on the low notes. Questions.... 1. Is it possible to wire in a sub to the stock system? 2. Does anyone here make a box similar to http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_stealthbox_detail.php?fit_id=1620 ( they dont sell just the enclosure ) 3. Looking at a 10" icon, fi q, or lethal injection. 4. Main goal is a clean looking trunk without taking out the spare. Been looking for a while, but havnt been able to find anybody doing boxes like this. Any opinions/help is greatly appreciated.

Looks pretty damn good! http://xtant.com/Products.aspx

I am building a box for 2 SA-12's for the trunk of my altima. I want to have a square port between the 2 subs on the front of the box, looking somewhat like this: O | O sub port sub Using 3/4" MDF and outside dimensions, my box's height can only have ~ a height of 16.5", a width of 33", and a depth of 16.5" (however, the depth can be altered a good bit if needed) I need to know what dimensions to make the port and the dimensions of the box itself if anyone could help. Thanks.

K FIRST OFF I FEEL STUPID its one with the 2 prongs coming off do i need to solder those on there and if so what would be the best solder to use i think i got 60 40 or do i need special fitting almost got my door speakers in and done just need some advice on this also i ran out of aluminum wire so i ran copper to two of them i dont think that will hurt will it

I hope this isnt a stupid question but here it goes... I have watched a good amount of videos on clipping a signal and what to look for on a o-scope (square waves). I was just thinking what if the producer makes the waves square in production? I know a lot of dubstep artists do this. I do listen to it on my system and some djs / artists do make good low bass. Just wondering if this will just amplify the clipping of the already square signal made in production and damage my system (like clipping any other signal). <- go to about 1:40 to about 2:04 to see what I mean. He will show the signal...examples: <-- bass is WAY squared off in this songhttp://www.youtube.…

How do you estimate an items worth when you don't have anything to compare it to? I don't know what it cost new back then; I don't really know what it would have been worth when i got it (kinda a gift/trade type deal). I can't find any "red apples to red apples" comparisons (ebay, etc...); so I don't know what I could sell it for. Any ideas? It's a old Q-Logic box... ...with two oldschool 10-inch RF Punch's (not sure of the version or impedence). I used that setup in a certain vehicle because I don't drive it that much (in winter, I hardly drive it); and, I needed room to but more stuff in it (tool bag, cleaning accessories kit, "junk drawer" bag, spar parts, and other …

About 20 Min. ago i was reading a topic that someone had posted. I had to turn off the computer but i wanted to save the topic so that i could read it later. I Clicked the "watch topic" button and i thought i would be able to go under my profile and look at the watched topics or something like that but im not able to find anything that has that. Is there anyway for me to see the topics that i am watching? If not the topic was about howa guy called a local car audio shop to mess around with them and see what they really knew about car audio. And when he stated that he was running 3000 Watts RMS he said his lights were dimming. What could he do about that The Car audio deal…

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 (…

So I have now went through 2 sets of Focal components. First went one of my tweets, so I replaced both (upgraded to newer version). then went one of my door woofers several weeks later(again replaced them and upgraded to a newer version as well as newer crossovers.) So now im going to start a anti-focal epidemic in my car. I currently have an alpine fully ipod deck the IDA-X001 or something. (the first version) and am running a Alpine PDX 300.2 with a Rockford Fosgate 360.1 sound processor. What do you recommend for the next set? and Any suggestion or is it just bad luck with focal? The leads keep burning off and you can smell them so idk if I need something a bit beafier…

Putting out some feelers for shops in West Texas that do honest, quality work. Specifically, rear seat entertainment. Primarily in Lubbock, but Amarillo would work too. Failing that, Abilene? DFW? Austin? San Antonio?

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.

found this, maybe you guys might want to buy direct or something http://stores.ebay.com/PHOENIX-GOLD-DIRECT :yoji:
