General Audio

Round two. I never decided on what I was going to name my HT towers. I want to get a couple gold plaques engraved with a name on it. If there's any other suggestions, let me know. "Stallone" is "stallion" in Italian. "Apollo" was the Greek olympian God of the arts. "Potente" is "powerful" in Italian. "Zephyr" ... you know, the new Lincoln. "Mondo" ... might go with that one, personal meaning.

This is a program called Audacity, its pretty cool. allows for a lot of editing and line in recording. Check it out its free and there is no spyware or virs attached to it...which is a plus. lol. http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcef...y-win-1.2.3.exe

I'd like just that as well as a 60 to 0 sweep Feel free to post links!

Hi all, A friend of mine wants a system for his class c Mercedes. He used to have some kind of spl system his cars, but wants now something small. He will buy a good Alpine head unit and a set of Focal comps for the front(without amp). He like the Icon but need something smaller, 300-600 watts rms. My first option would be a 10" Dcon sub and a small 2 channel amp(maybe a Sundown). Will that be enough for his trunk? will he be able to hear it in the car? The trunk is quite big, and seems to have no ski hole. What are the other options ? He would like to keep the budget as low as possible, but he is not broke, at all !!! To give a budget, hummmmmm : 300 to 400 $ max (witho…

I used to use the torres box program but cant find it any where. is there another good free program out that you would recommend??

i am thanking about buying a fi bl 15 and was wondering if my hifonic 1606 well be enough for the subwoofer? or if i have to upgrade on that. and also well i need to upgrade the alt? i want it to be a daily and i have a box tuned to 35 hz is that good enough? thanks again!

Need some help got a 77 c10 dont really know what to do for a sub becuase of the lack of room, plan on putting a box between the driver side a pass side. 2 feet across 2 feet hight and 1 feet 3 inches in dept. what can i fit in something like this. I am opening to any subs, how many if i can go ported such things like that .

hey guys, im looking to buy a sub woofer for my car, im just interested in what you guys would recommend. i mostly listen to rap/reggaeton (if you guys know what it is lol). would like to get a single 15". would I probably buy a saz-1500d or wait until the saz-2000d comes out (since all i hear is positive things from sundown amps ) the cars a 05 dodge stratus.

I was talking to a friend of mine earlier who is a frequent SSA user, and he suggested i ask the community. So here's what I want. In general, I want my car to sound as clear and full as my home theater system (5.1 with a Polk CS1, pair of Monitor40's, and bookshelf speakers in the back with a Polk 10" sub). It was suggested to me to get a pair Bravox components (here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Bravox-Audio-CS60K-Components.html ), but I like having full "surround sound", and i would like to have a pair of 6x9's as well, which my friend suggested were unnecessary. (I also drive a lot of people to and from places so it'd be nice to allow them to lis…

I need a new HU right now. I dont know if I want to go single or double din For single din im thinking about the Alpine 9887 (I dont like the new Pioneer ones, their interface sucks) For double din Im debating between Pioneer AVIC-Z120, Kenwood DNX9960 and Clarion NX700 and Eclipse AVN726E Now of course, with the double din I get much more features, but I lose a lot of things like crossovers, more-band equalizers, time alignment etc basically lose a lot of tuning options (will go active later on, dont know if the features matter after all?)and they are also much more expensive, these are $1000+ models. My goal is to have a loud car with muscle bass and clear highs, but de…

Hey guys! Long time no talk! Just bought a new truck and I'm going nuts listening to the stock system, so some changes are in order! I would like to build a box to put under the back seat where there seems to be a decent amount of room. Thing is I will need shallow mount subs! I was just going to go with the kicker shallow mounts, 2 10's which are less then $90 each but then I came accross the stereo integrity shallow mount which only come in a 12" Pretty sure I will not have a problem building a box to accomodate 2 12's which will have much more bump that I love! They have a dual 4ohm VC's with a 450watt rms rating so I would need an amp that would put out betweeen 8…

hey i jus got 2 alpine type r's with a kicker zx1000 amp installed in my 2001 toyota avalon. I was just wondering how long it will take to break them in? Like i dont think i should blast them right away, but how long should i wait until i can use them to their full potential? thanks

Hope the experts here can help, I have some OZ ME380CS component speakers that I am looking to install in my summer cruiser. Iis a 72 Cutlass, so along with the comps and sub I plan on adding some sound deadinig. I recently came across a Punch 600a5 for a reasonable price so I scooped it up. I thought about doing a sub on the single channel and the comps on the other 4. I guess I'm wondering what the opinions are on the use of 5 channel amps vs. 4ch and a mono? If the 5ch would be a good option, what would be the best setup considering it the components are crossovers, mid range and mid bass both 4ohm and 6ohm tweeter? The amp specs are: Punch 600a5 50x4+100x1@ 4ohms 100…

Vehicle is a 00 Audi S4. Front doors have a 1" tweeter up top next to the door handle, and a 4" speaker down low near the base. Rear doors have a 6.5" speaker at the base, & no tweeter. I am considering the Focal 165A3 3way component setup. Found Here (Or any other recommendations around that price) This would perfectly replace the worthless Bose speakers that are near death, as they are the same exact sizes. My concern is having the 6.5" of the 3way in the rear doors, an integral part of the system opposed to being just rear fill. The car is not very big, and my front seats are generally always back all the way (I'm tall). This basically puts them down almost right …

Hi fellas. I am on the market looking for new eardubs. I was pretty happy with my original ones from Sony Ericsson till they stop working and I bought some cheap ones which are very bad. My phone is SE Walkman W810i. The sound was awesome with its eardubs and I am looking for something at the same or better level of quality. Must feel good in my ear, sealing good the environment sounds like road noise etc, very good response in all desired frequencies and deep bass. And not very expensive. I see some for 20-30$ on ebay with shipping which sounds good. I have no knowledge at all about eardubs and that's the reason I am doing this thread. Read good things about Sennheiser a…

Ok... so when I started this build, it was on a budget and kinda rushed along. My hearing isn't that great anymore after years of drumming in a metal band, so I didn't want to go too far. My current setup is powered by a Kenwood amp pushing 40x4 and 300x1 at 4ohm. I really love it....but since installing these 2 Dcons, my front stage just ain't hangin. Let me say.... I can't imagine some of these setups u guys have. These 2 Dcons are bangin on only 300. Plenty for me, with my hearing loss and all. I'm running Polk db651's front and rear, with Kicker 4" in the dash off the head unit. Think going the bridged route at 100x2 would be better, and lose the rears...since they ba…

i was wondering if someone could help me. Im getting 2 saz-3000d amps and i want to strap them to push 2 fi BTL's 15" 1ohm dvc setup. I was wondering how i can wire the woofers to get a 1ohm load so i can get the full 3000 watts from each amp, or do i need to wire them for a 2ohm load so each amp gets a 1ohm load im new to dvc subs so this is why i ask. i want each of the subs to be running at 1 ohm no lower.Any help would be greatful thanks a bunch. also one more question wile im thinking about it i plan on getting a powermaster 200amp or more alt and 2 power master d3100 batts one for each amp and upgrade my stock batt to an optima yellow or red top and also run 2 tsu…

i have multiple questions. 1) i have two MMats 15 P3.0 . that can take 700 rms each. What amp should i use to push these? 2) i have a big custom box tuned to 30 hz . it doesnt fit in my trunk so i will be having them on my rear seat(tightly secured down) should i have them facing the roof or the front of the car? and how will it sound? thank you for everyones help. im a newbie.
