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…

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???

I'm in the middle of my girl's system install in her '01 civic and am having a tough time deciding were to place the tweeter The tweeters are too deep to flush mount on the door so I would have to surfarce mount if I put them on the doors or I could flush mount them in the kickpanels. Or maybe flush mount in front of the door handle? What do you guys suggest Also can start build log pics but this is a fairly simple install with f/r comps, two amps, one 12", 100 sqft sound deadening and cd player. Do you guys want the log?

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.

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 …

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…

Hey guys, been trying for the last week to get rid of my current equipment to make room for new stuff. I put some ads up, and not one person has been interested, not even any lowballers. lol When I had two Hifonics amplifiers of comparable power for sale last spring I got literally flooded with demand, and I asked just about the same amount of money. Although they were unused. Here's what's for sale. Keep in mind I live in Canada. Not easy to get Fi up here, and Soundstream is not seen often. $300 - 12" Fi BL - Dual 2, Cooling, Flatwind, Daily $300 - Soundstream Tarantula TRX1500D $200 - Soundstream Tarantula TRX2.550 Was thinking about knocking $50 off everything. Let …

So whats the deal with these boxes? I cant go onto their website, and i heard they may be having some issues? I really would like to find a box thats this quality out there without having to pay someone $500 for some 'custom' made POS. So if anyone knows a person, or company that makes good boxes, let me know.

No clue why. I am getting a voltage reading that is about right coming out of my amp when I use the dmm on it so a bad ground cant be the problem right? I am almost positive its wired right, 1 wire on the + on the right side 1 wire on the - of the left. What could it be?

Well, as you guys may or may not know I am in the process of the design, and construction of my HT cabinets. The Adire Kit81 units in a ported box using flared vents is in order. I have spent weeks practicing with clear lacquer, as a how to. I have a ton of wood scraps out in the garage I have been practicing differant techniques, and materials and I have found my method. I have tried schelac, varnish, laquer, polyeurothane, and tung oil. I have tried several methods of application of each and I have found my very favorite to be Deft Lacquer, with a natural brush. I have a piece out in the garage with 8 coats of lacquer, but the final product on the units will be around …

Anyone here have an 8th generation Honda Accord? If you do what system do you have in it and what does your trunk look like? Im trying to figure out how to build a box my 12" XCON subwoofer but the trunk is so stupidly designed. its very wide towards the trunk opening then goes very narrow as you move towards the seats due the wheel wells arching up into the floor. I dont want to Kill my entire trunk space by having to build a box and put it towards the trunk opening cuz i need to use my trunk here is a picture of how the trunk looks (you can see what im talking about how stupid the design is and here is a picture of when i had my alpine type R's in them. …

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..

Have a pretty old Car audio background however have been out of it for while. I have been using my legacy equipment for years and has served me very well however its time for something new and very interested in Sundown. I already purchased the Subs a pair of RE MX12's that I want to run ( got a really good deal from a friend who was parting out) and need an amp to power them. They are Dual 2 ohm Subs so trying to decide if I should go with 2 1500's or If I can get away with either a single 2500d or 3500d I would really like to use a single sub amp for both space and system Simplification reasons. I know running Either amp will be at @.50 which is under its rated capabi…

I'm putting my first system together one piece at a time. I first picked up my Pioneer 8600 at the beginning of the year and installed it into my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT. Now I'm moving to the subwoofers and amp. I mainly have two possibilities: (2) Two 12" RE SEs--- powered by an Orion 1200d OR (1) One 12" RE SX--- powered by an Orion 1200d I will more than likely port it either way, I am just wanting the one that will sound better and have an overall LSQ. I've asked this question to numerous people and I've got many many different answers, if you have an other suggestions, please spit them out. I want to keep it around this price range. Thanks, Kyle
