General Audio

This is what I've been playing with for the last 2 days. Crappy camera, but you get the point. '96 Stratus. Pioneer HU, Quart 5.25s in the doors, RF 400s and BD500, and 3 10W6s. Only thing missing is the lovely carpet I forgot to get on my last order from PE. Oh well. Enjoy.

Anyone know of a good company for 16v batteries other than turbostart?

Hey Guys, I'm In Sort Of A Dilemma.. I Just Don't Know If My Sub is blown or if my Enclosure has an air leak or something.. I made a Long TEMPORARY Enclosure for my 2 15' Orion HCCA .. no bracing no fiberglass on the inside and on certain songs it sounds like AIR is leaking or something it just sounds bad....but only on certain songs.. now my concern is are my subs blown or is it the shabby job of an enclosure that i threw together...(and when i say shabby i mean i didnt take the time to seal the inside with fiberglass or etc etc etc)

Its been a while since i have kept up with the audio industry and even when i did i was still a rookie. I was lucky enough to have a guy by the name of Alton from this same forum make me box measurements for my car but sadly my car was stolen right before i got to install everything in late 2012. I finally have a car with a big enough trunk to do it all over again hah. So know for my question. I have Two Sundown SA-12 D4's that will be running on a Sundown Saz-1500d v.3 WIth 1/0 gauge xs wire. My question is where and what are your opinions on trusted inline fuse holders that will fit my wire gauge and also how many should i get? Im guessing two. I have seen some pretty p…

im getting 2 fi bl 15 and a dc 5 k amp would these be a good match for each other if not what would be a good amp for the fi's

I own a Jeep and have a factory speaker: https://www.jeepsareus.com/sku/77kick06.html and I would like to upgrade the bass to it and would love to have a more full sound. Is there any way I can DIY it without me buying a new speaker?

Which way is better to charge second battery parallel with front battery or direct from alternator

Equipment: 2 Xcon 12's (dual 1's) on a Incriminator Audio 40.1 at 1 ohm (3600 watts rms at 12v on stable electrical), pioneer 5900ib First off, I came home today and I decided to do a little testing on the Xcon's where I could actually see them. I noticed that the subwoofer farther away from the port has much more excursion (xmax) than the one close to the port. I feel like this might have something to do with a ported box where the port is on one side, but I'm not entirely sure. I also noticed that the one with more excursion is getting hot, (one close to the port is warm but not hot). This concerns me, I feel like it points to one being at a different resistance tha…

lol fed ex guy was cursing and swearing dragging my 12" fi btl up my walk way and asked me what i ordered a steel cube i laughed at him waddling up my walk way and now my fiancee is mad at me bc she cant move it off the couch bc it's too heavy for her

I have been trying to figure out a good 32hz box for two jl audio 12w6v2 but so far no one has been able to help me without saying i can build on for you. I already have all the wood and other stuff so i would like to make it myself. If anyone can help me please let me know

Just want to see what other people do with there old subwoofer box. Me I like to cut out mdf rings. What about you guys

Which amp is better for the money?its the new fosgate 1500.1 and the ssa store sells both,bot are close to equal price,they will be powering two kicker cvx 12"s

Hi.. Does Anyone here know how to put extra bass ? my car is Toyota Camry.. Thanks in advance!

Does the direction the port is facing matter very much? What would the best direction be in this setup? 12" RL-p downfiring in an extended cab nissan frontier. The box will be ~2cubes tuned to ~30Hz. Would it be better to fire out the side towards passenger side, out the top, or forward toward drivers seat. If anyone has experience with this truck specifically that would be great, but just ideas would work.

So... i was wondering what are the effects of running 2 giant gobs of wire out of a wall(8 runs of 8awg per side), one on each side of the wall and filling it in with whatever. this would just seem to cause some loss in SPL wouldnt it? I dont know if i just fill it in with silicone or should i shoot expanding foam in there... i dont know? Also, when i'm messing with the wire any, if the wire gets moved through the hole, would it "un-seal" the hole?

First my previous system was; (2) 12 inch Powerbase Extreme Subwoofers (About 800 Watts RMS Each) (1) Elemental Designs NINe.1 amp (1200 RMS at 14v) I sold my turbo g35 and now have a 2006 Dodge Charger (Ya it has a hemi ) I listen to Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B. I always love deep bass, my previous subs went deep on a couple songs. Higher bass tones are always great too. I was wondering what you guys think I would be happier with or what would be louder; 1 15 inch fully loaded Fi BTL or 2 12 inch Fi SSD's As for an amp what do you guys suggest. I think 1500 - 1800 RMS would be good enough for me. I really dont want to upgrade electrical in my car, just do the big 3. Budge…

Ok!! you guys have had them long enough So tell us what you think. likes and dislikes

We got an exclusive pre-release of Alpine's 2008 lineup. http://www.floridacaraudio.com/?p=19 Be sure to check this new Audyssey Imprint technology. It does time alignment by frequency!

So let's say I want a Zcon and have 2500-3000 watts for it, and it is going in a car with a 130 alternator. What all electrically is likely needing to be upgraded (and maybe the question is not that simple?)? I think you'll need at least 0 gauge power wire, solid grounding, and probably the big 3...sound good so far? But then what is the next step people take? Bigger battery? An extra battery? Bigger alternator? Alternator and battery? So 2500 watts or so probably isn't high power to some lol, but a noob wants to know what all you get into when you start trying to feed beasts like Zcons significant power.

what do you guys think about 2 treo TE 10's run off an autotek mm1-1500d or the mm1-1000d? putting in this box 07 & Up New Body Style GM Crew Cab Dual Downfire Box in a 08 crew cab silverado.

im looking for clean bass music with no distortion......i already have all decaf bass music. looking for new bass or modified music to try out on my system......could be country ,rock bass anything

I would do this myself, but being out of the "car audio" loop for 8 months puts me at a pretty serious disadvantage. I still have ALL of my old gear: ehh nothing else worth mentioning. But this being a new truck, I kind of want to start anew. 1) The doors already house a stock 2-way component setup (6x9's low, and a 1" paper tweet). With the speakers out, there is almost 3" of depth in the doors and enough room to fit a 10" driver in (although 7" should be plenty). I'm intrigued by using the stock locations and doing an active 2-way setup. 2) As far as low freq's go, I'm no longer really interested in pounding my brains out. A single beefy 8 should do the trick. Besides,…

Does anybody know of any places that sell quality mdf rings? I want some rings made for some 6 3/4 mids. The only reason why I'm not trying to make them is because I don't have the tools. I would hate to buy all the tools needed just to make a ring or too. I know those tools would collect dust. So, I would rather just pay someone because its easier for me.... Yes, I know about the swelling of mdf when wet. I plan on treating them with rubberized undercoating and applying dampener to fully cover the ring.
