Hey guys i currently have a Memphis m3 15 and a pr500 amp in a 4.3cuft box ported @ 34hz. Im either going to pick up a sundown sae-1200d or a saz-1500d amp next and im wonering what sub would be a good match in the 12-1500w range. Im mainly looking for eye blurring ear hurting bass and the m3 just aint cutting it. also im looking to spend around 350 for the sub.

Well I started my first car audio install, after not knowing anything half a year ago, thx to forums and helpfull ppl I learned and decided to do everything myself, and I was very carefull unhooked battery, made sure ground points are good, took my time untill I did a big mistake..... ......I installed Sundown 100.4 and Sundown 125.2 and Pioneer PRS880, hooked everything up and wanted to set the gains the dmm way. I hooked the positive back to the battery and I saw sparks flying on battery port, looked kinda strange, but I connected it anyway and I heard a lound bang in the back of a car,oh oh. Amps were in protect mode and I could not find the problem, I thought to try …

Lotsa stuff i got recently, an Eclipse 8053. The marantz SR8400 going to my HT system. It wouldn't fit my old rack so i had to put it on my TV stand. RE XXX 6.5 and they accidentally shipped me a re 6.5 so i took pix for comparison. Lastly, a Concept 1200D i got real cheap.

I've been looking at this old armored truck from the Andy Griffith days for a few minutes. I was just wondering what I could do with it.What class, if any, could there be to run it in? I'm trying to figure out how to put the pictures in here. It's giving me a hard time. I have them in my gallery but, i'm tryin to get them out here. Any help on that would be nice too. Anyy ideas on the truck would be cool. Thanks!

I know the banners that Superfly/denim made for ya are tight, but they are to big for Termpros standards. 500x90 is fine (u can go up to 150) but it must be 10kb or less

Will box a give me same results like box B ? Does it matter if sub is placed up, or on the side ?

Alright so im getting ready to start my first project on my car and i had a few questions before i ordered everything. 1. on the Big 3 is it okay to use my alternator case as an engine ground for the chassis to engine ground run? 2 Im planning on getting an amp for my front stage and an amp for the subs. Im confused on how i would run my 1/0g wire from the battery to both of those amps. do i need one or two runs from the battery?

So I used to have my quad stereo speaker setup for my home wired in parallel and then I was re-doing things and I always noticed it lacked any bass, so I thought it was maybe because i was creating a 12-ohm setup for my 8 ohm stereo. So I rewired it so I would be creating a 6-ohm setup which did improve my bass response. But when I did this my rear speakers got about 3-5db quieter which is good to me because they have a higher sensitivity so they tended to drown out the front anyways. But I am wondering why would my front speakers being wired in the beginning of the series setup be louder now? And if this is how it works wouldn't wiring a dual voice coil in a series caus…

Don't know if this is in a good spot, but does anyone have ear bud recommendations? I saw on the Audioque site they have a pair of ear buds for 25$ shipped that look nice. My Creative ep-830s are getting old, and only the left one fits in my ears. http://www.audioque.com/AQ-EB01-Ear-Buds-_p_72.html

I need some help. I know the btl is most powerful but is the xcon close? whats the difference between the 2? and is the bl fully loaded any competition with the BTL and XCON??

My Brutus has a ground plane problem, and I can't fix it with the equipment I have (read:none). Where do you guys recommend? I am very picky about who works on my equipment, and am leary of the shops around here.

Hey everyone. I was hoping I could get some input. I am selling my current sub and enclosure on Craigslist locally, not on here. But im not sure if I am asking the right price. I'm selling my Sundown e-12 d4 and the custom designed/built enclosure. I'm asking 140. is this too much? Thanks for any opinions!

i have a duralast gold 1000ca 850cca 115 reserve its new about 1 1/2 months old. and a 90 amp alt want to get a second bat what should i get. any suggestions would be great!

in my car my batteryis in the trunk where the spare tire is does that make it way harder to do the big 3?can it be done?

Hey guys im hosting a car audio competition in my hometown, just wondering what tips should i take while planning it?

http://www.cnet.com.au/downloads/0,2390303...0602997s,00.htm This is the cnet site to d/l it. Sorry if this has been posted before, I just found it and thought it was neat.

Hi, I have cheaper stuff than most of you guys wipe your butt with. Anyways, I have a 2x10" sub with Pioneer speakers that say they handle 50-120w RMS (I know I know, don't laugh) and a 2-channel Pioneer GM-3300t amp that claims the following: Output Power (4 Ohm, <=1% THD) 60 Watts x 2 Output Power (4 Ohm Bridged, <=1% THD) 150 Watts x 1 Output Power (2 Ohm, <=1% THD) 75 Watts x 2 Now, since I am buying a pair of front component speakers, I wanted to hook them up to an amp. The question is whether or not I should use my current amp for the component speakers, or keep the cheapo amp with the sub and buy a new amp for the component speakers. BTW, the subwoofer…

Ok heres the deal Im trying to figure out the best way to do this so everything is compatible. First, I will be installing 2 shallow mount earthquake sws 8" subs under the front seats in a bmw 5 series which will be replacing the factory subs and one dcon 10" in the trunk. The earthquake subs will be run as a sort of midrange/sub and can only handle about 150rms. The dcon is good for 300rms. My questions are: What impedences should I get for the subs? Dcon 10 and earthquake? What amp would be best? 3 or 4 channel? 4 channel run in 3 channel mode? Any recommendations on amp? Maybe a link or advise on how to wire it up? '

I just got a Kicker s12l72. I was planning on getting the 40hm but I got the 2 brand new for a steal. But Now Im confused on what amp I should get. Will the Kicker 750.1 be fine. And should I wire it for 1 ohm or 4 ohms? Thanks

Just got my order in and it was a pain to carry it all. 9 box each weighing about 45lbs a piece. Never knew 6.5in speakers could weigh so much but i guess when they come in boxes of 6 it gets heavy. I need to take a pic. But if anyone is interested in CDT products i am now taking orders via email. Store shopping cart isn't up yet but the site is a go Click Here for AlterAudioUSA If you order via email please noted your SSA name so i can give you a discount and also watch for when i post the SSA discount code when i get my shopping cart up.

Looking for someone close to Charlotte NC that has a term lab meter that will be willing to meter my ride.

This my current situation: 2006 Honda Accord coupe, stock everything. I plan on keeping the stock door speakers and just adding a subwoofer. I have: Pioneer DEH-p6000 headunit Sundown SAE-1000D amp SSA 10" Icon Subwoofer I had everything hooked up in my xterra, but recently sold that and bought the accord. This is what the radio/climate control area looks like The only adapter I have found is this for ~$150 which I think looks pretty bad. Ignore the lower headunit in that picture. I am thinking about just buying an AUX or Ipod input for music, and staying with the stock headunit. I did some research, and it seems like a line out converter would allow me to hook up m…

hey guyz.. If I have 4 super tweeters that are 8ohm each and want to wire them to 2 ohm, once I wire them together and got my positive and negative, Would I only need one crossover or will a crossover be needed for ech one still?

Well i just put 100 dollars in the bank and was bout to send the money to crescendo to get their new mp6 pa mids, come to find out they ran out of stock 2 days ago!!! they said they still have some 8 ohm versions left for sale. i was gonna run 4 on a mb quart onx 4.125. well i planned on using the front channels for the mids and the rear for my tweets. well i cant buy the 4 ohm versions so would it be better to get the 8 ohm and run them 2 on left front channel and 2 on the right front channel for half the power i would have been getting, or wait 43 days til the 4 ohms get back in stock?
