Lil vid of my recent setup: 4 10" Alpine Type R 2 Audioque 2200s @ .5 ohm 4cu @ 35hz Metered 151.4 @ 45hz with box top coming off about an 1/4 in....fixed that and havent remetered

ok i am building a whole new setup for my truck spending some money for new alt and battery's now i dont know weather to do 4 12's or 2 18 in the back of my blazer. what would everyone recommend doing if they had the choice. between the 4 12's or 2 18's im not going for pur SPL but i would like my truck to be loud with the bass but also able to hear the music. anything and any opions are welcome

Ok, Which 15"s would you recommend for SPL in a Blowthrough? First of all, the box options, there is a "3 Chamber, Single Reflex Bandpass" http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/bpass3cham.gif but i saw somewhere that when they are firing at each other, there will be much noise cancellation... So what would be the other ways for a blowthrough? But second, what sub would you recommend? For a budget under $300 per sub which is the best spl sub out there that will work good in ^^ whichever box...? It will be as a daily driver, but just high spl levels. Would sundown be best for power? For keeping a slightly low price?

Buying a 1996 Lincoln Town Car I'm replacing the stock speakers of course but not going overboard this time so I was thinking for the front doors a set of Focal Ca1 # 5" x 7" Access Series Car Speakers # Power Handling: * Peak: 240 watts per pair / 120 watts each * RMS: 120 watts per pair / 60 watts each # All weather woven fiberglass cone woofer # Butyl rubber surround # 1" Aluminum inverted dome tweeter (TN44) # Stamped steel basket # Humidity resistant cone # Rotating tweeter # 4 ohms impedance And the speaker rack in the back a set of Focal 690 cvx # 6" x 9" Focal Polyglass 2-Way Coaxial Speakers # Power Handling: * Peak: 320 watts per pair / 160 watts eac…

I am thinking of going with 2 sets of components for my front stage and doing away with the rears.(maybe) I have a Alpine PDX 4.150 that does 150 x 4 rms to each channel. Right now I have the fronts on the front channel rca and the rears on the rear channel RCA's. So I do not mess with imaging too bad do I just run RCA Y spitters just on the front channel from the head unit so I can use all 4 channels of this amp? I need something to keep up with two 18's and I think my current front stage would but since my rears will blocked by the huge box I might as well double up front and use all 600 of this amp

i got the fosgate 1500x1 mini and the amp has 4 gauge inputs. on the fosgate site it sys i will lose alot of power if i go the 4 gauge way. so should i just use 1/0 up until like a foot away from the battery and then run 4 gauge? or will just 4 gauge be aright??

Well i'm new here and i'm looking on oppions for a new system this is wut i am comming off of 2 db drive platinum 15's dual 4's seal box running off an auttek 1500.1 mx amp.. sold that becuse they were both nothing but problems no for the doors i had a shop but in the only comps that they had which were the mtx 6600 series 6.5 in front n rear which the rear r suposed to be 5.25's well long story short all the tweeter burnt up but one and one 3 door speakers work. they are running off an autotek 480sx amp ok this is wut i have been looking at so far with subs 1 18 inch Eclipse SW9182Pro tc built donno wut amp i would need for that 2 mag 15's off and ia 20.1 2 arc aduio 1…

Right now i have 2 12 inch re audio se's sealed behind the seats in 3 cubes...i miss the output of the ported box i had in my extended cab s10. so i was just kinda throwin this out there to see what you guys thought about building a box that runs along the back wall and in between the seats. and also where would be the best location for the port. p.s. for got to mention i plan on doing this by removing the center seat.

Build details Vehicle:1994 gmc extended cab sierra Subs: 2 Sundown Nightshades 18's (dont rape my pm box there is no more for several months) Sub amps: 3000 per sub Amps for active system: 1 100.4 per door Amp for cdt componets (part of alarm): sundown 100.2 electrical: multiple runs 1/0 8 powermaster d3100's and 1 300 amp alt and one 175amp sound deadening 290 sq ft of cascade picture of box amprack and nightshade 18 below I need help selecting drivers and some sort of sound processing. the only drivers ive settled on are the Sundown e8's for upperbass/lower mid-bass frequency's. sound processing i have no idea on. 100.2 will be running a set of 4 inch cdt componets wit…

i have a FI SSD 15, in a 18x18x38 box, tuned to 33hz, i forgot to put the 45's in it. Its pretty loud so i dont think i need the 45's. But is it really worth building another box to put the 45's in?

well has of right now what i have planned is a yellow top under the hood with 2 kinetik's in the back..i spoke to some people and they said no need for dual alts just add more batteries..1 said i needed to had 7 batteries..so with 7 in the back and up front wont 1 300amp alt have a hard time dealing with 9 batteries? also is 7 of these batteries over kill or is this something that needed? http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=4580 has you can see they are a bit pricy but very strong..i see them on ebay for about $350 each...so what do you guys think..battery/alt wise? by the way this is for around 4000-4500 watts total

Can anyone point me in the direction of some? Trying to get some ideas for my Pontiac. Need to see what people have put in without tearing out the back seat. I have two 12W7's, two X12's and two Zv4's at my disposal. TIA

I recently read Galamonkeys avalanche build and the specs of the box were something like 4cuft sealed chamber for two 18" btls, with a high tuned ported chamber. He commented saying the lows were quite good. now, separetly a 4cuft sealed box for two 18" btls would sound bad, and a high tuned box would not hit any lows. How does that add together and work well? Off the top of my head, it seems like a large sealed chamber with a low tuned ported chamber would be the smart choice. I've never been able to experiment with bandpass boxes, so cut me a little slack.

21 total cubes 7 sealed 14 ported tuned to 45 hrtz sealed side will be built into my trunk. discuss.... ready go!

I am looking to build a 4th order or wall in a Tahoe at the c-pillar. I am looking at either 3 or 4 woofers. 1st question, has any one had success with a 4th order build with only 3 subs? 2nd question will a 4th order with 4 subs or wall with 4 woofers work well at the c-pillar?

Saw a similar post on ****, but it seems like everyone has an opinion without any real experience to back it up. Why do people in car audio hand out info so freely when they have no clue on the subject? I've been building boxes for over 10 years now and I feel like I've just scratched the surface of enclosure design. But if you post a question on boxes on just about any forum you'll get a flood of advice from kids that have never even built a box. Pretty frustrating. Is there any forums for just box builders? If not, there should be. Kirby get on it. Anyways, sorry for the rant. On to the question In your experience with 4th orders, what ratio sealed/ported do you think w…

I have a 2003 Saab 9-3 with the factory 7 speaker system. Right now everything factory the can does not do Dolby Digital 5.1 even though it does have a single center speaker located on the dash board. I am wondering if this set up will work or will i need a Sound Processor still. I am looking at a Dual XDVD8265 here is the product manual. http://www.dualav.com/support/manuals/xdvd8265.pdf And i am looking at this Amp to power the 5 channels. http://images.techronics.com/pictures.cfm?sku=ALP-MRAF350 I am unsure of how to connect that 5 channel amp to the head unit as there are not 5 RCA outs on the amp. I have a pair of Kicker Comp VX with a separate mono block amp for th…

I have a 2011 Mazda 3 and I think my speakers are 5x7's, but from all the reviews i've read, most people say that round speakers are better than ovals, so would a 5" be better than a 5x7? I would like to put 6.5" in my car but I don't know if they would fit or not.

So i want to use this device to power my REMO on 3amps and 4 fans! 4-Position Dual-Row Barrier Strips - RadioShack.com or 8-Position Jumper - RadioShack.com so will this work for what i need or am i better off just using a relay?

wus up everyone im trying to uograde my pollk db to something better but at the same time wont kill my pockets i got rid of my 6x9 some i need better image and stronger power so i need them to cover the whole car any suggestions is greatly appreciated Thanks Mr crown89 .

Been looking around for a good 6.5 half component set speakers for my door for good midrange!!! The problem is cant find any speakers i like for under 100$. Im going to power the bad boys with a "Infinity reference series 7541a" amp. Open minded for any speakers suggestions.

OK so I am new to the SSA forum. I have made my noob intro on the noob intro page already and now I am making my 1st official post. So, I have a new 2010 VW CC R-Line. It has the Premium 8 non-Dynaudio system. The system is mediocre at best. I really like the head unit however. I like the functions and the way it looks. So I want to keep that! The speakers have to go. There are two comp sets. I believe the front set is something like a 7" woofer and a 1" tweet. Rear is 6.5" woofer and 1" tweet. So basically any 6.5" comps will work. Mounting depth is good so anything 3" or less will work. I am getting this 5 channel Kenwood amp . Why? Because I like it's small footprint (…

so i was roaming around the internet the other day and i found this sub called the emf ermagerd that says it takes 6500 rms but it wassent released yet i eamiled the company trying to find out more about it and havent got a reply does anyone know anything about this company or if this is a woofer that has been planned forever and not got done or anything about it? or google it and just check it out because the picture of it does look beautiful

Hey there, First time here. Looks like quite an interesting site -- I got a lot of reading to do I have a 1968 Camaro that I have a custom system in. I have 2 JL 12" subs in the trunk right now, that are just in a standard sealed box. I am wondering what the best setup would be for my subs. Do I want to keep a sealed box? Do I want a ported box? Do I want them facing away from the passengers or towards them? I have them facing away currently -- as that is what I was always told to do, but then again I see some people mounting their subs inward. Any advice would be great, thanks. Jeff
