General Audio

I dunno whats new on yer search cause you're like...studying or something so here's some stuff to look at. 1 2 3 4 5 That's all for now.

Ok so water got in one of my tweeters and I need replacements, I'm looking for soft or silk dome tweeters that sound very smooth. I would like the to come with there own crossover. I'm not going active til a little later. They will be paired with crescendos new pwx 6.5 pa speaker. I'll prolly cross the pwx at 3000hz or wherever the crossover points are on the tweet possibly. Budget is 80 and down. They will be ran on a mb quart 125.4. There are so many choices but hardly any reviews can one of you point me in a good direction?

This is my first post really, just lookin around for an upfiring, ported design for two 12" woofers, preferably tuned to 32Hz....please and thank you for any feedback on this.

Tomorrow is the day i get to install! A few questions So since i have to parelle wire can i do that through the box termibals or do i have to do it directly sub to sub? Also a link to a good 50hz tone cd

Like 10 years awhile, it's good to be back here and poking around at everything thats going down. Putting a new system together in my truck and have a couple questions. I have the option to use 6x9 components in my front doors, are they worth it these days or should I just stick with 6.5's? Looks like RE Audio and Kicker make a few different 6x9 components, I would most likely go with the RE's if I went that route. The IA componets look enticing for the price as well. Does anyone have much experience with Double Cab Tacoma's and what can be stuffed behind the seat? I'd loved to be able to fit a Single ported 12" with space for the Amp / Crossovers. Thanks a head of …

I was wondering if anyone has built a box for 3 sundown sa12s in a chrysler 300, and id u did or if I can get help on the box dimensions

If I bought a Kicker amp on ebay, brand new, never used, and with the serial number.. is my warranty only through the seller, or would I be able to get the amp repaired by kicker, if in fact it malfunctioned? -Marcus

Hey guys. This is just a simple question that i seem to confuse myself about, but i would like you guys opinion. I have a 2008 chevy impala and i just bought a 2013 chevy malibu. Im going to go all out with fixing my car up orion subs, rims and all, but which car should i use? Should i use the impala thats already paid for to fix up or should i use my new malibu? Either one i dont use will be my everyday car. Thanks!

Ive gotten my box completed and my sub installed in my car for about a week now, its going to be a nice weekend out here in Michigan and would like to finish my box. What do I use to cover up all my seams/screws so I can paint over it. Also I want to have a nice black or charcoal look to the box but have it be textured like steve meades, any ideas what to use for it.

i have this http://cgi.ebay.com/TSUNAMI-RDS9100-UNIVER...1QQcmdZViewItem and i hooked it up today but it says my voltage is 8.7 when i go back to the amp it says 14.05 anyone know what could be wrong? when i check my wires that go to the tsunami connector and put my dmm on the pos and neg it reads 14 but not on the unit. i bought this brand new 4 or so months ago and dont have the packaging or anything. and i cannot seem to find the manual online anywhere.... today i hooked it up to just my starting battery and it still was reading 8.7 any help is appreciated.

I'm ordering a roll of raamat to do the doors, back wall, and floor of my truck if there is any left. Is ensolite necessary or will I still get good results if I only use the mat?

i have about 1200 watts on the system and the oem alternator i think is 80 amps. i want to get an extra battery in the trunk. i can either get the kinetik hc800 or the hc1400. i do not know if my stock alternator will be able to handle the battery under the hood and the hc1400. i can buy the 1400 from a friend for about 140 so its a good deal. but im afraid that my alternator will die if i use the hc1400 instead of the hc800. does anyone know if i could go with the hc1400? o and i also have a H/O alternator with 130amps but i dont know if it actually does more than stock at idle so i dont know if the h/o alternator would be any better at powering the extra hc1400. any hel…

So i have a friend that shows me Prefab bandpass boxes and i keep telling him not to waist his money and build it himself or find someone who knows what they are doing (he only has 2 p2s i think at the moment). I don't know much about Rockford subs or what the box specs are let alone for 4 of them. He also doesn't get what i mean by prefabs being cheap and not having the right tune. He think i mean tuning his head unit or amp. So basically what is the proper tune for a ported box for four P3D4-12s so i can tell him to find someone and just tell them you want a ported box tuned to -blank- for four p3's to fit what ever his trunk size is. I know it sounds kind of stupid to …

so i really don't know how to explain what i need.. basically i need basic help tuning my SAE 1000D amp to get the most out of my Q. i know this is a pretty broad question and has been answered before, but i guess i'd rather just have specific help for me rather then reading up on other people's help. i've had the set up for a couple months now, probably early/mid november, had a "custom made" box from my local audio dealer. i don't doubt that they made it, i just doubt theres anything really fancy about it. and it sounds great as it is, but i really think that it can hit alotttttt harder then it is right now. atleast judging by what people are saying on the forums it see…

like the title reads which one of these would you rather have four of....

The amp im buying says it takes 4 guage... but its a 1600rms amp. I also have a amp on my door speakers that takes 8 guage but do i run a 1 guage and a distribution? Or do i go bigger and try to cram bigger than 4 in the sub amp?

Well, I Pmed jack frost the other night asking him about home audio. I don't know hardly anything about it other than Klipsch speakers are very good. I myself have klipsch 5.1's for my computer and my dad has about 6 klipsch speakers in the house. Well I was wanting to know what's good to buy for a 5.1 setup? I'm not really wanting a 2.1 setup just because I want full surround, I like how my dads setup sounds. but I know you guys are gonna love these pics, especially you jack. I didn't even know I all ready had heresy's!!!!! Here is my dad's receiver. It's a sony of somekind. this is a shot of the Cornwalls, these things sound amazing. here is proof here'…

Amp, wiring, subs, battery.... Their all here When i do start to do the build i will make a new topic in the build logs and go through the whole thing step by step. Until then --> PICS Refurb KX2500.1 (Birthsheet of 2830) Closeup of my Chameleon paint job on the end caps.

im thinking about getting either one 15 sp4 or 2 10 SSDs I am running a old school lanzar opti drive 2000D amp nothing but true power! but I want to know what level entry is the sp4 and ssd? what set up will be louder?! what one will sound better? I know 15s get deep and 10s get punchy and loud Right now I have a dc level 3 15 and 3 type rs all old school. But im stepping down for something new, So one 15 sp4 or 2 10 ssds?! BOTH will be in ported boxes! and powered on the same amp! I do have a solid power with volts. which will be louder and what will be better sq?

How are the RE SR's? i have 4 that i want to put in my 97 S-10 Blazer. My whole system was just stolen. i bought 4 because that's all they had. i intend to do 8 all together. Ported to 35Hz as they suggest. I had 4 Pioneer ts-w306 DVC's and that was LOUD. I want to be louder than that. I went with 10's because the sound cleaner and i can do more of them so the "show" factor will be a little better. And EVERYONE in Lansing Has "4 12's" and i wanted to be different and do 8 10's So what do you think? decent subs? i hope :/

New

so i hit a bump today on the highway and my front speakers cut out and stopped working for like 5 seconds then they came back in. there all stock. an i have a sony head unit. im guessing a cable came loose in the back of the HU?

GONE!

im still learning a bit here with the audio but im curious as to how to match the ohms so im gonna use an example then ask the question. lets say i have these subs.... Two 10" 1200watt subs at 4 ohms and Two 12" 1300watt subs at 4 ohms Now does that mean i need 1 amp with 4 ohms with a splitter that goes into the subs? or would i need 2 amps both with 4 ohms each? or is there something else i can do?? and the amps need to put out enough watts to match the subs right? thanks in advance for any help.

Dont think it worked, so go to http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/MV...=Portlength.jpg. The red line is the right way of calculating port length, right? When i calculate it, i get 18.5" total port length, but when the RE Enclosure calculator does it, it gets 19.625. It can't get the double baffle, so shouldn't the RE calculator come up with 17.75" of port length? I just want to make sure that i'm right or that i'm wrong, 'cause i dont see how it could be that far off.
