General Audio

Need an alternator bracket done for more than a reasonable price? I just got mine for 1/3rd of what some of the people were asking! Nathan from Excessive Amperage suggested I contact Mario from [email protected] about making a mounting bracket for my 2nd HO alt.

I just though I might make a post about this guy's website I found. He's an active member of a few different forums and it looks like he knows his stuff. So put down your beer and pencil and just start clicking. If it looks like the program isn't functioning it is probably becuase you are asking for a F3 that is too low for the size of the box, etc. It even tells you the dimensions to cut, how easy is this?

Just got the last of them up. I've got drifting and bikini contest videos that will going up soon as well. Part 2 has most of the good car audio pics. Enjoy.

I need to replace the Alternator on my Sebring. Does anyone kow of any good companies to use.. I've contacted LOAD BOSS, they only sell 1 and its only 165 Amps. Excessive Amperage, I cannot get ahold of... & Dom Iraggi I have not heard a ton of good things about. Do you have any other suggestions? Would Powermaster Alts be a good place to look? Thanks for anyones help. I need the ALT replaced soon, I think its about to poop on me...

I've searched for answers, but I've not been able to find anything definitive. Sorry, this will not be a short question. On most crossovers that we find on car amplifiers, there is a range silk screened on the crossover, let's say 50 hz. -500 hz. I don't know if the slope actually matters if you can get far enough away from the crossover point or disable the crossover. I believe that the setting on the crossover is the -3bd down point, but there isn't a way to know what your setting it to by looking at the potentiometer and the numbers on the amp. Allot of things I've read on this topic are extremely vague. Maybe I'm not asking the question correctly in my search. Such a…

On youtube there are videos of people running an insane amount of subs in their vehicles for spl applications. Like 15 15's or 6 18's and other crazy numbers of subs. How do they have enough space?? An FI BL 15 for example is recommended to need 3-5 cubic feet of space plus port area. If you run 15 of them together thats 45-75 cubic feet of space plus port area... Do SUV's and vans really have that much space?? Or does the fact that there are so many cones moving so much air make them work the way they do without having the recomended amount of space?? Im just curious if anybody knows how so many subs can be run together and do what they do in the space they are put in.

Okay, here is all the info... Head Unit - Ipod Mini 6gb Amp - Radioshack Optimus 150Watt 4 channel amp, all channels work! Speakers - At the moment I have a pair of old Pioneer 6x9's. Yeah I know right? But they do make noise. I also have a pair of 6.5 coax Pioneers that I would be willing to pull out of the rear deck of my saturn, since the rear speakers are not used. So, what I want is to search my options for better speakers. I just shiver at the notion of running a pair of 6x9's again and I would like to take advantage of all 4 channels. The speakers will need to be efficient. Any required crossovers would have to be built so they would need to be very simple. Also,…

Sorry if this is the incorrect thread. But I wasn't sure where to put it. Ok here we go. I'm planning on upgrading a lot of the parts on my car to Carbon fiber. my question since I don't have a lot of experience is, would it be a bad idea to install a Carbon fiber Hatch on my car? The reason I'm asking is because I am unsure of the strength of carbon fiber. I don't want to put it on, just to have my system shatter or crack it or something.

I now have XM Radio; I got the little portable Samsung (Pioneer clone).

Hello, I am going to be putting a new setup in my toyota celica. I am going for spl in this setup. budget is 1000 dollars for the amp, subs, and the box. any suggestions are greatly appreciated this is the space i have to work with:

I was looking around on some forums and i saw http://www.****/forum/showthread.php?t=61103 I wondered why you would need that, so i looked at his build log and found http://www.****/forum/showthread.php?t=64796 Wow, well i guess i can't say Car Audio classifieds.So just copy and replace the "****" with car audio classifieds So this raises a couple of questions for me, i am still new to car audio, well the big league car audio anyways. Why does he need that many 1/0 gauge wires running to his sundown amp? I understand that maybe the resistance is less but still... Do i need to do something similar? Also, i noticed he has two sets of power, how exactly does that work? Is it…

Hey I was wondering if anyone here had made a enclosure or kick panels with fiberglass and had luck with it. I don't really know where to start or what works and what dosen't. I want to build a box for a sub or maybe some kick panels because Im getting borded with just plain boxes and want to build something unique. What do I need to buy and where can I get the materials? Are there any web sites that would help me? What do you use to cover the fiberglass after you lay it? Is it just plain bondo? I have never used fiber glass before, but I know my way around a shop just want to expand my horizons. Any info would help a lot.

First off this place is TOTALY different then I remember (i used to troll this site for years under the SN 144dbFiBl15) Please ignore the newb status. I guess I have been away from this site for about 4 or 5 years...man time flys. Cant look back into my past posts, and all my pics of my former setups are gone... oh well ANYWAYS... Times have changed I grew up had two kids finished my E.E. degree and bought a new truck and the audio in this thing is CRAP. I started to look out on the ole inter webs and soon realized the game has changed since I have been gone. I am looking for suggestions as to brands or models of speakers i should try to run for a LARGE cabin…

Im in shock of the sheer size of this thing. The weight and magnet are almost comical. Really wish posting pics was easier.

dude is asking 190 that include the box. the amp i have right now is a alpine m850 750rms@2ohm,500rms@4ohm. think it can push the sub? or should i just buy a 10 or 12 RL-i sub?

hello guys im going to start my new box and this time im building it my self . anyone who has work on some FI bl's not sure if the size matters but mine are 18" and im looking to have them to reach their limit using less power so going with a bigger box instead of smaller box with more power . my dimensions are w58"L24"H26" these are the outside measurements. im thinking of using two sonotubes either 8" to 10" because their 8" ones are more like 8.5" or 9". so i have to get back at you guys with the tunning of the box which i wanted to be 30hz sub up port up so if someone has time to make me a design i will appreciate it. i don't want something crazy just 45's and…

As the title says, looking for pointers installing in a Grand National for a buddy. He has had the car forever, drives it often and wants some improved audio. The plan is to do no un-reversable mods to the vehicle, will be installing a DIN head unit in place of the stocker (that is going in the closet), change out the door speakers in the Concert Sound II pods for some 5.25" components, throw a sub and amp rack in the trunk. Seeing as sandt38 has a few of these cars, hope he can provide some insight.

I'm building an enclosure for 4 12in Solo Barics, 2007 models. The question I have is he's already got the gear and he bought one of the really long, thin Memphis 4000 watt mono amplifiers. Does anyone have any experience with these? I personally think it's overpriced. I'm hoping it turns out to be a decent amp but I want to make sure the setup goes well for him.

is it nice? does it hit hard?

I have 4 gauge power wire going to my two ppi 2100's. I will be adding a US Amps 100 HC for a sub amp. Can I run 4 gauge to it or do I need to step up to 1/0 gauge? Also what would be the perfect set up? What I mean is, I have a diesel truck with two 750 amp batteries and a 136 amp alt. Will this be ok to run this set up? What needs to be changed? Thanks

hey guys!! i haven't been posting much cuz i have been working so much(OFFSHORE). last friday 12th my re xxx 12" came in. i'm getting the box carpeted and installing today as i built the box before i left to go offshore. well today tuesday 16th,my premier 860mp cd player comes in. so i have to install it today when i get back from shopping. i will be sure to get some pics up. charles

So last weekend our teach put us in groups of 5 and give each group a topic. all the topics are related to electrical components and what not. My group was lucky enough to get FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS(FETS) and then we broke it up into sections for each person to do, for the part i have to do "research applications and why they are used" and then i started to think doesn't car audio amplifiers have fets in them? or rather called mosfet? so i was just wondering if anyone could start me out or lend a hand on where i should be looking for information and maybe recommend a creditable site? also i was thinking about dropping db-r an e-mail asking him but i don't know if that …

Alright so i was down at the mall and took a look at the brand new 2012 Scion tc. I must say it looks beautiful, not too sure on how it performs or any issues that they have but it looked CLEAN. Im only 19 so its not like ill be able to afford one anytime soon, but it looks like such a nice car to wall . Kind of looks like a Honda CRX, but bigger and more luxury oriented. Guess i just had a bit of a daydream moment but maybe this will my my future car. Not sure yet, (Coming from a GM family, it seems odd to be this into an import.) Oh, and the doors already have 3 ways mounted in them.

I'm going to be running a Sundown Audio SAE-1000D and an SAX-100.4. My stock alternator is 135A, I've done the big three with 1/0 gauge, I've got a 1/0 gauge run to the trunk, and I've got a group 65 Duralast Gold battery under the hood... Do you think I'll need a second battery or any other electrical system changes?

Got some of these in.. and I was pretty impressed. I was so impressed I put it up to the ultimate sound deadner stress test.... a proper pint. The foil is crazy stiff. They come in 6" x 10" pieces.
