I'm going to start building a box for my 6 15" incriminator 187s, they will be going in a 2000 Yukon denali and will be getting 3000 rms too all, I just need some help designing a box tuned to around 30 hrtz, thanks

I currently have a set of these (RE set) I never powered them so I dont really now what they sound like as of yet....... http://www.reaudio.com/components.html But, I was thinking about 4 of the MLI-65 mids..... http://www.mach5audio.com/index-2.html The amp I'll be using is an Orion 400.4. I'm looking for some really good midbass. It's all going into a 4dr blazer. What do you guys think would be a good route to go???

Yesterday My HDC'S vibrated the screws out of the sub itself and Fell At the Box

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?

anyone knows where the hole in the firewall is? if so, will it fit 0 gauge cause i cant seem to find one...anyone knows something i dont?

So, I arrive home from work to a package sitting on my back porch. Hmm...that's weird, I don't remember ordering anything. Though I do recognize the name and address of the sender as being one Njccbflo What the heck?? LOL......... A little abusive, aren't we?

I have a DC lvl 4 m2 18 d2 and an american bass hd 3500. bout 1200rms clean. the sub takes 1400 and its underrated. on dc's site they reccomend a 6 cube box. how to i know how much to compensate for the lesser power?

I just put in a new box in my 1999 jeep grand cherokee and I reattached the back battery, In doing so I noticed my voltage is at an average of 12.6 with little bass. My voltage is going crazy and im not sure what is going on. Normally at full tilt on rock, the voltage plays at 12.8, But now its at 12.2...... My Interior lights are now feeling the power drops and dimming everytime a bass note hits.....as before it wasnt doing that......any ideas?? My alternator is working i had it checked today..... Also might i add that with the bass off my voltage goes from 13.6- to 12.8....with no bass...only mids and highs......wtf?!

The other day I was in the drive through at Wendy's and my mids and highs sounded odd so I turned the subs off and cranked the volume higher than I ever listen to my system to try and pin point it. After I got my food I turned the subs back on with the headunit still paused without turning it down Lawl...so I unpause it and KABLOOMBANGNASTYSHITBRIXLOUD....I scared the fuck out of myself and my girl wouldn't talk to me for a while lol...has anybody else had a shitbrix bass moment?

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.

My friend has an 02 Mustang GT convertible. He wants to cram a BTL 15" inside. His rear seats do not fold down. The question is...If his seats were not folded down would that affect the bass significantly or only just a little bit. He was thinking of taking out the rear seats but that would expose the convertible motor and stuff. The first task is to see if a 4.0cuft box would even fit back there... Thanks for any help.

So come January ill have all the bits n pieces for my build. What are some things I could do build wise that would make it sound that much better? I read somewhere about firing the sub forward and sealing off the trunk. what is this and what are the advantages? just looking for some ideas of how to squeeze every bit I can from this build. thanks in advance.

Whats the easiest way to hook up your car audio amplifier to a home stereo? I imagine it involves a $200 converter or something but just fill me in a little.

Hey guys. Ok the is my dilemma. Ihave 2 JBL gti mkii 10" and 2 amps. Ihave fused the voice coils together. Well I assume that's what I've done. One reads at 3.5 ohms and one at 7 ohm. So what I am asking is can I link the subs together to even out the ohm load and then run the amps in parallel. And if so how would I run my speaker wire. I really miss my good out put but I don't want to cook anything and have no system. Please help

Is there a way to keep my steering wheel controls with a new head unit in a infinity g37s? Also how difficult will it be and what head unit would let me to do so? (preferably one with navigation)

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.

I have a powerbass xs15d2 and I've been hearing a rattle. So I inspect the sub and the basket is loose from the upper plate. This would be a defect not user error correct? Also the sub still plays fine and don't rattle while playing music parked but only rattles when I hit a bump or dip in the road. Should I use it till it get replaced? Any suggestion are appreciated.

mid bass is ok... cross overs fucked me first day... lost a tweeter the second day. i need somthing that will take lots of power.. and sound medium where has M5 been?

Aight guys just need some help doing a big 3 upgrade in a 06 bmw 325I (e90). Just wondering what's the best way to do this or if anyone ever done this with the stock battery in the trunk..... Ps. What's the best binding post to wire 8 gauge wire in a sub enclosure

Hi Guys, I think some people from SMD might have posted here about this already. Im the one behind the app and proud to get something out there finally Android app for box tuning is finally here...FREE... This is Beta still and can still be buggy. I am constantly working on updates and fixes and new features though. The app is for android 2.1 - 15+ , so hard to test when developing.

The app can be found by searching "box tune calculator" and can also be viewed here My app If you have any requests of what features you want, please let me know and i can add them. if there are any cr…
