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.

after reading some post on setting up my active front stage id like to go back and do it with pink noise. anyone got a place i can get it from?

on how much a system would cost if i was going to run 2 15'' fully loaded btl, 2 saz-3000d, box, and electrical components? this might be for a future system by next fall im just wondering on how much a ball park estimate the cost would be

Well, my buddy gave me all his old stuff, but I feel kinda bad because he just had a kid and could use the money, so I'm gonna sell all of it and give him the money, BUT, I need some help with prices as research is leading to me to nothing, so What would you guys be willing to pay for this stuff. NO BS either. Rockford Power 501bd, and Power 451s. Both in immaculate condition. Come with a bridge to connect the two together.

I've got a competition tomorrow and had my batteries just arrive this evening. Setup is two hc2400 and two hc600.the question I'm posing is only one run of 0 ga. Enough for just this one time event or just forget about it and spend the day making a second run. I'm powering a sundown 2500. What's your thoughts? It will have the second run done I'm just not sure if only one run will hurt the batteries.

Here is the TEMPORARY setup: 04 Audi S4 Deck: stock, low signal outputs converted to RCA with Soundgate LOC.22 Highs: stock components, 2ohm each Subs: (2) Crystal CPE 8" in rear deck, infinite baffle, 8 ohm woofers Amps: (2) Sony XM2252HX. One is on the highs, high current mode @ 1ohm/channel. One is on the subs, high current mode @ 4ohm bridged My question is, the subs bottom out real bad...worse than my stock 8 and at less amount of volume. I still need to seal up a major leak from the trunk to the cabin, which I will be taking care of tomorrow but that should only fix the volume portion. Considering they are just 8's, should I just run the built in amplifier high pass…

I need the specs on this Amp or someone to help me know proper way to install!!!! Thanks

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

My first question is what subs can take 4kw+plus rms because i have 4 Rf 4000.1bd amps and was wondering what subs could take that kind of power????

I'm thinking of a pair of W6v2 13.5's sealed. Would a Sundown SAE-1000D be proper to power a pair of those? It's going in a 2006 Corolla Type S. Right now I have a ported Icon 15 powered by a JBL GTO 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms and a Batcap 800. I want to switch my system up to a sealed setup and think the W6v2s sound awesome. So I'm going sell my amp in favor of the SAE-1000D and do the big 3 and replace the Batcap 800 with the one of the bigger Odyssey drycell batteries and a solenoid. However, I'm contemplating on what to do for my front stage. Which would be better out of these 3 choices. Choice 1: A good componant system in the front door…

OK I WANT TO PUT EITHER A BTL 18 IN 8.00^3 TUNED TO 36HZ ON A MTX TE4001D OR TWO BL 15s 8.00^3 TUNED TO 36HZ ON THE SAME AMP. ANY INPUT WOULD BE NICE

You guys are great here and I know you know a lot. I have a friend that needs to find a high quality line out converter with a remote out for an amp. I don't want the Scosche because it's not the best out there. I was looking at the Southgate LOC but it doesn't have a remote out for the amp. Do any of you know a very good quality line out converter??? Thanks guys.

I have 1 crescendo 5500 @ 1 ohm on 2 18 sp4s box is 6.5 cub per 18 with 170 inch of square port! 18s are fully loaded. Pioneer deh80prs,4 rockford fosgate 5 1/4 and us 600 pushing them. 320 mech. Alt. 1 xs 3100 up front and 2 3400 in back of honda odyssey van. All 0 gauge cable. Never has it metered, but want more for comp. My question is this what about 1 more 18 with a wall and have amp wired to 1/2 ohm ( for comp) with some dynamat, or two more 18s? Either way will be just the one 5500 cresendo running subs. And how much diffrence do you think would be either way?

Ok so water got in one of my tweeters and I need replacements, I'm looking for soft or silk dome tweeters that sound very smooth. I would like the to come with there own crossover. I'm not going active til a little later. They will be paired with crescendos new pwx 6.5 pa speaker. I'll prolly cross the pwx at 3000hz or wherever the crossover points are on the tweet possibly. Budget is 80 and down. They will be ran on a mb quart 125.4. There are so many choices but hardly any reviews can one of you point me in a good direction?

I have a Kenwood KAC-9104D amplifier and im getting 2x SPL dynamics V300d2 woofers. i want to run them @ 2 ohms. I know how to wire them 2 ohms, but which Amp terminals i have to use? Here is amp manual: manual.kenwood.com/en_contents/attachDownload/6013

So I have had my SSD hooked up on my zx750 now for about 3 months and I love it to death it sounds amazing and all the kids up at the high school chit bricks when they hear it. I'm guessing I'm hitting in the low 30's on TL. AND I FINALLY FIXED THE RATTLING!!! But I want a bit more, it would cost around $1000 dollars if I sell my SSD&amp for $500. I'm thinking cut out the upper trunk railings so I can fit a 5cuft box in my trunk instead of a 3.5cuft box (1) Fi BTL 15 fully loaded (1) 2k-2500rms amp (possibly sundown2000 when it comes out) 1 run of 0 gauge, 8 gauge speaker wire And obviously some batteries, not too sure on which ones and how many I'm going to need(sugg…

why do some people have a power wire coming off the posative a negative batt terminal

Help a brother out:

Hey guys, this is going to be my first real long post on the boards, I apologize but im trying to get as much information out there to help you help me! (Skip to "cliff" notes/questions at bottom if reading my "book" is just too much) I have been reading up on this topic for the past week and Ive got a pretty good idea on where im going with my setup but its good to hear people's experiences and advice on wether this will really achieve what im looking for. Let me start off by saying that Im not an audiophile (at least I don't think I am , and by that I mean that I probably would not be able to detect minor differences in SQ from one SQ sub to another) but I am looking …

ok----some of you guys have heard the Magnum already(sounds ok----can be better) but I am thinking of a new 2 way set-up(wanna stay in Stock SQ class for MECA)-----so I am wanting to upgrade from the RE 6.5's and Alpine tweets-----I am thinking Morel Elante 6 or maybe a Dynaudio 2 way set-up-----any feedback would be great-----thanks

Has anyone heard these yet? They weigh in at 46lbs each. I got 2 of these cheep. Never heard anything about them but the price was to good to pass up. If anyone has heard these please let me know what you think. Depending on what I hear I may keep them or just resell them. Thanks for looking guys. This is whats on the SS page for the subs..... Soundstream

I just wanted to announce that after a whole lotta pming, www.alteraudiousa.com now sells the USamps I/S line through me. There are also special discount codes that you enter when you order comps/coaxes to get 25% off the bundle. i hope this relation ship is a long and advantageous one! again thanks a lot upstage!

so my dads cars alt went out, he bought a new one but it doesnt seem to fit it and now we have a spare brand new alt laying around and he said could have it. its only a 105 amp alt so i dont really want to replace it with my 120 amp alt but maybe someone rig it in with my stock one, would it like having a 225 amp alt? or would it not be worth my time to rig something to install it into my blazer

I'm going to be running 2 1,000w Sundown amps and 2 10" SSA Icons and today my alternator went so I guess it's a great time to upgrade. Any recommendations? I really have no idea what I'm looking for, but definitely would prefer something more budget-oriented as I don't have a lot of money right now and need to get my car back in working order. This will be for a 2000 Sunfire.

I just started writing articles for a guy who is trying to make a decent car audio sales website....so check em' out if anyone wants to. I will probably be taking topic articles from forum questions. www.mycarjams.com Click on the Audio Answers link.
