General Audio

hi, I just got a Kenwood DVD player with monitor (KVT-819 DVD) and when i tested it, i do get the sound but the screen is not showing any video. It is still at the playback menu but i see no buttons to press to show the movie. anyone familiar with Kenwood DVD player? thanks.

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,…

I was curious to how it sounds and performs to get input with out having to do it and then tear it apart if its not what I want! So if you know anyone that has done it or you have heard it please share your input!

I just picked up a set of ascendant audio carbon 6.5 and tweeters. They did not come with crossovers. Im switching to a kenwood ddx371 or Pioneer avh4200. Well either one have the crossovers internally to run them or could passive crossovers work and if passive is a better option than the head units listed which crossovers would be best. Thank you for you time as all I have had in the past is coaxial speakers and since ordering two 12" DSS Ethos and a bc3500 I know the rest needs upgraded. Also my mtx te404 amp running high/mid and is extremely limited on setting the crossover. Thank you

I personally choose the lighter fluid/gasoline way It burned steady for about 10 minutes at this height before shrinking down a bit. (It was filled with some kindling and logs) (The guy next to it is about 6 ft tall) How about the rest of you?

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

and zane and the rest of the old school SSA boys? we need to track them down again

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…

These are a few pictures of my system now. I am going to be completely redoing the whole thing, and adding another RE XXX 12" and an 2 RE 36.1s. Here they are::::

pioneer deh-p400ub hu pioneer ts-c720prs comps 1- ss rl-i8 kicker 700.5 have 2 rolls of raamaat and mdf baffles goin in my 02 xtreme blazer also.

IM doing a backseat box for a 07 dodge charger and just wanted to know the best direction to fire in? My original idea was to have subs inverted firing up and port up and no I don't want to wall it because im plannning on doing some fancy fiberglassing in the back seat. Im also not going to compete this is just a loud daily driver will be 2 18 zcons on a 5k amp. Just want to know optimal firing direction and the trunk will also be sealed off.

Ant at Second Skin just got about $450 and the guys at Knu around $250. Bulk pack of Damplifier Pro and 4 sheets of Lux Liner Pro. That should be enough for a King Cab I would think. 50' of 1/0 KLMX, 40' of 4ga KLMX, 20' of Karma 10ga speaker wire, 100' of Karma 16ga and 2 pairs of Klarity 4m RCAs. All wiring hardware is getting reused from the previous system and is Stinger Xpert. Build log will begin in about a month.

I have a kinda small box for a ported 6 1/2" Bose woofer. It sounds alright, but i can't fit much more in the bag. I was wondering if polyfill would have somehat of the same effect in a ported box as it would in a sealed box. I did want to ask the difference in effect, between stuffing and padding, because i have heard of both being used. I am looking to shift the tuning down a little bit.

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.

Hi Guys, Having some issues and need some help. I recently found a Audison bit one at $178 and the price was really attractive. The down side is it does not come with the DRC, CD and the USB cable.My worry is with out the DRC would it be convenient unless i don't change settings?CD - i manage to download the software online but will it be able to use?USB - is this the normal USB which we can find in stores?Would appreciate your help to leave some comment and to clear my doubt.Thank you in advance.

Well, another essential piece of equipment for the Royal Regal project showed up today... Ah yes, the beautiful Diamond Audio D7056. Enjoy:

This is going to go in a 07 or 08 dodge charger cause i have to ditch my beloved truck. So far i plan i running 3 10" Q's in the trunk in a IB setup. That is about as far as I have gotten cause I have no experience at all when it comes to setting up speakers for mids and highs. Before I would just throw 6x8's in and go, want to do it right this time. Music wise, I listen to, literally, everything. I really enjoy listening to heavy metal, techno, and rap probably the most though. I just want some really good clean sounding speakers cause my current setup, everything seems muddy to me, almost distorted. Back to point, can someone point me in the direction of where to…

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

Does anybody that lives in Las Vegas because I need a box for my 15 inch FI BL?

Im trying to learn more about hlcd's and I only know of two brand which is illusion audio ch 1 and the krypt audio one. The illusion audio is cheaper but I cant find a website to even purchase them. Can someone just do me a favor and just post some links to different brands of HLCD's?

Got some of these in.. and I was pretty impressed. I was so impressed I put it up to the ultimate sound deadner stress test.... a proper pint. The foil is crazy stiff. They come in 6" x 10" pieces.

I have a 2014 Ford F150 with sync and the 4.2 screen of which there are no options for aftermarket stuff anyways. I cant find a unit that will plug into the factory harness. I could do this and buy a headunit but I dont want too http://www.amazon.com/Metra-99-5830B-2013-Up-Factory-4-2-Inch/dp/B00FDW51C2 I was going to buy this untill I saw that is was only good untill 2012. And upon further reading there is nothing for the 2013 and 2014s http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId=548&Cate.. So now I am not sure what to do to get my pre amps. I found this but this is for a new stereo, not pre amps.... http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120AXAFD…

This is supposed to be some of the new '06 lineUtopia Audio Forum

Hi guys, I've been a member here for quite a while and every time I needed help with anything audio you guys know exactly what's best and offer the best advice. With that being said, I'mtrying to figure out what's best to put in a 2011 Chevy Silverado LT Crew cab under the back seat. I've found pre made boxes online for 10s and 12s, but I can't figure out what sub to pick. Nothing crazy, I don't even plan to hit over 1000Watts with two 12s. I was looking for input on what you guys would suggest? Note: probably going to be powered with what's I'm my closet (Alpine m1000). Also, if you guys know of an enclosure you think would be best definitely post it. Thanks!
