DD 3515 Supercharged on an M2b. Im thinking of 4.25 after displacements tuned to 36 hz. This will be a comp vehicle and a decent demo car. Obviously nothing spectacular, i compete in smaller classes. Would like it to still play decent on music. I listen to everything country, rap, rock, 80's-90's metal. Do you guys think 4.25 net to 36hz will be a good combo, ive never played with a 15" before.

Hey guys i have a 225 amp Excessive Amperage alt, 2 runs of 0 gauge and 4 yellowtops. My voltage never reaches higher than 13.6 and idle at like 13.4 with the music turned down. What could be my issue? also im running 6k rms and dom at iraggi said he can build me a bracket to run dual alts. I would throw my stock alt back in there maybe add one more yellow top and do one more run of wiring. Would this help me out alot? Or do you think if if fix my other issues i should be ok, thanks

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

I've been working with bass box pro 6 for probably the past 3 hours or so.... and i just cannot figure it out. I guess its just going to be said that i wont ever be able to know how to properly configure a box lol. For some reason i just cannot grasp the concept/doings of the box programs. So what i need from someone knowledge in the area of box making is, for someone to design a box for me. I havent taken the measurements as of yet, but when I do, i just want to know if someone will be able to help me lol. Here are my plans for the box. 2 15" RE XXX's. Ported. Once i get the measurements, hopefully we'll be able to figure out some numbers figured out on how big the box…

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?

Well, my bro came home tonight and his car was broken into at school. they tore the lock out of his door, damaging the paint job he just spent $3K on, and all they got was a $100 Pioneer CD player. When will it end?! Never. Good thing is, there's an even better HU in it's place right now. How you like that Bi*ches! Can't keep a man from his tunes.

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!!
