General Audio

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?

Anyone have any eperience with these? I want a cheap DVD player/monitor for my son in my car, but I don't want something that's going to crap out in a few weeks. Sonic has what appears to be a decent one for $150.

i wanna put my amp on top of my sub box. somethin like this. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/attachments/classified-archive/29569d1148325888-fs-two-12-visonik-subs-q-logic-plexyglass-ported-box-jl-amp-two-7-monitors-sub1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/classified-archive/77133-fs-two-12-visonik-subs-q-logic-plexyglass-ported-box-jl-amp-two-7-monitors.html&usg=__TJ9YFj030MnGCFMQm8h_EpxK5xg=&h=480&w=640&sz=95&hl=en&start=9&tbnid=Ms8HpRY7X5x9zM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsubs%2Bwith%2Bamp%2Bon%2Bbox%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg…

what would be the minimum amount of space i need in between the back of the sub and the back of the box in a sealed enclosure?

I'm driving along and hammering down on the system and my car is jerking to the beat (cmon,minds out of the gutter now). It's like I'm doing the so called "gas brake dip". It's pretty fucked up and I'm not enjoying it at all. Anyway, I drive a 09 yaris sedan and I recently put a 320 amp DC Power alt in. I didn't have this problem w/ the stock alt, but then again, I wasn't nearly as loud. What I'm wondering is what is going on and what could I possibly break by doing this on a regular basis? Should I downgrade my amp? 15" SMD on a Stetsom 7k2e Thanks

Yes it's a little obscene that I have 97,800w on tap. No it's not in a car. Its in a 2200 seat church. All the power ratings except for the subs are at 8 ohms. We have all four channel amplifiers. I won't get into amplifier topology now, but suffice it to say... they're super efficient. 1x C10:4 (4 x 250 = 1000w) 1000 [fills] 4x C16:4 (4 x 400 = 1600w) 6,400 [high frequency] 4x C28:4 (4 x 700 = 2800w) 11,200w [monitors, fills] 4x C48:4 (4 x 1200 = 4800w) 19,200w [midrange] @ 8 ohms 6x FP10000Q (4 x 2500 = 10,000w) 60,000w [subwoofers, midbass] http://www.labgruppen.com/products/ All this is fed by a isolated power transformer that weighs in at 744lbs. Each amplifier is c…

Hey all So I'm going to be installing an 18" Nightshade in my trunk, and I have been trying to come up with a workable solution for a box design. Been sifting through threads but haven't really seen too many builds with a sub back/port front design or vice-versa. It seems that any other design would take up the entire trunk with little room for any other equipment. This is what I'm proposing: Top down view of the trunk. The yellow dashed line is the rear deck, about 19" total height clearance. The grey dashed line is the recessed spare tire well, about 6" or so deep. Box sides and top would be built as to contour around the wheel wells. This would be the view from the ba…

im about to buy a amp for my alpine type r in a few days and its rated at 500rms and i dont know what would be a good amp to power it. my budget is 150$

Hey guys! Long time no talk! Just bought a new truck and I'm going nuts listening to the stock system, so some changes are in order! I would like to build a box to put under the back seat where there seems to be a decent amount of room. Thing is I will need shallow mount subs! I was just going to go with the kicker shallow mounts, 2 10's which are less then $90 each but then I came accross the stereo integrity shallow mount which only come in a 12" Pretty sure I will not have a problem building a box to accomodate 2 12's which will have much more bump that I love! They have a dual 4ohm VC's with a 450watt rms rating so I would need an amp that would put out betweeen 8…

I have 2 fi ssd 12's, they sound good on the high notes but not great, then when the low notes hit they sound even worse, they dont sound terrible, but I know they dont sound any where as good as they should, any help? And when I set my gain with my dmm, I have to turn it all the way up to even get within two numbers of what its supposed to be, Any help would be very appreciated

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

Can I hook up the remote wire on my amp straight to the power wire on my amp?

Hey Guys, I'm going to be building up the suburban hopefully in a month and was wondering if anyone could give me some imput on how to tune a clamshell or 4thorder.. I have not got things measured out yet, just wanted to know the process of how to come up with the right tunning..I am leaning more to the 4thorder design, but any help would be helpfull.. Jay

So basically I let a friend borrow my car and while he was using it he messed up the trunk latch and when he couldn't fix it he tied an extension cord around my subwoofer and box and held the trunk down with it. When he drove it back to me he played the music all the way up and when I got it back my subwoofer wouldn't play. I figured it was the woofer being held back while trying to play but then I tried another sub on it and it still wouldn't play so I tried another sub and again it didn't play. What could it be causing my issues. What could I do to diagnose my issue. The light on the amp goes on and it looks like everything is working. any help would be awesome. Thanks.

So after I installed my DD 9512g, its been knocking off my rear view mirror. I think this is the fourth time that it has came off. Its really not that loud to be doing this. It came off at Scraping the Coast 2010 and it took a piece of the windshield with it!!!!! I always use permatex extreme adhesive. I don't know what else to do now. Any ideas? Im thinking it might be due to the vibration in my floor translating to the windshield. My floor vibrates a lot along with my side mirrors and door panels.

So i have the old surround coil and spider out, i just need to finish cleaning up the old glue. I dont have aside grinder though like everyone says to use, is there another alternative? something else i could use my recone kit form PAP should be here sometime next week and i just want to make sure everything is cleaned up and ready to go for when it gets here. Thanks everyone.

I got my order in 4 sa10s will be here someday soon !!! just excited and now i must go buy some MDF and start a box build stay tuned this may become a build thread soon thanks that is all Reggie

Hey Everyone I've got a 745Li that I am bypassing the entire L7 audio system. The system is not what i want and i don't want to invest 1000 bucks just to put aftermarket amps into it. My idea is to first remove the ASK unit. Then fabricate the trim to fit a din size that will allow any aftermarket radio t0 fit. I'm sure the trim won't be strong enough to hold the weight of a head unit, so i need some of your ideas on supporting that weight. this part should be fairly simple. I'd like to cover the trim in an exact match of wood grain as the rest of the car but i have no clue where to go with that idea. I'll have to find an ignition and a 12v constant along with a gro…

Hey everyone! Im going to be buying my first subwoofer very soon! Right now im looking into an AA havoc 15" with an AudioQue 1200D in a 4.0cf enclosure tuned to 32hz. But more talk about the subwoofer. This subwoofer will cost about $500..... This is toooooo much money. And then i saw the fi q 15"! its about $390 shipped. Is it worth spending another $110 to get the Havoc? Im looking for SPQL (dont know if that exist sound pressure quality level) Thanks for the help!

Well I started my first car audio install, after not knowing anything half a year ago, thx to forums and helpfull ppl I learned and decided to do everything myself, and I was very carefull unhooked battery, made sure ground points are good, took my time untill I did a big mistake..... ......I installed Sundown 100.4 and Sundown 125.2 and Pioneer PRS880, hooked everything up and wanted to set the gains the dmm way. I hooked the positive back to the battery and I saw sparks flying on battery port, looked kinda strange, but I connected it anyway and I heard a lound bang in the back of a car,oh oh. Amps were in protect mode and I could not find the problem, I thought to try …

Im about to set up my components but they are 100rms how would i know how manywatts im sending to the component with my digital multimeter thanks guyz

I absolutely cannot get away from it, and I was wondering what keeps everyone else coming back for more and more. For me its the undeniable feel of a subwoofer rattling your chest, and knowing you made it all happen.

ok so i've went thru 3 box designs and im just not happy. sub- rf power hx2 15 dual 2 amp- saz1500 @1 ohm gain bout half way h/u- pioneer deh-680mp stock electrical for now 76' caprice so i wanna get the most outta my sub as i can in the trunk. i mean loudest, movin air, flexing shit (1&2 were in backseat) first box was 4cu ft @30...too low 2nd was same box retuned to 40hz....to high 3rd little over 4cu @ 33hzin trunk....great freq response i mean its louder then most people i pull up next to. but i think the sub can do more what really pisses me off is my uncle has my kicker l7 8" on a 4ch usamp cant remember what model. like 900w rms is what he said i think . but i…

im looking at buying ether a fi ssd 15 fully loaded or a fi q 15 stock. i want to get output but still have clean bass. i know the q is more of a SQ sub but i have not heard much about ssd's
