General Audio

So just got out of my car. Recently just installed my powermaster battery and finally had my sub turned back on. As i was driving my front left tweeter started to just sing static. The words from the song sounded like a DJ was trying to scratch it for real. I have a pioneer 9800 headunit and was thinking maybe my preouts went bc i heard that was a problem. I havent checked the main connections like amp output or even the headunits preouts yet. I will tmw in the morning. Just curious what people think. Thanks

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?

Just put in an order for the Boston GTA-1000M amp (not from SSA though ). This will be wired to two Dayton RSS265HO subs. I picked up two of those bnib for $110 shipped! For speakers, I will be using the Aura 6.5" comps and for power will be Aura RPM2150, both bought from parts express on their blowout sale. All I need is a deck and some wiring and I am good to go. I will start this build in May sometime when I get home from school. All this will be going in my chevy S-10 extended cab. No SSA equipment in this build, but I had deals on all this I just couldn't pass up!!

Well, I'm pretty much excited right now. Just ordered my new BTL N2 18 a few minutes ago. Just wondering if you guys think an aq2200 will do the trick of supplying this beast with the power it needs, and if not, feel free to give me an affordable suggestion. Also, do you guys think a high output alternator would be necessary for a late 90s Tahoe if I wired another battery in the trunk?

how long does it take to send??

Ok, so I splurged a little when I bought my new car. I needed something small, since its a BMW 3 series. I got 2 12" JL W7's off a friend for 500. I need to make a box for these that will fit my trunk in the Bmw. If i give someone measurements of the trunk room I am working with can you guys help me with the measurements of the box so I can build one? Thanks, Kevin

Like i said just thought i'd share this, no point in it. But here is the little Skar VVX 8 beside my dc.

Just wanted to thank you in resolving and issue......great customer support and will be receiving my business in the future............

let's say----someone here was to make a limited batch of handmade amps that were very easy on the pocketbook----I have a few questions--- 1----what options would you want---power wise and such 2----what size would be the best 3----what class would you want 4---and finally would you buy from someone here building amps? just wondering

Anyone ever use these? Hope they are decent. Looking around at prices on 6.5-7" monitors, looks like a great deal at Sonics for $140 shipped! Picked up the Kenwood DDX812 and these two monitors for my Silverado. Brian

For the record I remix quite a few songs and I'll post em up here whenever I do a new one. I don't like having zip files with all of them so I typically just upload them all to my kiwi6 account. All the songs I've recently remastered have a bass line that sits right around -5dB, so you may have to adjust your gains to get the most out of them. Here's a link to all my stuff: http://kiwi6.com/folders/wrg8208rg4 And here's a link to all of the songs I've gone through and remastered (I have a LOT to upload...I've remastered 65 songs so far but only have a few uploaded): http://kiwi6.com/folders/oaqnh8ntf0 Just did this one for Julian cause he wanted a remix of this song that…

Love the look of the boxes how to I go about ordering one ?

I have been ripped off, sold short, and stolen from in this hobby plenty of times. I have never ripped anyone off, ripped equipment off of anybody, or lied about any piece of equipment I have sold. Karma came back around again today in my favor, as I received a BNIB Fi BL 15" from an ebay purchase. Cost me 250$ shipped. =] Keep it real when it comes to selling your stuff and it will come back around! It has for me! =]

Is there a way to keep my steering wheel controls with a new head unit in a infinity g37s? Also how difficult will it be and what head unit would let me to do so? (preferably one with navigation)

I am going to get a 15" fi btl in my civic, being powered by 2500 watts, and i want to know ways to not let any sound come out of the car. Meaning, even with windows down, i dont want to be heard cuz i dont want to get shit jacked/annoy people. Is there a way to do this, or is it just going to be loud anyways, and i would just need to turn it down at times?

so i live in the south TEXAS, and i have never taken my audio out in the winter, but a friend of mine is from the north, and he was telling me everyone he knowns in the north takes there subs and amps out of there car and keeps them in tha house, until spring, yall ever heard of that?

So yeah..I just ordered a Kenwood KDC-X794..I have read good reviews about it, but some people had crazy stuff to say about it. Anyone have anything to say?

hi, I just got a Kenwood DVD player with monitor (KVT-819 DVD) and when i tested it, i do get the sound but the screen is not showing any video. It is still at the playback menu but i see no buttons to press to show the movie. anyone familiar with Kenwood DVD player? thanks.

hey which system will hit harder,be louder and have overall better sound quality? 2 Kenwood subs Rated at 400 rms each 1000 watt kenwood amp rated: 2 [email protected] 500 Watts

So whats the deal with these boxes? I cant go onto their website, and i heard they may be having some issues? I really would like to find a box thats this quality out there without having to pay someone $500 for some 'custom' made POS. So if anyone knows a person, or company that makes good boxes, let me know.

Drivers side ... enough room for the mid right where the foot rest is, may be enough for the tweet too. Passenger side ... plenty of room for the mid in the area right by that plastic bolt. Paper template baffle in place. Similar to real life size (tweeter would be moved closer to the mid). Drivers side. Drivers side again. Trying to show where the mid could go. Passengers side ... looks like barely enough room if the tweeter was moved up. Closer view of passenger side ... should be ok on this side if I move the tweet closer I guess. Spring project ... fiberglass box for the (Magnum D2) most likely. Should turn out ok. If it turns out that there is too much air…

My friend currently just got his first system. Its a 12" CVR with a 2.7 cuft. sealed box. The power is coming from a TXi 1008D (1000 watt) Hifonics amp. Now heres the issue. This system does NOT pound at all. It feels really "weak" if you say. Someone told me that the box is too big. Im not really sure. Heres a hint, when playing hoods run down, it doesn't get the last 3 tones. Its as if the sub is not even trying, there is no excursion at all. Any one have any ideas? Thanks. Heres a pic of the box for the hell of it.

Ok i read up on my kicker 750.1 , and people on the web said they are running it at 1 ohm . I also know that kicker says it ca only do 2 ohms. how safe is this? If by chance i can run this amp at 1 ohm ,which would be better . a cadence txa 750.1 d, or the kicker. also i can run the kicker at 4 ohms and it will be 375 rms, on the other hand i can run the cadence at 1 ohm . Now being new to cadence is it even worth messing with. because i have 2 of the same amps and i cn strap them together to get 1200rms at 2ohms . Or should i get some subs that come out at 2 ohms to work with the cadence. or just sell everything and start over. my subs are alpine type r's dual 4s. Help
