General Audio

i was browsing through the internet at different car audio companys and i saw one called audioque and a 3500 watt amp for 549 does anyone know much about this product?

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 just bought a zv5 15 thinking it was dual 2 ohm and it’s dual 1 ohm. I have a few questions. First, can it be recone to dual 2? Because I read some motors are only configured to function on the original impedance. Idk. And if I can’t get it recone, can I run that amp at .5 ohm unclipped on that zv5 and not overpower it? Should I run it at 2 ohms? I hope it can be reconed to dual 2. In need of help. Thank u.

For my third build (ever) iv decided to go with 2 ssa evils..reason being, i wanted run somthing unique and new.i just recently heard of the evil and iv already fell inlove with it..i currently have one (so far) and i got to say im really impressed with it! cant wait to run two..waiting for friday to come so i can order its brother,,

hey guys i have 18in fi BL dual 1ohm being powed by JBl gto 1200 amp and just wanted to make sure i get a speaker wire that will allow enough flow of power and still fit. any help i'd appreciate it.

I'm looking for options for sub placement so I can keep as much of my trunk as possible (because I haul a ton of sh*t). My spare tire well hasn't been used since I did my deadening and to me it's just wasted space. My question is how do spare tire well installs sound? I've seen tons of them, but never heard one in person. Any other options so that I can retain as much trunk space as possible? And FYI, I'm planning on a simple 10" or 12", nothing too crazy.

Forgive me if there is another thread of the same subject but I can't find it and using my wii is painfully slow. Does anyone know when the woofer by AA and He Who Shalt Not Be Named (Ess em dee) is supposed to be released? I was trying to find pricing for a friend. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you call these types of clips/fastener, but I need some. Anyone know where I can purchase a few.

Seems to be hard for me to find wiring diagrams for my setup. I have a single DVC 1 ohm sub, and a 2 ohm mono channel amp. Right now it's wired at .5 ohm and the amp or sub is cutting out at around 3/5 way up, not sure if it's the subs or the amp because the protect light does not come on, but it acts as if it goes into protect. I decided to wire to over 2 ohms. This would be wired from amp + to sub + amp - to sub - sub + to - for a 2 ohm load, or a 4 ohm? 2 right? Also, the amp has dual outputs, and i've read that I can wire up further by using both output terminals.

I found this picture of this sub but couldn't get a picture of the top view to get the name of it

Hey guys! I drive a Ford Expedition and I pretty much made up my mind on my upgrade. Now I have two Diamond Audio d6 components in the front and two d6 coaxials in the rear powered by Diamond Audio d3 500.4 amp, runing 4 guage power and ground wires to the amp. I currently have two Diamond audio d3 15 inch woofers powered by Mmats 2000.1. I want to replace the subs with four Ascendant Audio Havocs and having two Mmats 3500.1 powering them or should I get two 18's instead with one of the Mmats amps powering them. The box is going to be ported tuned at 32hz. I'm more into sq but I also want to feel the bass in my bones when I need to lol. I listen to a wide range of music. …

Just a general question for clarification. I have a single dual 2 ohm subwoofer wired to 1 ohm. If I connect it to 2 1 ohm amps that are strapped, will the sub still see 1 ohm or 2? If it is still 1 ohm, does this mean that the amps will be running at .5 ohms each?

if i'm planning on putting an aq2200d to a fi btl 12 daily 2ohm wired to a 1ohm load and ive done the big three and planning on adding 2nd battery in trunk the box is 2.5ft3 tuned to 35 would i be safe with my stock alt its 110amps at idle and 160 @2000rpm?

Short story, bought a new amp locally, it makes my subs murderlize my back window (SUV) About how much did you guys spend on deadening? I'm thinking of doing my front doors, the driver's and passenger's floors and the back hatch. I've never done this before so I don't know how much of anything I need and really don't wanna overkill. I will get some measurements this weekend but I'm just looking for input right now. Probably gonna use SDS unless somebody comes in with something cheaper that's butyl and effective.

so my buddy is really cheap, hes not into heavy bass but does like a little bit, but like i said realy a big cheap sk8, hes been looking on amazon at amps and subs/enclosures, hes been looking at Dual-Pyle-Pyramid-Boss-Lanzar-Planetaudio-Mtx-etc...(huno cheap stuff), i told him to hold off give me a couple of days see what i can come up with, he wants 12's but i thank he might go for some 10's, remember hes a cheap $#@, hes looking to spend around 200-250, again hes cheap if you have any suggestions (besides quiting beeing cheap) or have something youd part with, fell free to text me Samuel 970-599-4197 or him Joe 970-388-5652 (hell just ask me what i thank so itll come b…

So i just got this new Lexus for graduation, we've got the loaded 15' FIBL in it, and now going to upgrade to the 1500D this weekend...what kind of numbers do you think i should be ranging? Competition is coming up in a few weeks, and i want to see if i can get a few more DB's than last time- because i only was running a PR.500 . So any suggestions?

Im getting an Optima yellow top on sunday for a good deal.I also hear that the batcaps are magnificient also and out of sight.My question is should I get 2 optimas or get one optima and a couple of batcap 800's.I dont know how many batcap 800's im getting because they are so small.

This truck was owned/built/operated by my good friend since, 2003. I've been a part of it, since 2008. Has seen MANY, MANY builds. Truck hasn't been under a 160 in almost 10 years at this point. I have the chance to buy it, and bring it back into the game. It's NOT, the prettiest, but I'll be cleaning it up alot. And I'll get it louder than it ever was before. Last setup was 4 DD 9918' Super Charged on 4 DD M4's with 8 NSB 90's. Burped at 162.2@51Hz with 16,000w Street Beated 159.9 dropping to 11v Also did, 159.0@25Hz 159.7@28HZ And 160+ from 30Hz-60Hz My plan is 4 DD9918' Super Charged on 4 M4b's with 4 XS Power Lithium 12v batts. I will be taking delivery of…

Has anyone ever had a chance to hear a set of Perfect8's? Was just doing a search on glass speaker enclosures as I think a BTL with a TI basket would look obscene in a lexan or glass enclosure, however impractical; and I ran across Perfect8. They are gorgeous, especially the Force; and knowing youtube can do any speaker no justice, I was curious if they really live up to that offensive price tag. http://www.perfect8.com/force.htm

does anyone know how to and if you can, carbon fiber panels?

ive build a few boxs for the lower line subs and they really blow me away. i cant wait to hear there other lines, ive also heard there comps 6.5 and it was sounding awesome for the price.... i do custom work for a audio store that sales orion, crossfire, dei, ppi, lanzar, treo, and just about anything you want. so i can get very good deals on all of them, but im going to go with POWERBASS in both of my cars.... im putting 2-15pbx with optidrive2000d in my car and 2-10 pbx(sq) with optidrive500.2 in my wifes car.... :boink: :denim: id like to thank denim and trixter jamie

I got done (for now) sound deadening my truck today, and when testing, I noticed there was still a bit of a rattle coming from some unknown location. I put my hand on a bunch of metal panels, sat on the box, nothing. Finally, I decided I would wait till daylight to really diagnose the problem. Later, I put a shirt over the port to see how much air was moving... The sound stopped. I removed the shirt, it started again. Did it a couple more times and the same thing happened... Am I missing something, or do I just need to dress up ( ) my box for it to want to work properly? I'm stumped.

I need 15/0 AWG size who makes it? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Haha, did i make you think i was retarded for a minute or just straight crazy?, hehe No but seriously, does anyone know where i can get 2/0 or maybe even 3/0 wire? Also, I would need to know anyone who makes battery terminals for these sizes and or the following- fused distribution capability non fused distro capability 2/0 to 1/0 reducers or 3/0 to 1/0 reducers. Reasoning- Lanzar's engineers should be smacked in the face for being retarded. They released a 6000D, 6,000w amp with ONLY 1 set of power and ground terminals! Hifonics Goliath is only a 5kw amp and it has 2 sets! Anyways,…

Hey guys Im in need of some advice. I'm currently piecing together a setup which will be in a Trailblazer SS. So far I have my two BL 15s fully loaded (newer versions), JL 0/1 awg, and will be powered by a Crescendo BC3500d. I plan on buying a mechman 240 alt, xs power 3400 for under the hood and 3100 for out back. I'll probably have car tunes build my since they did a great job last time. I'm aware I should be running dual 0/1 for the batteries so I will but what else am I missing or should also do? Currently have 12 awg for the subs, should I go bigger? Also will my battery setup work fine at idle without crazy voltage drop? What about dual amp inputs? Any help and advi…
