Hello I am again the forum and would like to know voltage Work sundown or evidence they have done with them As to who I worked with a call suono and is very similar but I want your opinions thanks

Ok so I go to my favorite store locally and research what brands they have. I go in today with my list. I wanted 2 jl audio 10w1v3, hertz dieci 6.5" comps, Kenwood x998, all dash kits and that stuff. So they had a big sale this weekend and were out of 10w1v3's and dieci comps. So I end up buying two jl 10w0v3 and hertz energy esk 165.5. I got all my stuff with tax and head unit and dash kit and interface for my truck. $596 total Kenwood x998 $199 jl audio 10w0v3 $75x2 hertz energy esk 165.5 $150 stinger RCA cables Pac dodge interface $65

i got this from my boss. he said it worked great, but when he went on vacation he unplugged it. (in case of storms) and when he plugged it back in, it didn't work. it was free, i'mma take it to the shop up the road and see what it'll cost to fix. it was free so i couldn't pass it up. the back says 350W. does anyone know anything about it? is it any good? well here's the pics...

Alright, i have been looking around few days, and i get a lot of different answers about capacitor. Some people say that they are for ricers who like LEDs, others say that you need it to supply power. and third group says that it will mess your system up. So whats the deal do you need it or now and why ? Why do they make them at all then. I think that you don't really need one because amplifiers already have necessary capacitors.

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.

Hi all, it’s been a while and I want to try SSA again. Had an XCON 15 for 3 years then sold it. At the moment I currently own two Stereo Integrity "SQL" 15, single 15 Adire Brahma, and two 10s RF power T1. I saw the Zcon 12 on SSA website and wanted to see them in action but couldn’t find any vids on YouTube for that model. Anyone in here own that newer model and what are your thoughts on the SQ. I’m mainly looking for a clean SQ driver that can get brutal when want to and doesn’t sound distorted/mechanical noise.

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?

what do you think about memphis 6x8 speakers? what do you think about jvc head units?

I keep telling a buddy of mine to go with Fi instead of a Circuit City MTX Jack Hammer Box with 2 12" subs. Please give me some advice or videos for me to give him. Fi BL 15" vs 2 12" Jackhammer series MTX subs. I am giving him my Hifonics Bx1606d amp so he has power and he has room for both. Any advice would be great. If you have a 15" Fi BL vid please show it off. Thanks.

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?

Hey I was wondering if anyone here had made a enclosure or kick panels with fiberglass and had luck with it. I don't really know where to start or what works and what dosen't. I want to build a box for a sub or maybe some kick panels because Im getting borded with just plain boxes and want to build something unique. What do I need to buy and where can I get the materials? Are there any web sites that would help me? What do you use to cover the fiberglass after you lay it? Is it just plain bondo? I have never used fiber glass before, but I know my way around a shop just want to expand my horizons. Any info would help a lot.

i dont get how you are supposed to be able to use the two ohm option on most four channels amps. mostly the speakers usd for front stage come in 4ohm and they are not dvc so if i run them in parrallel two sets of speakers would be runnin at 1ohm each right? i know there are 2ohm 6.5 speakers out there but its like searchin for a ghost. and i have never seen a dvc 6.5. besides i have enough 6.5's layin around to last for a lifetime. so how do you get the most out of a four channel amp that does say 75x4 @4ohm and 125@2ohm?

I've searched, and all the topics i've found are for trunks, which you can bolt, or use velcro. My box will be taking up 2 of the 3 rear seats, and i can't bolt it, and i also don't think i can velcro without ruining the seats. I was thinking L brackets, but i need something more flexible than that to make it to the rear panel of the truck cab. Suggestions?

getting a lincoln town car,, so now i have massive amounts of trunk area, should i still get 2 15's and just build a huge ass box???? or get 3 15's....ugh more money

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.

i guess should post here. i want something LOUD and i want a ported box. im not really concerened too much about sound quality as much as just solid pounding bass. i wanna run at least 1500-2000w rms to both of them. i aint cheap so let me know what some options may be...and if this is too vague tell me and ill try and elaborate more. i was going to go with 2 mtx 9512's...but for the price, they dont seem worth it to me...im sure theres better out there for much cheaper. lemme know...thanks

lol funny topic but true..heres the deal..latly i been really thinking if i need 4 18's since i will never compete and with all these noise violation laws..i think 2 18's will be enough for me..if they are not then no biggie just order 2 more..but heres the deal..do you guys think its justifiable to spend $1200 on sound deadening on just 2 18's? am i going over board? the plan is to go single layers on doors and double up every where else..which consists of 240 sq ft of damp pro and 160 sq ft of damp regular..so what you guys think? i just dont want to feel like the fools who buy rims that cost 3-5 times more then there car is worth..lol

Help a brother out:

Im starting a car club in my hometown and i wanna know what you guys think of the names...be nice if you could reply to em and let me know Drop Boyz Drop Boiz Akoustik Koncepts SPLiens Dropz

This is just to give a heads up to everyone that SSA and Audio Junkies are teaming up for Spring Break Nationals. Audio Junkies will be covering the event for SSA.

well, today i just bought 2 15" PBX's. i have to say, very nice subs. with only about an hour or 2 of play time on them, the SPL is incredible and the sound is very tight. unfortunately, i have to have these beasts in a sealed box, since i can't fit ported unless i sacrifice ALL trunk room. each one is running off its own Infinity REF1210A (1300 watts @ 2 ohms). i just can't wait til these beasts are finally broken in, and i can turn the gain up a little more, then i'll be pounding. but, so far i'm VERY happy! for pics and such... My PBX install

For the masses Before its asked ..... mic is TL obviously, placed on the glass, sealed up. 3/4 volume on a single 5k at .5ohm. 5 batts and 220amp alt. Out of a trunk!

so i got a saz 1500d pushing 2 12ssd in a ported box in an 08 impala. i noticed my headlights dim a little on when i turn it up, but my bass knob is all the way down. do i need an extra batt??? and is it alot of work 2 run 1? cuz ill probably just have it done at a shop. TIA

Ive been playing with my front stage for a little while and its just not cutting it for me.. let me give some info here, I have a 18" BTL running off a sundown 1500 @ 1 ohm, Damn speaker hits real hard (ported box). in a 97 Tahoe 4door. I dont know much about running a proper sounding front stage, i have deadened the 2 front doors and placed a pair of Zapco i-6 components in the front 2 doors. Powered by an older fosgate 600.4, using the supplied crossover (passive i believe?). I also have 2 eclipse coaxial's in the rear doors running off the same amp as the fronts. I have done the whole Velcro thing on the tweets moving them around to see what I like best.. they sound j…
