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…

Setup - 1999 Ford Expedition 5.4L 2 x 15" MTX 9500 1ohm setup Crunch GP3000D Amp ----------- Electrical: Big 3 of course - 1/0 Gauge Stock Alternator - I JUST replaced this thing a month ago, previous alternator crapped out on me. Question: Will the D3100 battery (second) be enough to handle the electrical? I plan on getting an Optima Yellow up front. Worse case scenario, I can always just upgrade the alternator. But i'd rather not if I don't have to. I just want a good steady voltage. ----------- I was planning on going with 2 18 BTLs, but found a great deal for 2 15 9500s for only 500 total - so I'm going to jump on it. Any/all answers are appreciated. Thanks.

does anyone know of a good free digital rights protection removing software? it is a necessity at this point

can someone help me out and give me a port size for 2 18" btl'z the inside of the box demensions are 29" 3/4 tall 39" 3/4 wide 22" long tuned to 32 hertz can you let me know how many cubic ft. it is thanks.

scratch that. found an answer to my question

Best friend wants to upgrade his system on his 1999 Jeep Cherokee. $1000 Budget for front comps, subwoofer and box, big 3, door sound deadening, 2 channel, and mono amp. Currently has a headunit. Older alpine not exactly sure right now but i will find out. Not sure if it could run active and i know he wants to keep it simple. Loves House music and also listens to Rap and Rock. Currently he has 2 front and 2 rear alpine type s coaxials running off a headunit with a kenwood mono amp and an alpine type r - a real best buy type of system. So any pair of components off a 2 channel amp would be satisfying to him. I'm pretty sure we are going to have to keep it passive.…

i was skimming through ICIX, even though i can't post, and saw your post about the SI Mag, did you get banned yet? LOL....thats funny they brought that thing off topic really fast. And someone needs to tell Haibane to not be lazy and call SI for pricing cause I think he saw the 519$ price and went cheap.

im about to build a box since the pre fab one i bought sucks. the spec sheet that came with the sub says the enclosure's external dimensions are 12.5 x 14.5 x 17.25 so would it be 14.5 length 17.25 depth and 12.5 tall? the vent area says 11 in^2(11 x 1) does that mean its 11in tall and 1in wide? the port length says 22 so does that mean that the port would look like a L with a 1 inch space from the wall?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-kQNOLfC18 people claim in the comments of the video that it was banned from spl competitions and that it is the "loud as hell cd." anyone know anything of this.

I'm thinking about going with a 5.1 setup in the truck. The front channels will be 3-way active and I'm thinking Legatia 4s for the surround channels and the center channel. Amps for the surround would be OLD US amps USA-100 and a USA-25 bridged on the center channel. There's a nice pocket in the top center of the dash for the center channel and the rears will be in pods up near the ceiling. The HU I just ordered is 5.1 equipped (Kenwood Excelon DNX-8120) and the sourround will only be used on multichannel source material with just the fronts and subs on music. Thoughts?

I have been set on buying 2 12" icons but just saw the deal on the 10" xcons, should i buy those or the Icons?? I only have a 1500rms @ 1 ohm amp and stock electrical?? haha I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!?? NVM Had the Xcons in my cart but price went back up. Post can be deleted

if anyone wants to meet up our system is mobile. (doens't need to be plugged in lol) 30 bucks for a db test or 60 bucks for up to an hours worth of tuning.. please call, email, or text thanks... [email protected] or 570.877.1506

I still haven't learned a lot about tuning boxes, and normally pay someone to do it or use free box generators. I am likely going to have to build a box with the port extending outside of the box. Is this going to affect tuning? Say i need a 18" deep port in the box. If I just move it out, 14" inside and 4" outside, will this affect tuning?

Ok so im wondering if having the subwoofer pointing through the ski hatch and port somewhere elese in trunk is going to be louder or having the port go through the ski hole with the subs facing forward about 2" off of back seat?

Hey, I have been thinking of where to install my crossovers, I was wondering if they have to be near the front, or can I run them back to my amp rack? Josh

My HC 1800 came in today and I was lucky I ordered the side post attachments cause I'm using it as my atarter and system battery and found out it was too tall and was able to fit it in my battery tray on it's side. Damm that thing is heavy but it sure is the best battery I ever used. My system is louder with cleaner highs, tighter bass and a broader stereo image (not need for a cap now).also my RF T6004 was cool after a half an hour and my RF T6002 was a little warm wich is definatelty better than scalding hot with my stock battery. I was shocked with the performance of my engine (no more stumble on acceleration) now that it's not starved for power and best of all no dimm…

The wiring inside an enclosure from one sub to the other can be slack right? Will it produce any noise or move around when the subs are playing? Thanks

I am in Chicago for the GFs birthday and I was hoping to that maybe their would be some audio shops around here with a term lab. I havent had the new box on the mic yet and I don't really want to go shopping all day anybody round here or been here that might know??

Ok so after a couple months of research and asking questions on this forum ( Thank you to everyone who answered and gave me their honest opinion ) I have begun to build my system. No its not anything amazing but it is awesome to me lol. First I will list what I have planned and then I will ask my questions and ask for your feedback and advice. Thnx Vehicle - 2005 Jimmy 2door 4x4 Headunit- Pioneer DEH-80PRS (ordered) Speakers- Hertz HSK 165 6.5's 2way component up front. (unsure on install placement yet. Factory is door but thinking custom placement wedged between wind shield and dash facing driver/passenger) (purchasing at store I heard them at when headunit …

Alright I am trying to get my Compustar to work in my 09 Challenger. I have everything working but the remote start. I am using an XpressKit Chall interface, which made pretty much everything cake until now. I still need to hook up 2 starter wires, accessory and ignition. The CHALL interface offers a (+) start wire, but because the alarm has a starter kill I need to split it on both sides, which I can't do with this. It also offers a (-) while running which is no good for the acc. And a (+ ignition). I have tried hooking up what I can, but no luck. If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated... maybe one of you guys got a inside line to DEI to help me =).

i want to download a ffew test tones to my flashdrive and i dont know where to be looking. i looked in the pinned thread about all that but it doesnt work anymore or some shit. any ideas????

When does the annual directory issue come out???

Trae - I want to get high So far it seems to be the hardest hitting song. It hits REAL HARD. My voltage actually drops below 13.8... I'm wondering what the bass Hz range is, and if there are any songs similar to it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D95U9jDg4uI Thanks.

I was wondering how good the iPod interface is with the '05 models, and if it was worth the upgrade to a newer headunit. Thanks, Ed
