If anybody around here likes country, I just got done with Trace Adkins - Every light in the house is on....Peaks at 46hz and 52hz...My truck peaks around 45hz and it slams pretty good. It is slowed a little bit. If anybody wants it PM me and i'll email it to you. Let me know what you think! Trace Adkins - Tracy Lawrence - Every Light In The House Is On_0.mp3

Mods I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this so if not please move to the proper local...... I've recently teamed up with Arkansas Car Stereo here in Little Rock and we're looking to add a few good installers to the team, so if you've got the skills and take pride in your work then we definitely want to talk to you. You can stop by any Tue-Fri between 9-5 and ask for Mack Thompson, Jack Todd or myself Rick Holmes or you can submit your resume to Mack at [email protected] Thanks...Rick

2013 Subaru Impreza SSA Icon 12" (purchased in 2008 for a 2000 Civic Hatch EK) Sundown Amplifier (dont have model off hand, for use with subwoofer) Pioneer AVH-2400BT Headunit Been searching for a few days now on what to do with the speakers in this car and have had some difficulty. Prices I've listed are appoximate since I've not shopped around yet. What Im looking at: Front Components (6.5):-Hertz HSK165 ($380)-Morel Tempo 6 ($340) Rear:I've not had the pleasure of riding in a car with aftermarket rear door speakers, meaning only coupe style where rear speakers are often killed by a subwoofer due to proximity. I read that rear speakers should really only be replaced for…

I have heard before that port noise can be increased if the port is too close to the sub. Is there any legitimacy to this?

I have a 99 4 door chevy blazer i would like to do a vented clam shell in but would like to have it ported. i have never made a clam and have no idea how to do one ported. the plan is for 8 sundown sa15s then upgrade at a later time to the x line. i will be running 2 kicker warhorses on these subs as well and it will be daily driven and used for many demos. any ideas on how to do it would be greatly appreciated. thanks, tyler

Hey I'm new to car audio, and I have been looking around on the forums, and I decided I want something really simple for my car. I have a 2006 MINI Cooper S, and I am looking to get a simple box and amp, I just want really clean and defined bass. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ele/635415308.html I've been talking to the seller of those JL and Amp for the past few days, and I think I might end up buying them, I most likely will pay around the $250 region. Is there something else I can look into around this price, new or used is okay. I need this to be quickly removable from the car as I do autocross the MINI occasionally. So a quick breakdown of that setup is JL 10W…

Hey guys I'm trying to make some test tones with Adobe Audition so I can calibrate my amp as well as my head unit. I'm using the highest sample rate in the program, 192,000, and I'm using 32 bit resolution. So I'm assuming this is the highest quality audio I can get off the computer. Anyways my question is which format should I save them as? I know that mp3 is a lossy format, and the program has like 20 different ones I can choose. The other thing is I have to able to put them onto a burnable cd, so I'm assuming that limits me to just mp3 and wav. But the program lists about 5 different wav formats, so which one should I choose? Any help would be appreciated. A/mu-Law Wav…

Heres a review of the unit. They also have a group buy at caraudio.com going for it. I read the whole thread and I seem impressed. I downloaded the plugin for windows media player and I like the way it sounds on my headphones. I don't know if I would buy the unit, but maybe in the future if more people have good results. However, it looks very promising. I am gonna copy the text here because it is hard to read at ECA. http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/showthread....threadid=109732 Okay so here it is. I feel i've tested the unit for long enough to get a good feel of what its capable of. First off i just want to say i have no connection to Waves (the maker of maxxbass) and i D…

I'm interested in this alarm. I have some feature questions, and DEI will not answer them on the phone due to "liability issues". They'll only speak to the shop owner. Well, my preferred shop owner basically contracts out a revolving alarm installer.. so neither of them are fimiliar with this alarms capabilites. I'm shocked that DEI cannot answer simple feature questions on their own product. I'm not asking what wires to cut, I just want to know what it can do basically. I want to know if the 7900 can start via a time. The computstar alarm, allows you to have the car start by time, temp, or voltage. Does the 7900 do this? Can I add a small, non lcd remote to this (DEI sa…

i am currently running a sae-1200dv2 and i have the big three done in my 02 grand prix gtp... i am getting 2 sa-12s and i plan to be getting the sax.100.4 also. i was woundering if the Shuriken SK-BT120 battery will be big enough to run both amps or shuld i just run the 100.4 off the yellow top under the hood?

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

Both Tweeters blew off a sundown 100.4. Gain was half way. 12 db slope. Volume 40/60. Wtf?

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

alright guys well i think my stock civic door speakers finally had enough of my abuse. They are 5 1/4iches, my door panel is really shallow on my civic so im kinda limited on what i can stick in there. also when i first got my honda the speakers sounded like crap and hardly got loud. Once i put in my new h/u they sounded 10x better and got really loud, so im pron going to not use an amp for now as i dont think i need one. So i need some nice pretty shallow speakers maybe no more depth then 2 1/4 inches. What would you gets recommend that around 25-35 wrms that sound nice and get loud. Anything will be takin into account. Thanks guys

QUESTION: When an "Alternator Manufacturer" gives you an "Output at Idle" number - What do you want to hear? Most people just want to hear a high number and they're happy from that point on out.... Until they have 12.4 volts at a stoplight and 14.8 when they drive... Do you think they have been “deceived” lied to? The industry standard for an "Idle output" test is 2400 ROTOR rpm. That's approximately 800 engine rpm if you have a 3:1 pulley ratio. It’s been that way for years...& as far as today that number should really be 2000 Rotor RPM instead of 2400 because crank pulleys have got way smaller on most vehicles which makes the "Outpu…

anybody know how much a havoc 18 would be. doesnt say on their website, and i dont have a dealer around i doubt, but ive seen people getting their subs in the mail. where can i buy them at?

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.

Hey, I'm getting back into the swing of building again after a long period of no fabrication, and I'm trying to find a dual or triple bracket system for a 98 f-150 truck. I suppose I should try a metal shop or something first? Another question I have is when you got to plug in the control module or power wires do you just splice them all? Any information or experience would be helpful. Thanks

I was thinking about something the other day.... would love to hear some feedback A comparison of abuse each individual component takes in your typical car audio system, (10,000 watts of power for example) SUBWOOFERS- Typically, a pair of 2500–3000-watt subs on a 10k or 10k worth of power, so real close to double its rated capacity (People blow subs daily, and recon all the time, and never say a word about the product, or quality of product. They just accept its part of the game and move on) $500 sub, $150 recon kit, EVERY time it blows. That gets expensive really quick, but still, nobody cares, they actually seem happy and proud they launc…
