General Audio

Now, Im not sure if this is actually done very often but it seems like a lot of laziness to me. Here is what my local shop did back when my dad first got the speakers installed. They simply spliced into the old connectors for the OEM speakers instead of just running new wire from front to back. But anyways, Im in the middle of rewiring anways so I guess i just need to cut those connections and tape up the loose ends for now.

The sub MTX 9500d 12" dual 4ohm Box for the 12 (2cuft 36Hz 1" HDF w/ double-thick baffle) The amp JBL Powervalve BP1200.1 that I got for $200 from sounddomain.com. IT was supposed to be a scratched open-box item, but it was new when it got here.. woot The cable 0 gauge Audio Pipe w/ Stinger HPM and Custom Pro connectors

what should i do!!! 1. Finnish new sub box 2. Make some GIANT pods for my doors 3. Work on my subbass amp rack 4. Work on my Front stage amp rack 5. Kill someone. i have so many things to do its like its all clogged up in my head...

half price car audio . com has what is listed as 500 foot rolls of 0 guage stinger for 180 which for me comes out to 200 shipped. Deal of the century? Horrible misprint? Isn't that false advertisement and they can get in trouble if they dont give it to me for price advertised? I've heard that the site is legit from a few people but noone has noticed the 0 guage

If I didn't just order an amp I would be all over this, hell I still might grab one. $100 shipped! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JBL+-+Grand+Touring+Series+600W+Class+AB+Multichannel+Amplifier/5764474.p?id=1218695447823&skuId=5764474&st=jbl%20amp&cp=1&lp=1

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…

You guy at SSA are doing a great job with the web site, the support, and also the products. This is by far the best one stop shop car audio site that I've been on. Thanks for the great customer service and wonderful products.

blast it all. i saw my voltage was at 11.3v with the car off and that wasnt normal. when i went to start the car, it dipped to like 7 and im like whoa crap. for some reason the car started and it was even lower at 10.3 sometimes dipping to 9.8. i was all freaked out and my dad looked it over and come to the conclusion my alt wasnt charging. hmmm maybe this is a sign i should use my 250a i have lyin around in my closet lol

I really hate to even ask, but are there any good subwoofer grille recommendations? I use my trunk pretty often, and even with my current sub I get nervous about things rubbing up against it, or worse. As much as I dont want to cover up the Icon sub I ordered, I also dont want to ruin it, especially since I'll be packing my trunk full with an upcoming road trip. Any grille suggestions?

I have 2 runs of 0 and running 2 more sometime when I get time ( already have it) . . I was wondering if you need the same amount of ground as you do power.like Should I use 2 of the runs for ground and 2 for power or all 4 power and 4 grounds in the back or 3 power and 1 ground from front and 2 grounds in the back or what? There will be at least 4 runs no matter what. Just seeing what y'all think I should do

Before I draw something up with CAD, anyone know where I can get a ground distribution block with one 2/0, four 0/1's and two 4 gauge inputs already made? Thanks, Michael

ok well i hooked up my new rw and blew my amp after 2 days and i put a new amp on it and it has ground noise and i tryed another amp it still had ground noise i redid my ground new washer and such and looked at my power and remote wire and i still have the ground noise can you help me thank you

Should I run my ground from the front batt. to the rear one or just ground it to the frame?

i am currently installing a 15 bl loaded with a fosgate t100bd and would like to no where to mount my ground wires such as ground strap from motor batt and amp cause i drive a 2002 nissan sentra gxe and its a unibody where would be a good place to ground to and if it would help i have all the 1/0awg i need any help will be great thanks ooo and would the stock locations work and just go to 1/0awg wiring?

is there anywhere online to order ground zero subs and other equip?

I have a cobalt that comes with the battery in the trunk stock. It was grounded to a piece of sheet metal that was spot welded to the wheel well. I had to remove said piece to fit the 2 extra kinetik hc16v running off the second alt. Any way i have all the batteries grounded with 2/0 to one spot (sheet metal) and the amps hu and processor are also indirectly grounded to the same spot. The only thing audio wise not connected to this one spot is the second alt which is grounded in the engine bay instead. Even as such I've experienced tons of ground loop. So the past few weeks I've spent rewiring my car and doing some tricks to eliminate the ground loop. The hard work paid o…

i have a wierd problem i just installed o ga wire under the hood for the big 3 and now i have a really bad ground problem like i hear when i hit the brake pedal even the turning signal and cant understand it. i grounded it to the frame and vehicles factory location also sanded them to bare metal... and just the other day now if i turn it up to a certain volume it sounds like the woofer flop or play out of tune thats why i was thinking it might be the rca's any help appreciated.... i run 2 12'' q's on a everest soundlabs prototype amp box is 5 cuft and tuned to 30hz

Right now for my SAZ-3500Ds that are strapped i'm grounded to my frame but it's a pretty long wire and i don't want it that long. I cannot make the ground wire short and STILL ground to the frame, just can't. So this leaves me with grounding to the body, which i've only done with multi-channel amps.. no big mono blocks. I have (1) Yellow Top under the hood, (4) XS Power D3100s in the bed, (1) 320 amp Alternator from DC Power, Big 3 all inside a 1986 S-15 My concern is that grounding to the body will not be efficient enough for my SAZ-3500Ds. What is your input?

this goes for the guys that do not know what I am getting.....I have picked up an amplifer sponsor.....looks like the Sundown's and the old school Phoenix Gold MS1000 are getting retired....any guesses.....I will say I don't think anyone here is running them....any guesses? I guess a nobody like me can get a sponsorship(haha)..

Take a guess whats in the box. If anyone guesses right ill post up the pictures of inside.. Ill give you a hint, they're very sexy.

ME!! Thats rite! i just got back from the factory, i asked, he said yes. So pm me and ill see wat i can do for yas

I have a friend in America that keeps saying Fiat Panda gets very loud and I should buy one for my project. It has something to do with the vehicle's acoustics and the shape of the car... like Honda CRX's. Sean and Jacob are at SBN right now, and Sean said there is a Panda ... Something like 158db - 2 x 15's In Bulgaria I can find some Pandas for cheap... the cheapest one is 350$ ! And some better ones for about 500-700$. What do you guys heard about Pandas? Is it true about them and SPL? I am thinking about two Nightshades 18's or 15's if there is not enough space. Wall or no wall? If I go with a wall does the vehicle really matter that much? With a box somewhere in …

Ok so i have a 10" JL w3v3 4ohm driver and a cheapo pioneer amp( i know i know moneys tight) So i hooked this all in my 05 ranger with a Kenwood Excelon deck. I have 2ga welding wire for ALL hot and cold connections. I did the big 3 except for the engine ground for Now. I tossed my cap out as it didnt help and read alot of bad ju ju about them. I get dimming light as do most on Hard bass hits whenthe amp is at +6db's and the deck is at 5 to 15db's. I want to know if i should invest in a second battery (xs power or kinetick) or swap the stock battery out for a better one?? Otherwise i thought about just getting a H/O alternator.? I dont wanna spend a fortune i want to sti…
