General Audio

Hey all. I was just wondering how you guys listen to your music in your ride. Right now I'm using my iPod and a AUX cable. I just started using my iPod. I used to use my flash drive and actually I'm thinking about going back to the flash drive because it's easier to use for me. I personally don't like CD's because you have to take them out and put another one in when you want to listen to something different. So, what do you guys prefer?

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

Firstly, don't tell me just because someone in their honda civic can hit 150db, that I can too in mine. I understand the differences between installation and burping vs music. I just want to see what people have been able to pull off in their vehicles. Also state if vehicle was walled. I'll start: Vehicle: 1997 Jeep Wrangler (2door, hardtop). Equipment: DC 270xp alt, saz1500d, Fi BL 18" (33hz tuned enclosure). Meter placement: headrest Music: not metered, guessing ~140-142 Tones: 40hz, 143db I'm about to get a new vehicle and would like something sporty to drive, so space will be a restraint, but I'm curious to see what others have been able to do in their vehicles.

So far all the subwoofers I have had were, two 10" Memphis Power References (250 rms each), two 10" Pioneer Premiers (400 rms each), single 12" Cadence TX12 (450 rms i think), and now I have a single 12" RD Alpha V.2 (1500 rms). The 12" hit lows a lot better than the 10's, but the dual 10's seem to give off a more bass and everyone that heard my subs say that with my memphis' they could hear me way down the road where all my other woofers you couldn't. I don't know if that necessarily means that the memphis were the loudest, but anyways I just wanted to get some opinions on subs. Here is what I'm looking for, right now I have stock electrical so the RD Alpha can really ma…

Ever added the total cost of your system up ? It's bound to be a scary thing to do - I dont even want to think of it :ph34r: - Steve

Whats involved in doing a MDF roof? My headliner is shot, and i don't want to spend 350 for a replacement headliner. I think it would be nice cause I could make a console for the roof to mount stuff..

Hey y'all it's been a minute. I recently purchased a 2013 Cadillac srx. Totally in love with the new ride. No more huge audio builds. It has the factory 10 speaker Bose system, but sounds like total garbage. I'm planning on upgrading, but keeping it very clean. I'm going for clarity, not necessarily an sq build but more in that direction. Not sure where to start. Any suggestions? The sub will be replaced eventually. But in the mean time I guess front doors are priority . Factory tweeters are in the pillars. I want it to look completely stock or as close as I can.

Today will be my first competition. Its only local but it still is exciting for me. Im mostly excited to see what numbers Im putting up as Im running my system and to see how things are operated as ive never even attended a show before. Wish me luck! Goin to rep some SSA and convert some of these main stream nut huggers

holy moses indeed...after scouring google for comments on this car audio e-tailer I too am feeling angst!!! Granted any comment of e-tailer business experiences like anything else must be taken with a grain of salt...particularily when you take into account that 1 negative experience will reach mythic proportions as opposed to a good buying experience which probably results in no or at best, few good praise posts. E.g loyalists vs. loses. WIth that said...this Woofersetc.. was accused by some buyers as either a 'front' or some business that really doesnt even exist!! So...appparently the owner is very rude and brash, he returns e-mails on a 'do-i-feel-like-it-or-not…

I'm thinking about upgrading my 5.25" JL VR coaxials to Rainbow CS230 Contour 2-way Component Speaker System 5.25 used for $160. Is this a decent deal?

As you have probably heard, some people say that too little power can blow speakers. Well... How can I say this... BS!!!! Too little power will only cause the maximum output level to be low. Abuse and the defective 'wing nut' (an idiot) connected to the volume control blow speakers with low powered amplifiers. If driving a speaker with low power would cause them to fail, speakers would fail every time you lower the volume on the head unit. I will try to explain what happens when speakers are driven with clipped signals but remember... you get what you pay for. Note: This page deals mainly with speaker damage that involves thermal damage of the voice coil. Speakers can…

Yes it's a little obscene that I have 97,800w on tap. No it's not in a car. Its in a 2200 seat church. All the power ratings except for the subs are at 8 ohms. We have all four channel amplifiers. I won't get into amplifier topology now, but suffice it to say... they're super efficient. 1x C10:4 (4 x 250 = 1000w) 1000 [fills] 4x C16:4 (4 x 400 = 1600w) 6,400 [high frequency] 4x C28:4 (4 x 700 = 2800w) 11,200w [monitors, fills] 4x C48:4 (4 x 1200 = 4800w) 19,200w [midrange] @ 8 ohms 6x FP10000Q (4 x 2500 = 10,000w) 60,000w [subwoofers, midbass] http://www.labgruppen.com/products/ All this is fed by a isolated power transformer that weighs in at 744lbs. Each amplifier is c…

Walked out to my truck this afternoon (about 20 minutes ago) to find everything missing except my CD player. ill get pics and more info as soon as the cops leave. this happened right infront of my house beetween 6am and 6pm today.

Has anyone ordered from Sonic or Online Car Stereo? Are these companies legit? What I was specifically looking at was a newer Pioneer 5700 DVD. The prices are sweet and are about $130.00 less than Crutchfield. Just wanting to know if anyone has any experience with these companies???

im looking for a crimper like this one but id rather not have to hit it with a hammer. does anyone know where to buy an impact gun driven crimper for 30 bucks or under? i found some 250.00 ones from snap on but thats it. http://www.nagca.com/grandtech/Tech%20Photos/crimper.jpg

I need some info any and all comments are welcome! here is my setup I will be running: 2-saz2000 2-nsb90's 2-15inch ns 1-h/o alt and the big 3 system potential 4000-4500rms at 2ohm potential current 350-400A now my question is DO I NEED 2 runs of + and - from front to back of my car???? currently I have 1 run of each(+ and -) from front to back of my car but getting another run of each will be nearly impossible! the only way I could do this is to either go under the car (or on top and call it a pin stripe) or I could run it on the driver side but then it will be mixed with my RCA wires. now my question is should I switch my 1 run of negative(-) to a run of positive(…

I'm tryin to decide on what kinda battery to get for a 3,000 watt 2 jbl gto 14001's and a JBL 4 Channel

does anyone have a tl or know of a shop with one in houston willing to let me run a few sweeps and meter my car?

Alright... so with the dimensions i am using for my 18" BTL, it will give very limited space for air to move around the box. I was going to fire it into the trunk, BUT it will give little air space to move around the box to get back into the cabin. Will this be a major problem? If so ill need to rethink the build.

Anyone made the switch from the d3100s to these? Any big diff think my d310ps are taking a shit

ok well here it goes i had to 2 15"s rockford fosgate punk rfp3415 or something like that hooked up to my 1600 watt amp, it was bridged so....that wasnt looking good after a day 1 sub blew, and the next one did the next day. i didnt bridge them some guy told me to do it to get more power to the subs even though there 400 watts each. so now do some new subs i was looking at fi subs and they look like the right ones for me. http://www.adelcom.net/DieselAudio-NS-1600-Page.htm that is my amp that my brother gave me. i'm kinda thinking thats why its to much power through 1 channel. so my question is the amp that i have now is it good to power these subs and yes im getting 2 …
