Hey guys. Just thought I`d let you know what`s happening in the U.K. SPL scene. Any M.E.C.A. members on here? We at TEAM SOUTH EAST have just hosted the U.K.s first ever M.E.C.A. event. After a few complications with the computer we started late. But we all had fun!! I competed with just half my system working (2 amps & 1x 15" sub). Did quite well though. Over 150dB Here are the LOUDEST competitors in their classes, that competed. S/RSPL SR - Street: S1: Lee - 144.2dB S2: Corsa Boy - 143.9dB S3: Troublestarter - 144.6dB S5: Mega Heavy Bass - 150.4dB M/RSPL MR - Modified: M3: Adz - 133.7dB M6: GULA - 153.1dB (The U.Ks LOUDEST M.E.C.A. competitor) I th…

when playing on music it makesa popping noise on different tones it does it alot i have a o6 s15l7 4ohm wired at two it makes no sence and it pretty loud not hard to miss it

I bought a dcon 12 before I switched cars. I want to put the sub in a ported box, the site recomends 1.75 cubes but has anyone had success going smaller? Reason being I need to put things in the trunk from time to time as well as have access to the spare tire. If need be I was considering reconing the sub to a 10, but I'd really prefer not too as the sub has never been used. If it matters the sub would be recieving 350 rms. Thanks!

Like the title says. I need someone to deal for me on a GTO 755.6 and a BPX2200.1 I will make it worth your while to help me. Thanks!

Just saw this, worth a look:

Hey guys, Im new to SSA and car audio in general. I have been doing a little bit of research but would like to have other opinions. My question is in your opinion what is the best deck, speaker, and amp set up for around 500. Sorry if i am a noob but i had to ask. I am getting really tired of the speakers i have now in my Jeep Liberty, they absolutely suck and i have to iPod hook-up so it is time to get some new equipment. I may add a sub later when i have more cash. Thanks in advance guys!

I've been trying to figure this out and figured I would put it out there for the gurus. Is there any real difference between speaker level and line level signals other than the voltage and the ability to drive a speaker level load (2-4 ohms vs 100ish or whatever for an amp). I guess what I'm really asking is this: Say we have a headunit that puts out 25 watts at 4 ohms. which by my calculation would be 10 volts. Now lets take that and plug it into an amp that can handle 10 volts (or split into two amps for 5 each). Is this fine to do or would it not work well?

So i came across this amp and its 260 3200 rms @ 1 ohm....Is it to ood to be true or what? has dual 1/0 inputs and 5x40 amp fuses. so like 2500 rms but still for 260 thats a steal! i think i might try em out...

Just finished putting together my DIY home subwoofer. I used a Soundsplinter RL-p15 DVC2 and an Oaudio Bash 500 watt amp...... the box is 4.6 cf gross, 3.2 cf after port/bracing/speaker deductions. The box is made of 1.25" mdf and oak vaneered. The port is 2.25" x 16" and 43" long tuned at ~24hz. Mike at Soundsplinter and Todd at Oaudio are two of the greatest people and are willing to help in anyway possible. Also, I can't say enough good about their products!!! I tested the sub on Pearl Harbor and the Japanese attack scene almost brought down the walls..................

Heres my status. I just sold the kove armageddon and the planet audio tt2250D that I had sitting around. I am in the process of selling my Planet Audio VX3002, and I will be ordering my Orion 2500D tomorrow. Once I sell the PA, I will order my 400.4. I also have some wheels on ebay so I can have some money to spend for christmas shopping. I am also about to buy a pair of EQT's for $115. Finals this week too. Fun stuff. Getting the car back hopefully friday or so. For those who don't know, I had a blowout and went off of the road messing up my axle shaft and a few body parts. The car has been in the damn shop for almost a month now. The dealership is absolutely pathetic. …

Some background: I have always been a Sundown audio and FI audio fan and those are the products I use. I purchased a 12" BL fully loaded and 1500D sundown to place in my 240sx, I have now upgraded to a 04 Acura TL. I cannot afford a new headunit as the products available are close to one thousand dollars. So, the box is built, the sub is ready, the wiring kit is sitting waiting to be installed. Now where im stuck, So, since i have the stock headunit I will need a line output converter. I am unsure how to install this and how it works. Also I am needing to disable the stock subwoofer. I have been reading about how the stock headunit lowers bass at higher volumes to protect…

ok so im going to have to fi bl 15s and im going to have them on a crescendo bc3500 and was wondering about the wiring. so for one sub i would have - to - and one - going out. then + to + and + out too and then the same for the other sub. and the amp has two +'s and two -'s and i put the wires from one sub into the + and - beside each other and the same for the other sub is that a 2 ohm load? sorry if its confusing tried explaining it the best i could.

Does anyone know where I can find a HO Alt for a 03 Kia Spectra? Ive searched around with no luck.

Alright So My Girl Said She Wants A System For Her SUV. She Knows All About My 15 " FI BTL and How Loud It Is Because Ive Explained To Her And Showed Her Videos Of What It Can Do When Strapped With A SAZ 3000D She Said She Doesnt Want Anything That Loud But I Want To Get Her Something Good And No Sony, Kicker, Or Walmart Chirt lmao. I Dont Know Weather to go with 10's or 12's But She SPECIFICALLY said NOOOOo big box so im thinking 10's Its Going In A Ford Explorer 2 Door. My +Questions For Everyone Is What Should I Go With ? 1. Nightshades 2. FI ( Non Expensive Models ) 3. SSA 4. Other (If So What Brand )

Well got a customer wanting to do 2 10s in a center console of an suv mainly for midbass . What iv done already in it is 2 sp4 18s on an ampere 9k . . 4 crescendo 6.5 neos (one in each door) and a supertweeter in each door . 2 ppi 900.4s (one for mids and one for tweets) dual alts. Northstar batts and lots of 1/0 . . . Just looking at any recommendations on what 10s and where to go about tuning the enclosure. . Iv just never had to build something just for midbass befor . . He was wanting to get the crescendo neo 10 because he has the 6.5s in the doors but not sure about that

Well, on the Fisher Customs site, there is an enclosure for sale for a HDC3 15", 4.02 @ 36 hz.. Then I look at their loaded enclosures and there is the SSA ICON 15", 4.0 Cubic Feet, Tuned to 32 hz.. I'm going for something more SPL, based. I love the lows, but I also like the sub to be able to go through the higher ranges nicely too. So I'm not too sure which to go with? Any opinions and experienced users of either with some stories would be nice. Note this will be in a Honda Civic 2005 coupe, I will do what I have to do to make the box fit... but if anyone else has a Civic I'd like to now how easy it is to fit 4.0 cubes in the trunk. I will be swapping vehicles after the…

Hey... I might have found an 8W7 that could fit in my budget...however, I've got a question. Do JL's recommended enclosures work well at home? I've heard they're optimized for in-vehicle cabin gain. If so, does anyone have recommendations for enclosures (sealed or bass reflex) for this little beast? Thanks in advance.

Hello again. I'm thinking of getting a single 4 channel amp to power my front stage plus one sub. The amps I'm considering are the Diamond Audio D6600.4, or the Arc Audio 4150XXK. Fronts would be getting on average 75 to 80 watts rms per side and the sub 300+ watts @ 4ohms. My question is; are there any disadvantage or issues when going with a setup like this...one amp for the entire system? I really like the idea of a simple install, but, I'm more concerned with drawing too much power from my car's electrical system and I want to avoid that. I'm afraid that by adding a sub amp to my current D7 amp it would force me to add additional items such as caps, yellow tops an…

Well, I usually stay away from all the local shops, there about 5. But I was bored so I went around yesterday to see whats new. Theres one shop thats actually pretty knowledgeable/cool. A old guy at Autosoundaddiction(VERN) We were sitting around talking, this kid comes in with a 15" Team RF fosgate(sweet SPL 4hp sub) the dustcap was loose, but he was sure it needed to be sent to the factory for "repairs" Tested the coils, their fine. Vern says " I have some CA glue in the back I'll just glue the dustcap back down and you'll be good, save you a couple hundred" The kids like no"I don't want it half assed, it needs all new parts." WOW I tried to tell him, that its jus…

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....

Hey guys, I’ve had this system for the past three months and I’m not very fond of it.. Especially the Kicker Sub. It doesn’t hit hard at all and with some low bass songs it sounds like I may be using a little boom box. I was wondering if the system that I have set up should be sounding great or if what I’m getting is expected from this kicker sub. In my old truck I had an Alpine type S 12” amped, not sure if my expectations are too high. Also with my amped Alpine Type R speakers I’m not getting any bass what so ever. Was wondering if that’s normal or if the guy I had set my system up tuned the speaker amp wrong. I have a Chevy Silverado 2008 Crew Cab. The s…

How are the RE SR's? i have 4 that i want to put in my 97 S-10 Blazer. My whole system was just stolen. i bought 4 because that's all they had. i intend to do 8 all together. Ported to 35Hz as they suggest. I had 4 Pioneer ts-w306 DVC's and that was LOUD. I want to be louder than that. I went with 10's because the sound cleaner and i can do more of them so the "show" factor will be a little better. And EVERYONE in Lansing Has "4 12's" and i wanted to be different and do 8 10's So what do you think? decent subs? i hope :/

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.
