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???

yeep fressh from another forum, this truelly amazes me amazing BMW 3 series install!

well jamie (xtrmeasures) has finally turned his twisted mind loose on my truck, and its sic so far ill get some pics of the progress up a lil later

i have a 2000 ford taurus with a 1500w rms powerbass amp and two 12" kicker cvx's. does anyone have any experience with the taurus for bass? basically i am wondering how involved it would be to upgrade the + wire from my 130 amp alternator (my lights dim and voltage drops), and how well the car handles bass. i am trying to decide whether or not to dynamat extreme the trunk.

Im thinking about doing a system in our 03 Explorer and wated some input on what issues you have ran into with these. I bought my wife a 2012 Cruze so now the explorer is sitting and Im biting at the bit to do something with it lol. It is up for sale right now but if it doesnt sell soon Im going to start doing something with it. Anyways share all input with these vehicles. Oh and Im still working on the mustang as well

Ok, so I have an issue with going active. I currently have a head of lettuce and two salad forks going to 4 carrots and two sets of cucumbers. If I were to crossover the carrots between 60-600 hz and the cucumbers to 400-10khz would this sound good on 60rms coming from my potato? Please I need help I can come up with 2 boiled eggs and some salad dressing if I have to, but i'd like to stick between onions and celery.

Any interesting link... Can't remember at all where I got it, but it is very useful when trying to describe what 140 dB means to someone. http://www.makeitlouder.com/Decibel%20Level%20Chart.txt

i've been looking all over for them any links to them i seen some audioque but they are like 30 bucks and i think there two long any links would be apreciated!

I have recently upgraded my sound system to a Sundown u15 D4 1500w rms, and a GK audio 3500.1D1 (3000w rms). No component speaker upgrades...YET. My stock 132 amp alternator is well on its way to being smoked. So, I am ordering a Mechman 320 amp alternator, and would like to know what size battery (that will fit in the stock position) I will need. I don't care so much about amp hours, because bumping the system isn't really a common thing without the engine running. My goal is to NOT run any type of capacitor, and I really don't want to have to add a battery in the back. I am now running an OEM duralast battery (not sure of specs) and with my weak stock altern…

I was debating on buying a refurb or not. Db-r has some good deals, but being that they are rebuilt by db-r and not sundown, i was kinda iffy if the build quality would be the same. Maybe its just me but when i hear refurb, i think defected product that will probably break again. They do have a 1 year warranty which is helps. I guess im just looking for a little input on what everyone thinks about refurbs. Thanks

Okay 2 DEI Viper Dual 4 ohm 12" subs ported box, tuned to 28 htz. And neither on the back seat nor in the trunk with the seat folded down, I still can't get over a 141. I got a 140.3 the 1st time with shittier subs, and a sealed box..............and running the amp only @ 2 ohms not 1 like today...........But that Was in a Mountaineer............Anyways after I got 2 CRX style boxes from Kurt I was able to do a 144.4 from the back seat. Thew boxes wouldn't fit in the trunk which rots. I am going to Competiton this Sunday in Rochester and then again Sept. 11th in Limestone, NY. Hopefully I can place in Advanced NW this weekend and place in the 1-306 class later on........…

Just donated my 2 ssa icon 12's to my nephew for his first ever system. Building a new system for my f150 crew cab, debating one evil 15 or 4 ssa f8l's. Space doesn't matter and I have a few amps to choose from in my collection. Just curious if anyone is running either of these setups and can add any input. Thanks in advance

alright. i have an 8 ohm sub amp that is stock with my altec-lansings. totally wrong forum, i know it seems but wait. it is in my backpack, so there for it is mobile. well it isnt in a car, but thats not the point! 5" woofer, two bose 3's for mids, and two 50w roadmaster tweets. runnin highs and mids series'd , with crossovers of course, at 2ohms but woofer is at 8. would it be safe to run two 4 ohm woofers series'd at 2 ohm on an 8 ohm amp? thinkin bout these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=264-831 in this http://www.alteclansing.com/images/product...arge/vs2321.jpg main concern is decent LSQ. lous as a mutha(expletive) now but thats just the highs…

I have a 13w7 in a prowedge box. I am reading about the SAZ-1500D. I learned that either I can wire to run the sub at a 3ohm or .75ohm load. Is the SAZ-1500D able to handle that power, also what is the amp stable at? Any help/opinions would be appreciated. thanks!

i have been out of the game for a long time. just wondering who are some reputable online shops i can get components and coax's at? thanks

I'm starting a new bagger build that will have four 6x9's four tweeters and an amp in the fairing. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with soundigital ? The reason I wanted to try this amp was due to its small size since its going in the fairing . I know not everyone is familiar with motorcycles etc but i'm limited in my options regarding number of speakers and size of amp so if anyone has any good sounding combos etc let me know . Right now im leaning towards focal or JL speakers and a alpine amp . Thanks

1. Where is a hole in the firewall? Doesn't have to be that large, just need one for one run of 10 gauge. 2. Disconnect battery ... airbag deployment, loss of security, etc ... any of that BS? 3. Install head unit - is it as easy as those couple screws in the bottom panel and then take the top one off? 4. Running wire - where? Under door sills? Can figure it out when I know where that goddamn firewall hole is. Any help appreciated. Needed before tomorrow morning I'm still searching myself.

I need to drill some holes in my doors to run some fat ass wire through. I did a visual earlier but I can't tell if I can I remove the fenders without removing the front. Can I?

I have the 2200 A.Q. amp. The grounded wire got hot enough to melt, so when being replaced the power wire was still connected. When connecting the ground back to the amp it caused a popping sound and white smoke to come from the amp. Is it ok to try and reconnect it still or would it have caused damage to the amp.

I have been thinking a lot lately :nono and I just might sell the rl-p. I am close to getting a new car (possibly this beauty) and am now tihnking a 15" rl-p is just too much. The box and sub weigh around 100 lbs which is way more than you want in the trunk of a 540. Not to mention I don't want this car to fal apart on me. I could probably sell the rl-p and my box locally for over $400 which would then give me some more money for the car and maybe even a little 12" set up to hold me over for awhile. If i sell my nine1 with it I could probably get $700-750, which would definitely help with some mods (read:updated lights) for the 5er. Maybe I'm crazy, but I am really c…

Probably a stupid question but I'm wondering how I would go about hooking up my 15" SSD to my home stereo receiver. I think its a 100 watt per channel receiver @ 4 or 8 ohms. Just wondering if there is any way to do this or is it just stupid.

ok im buyin a 2003 audiobahn immortal 18 from my friend for really cheap, i know they are by far the best but i need something for my crappy truck for a little while, but i was wondering how much i should put on it, i know he had a 4000 watt legacy (crap) but it hit pretty hard, does anyone know how much they actually put out, and if anyone knows how much can i actually put on it, i read they are 2250 rms and 4000 peak, but i want to push it to its max

ok so i am looking to get either 2 15" BLs or 2 15" Qs. i am powering them with a Rockford Fosgate 20001bd amp, which i was told throws out about 2800 watts of power when i called Rockford. i am also building a custom box outta 3/4" MDF that i'm not completely sure about dimensions for yet. now i am leaning towards the BL because even though both the BL and the Q have the same power handling, the BL i am told can take more punch, which would compensate for the 800 extra watts from the RF amp. but everyone says that the Q is all about sound quality. is the BL going to have good SQ along with it's SPL? if i can hear that the BL will have good sound quality or better, than i…
