Ive currently got a single 0 gauge wire from front to back batteries, Will adding another run of 0 gauge increase or help anything? Im thinking of getting another yellowtop . Ive currently got 2 yellowtops in the back. the big one and smaller one

Just sold my Dual 2ohm BTL N2 to my buddy. It was working for a few songs then randomly cut off for a few seconds and then would turn back on for a bit, and this would happen over and over. Didnt really have enough time to diagnose anything last night but I was going to try to find out what was happening today. He has a Kicker ZX1000.1so I wired the sub in series. Weirdest thing is that he said it wasnt happening with his other subs. I was going to check the regular stuff like voltage at the amp and make sure I actually did wire the sub properly but Im not sure why it would be doing this in the first place. He told me the amp stays on so Im lost.

I'm starting a new bagger build that will have four 6x9's four tweeters and an amp in the fairing. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with soundigital ? The reason I wanted to try this amp was due to its small size since its going in the fairing . I know not everyone is familiar with motorcycles etc but i'm limited in my options regarding number of speakers and size of amp so if anyone has any good sounding combos etc let me know . Right now im leaning towards focal or JL speakers and a alpine amp . Thanks

So im in the process of a new build. Ive had a Skar VVX15 and DC Lvl4 18. Def loved the DC more. ( just sold that ) but its so expensive for me to get multiples. For this new build i want to do either 15s or 18s for sake of its cheaper to get louder (meaning price of 1 18s is cheaper than 2 12s of equivalent specs) So my question is what kinda ideas you guys got! At least doing 2 subs. maybe 4 if i can afford. Not sure on Power ( currently have a SAZ1500v1 but wanna upgrade to 3-4k) I have a 99 jeep grand cherokee...willing to cpillar wall......GO! any questions just ask! thanks guys

Now its been awhile so i forgot all the fancy terms but im sure you guys can answer this. So i have my amp set up for my max volum at 25. Now i listen to a lot of reggae and i dont at 25 it doesnt come close to clipping my amp. So is it ok to turn the volume up more?

Which should i get. Just one set for my truck want it loud and to sound decent. Will be amping them. Thinkin of the incrim audio.

Support America buy Usa made products!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just curious are they new or reconed

Well my dumb ass forgot to lock my car at school and someone stole my frigging tweeters. Luckily they didn't get into the trunk (I have my trunk release disabled) or doors, and I always take my HU faceplate with me. After looking around online I don't think that I want to pay $200 for the Alpine tweeters. I have read that the are most likely Vifa ring radiator tweeters. I want something that I can drop in their place for hopefully less than what the Alpine tweeters are. The location of the tweeter is at the top of my door panel all of the way up front. I was happy with this location withe the Alpine tweeters. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

upgraded to 2 sa12's, 800 watts each. and im not noticing a big big difference in loudness. it shakes everything alot more, and i know im getting more bass. i thought that adding another sub and giving it 300 more rms would be alot louder. when the volume is at 20, i dont notice a difference, but when its at 22 my subs go insane. but my music gets crazy loud too, i was hoping that my subs would overpower the lyrics and music, so i would get nice bass without having absurdly loud singing and whatnot. im wondering if maybe my box isnt great. might sell it and get a jl basswedge for both subs, cause that would not only fit better.. but my single sa sounded great in that box…

Is it possible to send my SSA XCON dual 1 ohm in for a re-cone and have them reconfigure the sub so it is Dual 2 ohm?

i have multiple questions. 1) i have two MMats 15 P3.0 . that can take 700 rms each. What amp should i use to push these? 2) i have a big custom box tuned to 30 hz . it doesnt fit in my trunk so i will be having them on my rear seat(tightly secured down) should i have them facing the roof or the front of the car? and how will it sound? thank you for everyones help. im a newbie.

I just put in a new box in my 1999 jeep grand cherokee and I reattached the back battery, In doing so I noticed my voltage is at an average of 12.6 with little bass. My voltage is going crazy and im not sure what is going on. Normally at full tilt on rock, the voltage plays at 12.8, But now its at 12.2...... My Interior lights are now feeling the power drops and dimming everytime a bass note hits.....as before it wasnt doing that......any ideas?? My alternator is working i had it checked today..... Also might i add that with the bass off my voltage goes from 13.6- to 12.8....with no bass...only mids and highs......wtf?!

As the title says, I hooked up my SSA Icon 12 to 200w today Since my Audioque 1200 doesnt come until Thursday and I noticed a few things... 1. Looks like I will definitely need to buy new speakers and amp them. 2. I severely underestimated this sub. This thing is a monster on only 200w 3. I have a ton of work to do to get rid of the insane rattle going on in the back. This is probably one of the loudest systems ive heard to date and its only on 200w right now. Ive never been so impressed by a single sub on such low wattage ever.

I'm in the market for a new vehicle; and, I'm going to upgrade it. I have questions about today's vehicles: 1. I'm looking at a model that has push button start and factory remote start; what challanges are there when adding a partial or full alarm on it? 2. This model has the full sat radio/navigation/premium head unit and I wanna at least add better bass; what challanges are there in integrating to this head unit?

I just put a new CM MOJO "catridge" on a motor and im getting some coil rub. I did a second one and it turned out great but i remounted the catridge a few times on the first one and it keeps rubbing on the same side inside the coil. I think its slanted not off center. I mounted some old cartridges i had on the same motor and didnt get any rub so im pretty sure its the new cartridge. Any advice on a fix?

Box for an 18" BL. 44.5" wide, 21.5" tall, and 20" deep. Port is 4.5" wide and 20" tall. Port length is 30" for about 30 hz tune and ~6.7ft^3 after displacements. I've never built a ported box and never had a sub that heavy. I've seen people do "window" bracing like I drew here...think this 2" wide bracing be adequate? The sub will fire up and port back in my Explorer (read that is a general rule to go by), but I can turn the box for rear firing the sub and firing the port up if that works better. Thanks for any thoughts!

http://www.bitpusher.in/ sealed enclosure page input dimensions, driver displacement, double baffle option, end up with net volume. Pretty basic. port area page input driver's partial t/s specs, and calculate port area based on vent mach. ported enclosure page input dimensions, driver displacement, double baffle option, port area / number or aeroports, end up with net volume and proper port length (accounts for port displacement). I started this in the morning, and just finished. From all the testing I've done I haven't run into any issues, but feel free to try it yourself, and post back. Hope this alleviates some headache in designing your boxes.

probley about to do 6 12" gcons and wondering if i should go with a ported wall or bandpass wall, wanting it to sound really good with music not just trying to get high numbers, going to be on 5 to 6000 watts, somewhere around there

so i am wanting to set my gain on my amp and i have read a ton on the dd-1. some people love it and some think it is useless. Ok so i have no experience with an o scope at all but watched some videos and i think i could do it. So with someone like me who has never set there gains with an o scope would it still be a good idea for me to get an o scope or a dd-1? and can you tune your hertz with an o scope? I am open to any suggestions just please keep in mind that im a newbie with setting gains....

I just downloaded the torres calculator how good is this calculator?

Just wandering how many people have broken off their mirror due to flex issues

I have my amp mounted to the back of my box. It's mounted so that the bottom of my amp is screwed to the back of the box. Is this bad? I was told by a guy yesterday that it can cause internal issues with the amp. Any input?

im looking for an alt. for my 96 grand caravan, anyone have one or know where it get cheap, like between 2 and 300

Hi guys, so I connected a 12" kicker cvr to my hifonics 1000.1D on the bridged terminals on the amp but at the same time I connected a Rockford p3 8" on the two remaining terminals on the amp. I noticed that my kicker isn't hitting as hard. I'm curious to know if the connected could possibly causing me to have a loss of power?
