Denim will be excited I've posted this I've got a 03 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab now, and my Explorer is being driven by my Dad. It's a long story as to why that is, if you care to know PM me. Anyway, I had 2 RE8's in a custom ported box in my X, which will in no way fit in the quad cab of the Ram. Aside from that, we have a 3 week old infant who of course requires a car seat, so rear seat functionality must be maintained. The only thing I can think of is to measure out the area beneath the seats and somehow cram the subs under there, facing out, perhaps angled back. I figure with 8's I should be able to pull this off. The only thing is that I do believe RE's function …

So for the past week i been researching about t-lines and how i can design my own , but so far im just lost . i want to build a t-line for an old rf punch z 10, this is a home project.

Heh, you probably thought I was talking about ports - you narrow minded so and so My amp shipped from SoundDomain in Seattle on October 14th. This was sent via USPS. Naturally, the packages get sent to Vancouver where customs sorts through them, checks for drugs and bombs, determines the appropriate charge (14.5% tax in my case), and then hands them off to Canada Post to go and deliver. 7-14 days is normal for something coming from the US via USPS Air Mail Parcel Post. As of right now, customs has a 150, 000 package backlog, which is absurd, and people have been waiting for up to 5 full weeks for their package. Seattle is only a couple hours from Vancouver. Vancou…

Trying to figure out what to cover the amp rack and box with. I've normally just done carpet that was the closet match for the area the install is in. Trying to decide if I want t do something else now. I did a couple installs in the past where I used formica on the amp rack and trim pieces with carpet and I liked the look. Used to be able to pick up smaller sized pieces at Home Depot, but seems only full sheet now. Can't do vinyl, tried in the past and it just doesn't work well for me. Since all my trim will be black, I was thinking maybe white formica on the amp rack and maybe do the same on the top of the box, then make a carpeted trim pice that is cut bigger t…

i know there are those terminals you can buy from parts express that are pretty nice, but after shipping its like 20 bucks to my area. couldn't i just get some bolts at a general hardware store? i know this question has been asked, but every post i see there is not much about if its ok to do and what material bolts should i look into. all i need are bolts for my wiring and my box should be done!! lemme know what you guys think! thanks!

For my 750w amp?

Thanks to Jason (undercoverpunk)! Just had to get that out of the way first, I'll prolly be saying it a few more times. Anyways...WOOT!!!!!!! These things are pimpin! I love them...and now...onto the pics! WOOT...special hidden message: WOW!!!! HUGE THANKS TO JASON! Without him, this would have never even been THOUGHT of. I'm so happy with just these results. In the coming weeks they will be bondo-d, sanded, sanded, sanded, skimmed, sanded, sanded, primered, wet-sand, painted, whew. Should be done in time for the Cincy Meet! Thanks for looking fellas! Let me know what you think! NG PS: this is my first time EVER dealing with fiberglass

I got to say hey to Alma, but I did not remember to get a picture with her, oh well I will next time, hope you guys enjoy, it was a very very weird feeling show if you look closely you will see Team Gates and the Beast and a few select massive JBL 6000 watt amps

Hi Everyone. Newbie here with insufficient knowledge to make informed decisions. I have a 2019 Volkswagen Caddy SWB van. Plenty of sound deadening and carpet to go in along with many mechanical and cosmetic modifications. Daily driver, sound quality bias, wide variety of music. I’d like to keep the factory RCD330 head unit, put Evil 6.5”s and Evil tweeters in the factory locations, and have one or two 12” subs directly behind the front seats in what would be the rear passenger footwells. No plans for rear fill. The Evils will fit – tweeters out front on top of the dash, 6.5s in the front lower corner of the doors. Might be able to position the twe…

I have always wanted to try out a kicker L7 and I found a 12" Kicker S12L72 for $180 without an enclosure. Since I do not know how stiff the suspension is supposed to be on the sub since I've never owned one. How am I supposed to know if it's blown or even working correctly?

ive got one Fi SSD15 on about 1200 rms in a ported box at 37 hz in the turnk of my 525i. i saw some alpine subs on sale online, the new Type-E's for real cheap, I was thinking about buying those 4 12s, or 3 JL audio 13 inch W1s, and sealing them up in a box. what do you think the overall difference in soudn would be? i'm assuming a louder (more surface area, same power) and cleaner (sealed) sound?

hi i have a clifford 590.2x and i have to addons which is the dual zone motion sensor 508d and digital tilt sensor 507m how do i wire these two to my alarm thur the optinal mux port for additional sensors

The saturn shook it self to peices after a short stint of 1 15" RESX with a 2500.1 wired at 4 ohm, had to replace it and am moving my gear over. Need some help from people who own ford explorers or SUV's in general. Alright, i just bought a 2001 ford explorer sport.... For the sub and port directions for some loud loud daily pounding which is the best place to face the subs and the port? I plan on keeping my rear seats, making a 7 cuft box ported to 34HZ for my re SX's. Also the alt is a 130amp factory unit, i have a pair of new batts for the trunk and am runnin a KX2500.1. Do i need a larger alt if im not always hard into the amp? Thanks in advance.

I have a Chevy extended cab full size I want to compete with again, I don’t want a wall or blowthru should I do 4 12” or couple 15” or 18”? one big sub or multiple subs? i will be changing out my alt and adding batteries as needed i use to have 3 JL 12W7 I’m a slot port box with one 1000 slash amp per sub in an s10 extended cab hitting 153.4

I am working on custom center console for my dodge ram. Here are some pics if interested.

I’m curious if anyone can fill me in on what’s going on with AL? I know SSA and DroppinHZ used to sell them but now I can’t find any online dealers. I’ve been told they are ghosting their dealers right now and it appears they are liquidating some products on their site. When they first came out everyone said they had great CS and then I started hearing of warranty horror stories. Wonder if shady practices did them in?

what's this remind you of? ok, this company was brought to my attention by soundsplinter, referring to something else. so i get to the website and what do i see? yep, looks like an uberwoofer (albeit with a smaller motor structure,or so it seems) to me!! i wonder how close this thing is to the uberwoofer? steve, ryan...u guys ever get t/s parameters on ur uber's? i wonder if i can find any on the svsubs... but just something to make y'all think..hehe yeah, i know they are both made by tc sounds.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So for the first time ever, I set off some car alarms. LOL I know for most of you guys this isn't uncommon, but I've always thought it was a pretty cool/funny thing and I've finally done it. Pulled into the movie theaters parking garage bumping some Jeezy with my friends and not a second later 4 vehicle's alarms went nuts. (Sorry if this bores you. The little things in life make me happy )

ok so my friend asked me to pick out some options for his first system. he has a 05 impala stock batt. he is not worried about sq; he just wants a daily driver.about 300$ for the subs and i told him to get a ap 1500. seats fold down he is not trying to seal off the trunk. he wanted 2 p1 15s i told him not to do that told him get 3 ia 187 12s, 1 ia li 15 , 2 rex 12s, or 1 15 fi bl. is there any other suggestions i could give him. i also told him to get a new batt. he is not worried about taking up the whole trunk, also the icon 15 was suggested.

Would like to appoligize, I am new to the forum and did not know my add would cause harm, just wanted to help! I did not purposely spam your forum.

A few of you know, Nick convinced me into doing my own recones. So I ordered them, they came in and a day later I went to work. One little thing to mention, NO ONE BETTER TAKE AWAY MY ORIGINALITY!!! Props to Fi on the black baskets, shame they won't be seen in my build but they look pretty damn sweet!
