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

ok basicly im after the best subs for daily use (usually 30minute driving) and i was wondering how much it cost to ship btl 15's hopefully 2.. and what amp would you use to run them both? (if it matters i have a holden vt unless ur aussie u have no idea) anybody here from Australia and can help me out any on how to pay, how much shiping is and all that other stuff lol

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.

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…

ok so im running a interstate 625 right now cause my yellowtop crapped out on me for the second time and wont be available for another month cause i think the ones for the honda/acura had a defect with the cells...anways is there anyother batteries that i could get that would be better then that intersate that i have now??.....the space i have to work with for now is 9in length and 5in wide.....or maybe i should just see about that 130amp alternator that i was looking at instead of the 70amp one i have now...hmmmm??

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

I am planning on purchasing an Audioque HDC3 18", and I'm knowing I'm going to need to do some electrical upgrading. I currently own a 2005 civic coupe, but plan on later moving this to a dodge magnum. After my last install I learned the hard way to not be into so much of a rush and take care of some electrical upgrades first. What supplies is needed for " THE BIG THREE" and I would prefer to start off with buying batteries before I have to go all out for the alternator, knowing of course I will also need new wiring. Which brands should I be looking into as far as wiring and other needs. I believe the HDC3 18" is pretty efficient , don't want to go overpower it too too…

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.

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?

I cant find one to save my life. Ive sanded and sanded and cant find a place. Anyone know any tricks?

Sub is coming in today, really stoked. Bought a box, had it made to the smaller Icon 15" dimensions provided by SSA, but it was too big. Now according to the measurements I made, I thought the box was fitting.... wrong. It was a little off, and that made a big difference. Now I'm getting another box made for the IA Lethal Injection 15" and would like to know of anybody who has had experience with the Charger. If anyone has had a box in their Charger, how big was it? Any kind of help would be sick, I would make a mock box but I'm short on time and have no cardboard at the moment.

Does anyone happen to know where the stock amp in a 96 explorer. I'm in a bit rush, customer screw'd ish up thanks

love this forum

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…

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

Hey guys recently i've got my new equipments which consist of US Amps/RE Audio 2x US Amps MD21 2x US Amps MD-3D 4x RE 6.5Comp Set 4x RE SX 12" Dual 4ohms As for electrical I'm planning a 250 or 300a Ohio Gen and for Batteries 1x Power Master D5100R under the hood and 2x Power Master D3100 in the back close the the amps.( the amps and batts will be at each side of the trunk) Now I was wonder which would be the best way to wired the amps and the batteries, plan A or B? plan A. first i was thinking to put each MD-3D on each Power Master D3100 and 2x 1/0 awg wire for each battery (from front to the back), and the two MD-21 hooked up to the front battery (the Power Master D5…

I have the MB PVF 213's in kick panels, and want to install these in my door. It says to run wires through the 213's first then out to the 164's. Each has it's own cross over so why would you do this? I'm running them off a RF T600-4 4 channel amp. I thought you would just run the 213's off front channel , then run rear channel to the 164's and you would be good. Then set my cross over's on my RF 3sixty.2 to HP on front , get it were I want it at, then set the BP on rear where I want it at and it would be good to go. What am I missing? What would be good settings for the cross over points to start with? Thanks

Hey guys, I was originally thinking I was going to go with 2 FI Q 10" or Icons, but moneys tight as many of you would agree. So ive decided 1 FI BL 15" would be better, going to be running off a SAE 1200. 1 thing im wondering is if I would have enough enclosure for the sub. I ran some numbers and I can get 15h X 32w X 12d without sacrificing much of my trunk which i think turns out to be around 3.4 ft. What im wondering is if that would be enough space, or if I should get a little more like 3.5 after displacement and port. Could someone also explain to me about the significance of port area. Im guessing the larger port the louder? Or the more air moves?

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

I am trying to get me an enclosure for two 12" Icons, However I would like to put a few small changes to the box to make it look a little better than the "average box", but I need a little help. How do you Flare your port? If I put a plexiglass window on top, would that affect the sound at all, and how do you put a plexiglass window on a box without breaking the plexiglass? What type of paint is the best to use on MDF, for the flared port? Would it be better to have the rectangular port, round port, or will it not really make a difference? And where is the cheapest place to buy carpeting? Cheapest I found locally was $7 a foot. Also depending on price I might even be inte…

Is there anyone on here that I can pm about getting a box design done?

I'm in need of an active hu. Rather wanting an eclipse 7100. Alpine 9887 and eclipse 7200 are also rather nice. Anyone have any goodies laying around? I'm aware theres a classifieds, but I can't post in it until I have 25 posts on this forum. I'm not about to be a post count whore to make a post.
