General Audio

wats da deal with the Pioneer AVHP5050DVD unit, Cant find info nowhere on it.

Just wondering what size to go with? When I ordered from Parts Express, the guy on the phone recommended 1/4" x 20, but turns out these dont fit the opening in my IDQ sub. What size does everyone else use?

Im not trying to make this another one of those Vs threads. But i do have some questions concerning extra batteries as the pertain to my application. I will be running 100.2 and 2 Sundown 1500d's. Would it be more beneficial for me to pick up 2 Deka Intimidator 9A31's or to go ahead and get a Kinetic 2400( or 2000 depending on what i can find). Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Brandon

Fi produces a great product, we all know, but them breaking crap in my car is annoying. Well it's officially gone too far now and I'm slightly mad. How should I fix/prevent this from spreading further. Song used was Decaf's Red Chain, destroys the lows, as seen in the pic.

do parts express own this or do they have there own web page

I recently decided to go with a one amp setup rather than two. I just ordered the Kicker KX550.3 last night. This is my first time messin with car audio, but I already know more than I knew a couple weeks ago. The only things I have installed so far are the Optima Yellow Top and the Eclipse Head Unit.

Been looking around for a good 6.5 half component set speakers for my door for good midrange!!! The problem is cant find any speakers i like for under 100$. Im going to power the bad boys with a "Infinity reference series 7541a" amp. Open minded for any speakers suggestions.

Not sure how true it is, or how reliable the source is, but I heard that Power Bass and Memphis are made by the same company. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Looking at them there are a lot of similarities...but somtimes that doesn't really mean anything.

I found a used JL W7 AE 12" single 3 ohm sub for sale locally and the seller said that it doesn't have the clamp rings which can be found on Ebay for $50. He also said that it has a small scuff on the rubber which I couldn't see in the low quality pics he provided. I have never owned any JL subs. Here are my questions: 1. Is it very hard to install the clamp rings? 2. Is $275 a good price for it? 3. I have a Cadence ZRS-8 amp which is rated at 50 rms @ 4ohm, 750rms @ 2ohm, 1500 rms @ 1 ohm. Will this sub work with my amp?

So, I am going to be building a C-Pillar wall in my SUV soon and my brother has been arguing with me for days now saying its an accident waiting to happen. He thinks that its very dangerous to have a daily driver setup with a C-Pillar wall because it will obstruct blind spots and other things. Anyone with a third row wall have any opinion on this?

I just got a Kicker L7 12 2 ohm and I have an alpine m500 amp, i know its underpowered but it seems to be bottoming out or clipping. It just sounds awful. I dont know if i described this very well just ask and ill provide information where needed. Is it just a tuning problem? Also it will just cut off when the volume gets to loud.

Guy I work with is having a problem with his.it plays only with the engine not running.I got him rechecking his wiring.was curious to see what you all thought.

how many batteries would u recommend for a sundown 3500d saz pushing 2 15" xcon's and a 100.4 saz for mid's and highs?

Can this be done without welding i want to put 6 18s in a 6th order inside a escalade esv but im worried about the sunroof

I have 2 FI sp4s that are dual 2 ohm. Is there anyway that I can hook both of them up to a bc5500 at 1 ohm?

I love their beats, but no one else I know likes 'em (same with Brokencyde/Dot Dot Curve/Hyper Crush...) . Just thought I'd ask: Anyone? On second thought.. Should have posted in "off topic".

I currently have 2 PSI pf2 18s (1800w rms)and 1 Soundstream tx1.2000 amp on each. It sounds ok but im not sure they put out 2000rms@1 like it says... I saw 1 guy on youtube try n test one with a clamp meter and regular meter and figured about 900-1000 watts. I realize there is impendance rise n stuff. Im thinking about going with a 1 Crescendo 3500 or 5500...anyone ever ran these amps?

ok i wanna get my crap togather im think im gonnna make a few more runs of 0 gauge i currenty have a cigg lighter plug in volt display, but its very off! to say the least. i was looking at a few displays and wondering what yall use, i was looking at this model http://cgi.ebay.com/Stinger-Digital-Blue-V...1QQcmdZViewItem anyone know where i can pick one up either cheaper. or the same price just better? also.. should i run one to the rear cells, to watch there and then another for my starting cell? just to keep a eye on my system?

as a hardcore SQ guy I wanna try some new things for the next show. I want to be able to black all the windows out(pyscho-acustics) so the judges can't locate any of the drivers....I don't want it to look bad(towels and such) any ideas? I do wanna keep it as cheap as I can too but totally black the car out.

I am having a fucktard moment, and have a basic ass question. I have, on each channel, two 6 ohm speakers in series for 12 ohms, and then paralleled to a 2 ohm coil. What is the final impedance? I googled several calcs, and none had options for multiple impedances, save for one, but that one gave some answers that looked completely wrong, as in, the speakers with lower impedances receiving less power.... I'm just double checking that this temporary setup isn't wired to a reckless load, my amp doesn't like going below 4, and the last calc I tried gave me 1.7ohm final. It doesn't heat up, and doesn't cut out....But I'm not trying to learn the hard way.

Im thinking of buying from them, ive heard the website thrown around alot here, from memory mostly good.. has anyone had a problem with db-r? The item im looking at is just a sundown saz1500d.. it is refurbished and 99% of the time that just means gabage. What do you guys think? good experiences, bad experiences?

I'm back.. my insurance came through, tomorrow I get a Clarion 835 for like 50 bucks (new in box, with warranty... it's a great system) and I can get back tow ork on being too lazy to install things... anyways, gonna cut a corner or two and texture pain teh fibreglass enclosure, find otu what's wrong with my Koda, and hopefully fix it, and then be ready to pound... that's my story and i'm stickin to it.. :ph34r:

Hey guys, I have a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D and a Kicker 300 4 Channel amplifiers that i am wanting to get tuned correctly because my first time around i blew 2 of 4 door speakers and subwoofer the first 3 days of use and now with my second try i have them tuned not to max but to a point where i know they are not clipping. My question is where can i get a good quality oscilloscope or some distortion detector for $100 or less so i can have these running at their max. I would like to buy the smddd1 but im already 900 deep in this system and cant put any more into it so im trying to find cheaper options. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi ladiess and gents, I have been thinking about my next subwoofer enclosure. To be a little different and it sounds to be a fun project, I wanna try and build a sonotube enclosure. Has anyone here had any experiance with them, good or bad? I also scoured the web and I can't seem to find prices or anywhere that sells sonotubes by the foot. Are there other names they go by? I am getting an 18 nightshade so there will be bracing and all that stuff. I'm looking to get a 24 inch dia. tube to keep the length down. Thanks.
