I'm looking for a box builder near Oklahoma City, or anywhere in this state! I've attempted to contact McGovney Designs several times, but haven't heard back from him. So, are there any Oklahomans on here that can point me in the right direction for a good builder. Thanks

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

Now for the question . Is it better to run in a daily driver setup 1 or 2 ohms? I there really a difference between the two besides the resistance in the current.

im currently at a stand still with my build. i fabbed up a amp rack last night, but it just doesnt look as clean as i was wanting it. if there is anybody that can possibly show me some pictures of their amp racks, it would be greatly appreciated. im looking for more sleek clean finish. (round over edges, plexiglass over amp,,etc) just looking for ideas. forgot to mention, i have 2 soundstream tarantula 1000d going behind each seat in my reg. cab silverado

Hey everyone! it has been a super long time! sorry I haven't been on here lately, work has been keeping me very very busy plus my new job doesn't allow for car audio as I am a travelling service technician. But I will be quitting my job and moving to the states, so this means I now have room for Car audio again in my life/trunk! I am looking to install a RF 3sixty.3 in my 2010 Ford escape. I am looking to keep my OME head unit. Here is how I want to wire everything Factory Head unit speaker outputs To AOEM-FRD24 module To RF360.3 via RCA To Amp via RCA To OME speakers connections behind the OME head unit using wires. I want cut the female connector off, from the m…

I was wondering if this cable would be good to use for making custom rcas ? here are the links... PartsExpress 2 PartsExpress 1 If you know anything better can use list the site? Attn mods Im thinking this should be moved into the general section for better traffic...

My girlfriend has a 2010 Elantra and wants a basic system that'll sound good and have decent output. She really likes the look of DC subs and I already know DC makes good quality stuff. I'd like to get her a single Level 3 12 in a nice box made my Pound that Sound or Fisher Customs. The amp that caught y eye to power the Level 3 12 is a Kicker ZX750.1. Is that a good quality amp?

Does anyone have a schematic for the 2500D ? Tried contacting Orion but that lead nowhere

I see that there are a shit ton of abreviations for specs about subs. for example: fs qms qes qts mms cms sd vas spl bl My question is, when designing a box are there any one of these numbers i should pay attension to when deciding volume and tuning? -Thanks

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

Sorry if this isn't the right topic to put this into but.. On YouTube I see some demos to where the song starts regular then starts to slow down into an edited slowed down version of the song. I have audacity and know how to edit and slow and blah blah but is there an option on audacity to do this or is there another program you could recommend me, perferably free lol

It will actually be a pair of subs. Single cab pick up truck with limited space behind the seat. Looking for a nice little sub that can get loud. Power will come from the sub channel of my GS Redline 3 channel amp. BS rated at 1,000 watts for the sub channel into one ohm. It is currently pushing a pair of 12" IA Lethal Injections quite nicely ran at 2 ohms, so any of the subs on this list will work. Alpine Type R $120 Arc 8V3 $150 Image Dynamics ID8 $100 Incriminator I Series $95 JBL GTO $80 Memphis $120 Dayton HF $105 Dayton HO $115 I am ok with the prices of all these subs. Any pair of these can be wired to show my amp either 2 or 1 ohm, I am not too worried with the …

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::::

Hey, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I bought some 6.5" Focal component speakers for my 99 Civic LX which has 6.5" stock speakers. The problem is that the Focals appear to be a hair larger than they specified... The diameter of the speaker is a good 1-2mm wider than claimed, which means I'm forced to do some modification. I would probably just huck them on eBay, except a) I really like their sound, and b) I already drilled / installed the tweeters on my door panel. So I'm left with a tricky situation. I'm debating whether or not I should be cutting the metal ring around the speaker, or the plastic on my door. They both have pros and cons and while I'm slightly handy, I'm…

It's dark, it's cold, it's windy... I don't have NEARLY enough power! 22 cubic feet tuned to 15Hz 8" sonotube port 2001 Pontiac Aztec. I have 3 of the Red Tops wired up, the IB3 18 is LAUGHING at the Lanzar OPTI2000D that is rated 1100 RMS @ 2ohm. When I try to give it more, then she gets pissed cuz it clips to beat hell. I am selling the Lanzar and I am looking for a Kicker 2500.1 Email me at [email protected] please no PMs! :41 into the vid that is 7Hz!!! I can not describe what the 18Hz part is like, but you can hear below 20Hz if the output is high enough! I LOVE IT! More to come. So here it is: "your chit is NOT low enough... for me!" ya'll give me some…

anyone know of a place near plainfield (or chicago) where i could pick up two DBXi's? zip is 60544 if it helps. buddy of mine is gettin a '66 impala gonna cram two 15's up in dat thing!

So I saw this while I was trying to add knowledge to my little brain and was curious as to how to figure how much power is going to each voice coil.. who can help me out??

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?

I have a 12inch dcon. It says that 2.25cu.ft. is "optimal" and the smallest you should build it is 1.75cu.ft. Lets say they are both tuned the same. What is the difference in sound, etc? What is lost or gained by making the box that much bigger? Also, I listen to mostly rock with a decent amount of rap music thrown in there. I'm looking for a nice middle ground tuning and a box that can be easily moved if needed. I was considering 2.0cu.ft. tuned to 32hz. Would you suggest something different? Thanks. (also, I know less power usually calls for a bigger box, I'll be running 340rms or slightly over to the sub) Thanks!

ok, i've got the high end covered...with these planars, thanks ryan but i need help with the mid and sub....i want to do a three way set up. here's some idea's... these for the midbass/range these for the subs i have no idea about the crossovers... i want to do either a 10 or a 12 in each tower (or a pair of something) and either a 5.25 or 6-6.5 for the mid. i don't want to spend a fortune, but i want to thrash my 14 year old set of pioneer towers.... HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hello, I am finishing up on my box and all I need to do is put my aeros in. I wanted to know if it would be a problem if I had an overly large sealed enclosure. I do realize the bigger the enclosure, means less power handling but better efficiency. I have 2 AA Havoc 12's on an saz-2500d. It has come to a conclusion that these I can't find a good alternator for my vehicle which basically forces me to run 4 ohm (if I have voltage problems at 1 ohm.) So I'll be running around roughly 600 watts. Which sucks. The enclosure is meant to be a 3.90ft^3 box @ 33hz. But I'm wondering since i havent made the aero holes yet, If I can just make it a temporary sealed box at around 4.20…

HOW LONG WILL THIS SALE BE GOOD FOR?

Got bored yesterday and decided to do somethin constructive. decided to make something so that i could use 1/0 guage on my AQ 1200, the power and ground inputs are only 4 guage

First, what is the different between the Original, and the Extreme Dynamat? Because, I am thinking of just getting two packs of the Original Speaker Kits. A set for up front, and a set in the back. I didnt think I would need to shell out for extreme. Should work all in the same manor right? I'm only going to put in the new '07 Type R comps and coax's. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=12644 And also, my car is a 2002 Honda civic SI. I believe it has a 70 amp alternator. My sub amp will be pulling 1300wrms and speaker amp doing 60 wrms a channel. So, will I need a capacitor? If so, how many farads? What brand is good? Because I also have after market…
