General Audio

Anybody ever buy anything here? www.killeroutlet.com I found out that PPI's "buy it now" option goes there.

Ok i've heard of this problem before: everytime my amp gets power and turns on (when i turn my key to acc or further) my subwoofer makes a small popping sound. I saw that installing an inline remote switch on the remote wire would do the trick. Will this work and can anyone give me a link to a nice and simple one please? And also is this a threat to the integrity to my subwoofer because if it is i have to make sure i do this ASAP.? Thanks

ok. i was gonna get 2 15" jbl gtx's(old models) for like 85 shipped. problem is, theyre 4 ohm each, so that can only be wired to either 2 or 8 ohm's right? the amp im looking at is 500w rms @ 4 ohm(its a home audio plate amplifier from partsexpress.com) thats the other thing, are those amps any good? these are the 2 i was looking at: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=300-806 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=300-752 if not, any other suggestions? other places to buy em? (i was gonna run a car audio amp, but til i buy the amp and a power converter, i think its cheaper to buy a home audio amp. last question. since the amp can only be ru…

I was riding a little while ago and All of sudden no more bass..and I go back home and check everything Subs are fine(I know cuz I took them out the box and nothings wrong with them) and Amp is on...I'm confused Anyone know what happening???

looking to pick up a voltage meter. but I am unsure of what to use. I thought about the stinger volt meters, but are they any good? probably beating a dead horse, BUT I did search and found threads from 2008, 2012. Just wondering if theres any voltage meters new on the market that are in yalls opinion a great meter. Just need to monitor my voltage. any help would be great. Brandon

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

This would be my first post onto this forum but to start it off i'd like some opinions. I had belief in a theory that if your woofers faced each other you could then perhaps feed them more power and essentially they would just load off of each other. Now technically speaking how do you guys think this would work? Keep in mind they are both (2) in phase with one another in separate boxes.

Ok I use MDF on a weakly basis and I have never had any problems with it doing anything to me while I

So I am helping a friend install a new system into his car. Right now we are looking at running either a single 12 pushing 2k watts to it or running 2 10's, each with 1k watts. Question.....a very loud SPL oriented daily driver is the goal, would the 2 10's be better do to sheer cone area or would the 12 be better???? I am thinking the 2 10's but I want to double check to be on the safe side before I tell him wrong. ----------------------------------------------- 2 10" BL's or 1 12" BTL

Kinda in a dellema ATM. So my 2 front speakers blew the other day (jbl got 628's 2-ways) so I put the factory ones back in until I figure out what to do. Thing is I got em from best buy and they no longer carry any car audio (in Canada anyways) so they sent me to future shop for a replacement (I bought a warranty so I get a free swap). Annddd future shop doesn't carry those speakers butt they can swap them for something else. So I'm not really sure what to do. Im kinda on the fence on switching to components (leaning more to the I don't wanna side) and am going to buy a 4 channel amp soon. If I was to swap them: http://m.futureshop.ca/defaultpage.aspx?lang=en#/catalog/pro…

I have hit a phase where now I love classical music. All the cds I have sound, unfort, less than par. Does anyone know of any good classical music cds that sound like they are almost recorded with modern day technology? Really lookin for the great classics, like 1812 overture, but have had no luck going to any shops around my area.....they carry hardly any classical. Help would be great. I figured some of you SQ lovin guys have to hit up classical music once in a blue moon.

Help me out. Anyone do a SPL system in a Tiburon? Just trying to get an idea of the box tuning. The box is for a pair of 12" Fusion Powerplants, each one run by a Fusion Lomu amp. ANy help is appreciated.

Ok, I just bought my new car, a bright red 1993 Volvo 850 GLT with tan leather and a 5 spd. The cars great, but its lacking in the sound department. Ok, I have a MINT condition Alpine CDA-7875 head unit (BBE, V-Drive, etc) that I want in this car, how do I hook it up? I have put this head unit in 4 different cars so far so im not an idiot, but Circuit City told me you couldnt put a head unit in this car without rewiring EVERYTHING in the car due to an internal amp. Now, my 240SX had internal amps and all I did was hook up the remote turn on wire to the one on the HU and it worked great. Anyoen have a wiring diagram? Also, I pulled the Volvo radio out and I cant see how a…

Hey, Im fairly new to all this Car Audio stuff, and have no idea what is 'good'. There is so much choice nowadays with all the brands (Alpine, Memphis, FUSION, etc, etc) and would like help on choosing my first set up. I have about 1,000 $NZ (About 700-800 US$) to spend on Speaker's, Sub(s), and amp(s). I dont need a head unit as I am building a CarPC for the music. So what would you recommend? NZHawk,

Might be a stupid question but im gonna ask it anyway.I have a enclosure with 2 thread rods running from the front of the enclosure all the way to the back of the enclosure for support. Can i also use these thread rods for a speaker terminals also? I will be running a memphis 16-2000d to a 18" btl d1 voice coils. Will be running in a series for a 2 ohm load.

my question is which subwoofer would be better for me the ssa xcon or the sundown nightshade,my setup will be running off a saz 3500.Now i have heard the xcon`s there great woofers but i have never heard the nightshades.Its a dodgr charger daily driver.It will be 12 inch woofers unless i can squezze 15`s in my trunk..Thanks for any help.

ok here is what I have planned Alpine Type X SPX 177a tweets RE 6.5 midbass/midrange----both fully active from the P9 combo ran off of the MS1000TA (340x4) the Brahma 15(3.0 cubes sealed) 1 ohm off the Revolution 1500.1(1580x1 @1 ohm) alittle under 3K watts of SQ what do ya think?

Some of this was leftover in a subwoofer enclosure that came as part of my interior swap. 4 pairs of wire probably about 18 gauge braided, no outer jacket. i was wondering if it is something they did by hand at the shop or if i can buy a roll?

Here it is, really the first thing I have built all on my own no help from anybody.. usually I have my brother around but it feels nice to do something on your own even if its kinda crappy

i have been searching the web for some 0 gauge ring terminals and all i can find is 2 packs for like almost 10 bucks or each sold separately, but i need like maybe 20-30 total. anyone know where i can buy bulk packs of them....??????

I'm clueless on whats making the loud humming sound from my 6x9's p.s. The ground looks fine as far as i can tell but get this.. also (Trunk Open = No Noise)

Hello, New to the forum, got turned on to it by a guy on the last forum I was a member of (audio-neon was his screen name). I am slowly buying up the components of my yet to be installed system. I have my sub (TCSOUNDS TC3000 15" DVC). I have my deck (Eclipse 3100) Xover (Audio control EQX) and the Epicenter. I ordered 1/0 wire 30ft of power and ground. I have done the big 3 already and have power and ground run directly from the engine bay to the trunk. I have a 3.2cubic foot sealed (2.6 cubic ft ported tuned to about 28 hertz) box built. I am leaning toward some CDT Components for the rest of my speakers. I have a zapco Z400c4 amp I am also leaning toward running the fr…

hi Dudes/Dudedettes -Is te Box tool on this site any good? -Should I look somewhere else if I want to do it propperly? -If I use this tool on the site; do I have to over build it to compinsate for sub displacement and of course bracing? -What other (free) tools do you guys use that are easy to use and if you have paid for it how much and was it worth it? thanks, i am sure this will help others out there as well.
