Has anyone messed with the SHURiKEN SK-BT120 batteries? it says it 120 AH and 2600 cranking amps an AGM for 270.00 to good to be true? i know Sonic Electronix is good, seeing how i've dealed with them before. but the battery is what im worried about.

so i looked EVERYWHERE online and could not find this brand, i got and amp for 10 bucks from a friend and its a jbc(just be cool) amp and i cant find anything on it has anyone ever heard of jbc

i found this on parts-express, looks neat. anyone have any info on them? would be much appreciated. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=299-744 Thanks, -Chris

Well I've officially had it with my system, and as soon as I get out of school I will be ripping my car apart and replacing everything but my HU and Amp (Alpine 7995, SS Ref 604). I currently have 0 gauge in my car, and it is way overkill (left over from a hardcore install). My car alt died yesterday, so I'll have a brand new one in tommorow and don't feel like killing it so this install will be very low power. I will drop to 4ga because I don't need anymore than that. Rip out my currently half-assed diy comp setup (Alpine tweet, infinity mid and xover) and replace it most likely with some CDT Ef's. My B212 is next to go basically because i'm sick of the space its taking …

i got a hdc4 18. basically brand new. i traded my box my buddy built for me. dude said it had a blown coil on it. and when we tested it out was perfectly fine. so i got a steal. i drive a Ford Taurus and the trunk space for a 18 would be my the whole trunk. i just want some opinions on if you guys would sell it. trade it or recone it to a 15.

What would be louder? Currently have a bl 15 in a 3.1 cu box. I was wondering if two Sa 10's in a walled trunk would sound louder then my one 15? I dont know if this makes any difference but my 15 is firing upwards in the back of my car.

I have a numbnuts salesman, that seems to believe that Blaupunkt is, well, the tits. What do you guys think of Blaupunkt, what brand are comparable and why. Just curious

I know not a lot of people carpet stuff anymore, I guess I'm stuck in the 80's lol. I've been trying to find brown carpet for the past couple months to no avail. I can find black and gray all day long. Have come across a couple pieces of tan. I suppose worst case I can get some tan and tone it with some tint, just would rather not if I can help it. Thought maybe you guys could point me in the right direction. Here is what I need (the lower half). Thanks!

Hey guys! I’m wanting to turn one of my car subs into a home sub just for music and movies. I was wondering what’s the best way to go about this? I don’t have a box for the sub so I guess id have to get one made from someone off of craigslist. What kind of specs should it have or anything that I should have required done to the box? Such as a port & air space. I’m not sure how either sub would work with the receiver I have. So please let me know which sub you think would be best match for the receiver. I don’t know much about this stuff so all help is appreciated. I do not want to spend much this lol. Thanks! What I have to work with: - Alpine …

CAR AUDIO DECALS and STICKERS Found this website, seems to have a decent selection.

need some help guys i got 2 12s havoc for daily right now ,Ineed a amp looking at these 2Audioque 2200D or Soundstream Tarantula TRX2000D either amp will just be temp can i get a lil help on this thx

Thanks to Andrew and Argent Audio as well as the guys at Fi. This is going into my baby:

After doing a little more critical listening of my 2 Havoc 15s in a 5.4 cu ft sealed box, I'm not really sold on the sound. My goals were a LOUD hard hitting system that sounds good on anything from hip hop to rock. Transient response and chest-thumping bass are vital to me, so I went with a sealed box initially for the sake of simplicity and a starting point to improve on. I'm not overly impressed with the sound quality, however. It plays extremely LOW, 20Hz has my truck falling apart and my ears pressurized, but ask it to play music or a 50Hz bass line and it falls way down leaving much to be desired. Above 50Hz leaves you wondering what happened to those huge speak…

Ok, so as the description describes... I've never built a car system before, and I don't know whats good and whats not. I do have some experience with home audio, so I'm not completely clueless when it comes to the technical. I ask your assistance in helping me choose audio components that sound pretty good, and are mid-range in price. System will probably be built into a 2nd Gen Scion xB. I'm quite the SPL lover, I get a crazy grin when the mirrors start vibrating. SQ isn't so much important to me, but I want to be able to hear the words, just a little at least. The xB has a 8 1/32" deep, double din factory headunit. The front and rear speakers are both 6 1/2". Giv…

I wanna see some videos of this song playing on you guys systems! Million Bucks by Trae

i just bought 2 kicker l7 15"inch woofers they came in a groundshaker box sealed until i get a custom ported box.the amk that came with it is a koleaudio 2400 watt i know its not true watts it has 3 -30 amp fuses anyone know how many watts it might push?and also the subs are 2005 model are they almost as the 2009 kicker l7?thanks for any info...

HU - kenwood kdc-hd942u Comps - phoenix gold rsds Amp - mb quart dsc 280 Pic of the amp My friend just got this stuff installed @ a shop and isn't satisfied. He told me it sounds alot cleaner but it's not louder than his stock paper cone speakers were. I told him that more than likely the shop didn't set the gain and i was gonna run through it setting it by ear. We set the high pass on the hu to 80 hz Turned the eq to natural which is flat i believe amp xover was set to full range amp bass eq was set to 0db I told him to pop a retail cd in and turn it up till he heard distortion or a change in the tone..he found that @ 25 out of 35 which i figured was way too low for th…

Okay so I have two D1 XCONs that were both purchased used. One of them reads .07-.08 on both coils, and the other reads 1.0-1.1 on both coils. Both subs sound fine when they are used alone, but once I wire them together it sounds way quieter, and seems like one is canceling the other out. Could this be because they are getting different amounts of power? I've been troubleshooting and am really getting frustrated. I've triple checked the wiring, I've swapped RCAs, amps, and HU pre outs. I finally decided to wire one in my 4.5 cube shared chamber enclosure to 2 ohms and bam the difference was night and day louder. I switched to the other sub and it was just as loud. Wire th…

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

I was just curious about this. I heard about it but I didn't know how you could find the mechanical limit of a woofer.

Hey so I see a lot of people saying "my car peaks at 54 hertz" and I'm just wondering how exactly you find your peak frequency for your specific application. Is it something that needs to be measured using some kind of tool or can it be done by ear or some other method. Also assuming my peak frequency was 48 would you expect to find the frequencies surrounding that range playing audibly louder? If they do play louder how do you combat such a hump as to improve your SQ? My peak frequency is not something I absolutely need to know but it'd be cool to find out right and it might help in making some changes to my system.

Can you use kicker power wire for both the fire and ground or does it have to be specific. power wire to fire and ground wire to negative? hope this makes since

i just picked up a 18'' fully loaded dual 2 ohm btl for my expedition and i was wondering what would be a good amp for daily driving? my budget falls between $300 and $450
