General Audio

I cant find a in depth faq on every componet in a sub works. Do you have any? Or can answer it all:) ty

Saturday, going to get metered for the first time. Uhm yeah. Dont really have much else to say.

I'm 17 and about to go to college how do I make car audio a career?

Or rca side? Thanks

Well my starting batt decided to poop out today. I noticed a lower charging voltage than normal, I shut my truck off and voltage dropped from 12.8 to 12 with in 5 min so my front batt is pulling my rear batt down. I went outside an hour later and it was at 10.5 so I'm guessing bad cell in my front batt, it is 5 or 6 yrs old. So I am prolly gonna get a dura last platinum. It's the agm version of the duralast gold. Any other suggestions?

So i read that in can causes fires as to why you must use a fuse but will it do anything else? Such as fry other electrical componets in your car?

Ive been playing with the thought lately as installing an iPad in the dash of my truck. I was looking at an in dash unit but I can get and iPad in for like $500 total installed. I don't want to have a head unit along with the iPad, just the iPad with the adapter that allows for charging with audio/video rca's. Here's some of the questions I was trying to figure out. Has anyone ever attempted this or talked with someone who has? Although not the best I can use processing on the iPad itself. I should be able to connect directly to the amp with the rca's correct? I may be missing some things but it seems like if you tapped the remote in with the ignition and rca's worked tha…

I guess the dcons dont i was really hopeing they would. Oh well. I finally fucking got them!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: Man today is like christmas all over again!! Just goot wait on my dc creations box to put these bad babies in. Going to start a log in the picture forum.

So I found a place that's less than an hour away with a meter. So any tips/ tricks? What sweeps/tones should I take? Never been metered before so this will be an exciting experiance for me.

Yep uncle sam put the big old red white and blue shaft to me this year. So no new build anytime soon. Guess I'll have to use the Powerbass XL 15"s I have sitting in the closet unfortunatly they are huge air space hogs. Just need an amp. I've got my Elemental designs nine.2 running my borrowed 13ov.2s right now. It works but Not quite what I am used to or want. Just had to vent a little.

Hey guys! So after all the research, nd the help of all my fellow mates here, ive finally decided on going with the 15' SSA Zcon D2 Now, the time has come to decide on an amp that will be able to efficently feed this beast!! I just wanted your opinions on which amp should i go with and btw, when i was browsing the ssa store, what really got my attention was the Stetsom V 2K5 E which does 2500 rms 12.6v @ 1 ohm! The price is very affordable nd i just wanted to know if anyone has tried this product out before?? Thanks alot yall!!

Just wanted to hear some thoughts...Being that your front stage is what is important, does anyone use rear equalization also? And if so, did you eq from the drivers location faded rear? Or try to adjust everything as "one"

Just picked up a 99 Tahoe!!!! It has front end damage but can be fixed by yours truly. Was my step moms for 8 yrs then my sisters for 2 yrs and has 170xxx highway miles!! It's 4wd and champagne. My sis said if I gave her 1250$ it's mine! So I snatched that hoe up!! Will hopefully transfer my 18's to it and use my truck as a toy hauler And daily driver!

Wondering on the average time

Hitting up lowes and was needing to know

Like it says i need some songs that hit around 35 hz. Thats what my box is tuned to and i want it to be loud! I would prefer newer songs but any things works lol Thanks!

So i will be doing my first install sometime this week. I dont know how to set the amp levels (i will be looking on what fits my needs) so in the meantime im posting this. I listen to mainly electronic (trance, techno, dub) and metal. So i want my mids to hit nice. And maybe some lows.

So I'm competing in MECA this year (been going to the comps the last year but never had my subs in when i went) and I'm building my daughter a power wheels for MECA Kids. shes in the 5 and under class so I can only run a single 8 and no bigger than a 20a fuse to the amp. So I picked up a cheap h/u and a pair of 4x6 were given to me. I'm getting a memphis 50.2 to run the sub, just because I know the punishment my friends and I have put these amps through. So my 2 questions are this. 1, What battery would you use with limited space to keep it playing. I found Kinetik HC600 for 60 bucks new online and figured it was a pretty good candidate since it fit in the limited room I …

Iv seen multiple bad things said about them.. and a few good things. But have said that, i found a used 200a Iraggi alt on here for sale at a very good price and I was just wondering if anyone has some information I could use or something. I was thinking that aslong as I get it bench tested and its doing fine, I personally see no reason why I shouldnt get it, this is mostly based on the fact I wasnt even thinking about getting one this soon because of the usual price tag. -Mike

I just recently bought 2 Sundown Audio sa-15 dual 4 ohm coils. I absolutely love them. I put them in a 7^3 foot box tuned at 35 hz and they get stupid loud. I was wondering what type of amp to get for them? I'm currently running an mtx 81001d @ 1 ohm but i feel like they want more power. I was looking at getting an SAZ-1500D V.2 but i'm always open to better amps. Any input would be great. Help??

Sup SSA! I'm lookin at DC Lvl 4xl m2 18's (Fully Loaded) or Custom Built Psi Platform 3 18's. Space and power isn't a option. Will be running 3000-3300rms.I'm trying to get loud, good 150's, real low & hi bass, and a all day ground pounding system. Is Psi good and do they get LOUD!! and are built good with top notch parts? Do they hold any records or have vids? Im stuck between the 2 and I need a lil help. Sorry for long thread.. Thanks Heres Site: http://psicaraudio.com/

So I'm still new to car audio and dont know all the terms or how everything works. There are two things I'm still not sure about. 1) When you set amp gains, are you actually changing the amount of power coming from the amp? As in, if I have a 1000rms amp, by setting the gains lower can I actually just put out 500rms to the sub? I've heard mixed responses, but that you are always putting out what ever the amp is rated at. Because if this is the case, can't you run like a 2000 watt amp on stock electrical, but then just dial it back to like 800 rms or so? 2) What does "full tilt mean"? Is that just volume all the way up (before clipping I'm guessing) Thanks!

I don't know why I was just thinking about this, but since so many people seem to be so impressed by trunks shaking, wipers bouncing, door panels flapping, and all the resonance and noise that some sound systems produce in the vehicles we drive, I just felt like throwing this out there... Is it just me, or do some vehicles seem to be more willing to do these kind of things than others? Everything has its natural resonance frequency and has the ability to shake, flex, rattle, or anything else it may feel like doing. That being said, I've seen plenty of vehicles with extremely loud setups, and killer bass inside the vehicle, yet while standing out side and observing, they…
