General Audio

I current own a 15” Fi Q and am in the process of upgrading to a 15” IA Death Penalty. Need some info (help) on how to deaden my truck, what should I used, what areas to deaden and the cost of materials. I drive a 2000 Dodge Dakota so for the most part, am just thinking that I may only need to deaden the back panel (the rear is gutted), sides, doors and possible the roof (if it’s absolutely necessary). I saw a guy on here with 2 18s in a dakota but didn’t find him while searching, hoping he can chime in. Any input would be great. Thanks

http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/danleyport.asp?ID=33 The most powerful semi-mobile subwoofer in the world. Can create tones of 94db from a 15-20hz sine wave, up to 250 meters (820ft) away. Can play 15hz tone at 140db 24hours a day 7 days a week without electricity due to a generator it has inside. 40 15" subwoofers and 40,000 watts self generated power.. Pretty impressive. I found it pretty interesting.. Anyone heard of this company/ subwoofer room?

It was a nice day, and the shop is closed on sunday so I decided to break out the old TL and do some testing. At the moment, the ports I am using are for testing purposes, just form tube, no fibreglass enforcement or even flares for that matter, so I know there is still more I can squeeze out of this. All testing was done with Two 15" Icons on a Crescendo 3500d (At 2 ohms keep in mind). Pretty basic electrical with only a single kinetik 1400 as a second battery. First Test : 6.cuft / 8" formtube tuned to ~27hz 30hz - 137.94db 35hz - 139.19db 40hz - 141.53db 44hz - 143.20db 46hz - 143.52db Second Test : 6cuft / 8" formtube tuned to ~ 33hz 30hz - 138.23db 35hz - 14…

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

I am getting back in the game again! I have never done a trunk build before but had a few 150db + systems before so I'm looking for some answers. I have an 05 Nissan Sentra and I want to do a "trunk wall" build. I want to run two 15s and I want to play some nasty lows an move tons of air and be in the mid to high 140s. I'm considering the Dayton UM15-22 in a sealed enclosure around 6.5 cubes on 2-3k. I'm just curious if anyone have any input on these subs for car audio applications! I am interested because they play very low an they prefer sealed enclosures. I'm just wondering how they will perform in a car audio environment!

has anyone owned one of there alts and what do you thing if you have???

Im looking into to upgrading to a high output alternator. I was searching high output alternators for 1999 ford contour and found db electrical. they sell a 220A alt for 239 plus like 20 shipping. i think thats reasonable but id like to know if its worth it. anyone have any experience with db electrical alternators? also open to suggestions on other places to look. i have a 1999 ford contour 4 cyclinder 2.0 liter. id ike to keep the cost around 2-300 but i can probably go a little higher if i have to.

I cant find who sells these theres no dealers around here..Does anyone know the price of the dc lvl 4 12 inch woofers?

I am honestly very frustrated with people that I have never heard of starting comments on any kind of social website.

I will be completely honest with everyone, not too long, we were extremely disorganized from growing at a rate that has been over 200%+ growth year after year.

Hi guys. I have a DC Audio XL 12 on the way and would like suggestions on the enclosure. Its only gonna get 500 watts. I'm thinking a t-line will help me get pretty loud with the limited power. Max dimensions are 38w 32h 32d. It will be in my blazer cargo area. Thanks in advance and if you need any other info just ask.

Hello just a quick question. I have 2 dd 10s 2500s and i am swapping amps out i got a phoenix gold ms-2125 I am really wanting to use this amp on my set up but i have a diamond d1001 currently should i leave the diamond in or replace it with PG ? I got a good deal on the PGs.Thanks

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 purchased a dd-1 years ago and recently i purchased a dso nano oscilloscope, for half the price of the dd-1, and decided to do a little testing... I used them both on both of my amps and this is what i got on both amps. clearly the dd-1 shows that there is no "distortion" yet there is some soft clipping, which can be seen much easier from the picture i took closer. i did not have to turn the gain down much more to get a round wave. so, my conclusion is that if people want to set their gains with tones than they should save some money and just buy a dso nano.

I have a 2006 Mazda3 and a Kenwood DDX470 headunit. I also have Infinity 6829CF door speakers in my front doors, with stock speakers in the rear. Lastly, I have a Hifonics Brutus 1600.1D amplifier powering two Kicker CVX 10's at 1,200RMS @ 2Ohms. My problem is when I crank up my music, car on or off (but more so when the car is off), the radio will sometimes turn off and restart. My radio goes up to 35 on the volume wheel, with 32 being my self set distortion limit. I'm not sure it's really the song that matters, but I can crank up a song with a lot of bass to 32, and after beating away for 10 seconds or sometimes even less, the radio will just restart and then work nor…

Well, thus far I've been using Raammat and love it. No complaints about the product at all, and Rick is an awesome guy to deal with. But, I've used up all 125sqft, and now it's time to get some more deadening. I can get more Raammat BXT (62.5sqft) for $99 + shipping. But, I was also looking into Second Skin since I've never used them before, and their "B-stock" items seem to be pretty decent prices. I was looking at the 5 gallon Spectrum B-stock for $189 (plus gun for $15 more), the preorder HazMat for $145 for 100sqft, and I was also sort of eyeing the 5ga of Sludge for $239. What I'm looking for is superior vibration dampening/panel reinforcement along with the …

What's the difference between these, what would be the best ?

What is more important to place deadner on? The outer layer of the door? Or the inner metal where the speaker mounts?

Wasn't sure where to put this, so admin feel free to move. I keep hearing about Decaf and some zip files and that its really low tuned music. Could someone point me in the right direction? Where do I find it, what do I use to download it? is the quality good?

What happened to the free downloads zips

I've been pondering this for a while.... Should I sell the RL-p 12" and pick up 4 RL-i 8's instead and run the amp at 2 ohms, giving each 8 ~250W? Thoughts?
