I got a ticket in Missouri for a "Peace Disturbance - Car Stereo from 50+ feet" I've only had the sub for 2 days so i'm pissed but I guess it was my fault, but anyways.. I was wondering how much these tickets usually end up costing? Thanks, and sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

I just got a new car and I don't know what to put in the car sound wise. Previous owner put an Alpine CDA-9835 head unit in the car with a Phoenix Gold OCTANE-R 9.0:5 amp. I don't like this head unit and I want to replace it. I was looking at the Avic-D3 but I'm not sure about that any more. I don't really know much about the amp I havn't really had a chance to toy with its settings but at this point I don't like what I hear from the stock speakers at all. And I don't know if its because of the amp or if its the speakers. Im my old car I had Rockford Fosgate 1100a2 amp FI Q 12 Infinity Kappa 60.7cs components in the front and back JVC KD-SH1000 Headunit Rockford Fosgate…

I have a 98 dodge neon that I was looking to upgrade the sound system on. It is all stock parts except the receiver which was upgraded to a Sony X-plod CDX - GT11W 50W x 4 by the previous owner. I am not all to certain on the size of the speaker, but I think that the doors are 6 1/2 shallow, the rear speakers are 6" x 9", and the middle speaker is a 3 1/2. I don't really know a whole lot about the sound systems of a car, but from what I have read adding an amplifier, upgrading the existing speakers, and utilizing bass blockers would be the main focus. Essentially I am looking for the best possible upgrade in terms of bang for buck. So my question is what parts should I in…

What’s everyone’s experiences? Had numerous small systems but always in older cars. Seen a few posts online from random people and responses are over the place. Some are like its voids all electrical, or just the audio on the car, or the audio and if the dealer says it affected another circuit or system. Just wanting experienced audio enthusiast opinions/ experiences. It’s a 2017 Camry. Wanting to either transfer my existing stuff in( 2 JL12wo in a slot ported wedge box, jl 500.1 and the big3) or upgrade to something bigger. Pair of sa12’s on a 1500.1. Thanks for any info, it’s my first car with a warranty, lol

Ok so i am an extreme noob when it comes to this kind of stuff soo that's why i need some advice. my cousin is going to give me a choice of two sets of subwoofers that he has and its either the Alpine Type R SWR-12D2 or JL audio 12W6v2. My cousin also gave me a JL audio bandpass box that looks just like this one http://www.cardomain...t-cobalt/page-2 i have been looking up reviews about bandpass boxes and so far i have found more cons than pros about them..i guess i just want to know if a bandpass box is honesty a bad choice and if i should buy another box. If you feel like it post an easy list of a good set up that would work well for two 12 inch type r subs or JLw6. I'm…

I have to install all my crap in a Durango this Saturday...but I won't have alot of time. Was wondering if anyone had any tips/pictures of how they ran some wire in there...for power and rca's. An 89 blazer was the last SUV install I did lol.

I'm looking to get an alternator for my durango 03, i found a few sites, but I wanted to expand my options. One I liked was Mean Grean, If you know of any other brands and where to get em from that would be awesome. I'm gonna be powering a 15" MA audio hk15x2 @ 2000 watts rms lanzar amp. I need at least 250 amp alternator to 300. thanks in advance.

Anyone looking for pics of anything in particular., like amps or subs. I just may have it.

im in need of an enclosure design. preferably a 6th order. im looking for a PROFESSIONAL enclosure design with a nice layout, proper image of the layout. not something a 12 year old drew up in msn paint. i have all meassurements, which subs im using. this will be a wall in my 91 s10 for 8 skar 12's. i need it for music with good low end. but needs to be able to bassrace well. can anyone point me in the right direction?

I was giving a friend a demo, nothing outrageous, basically just how I listen to it daily. In the middle of it, the bass got real quiet... I look back and I saw one (didn't see the other) sub was going crazy excursion. I start to smell a very bad burning smell coming, like big time, so something definitely happened. I check the amp, it's not hot, nor is smoke coming out, and the smell isn't really coming from the amp. I get home, my amp is sitting at 1.9 ohms (usually always .7 ohm), then check my subs: Coil 1&2: 1. imp was fluctuating like crazy 2. Coil was jumping a little between 1.7 to 1.9. Coil 3&4: 3. imp was fluctuating like crazy. 4. Couldn't even get …

Ok, Which 15"s would you recommend for SPL in a Blowthrough? First of all, the box options, there is a "3 Chamber, Single Reflex Bandpass" http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/bpass3cham.gif but i saw somewhere that when they are firing at each other, there will be much noise cancellation... So what would be the other ways for a blowthrough? But second, what sub would you recommend? For a budget under $300 per sub which is the best spl sub out there that will work good in ^^ whichever box...? It will be as a daily driver, but just high spl levels. Would sundown be best for power? For keeping a slightly low price?

i went ahead and purchased the 6.5 type r component set. this will be my first component set and need help on the tweeter placement.i already have a hole for previous install where a crap tweeter was placed so i was wondering if i should place it there on picture 1 or on picture 2 in the door somewhere by where i have marked. also should i leave the door "grille" or cut it out. ive been thinking about cutting it out anyways. just looking for some input

ok, so my system is actually starting to come together. i still do not know as much as i should to own a btl.. but i bought it thinking i did to relize when i got on here how deep i got my self into when i purchased it. i never really relized how amazing this woofer really is until everyone on this amazing forum have taught me. now i know most subs are held down with regular screws but how should i mount my sub. my friend has an 18 inch q and keeps breaking screws, whats a good way to secure my sub down without breaking screws left and right. and my last question is would my electrical hold up with one Deka Intimidator Battery 9A31 and the big 3 for a rf t30001bd ?? any …

Between S4 & D4 which is needed to wire 8 subs to 1 ohm?

what are your guys top picks for covering your boxes?? I've seen a lot of people using like...truck liner spray. Is this easy to do? or what are your tricks for carpeting a box? Favorite places to buy the carpet? i'm mainly more itnerested in the truck liner idea. I like the idea that it gives, but i've only seen the more professional areas do it. How hard is it for an average box builder?

Looking for a good set Head Unit Removal Keys, does anyone have any recommendations?

Hey all... After a few months of running my ID comps off of a bridged 4CH amp (150wRMS) dialed down to about 100wRMS, I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to run them off of one channel each. The output was about the same but the clarity is so much better! My Q's are still drowning out the highs though so I'm looking into multiple speakers... I have my 6.5"s in custom door pods, and the tweets in the sail panels. I was going to put two Kenwood 5.25"s that I have in the rear sails (run off HU), maybe purchase a set of 4" speakers for the upper front doors(run off HU), which would leave me with an extra two channels on the Infinity to slap onto another set of co-ax speak…

Well my second bc2k came in Thursday and I will be strapping them at 1.2 ohms!!! Hopefully can pull a 150 or so! And my box it starting to come apart lol!!! So gotta build a new box along with the new amp!!

What is more important to place deadner on? The outer layer of the door? Or the inner metal where the speaker mounts?
