General Audio

Well guys im on a super tight budget for my next build so im looking for someone in the Charlotte/Mooresville, NC area that will allow me to use there tools to cut the wood for my next box. Im in an apartment complex and i have no means of getting it done and pretty much all local shops want from 500-1000 to build an 9 cube box and to me that's ridicules. My last box cost me 35 for the sheet of wood and my time to build. If anyone out there wood be willing to let me use there stuff or cut the wood for me for a small fee id much appreciate it. Thanks, Alan

Told me sundown amps put out dirty power I just laughed and left

Sup good people, I'm almost done with my installation...maybe another week or two, depending on my schedule. I've routed the power cable on the passenger side, the audio connects down the middle and all the speaker wiring along the driver's side. Now, I've built an amp rack to hold a DA D152 with the crossovers just to the left and right of it. The speaker wires going to the crossover that sits to the right of the amp will have to cross the power and ground cables. I can't believe I've gotten this far and totally forgot the rule about about keeping speaker wires away from power cables. My question is, will I definitely have audible interference? I heard/read somewhere th…

Its been a while since i was on here last. Whats everybody been up to?! I know im bout to do a pretty sweet upgrade for system!

Ok so i ordered 2 x Sundown Audio Ev2 12 Subwoofer E12v2 500W E SERIES (D2/D4: Dual 4 Ohm) on May 12 they were on back order till the 20 and it still says awaiting shipment? I messaged them and no one has gotten back to me?

I live in west Los angeles (santa monica) and my local shop wants $200 just for instalation and $400 to build a ported box. They must be out of their f**king minds. So if anybody lives in los angeles and can build me a box and install my sub and amp, please post. We can discuss Rates and fee's later. This is a good way to earn some extra cash, I will pay for all the supplies and materials+ extra money for labor (we can discuss how much in private via messaging) thanks C

Lotsa stuff i got recently, an Eclipse 8053. The marantz SR8400 going to my HT system. It wouldn't fit my old rack so i had to put it on my TV stand. RE XXX 6.5 and they accidentally shipped me a re 6.5 so i took pix for comparison. Lastly, a Concept 1200D i got real cheap.

I am in need of a box design. I have a 99 grand am and Im going to build a ported box for one of my atlas15

Hey Guys.....I have recently purchased a SAZ 1500D and it's powering 2 Powerbass ES 15's in a sealed box. I'm now interested in getting more sound than what I've got now that I have more power. Here's my existing box. I've talked to a guy who's been doing car audio installs for many years. Being that I've got a trunk car and my back seat doesn't lay down, he thought this would be a good design. He said it basically takes all the bass out of my trunk and directs it into my cabin. It sounds like a good idea but I'd just like to get more opinions. It would be with my existing 15's. Here's the box design. It's 7 cubes net and has a 3.3 cube down chamber with an 8 X …

I've been looking at this old armored truck from the Andy Griffith days for a few minutes. I was just wondering what I could do with it.What class, if any, could there be to run it in? I'm trying to figure out how to put the pictures in here. It's giving me a hard time. I have them in my gallery but, i'm tryin to get them out here. Any help on that would be nice too. Anyy ideas on the truck would be cool. Thanks!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWN:IT shipping as always is high, but for the price the auction ended... why the hell not? Wonder how much I can sell them for locally....

what's this remind you of? ok, this company was brought to my attention by soundsplinter, referring to something else. so i get to the website and what do i see? yep, looks like an uberwoofer (albeit with a smaller motor structure,or so it seems) to me!! i wonder how close this thing is to the uberwoofer? steve, ryan...u guys ever get t/s parameters on ur uber's? i wonder if i can find any on the svsubs... but just something to make y'all think..hehe yeah, i know they are both made by tc sounds.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well, another essential piece of equipment for the Royal Regal project showed up today... Ah yes, the beautiful Diamond Audio D7056. Enjoy:

Looking for an alarm for under $400 bucks w/ all the bells and whistles. Window locks, radio valet, temp sensor; pretty much the works. Any suggestions on what I should buy?

Ok, well i am getting my inventory of CDT products on Sept.8th and am looking for a car or two to possibly sponsor/rep. The car(s) would be shown on the webpage of the install and the car itself. Don't need anything too flashy but something more than just stock locations and a MDF(no carpet) box. This isn't a free ride on speakers but i bet you won't complain either on how much you pay. Also for whoever gets picked,if any, will also recieve rep points for those people who are referred to our site. Email me at: [email protected] Please title to email "Rep" or "Sponsor" o yeah, since i don't run a shop installation is up to you but you'll have access to a full li…

I was planning on going DIY active 2 way in the not to distant future and I was wondering what is a good Midrange that someone would recommend that likes around 75-100 watts @ 4 ohm. I was going to go with the Seas Nextel 7" but the puppy is a 8 ohm and I'm not sure if I have enough power to make it feel really comfortable. I'd like some recomendations of a 6.5" or 7" woofer with like 3 inches/3 & 1/2 of mounting depth to work with. My budget is ummm say $100-$150 per woofer but not set in stone if something that will sound awesome, clear, and low distortion cost just a little more. For now I plan on using the Seas 27TAFNC/G (H1397) 1" aluminum dome tweeter. Having bo…

Im Looking For Some Front Stage Components, *Tweeter And MidRange* Dont Know Much About Components so any advice or recomendations Would Be Great !! Need Something That Will Get Loud But I KNow You Cant Have SQ and SPL so More On The Clarity Side. I Would Like Them To Keep Up With The Bass Seeing That They Will Be Running With A BTL 15"

So i just sold my nightshades.. got $900 to spend on new setup which would be subs and speakers(still stock, idk what to look for). I still want the walled idea its just that two nightshades was too much for me i want something still loud and proud but the thing was that i couldnt power them correctly, dont have enough money. but the box is already made to fit two 15s, it wasnt really custom made for the nightshades, it was for any pair of 15s. so im lookin for two new 15s i like rap, hip hop, and dubstep. i loveeee decaf. i dont blast my music i listen to it very gently. but you know i give demos to friends and show what my stuff can really do! i currently have a saz 1…

Hello. New member, my first post. Looking to replace my current system with something better. I currently have 2 x 12 L7s, 1 x kx1600.1 and l2ci. The car is bmw m4, 2018. I've been looking at getting 2 x 12" icons. Need suggestions on the type of box and amp that would work best. I'm looking for sound quality but also loudness. I don't have much trunk space. Right now, i'm using a sealed box up to kicker specifications with polyfill. Current system is loud and works well but lacks quality. I would prefer a sealed box. Kicker subs only play low tones and need something that plays slightly higher (100hz-250hz or so). The stock system sounds really …

I'm looking for a new vehicle. Something like an suv or truck. I've been looking at Jeep Cherokee, Dodge Durango,and the Land Rover Discovery, Early 2000 models. I'm really leaning toward to Land rover as they are almost all leather with sunroofs. I was just wondering how good these cars are as far as Stock Quietness, Window seals, ability to add speakers (my next system will be a 3 way active so fitting that in there will be key.) Also if anyone knows any similar vehicles they have liked gimme a shout and I'll take a look.

Hey guys, im currently redoing my build. I plan on doing two 8" sundown neo pro along with a good tweeter in each door as well as maybe glassing a 4" component set in the pillars. Also gonna be running 4 DC 15" XL's, but im looking now at a processor. This is my first big build like this and im new to this whole processor thing so be gentle please haha. My headunit is the pioneer Avic-Z130BT if that matters. I just want to clean things up a bit and do everything the right way so can someone suggest what i need to do and just exactly what a processor will do in my setup?
