Forgive me if there is another thread of the same subject but I can't find it and using my wii is painfully slow. Does anyone know when the woofer by AA and He Who Shalt Not Be Named (Ess em dee) is supposed to be released? I was trying to find pricing for a friend. Thanks.

Ok this is a continuation of another thread that was being hijacked. So I thought I would create it here. What? No way...... they ask u what drivers u have in the rear and u dont have any? Man thats hard to believe... but maybe thats cuz I am not properly sound deadened? I think that would make a huge difference. People usually say "hey are your rear speakers working?" cuz all the sound is coming from my front components. And there is nothing in the rear doors. I just want the people in the rear to hear as good as us in the front and I thought that wasn't possible without having some rear fill. But I dunno... If what you say is true, then I would be happy to not have an…

o what could it be

Hey guys, I have friend who is just about to get a car (Acura TL, the older model, like 2004 maybe) and wants to put a system in it. He has about $1K to spend after setting aside some for wiring/installation of the electronics and some for MDF for the sub enclosure. He already has some JBL components for the front stage (not sure the model, but 70 watts RMS), so thats taken care of and I don't think he really cares about rear stage. So that makes $1000 for: Head Unit- ??? any ideas? Mid/High amp- Rockford Fosgate P400-2, Sundown SAX-125.2, Sundown SAX-50.4, others??? Sub Amp- Sundown SAZ-1000D, others? I figure thats probably a good amount of power to start him out with S…

Ok i know the kicker amp shouldnt do 1 ohm, but i have been doing some reading and they say it can be ran at 1 ohm. When i say they i mean other users of this amp online. I did hook it up at 1 ohm and it did fine until i turned up the gain and bass boost. But with the cadence amp it runs fine no problems. It doesnt even get hot. So what i would like to know is should i run my kicker at 1 ohm, and play with fire. Or should i play it safe and run the cadence? out of the 2 amps which would give the best sound? and how is cadence as a amp i never had one before?

I am asking if a big car (ex: full size station wagon) or a small car (ex: 1990 vw golf 2-door) is better for bass? I am talking about the full bass spectrum 20hz-100hz. I always thought a bigger car was better because it takes about 8-10 feet for 20hz to fully produce, but it always seems a lot of people think a small car would be the loudest, so can you clarify this for me and others.

exactly what it says. why is the term ""SQL"" looked down upon, so much? theres plenty of sq drivers out there that are capable of getting decently loud...

Does anybody know how big a box should be for 2 18" Fi Bl's ?? Can someone please tell me some dimensions or measurements Thanks guys!

My girlfriend has a 2010 Elantra and wants a basic system that'll sound good and have decent output. She really likes the look of DC subs and I already know DC makes good quality stuff. I'd like to get her a single Level 3 12 in a nice box made my Pound that Sound or Fisher Customs. The amp that caught y eye to power the Level 3 12 is a Kicker ZX750.1. Is that a good quality amp?

My truck dimensions are 54" Long, 38" wide and 31" High. And I want to get a good box for these 2 subs 2 18" Fi BL's Can somebody help with dimensions or measurements. Thanks

I want to set up my new, (refurbished actually but it's new to me) Sundown SAZ-1000D right, so I need some legit test tones. First question: What tones do I need? I know I'm looking for a 50Hz tone to set the gain, but is that a "50Hz sine wave" or "50Hz mono-tone"? I've seen both, so I'm confused. Square waves? Sine waves? I have a very loose grasp on these things, but I think that a square wave=clipping and a sine wave shows the maximum gain setting before clipping... I'm so confused... What other tones do I need, if any? Second question: On that pinned thread on how to set your gains under amp/head units main section, it gives two links for tones to download, a…

Been having a hard time locking in a sub stage. Was all set on the AQ HDC312 D2 to run off a MB Quart DSC2000.1D, when I decided that it was not going to be enough. They are great subs that get loud, don't get me wrong. I would recomend them in a heartbeat, but I just don't think I will get what I'm looking for out of them. I am going for a daily ground pounder that gets low, but can still get loud. I believe I have finally found it. Incriminator Audio Death Penalty 12D2 MB Quart DSC2000.1D 2.9^3 Net @ 31Hz This is it! Got everything I am looking for. Killer lows, but still gets loud, and sounds good doing it! You will be glad to know there will be no more this…

I'm an older guy, just turned 40 and have gone through many installs in my earlier years. I've had some good installs by shops and I've had total crap installs. Well I wouldn't say the installs were crap but the bass setup was. I would say the worst problem I have ran into with installs is the box builds were wrong for the speakers of choice. I have always bought quality subs for my installs but often the boxes were build wrong. I've even pissed of installs by telling them to rebuild the box because the bass sucked. That even happened in a Camaro once, where bass should be easy to do. I've also learned that less can mean more too. Subs need plenty of box space. S…

was thinking of doing 1 fi btl 15 are 18 are just doing the single 12 btl are sticking to the 2 ssd 12s i have somone that wants to buy the 12 ssd off of me so throwing out more ideas.

Here is the tech/how-to link that on here that I will refer to later: Big 3 How-to I did the big 3 today in my car, (see sig for equipment/etc.), and I noticed something odd, (to me). A week or two before I actually did the upgrade, I had checked my voltage with a DMM for shiggles up front and on the amp. 12.5. Today after the upgrade, the voltage was 14.4ish, (moved around a little; no more than a tenth of a volt), front and back on amp. Both readings were taken with the car idling. This is good right? This was supposed to happen? Another question; on the link it says to fuse the alternator to battery positive wire with a fuse the same size as the factory fuse. I …

I am planning a new box build, and was thinking of using aeros. The problem is I have never used them. I think I can figure out most of it , but I need some help with how to figure out the port displacement. Any links or info would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Josh and I were driving down the road today and we witnessed this marvelous masterpiece. I have never seen such a unique enclosure before. I could tell a lot of craftsmanship and knowledge went into this build. Take a look. As you can tell this guy thinks his subs and electrical is waterproof ...

Friend needs system. Approx. $450 to spend on sub(s) and amp(s) Goals: Loud daily, but is not concerned about front stage, just wants lots of bass Vehicle: 1998 Chevy Venture, (will remove back row if need be to fit box depending on setup) Electrical: Stock except for big 3 I have thought about a couple different options, and was wondering who, if anyone, has had experience with the Audioque SD2.5 subs... Can get 2 15s for $280 and then an AQ-1200D for power... Open to any and all suggestions. Need more info? Let me know.

like the description said should i put in the hdc3 10s are go with the fi ssd 12s on the 2200d? this will be going in a blow through on a single cab help please. i want it to get loud but souind good.

dont bash this idea to hard but id like to hear some thoughts on it. alittle info: dad drives a 03 f150 and his equipment right now is a Panasonic hu, polk db 5.25" coax upfront and a cheapy clarion sub (4ohm svc) in a box behind the center console in the backseat and a 2 channel amp that is bridged to the sub. amp is a walmart sony xplod... so we're talking maybe 150x2 @ 4 ohms (probably less). my idea: make him a tri way crossover... (really i just want to mess around to see if it works) so, if i understand the idea, i would set the amp to full range and design a passive xover for the speakers. so the sub would be bridged to 4 ohms and a lpf will be used @ ~70hz and …

After reading alot of post on here it seems you guys dont like bumping to where everyone would hear you coming ,shaking the shit out there rides if not then why would you guys get such big setups?
