General Audio

Is it possible? Can anyone give me a link to good site with some info on this?

Does anyone here listen to corridors? My uncle is wanting a system and we are trying to figure out what enclosure will work best. The equipment that will be used is a 10 inch kicker CVR (2010 model) and a jl audio 250 watt 2 channel amp.. lol ..

i have two blown CVR's......they still play a little, like when you put 250 or more watts through them them sound decent. how much are they worth?

Simply, would cotton work at all in the same way as polyfill? I know one is meant for it and one is sure as hell not, but I have pounds of cotton and a wretched internet connection so roaming the internet isnt an option for the rest of the week. All I need is a yes or no, and a brief why. I was staring at a pile of cotton from dog-shredded pillows, and got to wondering.

I have been thinking a lot lately :nono and I just might sell the rl-p. I am close to getting a new car (possibly this beauty) and am now tihnking a 15" rl-p is just too much. The box and sub weigh around 100 lbs which is way more than you want in the trunk of a 540. Not to mention I don't want this car to fal apart on me. I could probably sell the rl-p and my box locally for over $400 which would then give me some more money for the car and maybe even a little 12" set up to hold me over for awhile. If i sell my nine1 with it I could probably get $700-750, which would definitely help with some mods (read:updated lights) for the 5er. Maybe I'm crazy, but I am really c…

Their is going to be a sound comp in my city on June 12th. They have a meter. But they want to use two of their random songs they pick for spl and sq. It's understandable for the sq part of the sound off. But the same song for the spl part? I want to use tones. They are just going to pick music. Which if the song has a 30hz bass line. If I'm tuned to 40hz and play it, my subsonic filter would just cut it out. One guy said "Thats not how it works at a normal sound off. Everyone uses the same track. That's how it's been at every other sound-off I have attended. this isn't my first." What should I say?

ok ill star with this, i have been googling alot so please help 1) does anyone know the true RMS of these amps @1ohm and @.5ohm SAZ-2500d DC 2k DC1.2k CRESCENDO BC2000, BC3500, BC5500 2) im hoping i might be able to get into competting, i dont uderstand how they rate the power in the stock classes, some help here would nice to be honest i dont have alot of money to spend on amps/subs, only like 1200 give or take a lil, i have a 94 ford explorer xlt 4.0/v6 already did a big3 0awg, going to up grade to HO alt., and a couple of batterys avalable space is 40W x 18H x 36D 3) these are some of the subs ive been looking at DC L2/L3 12" SKAR VVX 12"/15" SA 12"/15" SSA DCON/ICON 1…

This first part is how having the correct crossover makes a world of difference in how a subwoofer setup sounds. When I first set up my amp for my new sub I put the crossover on 80 hz because I had heard that was the general concensus for a decent starting position. I left it there for a few years and I figured everything was good. Then I think one day last year I got bored and just played around with my front stage, seeing if I would want a 3 way setup or something. Sometime during that I turned my crossover up to 100 hz on my sub and forgot about it. A year passed and I hadn't really noticed it until lately I played some Crystal Method and I was like man, my sub su…

Sorry for the massive pics. Deal with it.

I currently have a 12" FI BL in my car with a US Amps MD1D. I am looking at maybe putting another one in and I have a few questions. How big should the box be? FI recomends 2.5 cu. for one so when you have 2 do you double that? I have a dual 2 ohm so I would get another dual 2. I have a Hifonics 1206D sittin around so should I use that or buy a amp that is .5ohm stable? Like a Lazar Opti2000D. Or a big amp that can give around 2000 watts at 2 ohm. Would I need a bigger alt. current one is 120amps and I have a Kinetic 1400 batt. in the front and am going to look into getting a smaller batt. for the trunk.

Well first sorry for making a somewhat new thread, I thought it wasnt reasonable to keep my questions going on the Fi Technical zone. Maybe I can get more help here I have a problem which Im trying to solve. Basically, Im trying to set my gains right, however, I dont have DMM or O-Scope so I have to do it by ear. Pioneer TS-W3002D4 @ 2ohms 1k RMS 12" Sundown 2000D @ 2ohms 1k RMS Rockford Fosgate 4-gauge kit Factory HU using RCA with Line Output Converter. Stock amp, no Big 3 No Bass Boost on Amp. No Bass Boost on Headunit. Everything Flat.

Here a few videos of my FIQ 15. I'll try to get some better and longer videos tomorrow. and heres a few pics of the beast Mods this is my first time posting here so if this is in the proper section please move it for me then.

So is there any way for me to be able to get my 8ga speaker wire once doubled to fit in my btl terminals? I can't seem to get it to fit in amp or sub terminals, also I have an Audioque 2200d powering my btl which has four wire ports can I combine the two+ and the two- into the+ and- on box or what would be my best bet?...thanks

I want to test the cranking amps of my batteries... Does anyone know what equipment i can buy to do that?

i just started on this project..... 8-12" P series subs from orion w/2-2500d amps also orion in a ford experdition.....

Today on the ride home from work I was streaming Pandora through my head unit with my Galaxy S4 via aux jack when all speakers but the front left and subs quit playing. I tried music stored on my phone and everything went back to normal. 1st thought was an app issue with Pandora, so I tried Slacker and got the same results. Back to the stored music.... fine again. I then tried streaming both apps through Bluetooth and everything played fine. Wtf could cause this??? If it was a problem within the phone or aux cable, shouldn't the stored music do the same?

Hey guys I'm trying to make some test tones with Adobe Audition so I can calibrate my amp as well as my head unit. I'm using the highest sample rate in the program, 192,000, and I'm using 32 bit resolution. So I'm assuming this is the highest quality audio I can get off the computer. Anyways my question is which format should I save them as? I know that mp3 is a lossy format, and the program has like 20 different ones I can choose. The other thing is I have to able to put them onto a burnable cd, so I'm assuming that limits me to just mp3 and wav. But the program lists about 5 different wav formats, so which one should I choose? Any help would be appreciated. A/mu-Law Wav…

Has anyone owned or used the creative zen mp3 players? I am considering the X-Fi2 touchscreen model as an alternative to an iPod (i've had 6 iPods; all of em broke) Main concerns are sound quality, how loud it can get, and functionality. I will be pairing it with a pair of DD headphones. Thanks, --Chris

saw a post on @sublifecrew on instagram today showing pictures of a 10k by crescendo named the encore 10k. It looks flawless. Any one have any info on it?

Anybody remember what these guys sold for new? What would one in good condition be worth used??? Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there I own a crescendo bc 3500 and someone has offered to trade their sound quebed 4500 for my BC 3500 is this a fair trade or a mistake ?

So I will be pairing the 4 ohm Crescendo STS-1 Silk dome tweeters with 4ohm Crescendo PWX 6.5's . The tweeters came with crossovers just for the tweeters. Amp is a nvx jad800.4 which does 125 x 4 @ 4 ohms. if I have the pwx's hooked up to channels 1 & 2, can I connect the tweeters on channel 3 & 4 and essentially barely increase the input sensitivity on those channels? Doesn't seem accurate whatsoever to me and I am thinking I could seriously fry my tweeters from the get go. Would that still be considered going passive with tweeter crossovers or am I diving into active territory? Am I better off getting a different passive crossover that I can connect both pwx &a…

These tweeter just came out , since I'm done with my sub setup I want to work on my front stage, I'm thinking of getting 2 pairs of these for my front doors. Right now I have mb quart components runing of an amp , it sounds good but I want it louder. So Anyone that has bought and ran these let me know how they sound and work for you.

www.criticalmassaudio.com Man, I remember these guys from back in the day. I bought one of their 15s when I saw them in Shaq's Astro van. Good product. Apparently they've been brought back to life by parent ICON. Seem to have some very promising products coming out. I remember a test on those electrostats by CSR back in the day. AWESOME! Check out the site!

well as some of you may know i had alpine type R components, but from the flex of the back deck, it broke my cross overs, im going to leave the rear fill empty but i would like to find a pair of cross overs to keep with these speakers... incase i wanna sell them.. or i buy another lincoln i have a set ready, my question is, what should i be looking for while shopping? i see all kinds... but no type R's..... so i ask does it matter?
