I've noticed that all of the high power subs are DVC. I was just wondering why none of them are SVC.

Hey, I have used the search on the forum trying to find topics discussing the use of a DMM to set your amplifier. I am hoping you guys can direct me better than a search engine. thanks.

Just wondered if anyone else has gotten any sweet old school amps, subs ect lately. I scored another kicker xs100 yesterday! (Third one ive owned) for a whopping $100. It still has all the terminal screws, couldnt believe it. Unfortunatly not a first gen like my other two were but i want to post pics and i cant! Aaarggghhh!

Are there any good front speakers that can be run off of my head unit or do i have to get an amp.

Hey guys, my gopro was DOA when I got to Indy, but I still managed to get 9 videos with my phone in 4k before it filled up. If you are interested in watching, they can be found here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7to2KxxZmANSRvaWJk9jvg/videos

I just got my Fi Q12 and my Cadence TXA-100d amp yesterday and proceeded to hook it up in my Exploder. It is a 2ohm DVC sub which means that if I wire it in parallel it would be a 1 ohm load, right? I wired it according to this http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/...hmto1ohm7rq.jpg diagram. When I hooked the amp up, I just removed my old amp and hooked all the wires up to where they are supposed be on the new one. One would think that this shouldn't cause any problems, but it did. I can't get any noise out of the sub. I also have a PG amp powering my front and rear speakers. The power wire goes from the battery to the Cadence amp to the PG amp. The remote goes from the HU …

Just wondering where everybody gets theirs. And can I get it on my ipod? Like on multiple excursion videos people have the lady saying "32 cycles" or whatever.

Whats up all! I am about to purchase build new system and I am starting with the low end. I want great sound quality, reliability and lots of output! Big 3 (Optima 750CCA and factory 90amp alternator) Alpine CDA-9887 Alumapro Cap5 V2 I dont know which amp yet but I have it narrowed down to these two choices Sundown SAZ-1500D US Amps 400DE I think I am going with one 15" subwoofer and I have narrowed it down to these three choices RE SX15 Fi BTL 15 SSA XCON 15D2 What amp and sub combo do you think would be best? All three subs seem great and both amps are excellent, any advice?

Hi. I have recently been having problems with my Kicker sound system. I have a Kicker ZX750 Mono Amp, 2 12 in. Kicker Comps, Kicker KS69 Speakers, and a Kicker 4 gauge wiring kit. I have only been using the system for about 2-3 months now. Latly, however, the bass has been cutting in and out. What I mean by that is that on songs that had nice bass before...now the bass doesn't play half of the song. It's like every other three beats. Do I need a power cap or what is going on here? My headlights are also dimming when the bass does pound (but not all the time). Also, on the amp, there is a frequency setting that I am not sure what to set at. Does anyone have any suggestions…

Well I had my first spl reading ever and was fairly happy. My system consists of 4 RE8's in a sealed enclosure that is way to small approximately 1.9 cubic ft total with an OLD RF 800.2. This set up is in my 95 impala ss. Well for my first system I was happy with my 131.8. I have a pic but I am a retard when it comes to posting pics. I was kind of wondering if I was pretty much on par for this setup or am I off a little.

As the topic states, I need to get my hands on some parts to start building up my pile of motors that I have sitting arround. these things are just going to go to waste otherwise.. all have 3" coils--all from big name woofers so If someone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. What I need: Baskets, Surrounds, Cones, Coils, Spiders, dustcaps, tensil leads ect... I've got a bunch of identical motors to build and some odd ball's that use the same coil (but have a different motor design) thanks in advance

What happens when u put a subwoofer made for a ported enclosure only, in a sealed box?

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

So I was driving down to the grocery store the other day and decided to throw the bass nectar station on pandora and turned it up a bit. I have one 10inch Icon on 1200w in my crew cab silverado. I go to leave the store and the truck womt start. So i start checking fuses. I find one fuse in the box is kind of half out. Push it back in and problem solved. The only thing i can think is the bass vibrated it out. Possible? Anyone else have it happen? Fuse box is in the engine bay.

Well I was originally going to do SPL comps but I haven't been to one in two years and I figure it may be time to move on.... So I figure, should I keep my 15 or sell it? I am thinking of doing a different build - from 1 15 to 4 10" woofers.. Not too sure what kind yet but probably Fi bls (or maybe qs) and strap one amp to them for now and if I want to upgrade it I have the electrical for it (3 bats in the trunk and a 350 amp) strap a bigger, or another amp on. But heres my question mainly - how will having more cone space but less power do? Will it be just as brutal if I tune low or will I be missing out a lot?

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…

Currently in my car I have a pair of Alpine SPR-13Ss (http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/spr-13s/), and I also have an 18" SSD @ 32hz in a 9cuft box. The SSD is extremely loud, and depending on the song, tends to drown out my fronts. So I was looking at trying to run some pro audio so I can get a clear and loud front stage that can be heard over my sub. I was reading some threads, and saw these tweets: Selenium ST350 Super Tweeter I'm sure they will more than outperform my current tweeters. I was also looking at this midbass: Selenium 10PW3-SLF 10" Driver The only problem with 10" midbass is making custom pods for my doors. I have never done anything like that, and w…

since we have alot of guys here----we need to have more chats in our room----we have it why not use it. let's all set up a time and date and we can all meet up and chat.

For a 12'' Zcon in 3 cubes at 32hz. How big does the box need to be gross? I can do 30 wide and 15 high, trying to figure out how deep the box needs to be.

Happy Veteran's Day to all that have served and to those that still are!!! Thank You guy's for all you do/done!!

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

Does anyone see a need for lower priced High end installation accessories? What I'm saying is if you could get the Expensive Stinger, Tsunami, EFX stuff for a hair more than Knukonceptz would you buy it? Or Dynamat for that matter? How about some specialty tools that are not readily available to the average DIYer? Give me some feedback please. This is important.

I would like to apologize for my previous post here which has not been marked as spam: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/59379-xplicit-audio-new-company/#entry997621 It wasn't my intention to piss anyone off which seems to be the case. I didn't intend on trying to compete with SSA. I didn't even think of that option. So I apologize.

I have a set com Rainbow SLC-265 components and a 15" arsenal. Will these sound balanced in my new '96 jeep Cherokee? I'm worried the sub will be over bearing. Should I just keep the sub lower or get a smaller sub? As long as the components can keep up with the sub that is all I'm worried about. I hate it when I get in someones car and all they upgraded was the sub, and coincidentally that is all I can hear. The sub. boom boom boom thud. How musical......
