I wonder if I am gonna use 2000 watts to run a Fi 18" BT, will I need a new HO alt, or new battery, after the fact of the Big 3. Also I want to ask, if I decide to just get rid of my rear 6x9's and just upgrade my front stage will I be able to just put all of the power from the head unit into 2 speakers so that I wont have to run another amp? I also wouldn't mind if someone could help me find a amp that could handle 2000 watts RMS at 1 ohm

Hi, I'm a new member and need your help. I have my extreme SQ system all planned out and just need to make the connections between everything. My budget for wire is about $1000 and $1500 for RCA cables. I want the really good SQ ones so my amps can really deliver well. I don't want to loose any of my SQ along the way. Please recommend the best withing my budget and post links if you have them. Oh, and here's my system: Dual HU (with the enhansed dolphin backflip mod) Pyle 7-way 6x9 coaxials (x6) Rampage 18" Superslammer 2000's (x4) in a 26cuft ported tuned to 19hz Audison Thesis HV Venti (x2) ~ fronts and rear doors, vertically biamped Brax Graphic 2000.2 (x2) ~ brid…

ok, so my system is actually starting to come together. i still do not know as much as i should to own a btl.. but i bought it thinking i did to relize when i got on here how deep i got my self into when i purchased it. i never really relized how amazing this woofer really is until everyone on this amazing forum have taught me. now i know most subs are held down with regular screws but how should i mount my sub. my friend has an 18 inch q and keeps breaking screws, whats a good way to secure my sub down without breaking screws left and right. and my last question is would my electrical hold up with one Deka Intimidator Battery 9A31 and the big 3 for a rf t30001bd ?? any …

Looking for some ideas.

i had the fosgate t1001 amp old model not new,i was wondering how the saz1000 is comapible to that amp?the saz1000 is 279 dollars and i payed a shit load for my amp a few years ago from audio express 899 dollars to be exact lol a dam dollar a watt,thats why its hard to believe they do same power....

I am rebuilding my system and am going to start with my front stage. I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and listen mostly to rock, rap, and trance. It will be a daily driver and I am focused on SQ for the time being. I will be purchasing a pxa-h701 so I can run a 3 way active front stage and sub if I have the need to. I am also taking into consideration a 2 way front if that will work better. I have decided on kicks for the highs and mids, and the door for the midbass, but they will be crossed low. If I do a two way, I will just do the kicks. I need some recommendations for speakers, but I have been looking at HAT, Morel, Dayton, and Scanspeak. I am especially interested in…

i dont see very many videos on the xcon,i know they are fairly new speakers.does anyone know the differwnce in spl and LOUD SOUND QUALITY between the two?whats your choice?

I've got a leftover system that was in my truck, that I'm going to be putting into my car. I'm not sure what the general opinion on my equipment is, though....I've got a Phoenix Gold Octane R DVC 12" sub, in a ported box right now (tuned to 37hz), and a Audio Systems Twister F4>380 4-channel amp. (http://www.audiosystem-america.com/f4380.html) What are your guys' opinion on this? I'm not sure of the RMS of the sub, so would it be safe to bridge 2 channels for each coil, or should I just run it as a 4-channel amp? If I do that, then I can also use it to power a set of door speakers.

I have been looking every where for loose fiberglass strands or kitty hair but all I seem to find is matts. Any one know where I can find it?

My wiring kit manuel says make sure fuse is not in before connection to battery So i hooked the battery up and put the fuse on and the fucker sparked and almost shocked the crap outa me Now i assume im supposed to unhook the - terminal first then install it?

My phone won't let my upload pictures is it just my phone or is something wrong with the website?

ok here is what I have planned Alpine Type X SPX 177a tweets RE 6.5 midbass/midrange----both fully active from the P9 combo ran off of the MS1000TA (340x4) the Brahma 15(3.0 cubes sealed) 1 ohm off the Revolution 1500.1(1580x1 @1 ohm) alittle under 3K watts of SQ what do ya think?

Currently in my car I have a pair of Alpine SPR-13Ss (http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/spr-13s/), and I also have an 18" SSD @ 32hz in a 9cuft box. The SSD is extremely loud, and depending on the song, tends to drown out my fronts. So I was looking at trying to run some pro audio so I can get a clear and loud front stage that can be heard over my sub. I was reading some threads, and saw these tweets: Selenium ST350 Super Tweeter I'm sure they will more than outperform my current tweeters. I was also looking at this midbass: Selenium 10PW3-SLF 10" Driver The only problem with 10" midbass is making custom pods for my doors. I have never done anything like that, and w…

Is there a difference between a LLC and a LOC? (Line Level Converter & Line Output Converter)

So here goes. Well I decided one day to tear out the center console in my truck with the intention of putting a new one in there.. Well 3 years later.. still no center console. So thats where it brings me up to pretty much till last weekend. Last week end I got bored and decided to start putting it together again I dug out the mounting brackets and started brain storming that it would be better to build one rather than buy one so i could build it to my specs and add a few things. So to give you an idea what kinda vehicle its going in is a 2002 F250 with the diesel engine. So Im sure as long as I dont go crazy my electrical system will be fine. The only thing I have done t…

The glue or whatever has loosened and the window moves perhaps a millimeter either way and rattles super bad. Discovered basshead radio on iOS yesterday. How can I resucure the window? It does not have to be pretty. My hatch window is spray foamed in place. 98 mountaineer (explorer)

Are these banana clips for the inside of the box terminal or the out side?

Ok i've heard of this problem before: everytime my amp gets power and turns on (when i turn my key to acc or further) my subwoofer makes a small popping sound. I saw that installing an inline remote switch on the remote wire would do the trick. Will this work and can anyone give me a link to a nice and simple one please? And also is this a threat to the integrity to my subwoofer because if it is i have to make sure i do this ASAP.? Thanks

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 1976 BMW 2002 and I would like to outfit it with a nice system. The car itself is a little restricting due to the amount of noise it makes and its size. My main question is about power consumption. Right now the car has the stock alternator in which produces either 35a or 45a, I'm not sure which. How much amperage would I need to run a little 10" sub such as the SA-10 and a set of front speakers run off of an amp? The mounting location accepts what appears to be a 4" speaker. I would also like to get some opinions on a real good set of 4" speakers for lets say around $200, a little more wouldn't kill me but I'd like to keep it relative…

I'm currently running a fi audio sp4 15 at. 5 ohms with a hifonics brz. 1700 amp. I have a 350 amp alt and a xs power d3400 under the hood and i'm still having problems with my voltage, when the sub hits hard i drop from 14.5 to 11.7volts at some points, what else do i need? More batteries or is it the alternator? The alt was bought of ebay from BnR parts. Just wondering if i should send the alt back and look for a new alt. And if i did send it back what amp alternator should i be looking for? I plan to get a crescendo 3500 within the next few months.
