hmmmm...... where to start.....i know i have done this before but i havent really did it the right way, and in a manner that could be taken seriously. i am planning an overhaul of my beetle i will be recieving in just under a year. (dont ask about the Contour, long story about that) i want firstly, to get a good system in it right off the bat. following that, i want to get a black paintjob, tints, and some spinners (total joke on that last one, for christ's sake itsa beetle!) you guys all know me well, i like it loud and cheap. but those dont always (rarely ever in fact) go together. i want to know if i could go to far as to three 12's across the backseat. i dont really w…

Has anyone ever taken out the backseat of a sedan or coupe in order to make space for an enclosure? This is like a mini-wall type enclosure with two 12s or two 15s, most likely the two 12s going directly behind the front seats. I was wondering if it is worth it, i want to optimize output without having the rear seat distorting the sound waves, and the difficulty of fitting a larger size box within the small trunk opening(going inside an infiniti G35 coupe). Would this be a good idea? I have no need for the backseat, so should i just go with it? Any input would be much appreciated.

a while ago i was looking at a build log on a bmw and i cant find it it was like 4 tens in the spare tire well, lots of carbon fiber, copper rods as the connectors to the terminals....anybody remember this? and i did search! i even searched my history

I've been looking for new components for my 4Runner almost as long as I've been posting at SSA. The JBL P650C comps have served me dutifully (if not spectacularly) over the last couple years. I've never been able to find a quality set at a reasonable price that would fit in my doors without modification. I believe that the Hybrid Audio Clarus C51-2's will fit in there fine. I can't seem to track down the depth measurements in any of the Hybrid manuals, so I'm not comfortable that the C61-2's will fit. Can anyone recommend another high-quality 5-6" woofer with a shallow depth? As a point of reference, I also have a set of Seas CA18RLYs that won't fit. The basket won'…

so i really don't know how to explain what i need.. basically i need basic help tuning my SAE 1000D amp to get the most out of my Q. i know this is a pretty broad question and has been answered before, but i guess i'd rather just have specific help for me rather then reading up on other people's help. i've had the set up for a couple months now, probably early/mid november, had a "custom made" box from my local audio dealer. i don't doubt that they made it, i just doubt theres anything really fancy about it. and it sounds great as it is, but i really think that it can hit alotttttt harder then it is right now. atleast judging by what people are saying on the forums it see…

my friend let me borrow is 08 avalanche for a couple days and i was of course blastin the music....i had the volume on the head unit all the way up bass all the way down and the volume on the ipod all the way up wit the EQ set to treble booster. i played put on and on the high note the lights dim to the point that they are almost off and last night all fo the electronics acutally reset while i was driving the truck when i was bangin. the guages all shut off radio went off lights went off...everything went off for about 2 seconds then came back on and it was playing fine again...but still dimming. also the subs sometimes just cut out and stop playing all together when i tu…

Hello Everyone i just got on this forum today after ordering my BTL18 on friday.

Released a lil magic smoke out of my sdc2.5, was playing test tones and went to feed the dogs. Let her cool down a lil and she still pays normal so im happy. Guess this lil 600 watt sub cant take 1400 watts for more than 30 mins.

Could someone send me some pics of a blow through??? im lookin for some ideas and cant find any on the internet...

How do you use hz and know how to use tuning? How do you know what will be the loudest frequency or which one creates the loudest bass? quen

Could one of you guys rockin Trailblazer please provide me with the Maximum Width, Length & Height (to the top of the seat) of the cargo area? Any help would be great. Thanks

What I want to do is hook the speaker outs from my amp to my computer with some adapter to see exactly what frequencies are present between the crossover points. This way I won't have to guess where 2500hz is on a lpf/hpf knob that is only labeled with 500 and 5000hz. I want to visually see the range on a db/hz plot. Is there a program like I described above? What's the name of it? Is there a device that will accept the + and - speaker wire and convert them to a stereo connection for the mic input on my computer? Would this just be a regular adapter that connects the - to one lead and the + to the other lead of the stereo connection? This is to help get starting points my…

ok so my stock tweets are going to sh1t, they make a static noise all the time. so im thinking of just buy some aftermarket ones instead of stock, but i have no clue what to look for in tweets. like soft dome, hard the different materials like silk, titanium, etc. so if someone could give me a crash course in tweets it would e awsome. all i ahve is the HU for power and NO crossover just those gay inline bass blockers. i know ghetto but i wasn't planning on upgrading them but this static is relly gay.

Borrowed a camera, video is good and the audio distortion is cuz this song is actually loud in this setup, not cuz the camera distorts quiet whispers

seen this http://www.shockeraudio.net/products.html on PWK forums and had to share! Hopefully their as good as the OG sigs.

Meade got me motivated but he hadn't made his yet. Here's Hustla Baller and Run Quickly. I had to open all the doors all the way, open the moon roof, and it still had room for more excursion and it still clipped and started to stink. I emailed Scott about a dual 1 recone since a 2500.1 doesn't look to be in the near future. But, while I was bangin, some dudes heard it and one came to take pics/vids along with me, said he was friends with a local shop and gave me his number and email. I wish Meade could have hooked me up, at least he pointed me in the right direction though Oh, Bobbie (my new friend) asked "You mean the Jackhammer?" when I said " I'm gettn a 22". I laughe…

If i have 2 BTL 12, what should the box be tuned to for comps...i mean i want to listen daily but i wanna put up numbers too...i want a deep droppin bass but dont wana loss numbers on da meter

Hope the experts here can help, I have some OZ ME380CS component speakers that I am looking to install in my summer cruiser. Iis a 72 Cutlass, so along with the comps and sub I plan on adding some sound deadinig. I recently came across a Punch 600a5 for a reasonable price so I scooped it up. I thought about doing a sub on the single channel and the comps on the other 4. I guess I'm wondering what the opinions are on the use of 5 channel amps vs. 4ch and a mono? If the 5ch would be a good option, what would be the best setup considering it the components are crossovers, mid range and mid bass both 4ohm and 6ohm tweeter? The amp specs are: Punch 600a5 50x4+100x1@ 4ohms 100…

What would be a good audio system... i had a set up in mind but i think im going to scratch what i had in mind cuz it was out of my price range i want somethin that has good SQ and is a good daily driver but when im with my friends and want to show off i can turn it up and make it hard for them to breath... also im kinda tight with money so i can work with up to $1000 going into the trink of my car im lookin for 2 15's i listen to everything but mostly rap & r&b and bass tracks... anyone has a good Sub/Amp combo for $1000 if its 1100 or 1200 thats fine too

Me and Duran are arguing about this on Yahoo. I like speakers behind my head.... But he says no. I say yes. I was thinking 4 6x9"s again. Thoughts? And also, one thing that I have never understood fully is Active vs. Passive. I will be using the settings in radio and at the amp. So, Plz explain to me in DETAIL what active vs passive is. Thanks. =) Old system
