General Audio

I'm new to this forum and it's probably obvious, as I may be posting this in the wrong section. Anyways, I'm looking to get some component speakers for my 99 Honda Civic LX. I'm sorta on a budget so I'm just replacing the stock front door speakers for now. I was thinking about getting a pair of Infinity Reference 6020cs as they have great reviews on Crutchfield. However, someone in another forum told me that I could get better for the same amount of money, and to perhaps direct my inquiry here. Does anyone have any advice? I plan to use this with a Clarion DXZ585USB CD receiver without any type of amp for the time being... Any advice would be great. I'm super poor and jus…

I decide to make a couple vids of hairtricks. My last box was much easier to do hair tricks because it was tuned at 25Hz. This box is tuned at 38Hz and is much harder. But its all for fun so enjoy... p.s. My mom is a teacher and we did this video for her students. This is the better vid.

Is there anything special to put behind the subs when you drop it into the enclosure so air does not leak between the sub and the front face they are resting in?

basically, i've had a major drop in bass in my car. i have 2 fi BLs and 2 kicker 1000w amps. initially, i had trouble with my iPod cable(dock to aux cord , the 7$ one from ebay) so i bought a new one. well now all of a sudden, my cds have also lost the quality. the stock speakers in the door hit harder as of right now. when i turn the knob all the way and put the volume up, i finally get what i should be getting at about 1/4 turned. i looked at the amps thinking 1 of them was dead and they both were fine. i dont really know much about wiring but will probably read up on it 2morrow since i will have some free time to look at it, but this is what basically happens http://pi…

Hey guys , need a little help here i have my mono amp under my driver seat , and my component's amp under my passenger seat, now i am going to be entering into street stock division this season, and i heard from a reliable source that i would have to move my amps into the trunk to qualify in street stock , and then i heard from another reliable source that as long as the amps are completely hidden under the seat that it would be all good, ??? which is the correct info ?? any help or advice would be apreciated, thanks

Long story short short... i bought two NS 15's from a guy on CA.com.good guy.he shipped what he said he would ship....but what i received was...ehhh...well...just look......

I just installed 8 brand new cadence comp. speakers, took out the factory speakers. I wanna blow them up, can someone tell me how. I heard that hooking them in 120 volts (regular outlet) will do the trick. Is there an easier way, or another better way? Kinda a goofy random question, and if not allowed on this forum, an admin can just take it off. =] thanks

I'll be there with three vehicles. Who all's going and where are you coming from?

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.

Okay I am thinking about purchasing a Kicker Solo Baric L7 15" and the guy selling it to me is charging me 200 dollars, is that a good price? It's about a year old and in a ported box. Also he is selling me a Sundown SAE-1000d for 250 is that a good price? Would i need another battery to run this sub?

has anyone ever delt with http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com

Is anyone willing to do a box design for me.... I have all the materials. I am just not able to design boxes myself..... thinking of using aero ports as well.

okayyy soo this weekend i finally installed part of the system on the new blazer and where i ran my power wire through the firewall gets reaaaally close to the right manifold and it emits a looot of heat. i put some split wire loom but its melting slowly hahaha i need something stronger. what do u guys suggest?

I went to my first car audio competition over the past weekend. I finished first in my division ( amatuer). It was a neat experience. I scored well for my first show and met some really cool people. I got some help from a world champ sound quality guy. He brought out an RTA, we talked and tuned for about 2 hours before I got judged. Learned alot just in the short amount of time. Was all in all great time. Also wanted to thank M5 for his input and sharing knowledge. Cant wait till the next show, I can attend. This may be the start of a real addiction LOL!!!

Hello, I'm a car installer at a local shop. Me and a couple guys recently put front speakers and rear speakers into a 09 honda civic. The problem we are having is that the rear speakers are very very faint in volume. The rear speakers are hitting very hard with bass, it's just that the sound is very low. Also, when we turn the volume from the factory radio down to 4 the clean sweet unit unit just shuts off. We have the clean sweet unit hooked up through the factory amp. We installed component speakers in the front and rear. Any ideas?

2 kicker cvrs in my 1995 accord.....should i get a ported box or a sealed box. And does dynamat make my system louder, and reduce rattling? I just want 100% clean bass and 0 % rattling, so what do i need?

Hey Guys Theres A Daddy Long Legs In My Enclosure. Can See It Through The Plexi Glass Who Thinks I Can Blow It Up ? It Started To Shrivle With 100 Watts

I decided to give my mom a very short preview of my 2 mojo 15's on my saz3000d. This is not the best reaction video because she has heard many of my previous setups. However, it is funny every time. The cheap camera does not capture the cleanness of the bass. It just sounds like truck rattle. Anyways enjoy.

anyone know where to get metered in the Manhattan, KS area? and where any nearby upcoming comps are?

So far i am looking at the kenwood KDC-mp242 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17549_...KDC-MP242.html# It has tuning and the rear control. My vehicle has a 6 3/8" mounting depth for the h/u, so anything over than is a no go. My paximum price range is around $100 - $120. Feel free to post your own experiences with different brands and components.

Ok i need your guys help im doing a fiberglass box in the back of my car its in the build logs. box will be around 1.7 cubic feet, it will be for a single treo ssi or ssx 10 i will be using areo ports just was wondering what people think i should use for ports like sizes and combonations im thinking 2 3's would work but thats not alot of port area what do you guys think.

ok so i have read and talk to alot of people about clipping and i still dont understand, what is it and how do you prevent it? and how can you tell if your clipping or not

Well I've been designing my box for my 2003 ext cab s10. I've decided to do the sub at a 45 degree angle facing the windshield and do the port the same way. The box is 6 ft^3 after all displacements and the port is 80 in^2 tuned to 30 hz so its about 32in long. The port is angles 45 degree off of the baffle board and goes straight down and makes a 90 degree turn and goes across the bottom. Does it have to be angled the same in the bottom of the box like its pictured below? Is that how you would do it?
