Hi, I was wondering, as the alternator put out there max output on around 1500rpm or something like that, on my car, that has an electronic idle control system, Is there some part or something to raise and keep an certain idle speed by the press of a button or something similar? Thank you.

ok i have my big 3 done with kicker hyper flex and a kinetik hc1400 in the back. i used to run a us amps md2d wired to 1.33 ohms and never had any problems at all with the lights dimming. now i have my precision power 850.1 running a sundown sa and i noticed when i was in town other night , that at higher volumes my lights blinked a little but nothing too major. i just thought this was weird because the md2d never caused this. i have 4 gauge ran to the amp.. i have the gain set a little over 1/4. its running at 1 ohm. ssf set to about 30 and lpf somewhere around 80. bass boost on the amp and head unit off. any suggestions on how to stop this besides gettin a new alterna…

I have been trying to figure out a good 32hz box for two jl audio 12w6v2 but so far no one has been able to help me without saying i can build on for you. I already have all the wood and other stuff so i would like to make it myself. If anyone can help me please let me know

So I'm building a ported box and i am definitely a noob at all this. I have 2 jl audio 12w6 and online they give me all the measurements for the ported box. My problem is i'm confused on the tuning aspect of ported enclosures. I'm going to give you all a link to jls website at the bottom that tells you all the measurements for the box. Now if i have this right all i have to do is fallow the port measurements (and all the other measurements of course) and my box will be tuned to 32hz right? http://www.jlaudio.com/12w6v2-d4-car...-drivers-92121 go to specifications tab and at the bottom it will say ported enclosure specifications I know its only for one subwoofer but it sa…

Will it do rated if not what will it do? Is it worth 200?

Alright so Im gonna sound like a total fuckin newb but whatever. Kinda getting back into putting a stereo back into my truck, so i ordered some focal access 165 and a sundown sax125.2 for my front doors of my regular cab chebby p/u. My question is how do you guys like to run the wires for your front stage, in my past experiences hooking up a/b amps i have almost always ran into some kind of signal noise, ive tried running ground loops from deck to amp to battery, keeping the RCAs on the complete other side of the vehicle than the power and ground... seems like it never fixes it. so what im getting at is, what do you guys do? if anything? was i just using shitty RCA's a…

Im looking to do a whole electrical upgrade to prep for a fi sp415 strapped to a 3000 watt amp (Thinking maybe crescendo or hifonics). My question is what size alternator do you think would efficient. Im struggling finding any good info on high output alternators. I plan to big 3 and maybe get a second battery depending on if i need one. Oh ya the car is a 2002 accord. 2.3l

Hey there everybody im new to the site so forgive me if i placed this in the wrong area but im trying to decide what configuration would be the best of both worlds as far as sounding good and being loud in a 91 civic hatch behind the back seats. I plan on running 1 12" sub. Should i have the sub and port forward, up, or back, or should i have a combo of the above port up and sub forward or back or any other variation of the above options? Any input would be great thanks im wanting to go ahead and build my box as i let my pocket recoup from the holidays as its fairly cheap to do. lol I'm just not sure what would be best for my civic.

Why does my usb port thumb drive sound better then a cd burned off the same computer?

So, Saturday, I was installing my subs and amp and among a myriad of problems, My most glaring problem to troubleshoot is a sub thump (more like: thump thump, thump thump, thump thump) and my amp going in to protect. The problem is, this happens long after everything is turned off. As a matter of fact, I went in to Jack in the box, ate, came back out 20 min later just in time to hear it. My setup is - 6 SA 8's D4's - 2 1500's - 300 amp alt, 1 CnD 100ah, 2 XP 3000s When I initially wired the setup, I paralleled them (2 sides of 3) for a final resistance of .67 per side and ran both amps strapped (I initially thought I was at 1.67 per side). Since I was worn out from gettin…

Hi I'm relatively new too the car audio world and I have been patrolling this forum for some time now trying too gain more knowledge. Basically I'm stuck trying too decide on what subwoofer I'm going too choose based off space in my car. It's A 2008 Scion Xb I Wanna Keep The Rear Seats Dimensions Are 38x38x16 Im Not Bias On Any Brands And Open Too Any Sizes Just Wanna Get As Loud As Possible And As Low As Possible. I Already Have Mechman Alt Installed 0 Gauge Ran Big 3 Done And Yellow Top Under The Hood And A Hifonics BRZ2400. Budget Is About $1,000 For Subs. Thanks For The Help

I really cant decide between running 3 6.5's per door or running 3 8's per door. I think the 8's would give a more "full" sound with better midbass. Im still considering running all Crescendo front stage since I have 2 8's in the garage and also have 2 tweeters already. I also already have 2 Rockford 6.5's. So I'm torn which way to go 3 - 8in Crescendo PWX's and 2 FT1 super tweeters per door. or 3 - 6.5in Rockford Punch Pro and 2 PP8-T super tweeters per door. I could do 2 mids and 1 tweeter per door but not sure if it will keep up at 155db+ of bass and I only want to do the doors once. Crescendo's are very heavy, large magnet, 4in deep and the FT1's are relatively…

anyone have download links for custom songs or any songs for download?

I was fooling around with the torres box calc. and was wondering what port area range was and what volume is the one to use gross or net. and if there's a way to post pics of it to see what you guys think?

Whats up SSA! In the near future I would like to open up some type of small car audio shop. Start off small and build it up, but what I was wondering is.. Is it illegal to resell brand new audio equipment without being authorized as a dealer? Lets say I buy alot of American Bass subs and resell them for a $30 profit per sub (in example), would it be illegal? Thanks for any input.

Its been a while since i was on here last. Whats everybody been up to?! I know im bout to do a pretty sweet upgrade for system!

I've been looking around for a 12" and my fingers were looking deeply at the Fi Q, until I tried to understand what all of their options do. The information is so lacking and even misleading that I couldn't make myself to buy a from a company that produces "quality" equipment but can't even describe their options correctly. So now I'm looking at the 12" ICON. Not only have I read it's great sealed it produces great SQ I was interested with going ported with the Q but now that I think of it, I'm not willing to give up my entire trunk. Could anyone with experience with the 12" ICON, with a sedan (I drive a 2003 Accord), give me some info regarding how the SQ would be in th…
