Does anyone have any expirence with this product? I plan on buying it to coat my box with Thanks!

ive been blabbering about it for months.ive done my comparisons and looked at these and looked at those and ive finally decided that i am going with Audioque...sooo i bought a single audioque sdc2.5 10... if this subs lives up to my expectations then ill be buying 7 more very soon...yes i said 7 for a total of 8...these will eventually be walled off in my truck but for now theybe going in my current box.which is a design by Pete at hexibase.ill build a a few different boxes for it and test them all.. pics and updates when it arrives...im on my last leg when it comes to 10inch subs so i hope this works out..

pro60 crossover, the bass from the 15" treo ssx did this...i just soldered it back on, tested it, it worked, put my door panel back on, and it broke again. only the tweet plays. i think it came loose when i shut my door. i guess im gonna have to relocate the crossovers......which means running more wire....

I'm thinking about getting a circle jig for my router, since my jig saw abilities seem to be getting awful rusty. I saw these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009K77D?smid=A...mp;linkCode=asn http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&WebPage_ID=3 What kind of bit do you need?

and zane and the rest of the old school SSA boys? we need to track them down again

Im about to order new subs as we speak just waiting on a reply. Should i go with 2 of the ascendant audio havoc 12 inch subs or 2 of the 12 inch fi q series subs fully loaded? I know there both geared towards sq so any answer would be appreciated

i drive an explorer, and im only gonna have 1 sub in a 2 cubic box. what are your guy's tips for keepin it in the middle right behind the back seat? thanks for any help you guys can give me. edit: DO NOT wanna drill into the floor.

Thanks Don @ Sounddeadenershowdown.com for his superb customer service and smooth transaction. Can't wait till May so I can install everything and post up pics of my build log so you guys can enjoy. Thanks everyone for the recommendation.

I plan on running a obsidian 12 or 15 in my 94 grand prix 2dr. I have a box meant for 2 12s, 5cuf gross 3.75 net. I can either put the 12 in there. or plug both wholes and cut a hole for the 15 on top. either way the box is temp. anyways I need suggestion on a amp for it. don't want to spend anymore then $200. i don't buy used and i don't buy off of fourms. i don't have a paypal and don't want a paypal.

If god permits, next year i'll be in pharmacy school living with and leeching off my aunt/uncle. I hope to put a HT setup in and will use the subs i already have (for a start). My question is which should i use. I have the two 15" atlases and the 1 15" avalanche. I'm not sure how much different HT is from car audio, so i'll put my speculations and you all can feel free to correct me. two atlases will have more than enough output i'm sure. But won't get as low as the Avalanche. The avalanche will get low, but not as much output. Also I imagine an amp for the atlases would be easier to come by. (300W @ 4ohm vs 800W @ 4ohm) So my question is for HT is lows needed mo…

Ok so, I have 2 hdc3 18's and 2 bc2ks. The bc2k's will be running at .6 each. I am planning to run them at 14cubes at 36hz. I want it to have just a tad more lower end. Will running about 2500rms per sub be ok for that box size?

whats up everyone, its been awhile since iv been on because i moved and didnt have any internet. so as some of you know i got my 2 sa-10's and my aq2200 stolen out of my car a few months ago and ever since then iv had no bumps but a few days ago a buddy of mine gave me 2 12" audiobahn flame series subs i think there the aw1206t models, i havnt heard much about these except there 1100 wrms and im pretty sure there daul 4ohm. they are in a sealed box not sure the volume. it has 2 separete teminals for each sub to hook up too. so my question is how would i wire them up like that if there is 2 terminals and does that mean i should get a 2ch amp or what? i want to push about …

Im building a box to fit int he back wall of an s10. looking for about 32-33hz tune. I have box plans drawn, will email with replies. Current box is about 7cubes and is in the bed of the truck. Speaker is Skar VVX d2 15 on a roughly 2000watts@1ohms amp. Thanks.

After being out of car audio for a couple years now, I got the bug again. I recently bought a 2004 Toyota 4Runner and have factory speakers all the way around. The only upgrade I have done is install an Alpine CDE-W265BT. The drivers door speaker is making noises, and there are some annoying rattles that need to be addressed. I figured while I try to find the annoying rattles and replace the blown speaker, I will do some proper deadening and install a new front stage. This system will be for casual listening. No competitions and I don't care a tone about getting really loud. Sound quality ismy number one priority. So here's what I have and my initial id…

Instead of cutting a hole for a terminal cup I plan on running a 1/4 inch or so bolt through the side of my sub box. My question is, what type of bolt would be best for power/signal transfer? -Standard Steel -Stainless Steel -Brass -Aluminum -Chrome -Grade 8 Steel -Copper (not sure I can find it) There is just so many options and I don't know what to choose. Thanks All

Originally posted on caraudio.com Well as most of you know, I recently finished the system I have been waiting for forever.... if not look in my sig. But anyway.... I was driving to work today, playing a song at low volume that doesn't have very much bass at all.... and suddenly I hear this horrible "pop" from my trunk. So, I turned the volume down all the way, and about that time, the most godawful sound came out of the subs.... extrememly loud and fart sounding. When I went to check it out... two of them were blown. Anyone who knows me knows that everything was installed correctly... subs wired correctly, gain set to match input voltage, low bass boost setting.... etc …

Like i said just thought i'd share this, no point in it. But here is the little Skar VVX 8 beside my dc.

i went to MetroPlex Battery inc. in Dallas Tx today after work to pickup the only Speedcap i could find in North Tx, for my US 8v gc battery- for free.... he had an extra... ( good Karma ) and i was discussing how audio shops put our nuts in a vise and jack up ( tripple ) the price of any battery that will put out power.... so he was showing me all the different batterys he had for fork lifts / sky lifts etc and i mentioned i had a chance to get an NSB 90 and missed out cuss i dident get paied in time... he said he had 2 reconditioned Nsb batterys 1 was a NSB 90 the other was an NSB 110 ---- he sold it to me for 35.oo + tax i now have over 4000amps @ 12.85v for my S…

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?

Denim will be excited I've posted this I've got a 03 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab now, and my Explorer is being driven by my Dad. It's a long story as to why that is, if you care to know PM me. Anyway, I had 2 RE8's in a custom ported box in my X, which will in no way fit in the quad cab of the Ram. Aside from that, we have a 3 week old infant who of course requires a car seat, so rear seat functionality must be maintained. The only thing I can think of is to measure out the area beneath the seats and somehow cram the subs under there, facing out, perhaps angled back. I figure with 8's I should be able to pull this off. The only thing is that I do believe RE's function …
