(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 guys, its been 4 or 5 years since iv been on here! Anyways a buddy gave me a few amps and this is one. It says its made by automotive electronics product group T 50.2 the hott set up. Cant find anything about it online or what it might be worth. Any knowledge would help! Wont let me upload a picture for whatever reason

I seem to have a lot more voltage drop to rear fuse to amp when the seats are up, rather than down. This is a trunk car. Is lack of air flow making the sub work harder? I have the rear 6x9 vacant..

Want to know some new subwoofer companies that make good subs 1000rms or up Any company would help Trying to find something new

Lil vid of my recent setup: 4 10" Alpine Type R 2 Audioque 2200s @ .5 ohm 4cu @ 35hz Metered 151.4 @ 45hz with box top coming off about an 1/4 in....fixed that and havent remetered

hey, a friend of mine almost got popped for a sound ordinance violation, lucky for him, he's in school to be a lawyer.. here's some advice he gave that helped him get out of the ticket.. 1) check your local laws, know exactly what they say 2) if pulled over, don't argue. make known the fact that you are going to contest the violation, politely 3) ask how loud you were. " i could hear you 50 feet away" is almost certainly a "dismissal" it's on the state/county/city/township to prove how far away they were...and they have to be able to prove it. 4) if they do conduct a sound metering test, make sure the meter has been calibrated within a year(<--generally, a good rule o…

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?

What do you think about aq subs?

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.

I know there are a ton of choices out there but wondering what everyone is using here. Right now RAAMat looks like the choice for me, followed by Fatmat or Edead. Feel free to post away.

Well because i crashed my BMW im planning to get VW Golf II Here is picture of gold II Im planning to take out back seats and wall 4x12" subs, how does that sound ? Subs would be SPL dynamics V300D2. And run them around 3-4kw RMS. But there is second option also 2x15" subs, what do you think, what would be nicer ? 2x15 or 4x12 ? i prefer 4x12. Hit me up with ideas

Sending a message down from the Great White North, Will freezing temperatures ruin/damage subwoofers or amplifiers? Its gets pretty damn cold up here and if need be ill bring them in for the winter.

Ok.. I have a FI BTL 18 and a Rockford Fosgate T30001bd amp. I have all 1/0awg wire big 3 and a kinetik 1400 in the back. So when i first hooked everything up it was SUPER loud.. but for some reason when i like park somewhere and shut it off then go to get in to show someone it is not even close to as loud as it was.. Does anyone have any ideas. My only idea is because i only have a kinetik 1400 in the back so its not enough power? And sometimes when i turn it up it will start pounding and the will start to cut out. I was wondering if anyone else would know what the problem would be.

Hey guys! got another topic about a new set-up idea i'm looking at Current set-up is an 18" BL on a JBL BP1200.1 amplifier Currently though, i'm looking at picking up another BP1200.1 for a total of 2. this means I would start changing around my subs then. Here's where i'll give you the info and you try to help me decide Limitations: Each BP puts out 1200 watts @ 2 ohms. I'll have two of them and they're not strappable so it'll be two subs i'm looking at. I have around 5.8 cubes of space to play with. Max sub size I can fit in terms of still being able to get the box in the trunk are 2 15's. I'm leaning more towards 12's though just because then i can actually give them a…

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)

Name off some high power subs (anywhere above 1000 watts RMS) with a low Fs (below 30 hz) and preferable a 15"

Drivers side ... enough room for the mid right where the foot rest is, may be enough for the tweet too. Passenger side ... plenty of room for the mid in the area right by that plastic bolt. Paper template baffle in place. Similar to real life size (tweeter would be moved closer to the mid). Drivers side. Drivers side again. Trying to show where the mid could go. Passengers side ... looks like barely enough room if the tweeter was moved up. Closer view of passenger side ... should be ok on this side if I move the tweet closer I guess. Spring project ... fiberglass box for the (Magnum D2) most likely. Should turn out ok. If it turns out that there is too much air…

anything priceless? or custom made one off kicker equipment? maybe a gold plated XPL? just wondering cause if I were you over the years I would probably have a garage full of kicker equipment oh and what are you running right now, also out of curosity

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…

I'm currently using two 18in btln2 on an xs8k in a 05 Hyundai Tucson enclosure was design by ram. I demo often with my four doors open and it sound great but there's a problem with loading when my doors are open I loose the deep sounding bass that I love. I'm either going with a ported wall down the center or a 4th order band pass. I'm worried that with the port being so close to the door that I'll have the same problem with loading that's why in considering band pass. New sub will either be the team fi or dc lvl6. So my question is what sub and orientation would best suite me app? If any....lol!

theres a kinda new song out called Black Mags by: The Cool Kids....i was wondering if there's anybody that wouldn't mind making a video playing this song. ive only heard it on my computer sound system, and it seems like it beats pretty hard and low... i just want to hear what it sounds like in a car wit a nice sound system....anybody want to do it? thanks guys

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

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???

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.

I am looking to sell my current setup to upgrade I currently have a Cadence ZRS-8 amplifier (1500 rms @ 1 ohm, 750 @ 2 ohm), and a 12" RD Alpha V.2 in a 2.3 cube box tuned to 33hz. Along with my 6.5" Polk Audio DB615s (slim fit), Infinity Reference 9623i 6x9's, and Pioneer deh-p3900mp H/U. What do you guys think my setup is worth if I can sell it?
