General Audio

Just purchased all for under 400$ canadian 2 12" M12D 1 ASA600.2 How do u guys think these will sound in a built to speck 1.75^3/per chamber box. I know u all will probably say i shoulda went with the extreme line, but that wasnt an option. How do u guys think those subs will perform with that amp?

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

So yesterday after having my amp turned up and it sounding much louder and has some nice flex to it now (new vids).. I am going to take it to the next SPL competition and see what i place i get..it wont hurt to try and for my first time whatever place ill get ill be happy with.

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.

Blew the power supply in my amp. Had it fixed and just installed the amp back in. On zero volume there is a loud alien like sound as soon as i turn on the headunit. Could this be a bad ground? My right mid fell from its baffle and the frame was resting on the metal door. Did this ground blow something else? Thanks for any input. Steve

i have a 12in hcca its in excellent shpe i got offered an hx2 for my orion i know he only paid 125 for it on criagslist i already have an hx2 15 but i want to i also told him i wanted the sub and 175$ i thought it was fair considering what he paid for th hx2 i just dont feel like its a fair trade for it i like the hx2s but i think my 12 sounds better than 1 rockford does anyday just need some info on what i should do

My wiring kit manuel says make sure fuse is not in before connection to battery So i hooked the battery up and put the fuse on and the fucker sparked and almost shocked the crap outa me Now i assume im supposed to unhook the - terminal first then install it?

Alright i got 2 dvc 2 ohm subs i wired them just like option 2 on this graph so i can get a 2ohm load http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woof...mp;woofer_imp=3 and my DMM is reading 1ohm did i do something wrong? NEW PICS! for everyone to double check! the ohm reading changes from 1.7 - 2.0 though just keeps changing

hello all, my name is Marco, this is my first posting. I have recently gotten my hands on a DD 9515g d2. I've never had a sub this massive and i've never used aero ports. Im a DIYer to the max, which is why i created this thread. My purposes with this sub is for DAILY ""SQL"". Im working with either a SAE-1000 or my old MTX 1501d and hope it will run at 1ohm after my BIG 3 upgrade, either one will suffice. So here's my project. Im building a middle console box for my full size Chevy ext. cab. I've already done one in my old standard cab fullsize with a 2512 d4 with the 1501d on it and it the output was incredible. Im gonna try to get 4 cubes with ports i…

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....

Wondering is anyone knows the recommended enclosure for 2 Digital Designs 3500 10's

Ive been looking into subs for a few months now and i still dont understand alot of it. just got my liscence and am bound to get a car soon. basically i want something that would be really really loud but i dont have unlimited money. i litsen to pretty much all rap and hip-hop. i was lookin at getting one 15" btl cause it seems like one of the best out there. if i were to get this what would you recomend as far as an enclousure and amp and anything else. if you think theres a better sub or something different i should get im up for all suggesrtions. thanks in advance

As title. Looking for something ready to go. I will pay for the right

I gave a friend of mine a demo of the 15's at a local show today. I had to give her earmuffs before she would consider the demo. lol

I purchased a Dynamat Xtreme Trunk Kit from a local store. The lid of my trunk rattles like CWAZY when the bass drops low. I want to know from those who have experience, is it advisable to do the whole trunk .. lid and sidepanels? Friend advised me to put multilayers on the lid only.

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?

Ok, i know i post alot and havnt not posted pics, or posted saying ive purchased things... Cus my plan changes alot, depending on whats going on, the market effects my choices. I thought i would post another overview of the system and some explaination as to the reason for the parts and also point out areas where i have made choices but am open to different ideas... So here goes... (Setup) Alpine IVA-w20, Alpine H701, Apple Ipod 30gig I have the W200 already its sitting in my room, as well as the ipod (which i might return to help jumpstart the rest of this) Im purchasing the H701 becuase its an amazing processor and is fully touchscreen configurable through the w200. +31…

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 keep hearing about knockoff products on Ebay. How does one go about finding whether or not it is the real deal? Even a store selling fakes can have good feedback because some just want the cheapest. I'm looking for amps and sub-woofers.

Well I know I'm no competitor or anything. Still a learner. I'm still here. Been checking SSA and CA.com occasionally. Been busy with school and working this summer. I'm sorta behind on all the audio gear. I still have my lil 94 GMC Sonoma. Its going to be my project. I just bought an 03 Jeep Liberty Sport. It'll be my daily until my truck is done. The GMC is gunna be my summer truck, but I'm going to do it up like I want to. I don't have my full license yet, but its coming. September 20th is when I'm eligible to get it. And I still got my Mach 5 SPL-12s. There still in the same place they've been since I bought them. Have had them for almost a year. Still no power has we…

Hey all It seems the general consensus is to use 14"-16" or port area per cube for slot ports, and that flared round ports (aka aeroports) are recommended @ 8"-12" per cube... Now I was thinking about fabricating a port out of Sonotube or the like, and possibly creating some flared ends using fiberglass... What would be a good port area to shoot for? I was figuring if I used a 10" tube that would give me ~78in² Av which for a 6.5ft³ enclosure after displacements nails it right at 12" per cube. For an 18" driver. Thanks

I was trying to look back on a post I started awhile back that ALTON provided some info on for me an can't find it.SSF/LPF settings on bc2000d I think it was.ALTON explained setting SSF.

i ordered two zcon 18s and a saz 5000 yesterday im gonna get carboard today and see how much air space I have under the window line and hopefully not have to go much higher and could anyone help with a box design?

Hey guys. I have a fair amount of experience with installs in my car, but it was only me driving it. I am getting ready to put a system in my Explorer, but space is more of an issue than it has been before. Questions I have: 1. Without sacrificing any storage space, where is a good place for the amp(s) and a subwoofer? What is the best way to approach this? 2. How do I find out what size speakers I can put in the doors? The depth of the speakers as well.

I'm designing a sub box for a friend of mine here, and I need a bit of help. This is basically how it's going to look: ____ |_/\_| Subs facing in Ports facing trunk. 2 Ports = 2Inches Wide top to bottom Dimensions are Total 34"Wide 20"deep 14"High 3/4 MDF Subs: 2 12" Kicker COMPVX What do I need to get it tuned to 34hz, port wise? If you guys would suggest a different tuning, what hZ value, and what size ports?
