I'm really uncomfortable with this question as I dont want to feel needy. But I think a while back I seen someone say that had another member build them a box. Not sure though. But if that person did build a box I was wanting to know how much they would charge for box I need and what would be the Pickup/Shipping terms. Thanks In Advance ~MadroX *Edit* Im pretty sure I posted this in the wrong Area...... My Bad

So i've got an Fi SSD15 in a 3 cube box @ 37hz. sounds really awesome and clean on the lows, up to about 55hz. there seems to be a massive hole in the bass response between 60-70hz. I have the LPF at around 110hz because despite what i hear most people cross their subs at, mine just gets louder and louder and plays clean up to that spot. there's no apparent cancellation when i open the trunk, the woofer seems to play all the way from 30-100hz effortlessly and with a fairly transient response. the thing is that its in a sub UP port back configuration, and there only about 3-4 inches of clearance between the subwoofer cone and the roof of the trunk. I had tried moving t…

Hey guys, I finnaly found the Powerbass forums I have herd so much about! I have been a PBX Dealer for some time, when I first started AJ (who is here on the forums) was my sales rep.....& one hell of a nice guy. We have been competing with PBX very heavily over the last 2 years & absolutly love the stuff. I have been convincing poeple on the car sound & performance forums to try powerbass for a long time, & I am glad to say it was about the 3rd most popular sub at the 04 USACi world finals! My team is the loudest in northen CA, so if any1 wants to E-mail me to get a 2nd opinion with SPL setups (after 1st ofcoarse talking with the folks at pbx) feel free!…

I live up north in michigan, in a town called TRAVERSE CITY michigan. And i wana buy 2 SI MAG 15"s and put 2 US Amps in 1 or 2 for comps and 1 for the subs. And i wana install 2 sets of Orion P's and my incar computer. Now this is a week long project i suspect, and non of its here yet so im planning this now. Im sure the shops here cant handle computers ( i can ) making them fit in the car and all that yes, making it look nice no. I can handle bills and supporting some one for a week or as long as it takes. But i know nothing about stereos and the wirign and all that, so i plan on having all this by august then before school i wana drop it all in. This is the plan someth…

I have to install all my crap in a Durango this Saturday...but I won't have alot of time. Was wondering if anyone had any tips/pictures of how they ran some wire in there...for power and rca's. An 89 blazer was the last SUV install I did lol.

alright alright... i posted all my optimas for sale here localy here lastnight while i was drunk... i woke up and my email was full of people who want them.... so ill have some funds for new ones.... i have a friend here in town that has 4 optima yellow d 31a's... they are the largest... a normal yellow top like i have now is 55 amp hours.. these d31's are 75... 300 amp hours with 4 or just pick up two new dekas.... 100 amp hours each... so 200 amp hours ...... i have about 250 amp hours as it is now.

Well I purchased 2 IA LI 15's and want to build a box 8 cubes after displacemnt. I'm wanting to use the psp ports to tune it to 32hz. My question is can I use 4-4" ports and have enough port area? Psp's calculator says 14.61" in length for my desired tuning but a local shop told me do 6" ports. Which is going to work better? ------this is going in my 07 Ford Escape with usable dim. of 40wx22dx22h

Hey guys just a quick qustion. I was digging through some old amps I have and i found an old school orion hcca 250 digital reference 2 channel. On this amp there is a clipping indicator, Should i trust this light? how accurate is it.? Also i have a rubicon with the same thing.

ok so i found these in my garage and i have no idea what the hell they are could someone help me out i think they are like crossovers or something but i have no idea it says infinity reference on it

so i am looking into one of these for my next build. my idea is to have this installed so when i am bumping i can see how much rms is going to my subs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350286314830&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT i think this would be pretty cool to have as i could monitor how much rms the subs are getting and if the amps start to clip i will see it on the clamp meter. well i think i will see something but i could be wrong. so i would like some input: 1. would this we a useful tool 2. would you use one 3. yes i know this wouldn't tell me rms it would only tell me current but current multiply by the voltage i get wattage! my next buil…

I ask because i dont have heavy basd till volume 20-23/25max Gain is 24v at volume 25 I may try it out because i have s clipping indicator

i did a price match with SonicElectronix they have there kicker pdk1 kits for $120 and i found it on another site for $85 and they price matched it..i just ordered 2 more kits for $170 with the coupon code..im not sure if it still works but i tryed adding a kit to cart and put in the code and the item went down to $85 so give it a try if you need some..heres the code lp17021k

Lol so i found some old subs in my uncles garage and i told him i would take them off his hands they are Rockford Fosgate Punch HE 15". Need a recone but i want to give them to my little brother for a birthday present.

still got more to do but its getting close got to drill for studs and stuff like that will keep you posted

I picked all of this up for $150 today! 3 pairs 5.25 '' audio art component sets, 1 pair 6.5'' audio art component set, 2 pairs of 6.5''old school crappy pioneers, all of the wiring, a audio art 360.6 xe amp and a 160.4xe amp. I'm hoping to install this in my tahoe,what do you guys think? did i do allright?

Are they simi quality amplifiers....maybe for the wifes car? I may have a good beed on the set. here is all I can find on the BMA amplifiers http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/BMA_29e/ or can any of the board experts tell me if the board is decent?or is it just trash?

I need help on chosing an alternator 4 an 04 monte carlo...I want something that does as much as possible at idle. I've considered many different brands. Pretty much have it narrowed down to Ohiogen, Power Master, or gettin an Iraggi Alternator. Recommendations??? and how would I get a hold of Iraggi for a price quote. Thanks, Brock

Does anyone know if the volume and port length calculator work pretty accurate on the 12 volt website?

Hello everyone, Its been several years since I was in the car audio scene. I am interested in getting my sub up an running again in a cost effective way. Last I was involved, team PSI was doing a lot of customizing subs, many many people were running Sundowns, and Audioque, DD, and FI. I had an 18" Treo Engineering SSX which was rebuilt be PSI as a dual flatwound alum VC. I was running an Autotek MM3000.1 at .5 ohms tuned to 33Hz. Daily I was doing about 148+ db. I saved this sub for the last 5-6 years because I loved it so much and swore to myself I would use it again some day. Team DOA was killin it in the Chicagoland competitions, especiall…
