I was planning on going DIY active 2 way in the not to distant future and I was wondering what is a good Midrange that someone would recommend that likes around 75-100 watts @ 4 ohm. I was going to go with the Seas Nextel 7" but the puppy is a 8 ohm and I'm not sure if I have enough power to make it feel really comfortable. I'd like some recomendations of a 6.5" or 7" woofer with like 3 inches/3 & 1/2 of mounting depth to work with. My budget is ummm say $100-$150 per woofer but not set in stone if something that will sound awesome, clear, and low distortion cost just a little more. For now I plan on using the Seas 27TAFNC/G (H1397) 1" aluminum dome tweeter. Having bo…

this may be a stupid question, but i am unsure of how to order wire from knukonceptz. do you just put the amount of feet you need in the Quanity box and they will send you that length of a strand? in advance thanks for your help

when someone who thinks he knows a lot about car audio (and he doesnt) and has a lot of money braggs 24/7 about what he has? this one guy in my area has MTX throughout his car. i think he has 2 12 8500 subs and a 1000 watt amp. anyways, he always says MTX is the shiznit and that nothing even comes close. he also told me that MTX RULES the competition. i brought up RE and FI and he was like nope, MTX would KILL them all. lmao. this has prob been posted before with different people, but imo, it all depends on the install, and more so, the persons taste in music and what he thinks sounds good. im not saying mtx sucks, but im sure it is not THE ABSOLUTE BEST. everyone has th…

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…

After doing a little more critical listening of my 2 Havoc 15s in a 5.4 cu ft sealed box, I'm not really sold on the sound. My goals were a LOUD hard hitting system that sounds good on anything from hip hop to rock. Transient response and chest-thumping bass are vital to me, so I went with a sealed box initially for the sake of simplicity and a starting point to improve on. I'm not overly impressed with the sound quality, however. It plays extremely LOW, 20Hz has my truck falling apart and my ears pressurized, but ask it to play music or a 50Hz bass line and it falls way down leaving much to be desired. Above 50Hz leaves you wondering what happened to those huge speak…

So im thinking about getting a Alpine 9856....Should i replace my eclipse 8445 with it....or just give it 2 my dad

Anybody remember what these guys sold for new? What would one in good condition be worth used??? Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will soon be working on walling my 1997 Honda accord with 2 18 inch DC subwoofers (level 4 with level 5 soft parts), running on 1 (soon to be 2) HC1800 batteries with stock alt, 1800 kenwood amp, zero gauge. Now i will be working on this project and i should be done sometime after December. My question for any car audio smarties out there is this, I will post the stats of the subs below for the level 4's and the level 5's. Now keep in mind that they are STILL level 4's but they contain level 5 parts (such as motor and spider). So my subs will fall in the middle of level 5 and level 4. Now the real question is this, What amp do you think i should be running to these woof…

where can i find them i need some for my next build please help

:ugh: :denim:

hey guys, building a new box for my 18" btl, as the old one wasnt done right and was my first build so yeh, here are the specs, just wanted to run them by you guys before I go off and start. cheers

i got the fosgate 1500x1 mini and the amp has 4 gauge inputs. on the fosgate site it sys i will lose alot of power if i go the 4 gauge way. so should i just use 1/0 up until like a foot away from the battery and then run 4 gauge? or will just 4 gauge be aright??

hey im just wondering if these 2 batteries would be enough to feed my rockford bd 2000 and a alpine pdx 100.4 . i drive a 2006 monte carlo ss 5.3 v8 and i have no idea what my idle output is on my alternator. i found an irragi alternator for the car but i am scared of getting it because of the negative reviews i heard about them so i would like to try to stray away from buying a new alternator. thanks in advanced for the help

it seems like its just me and the shops ......... i need some face to face help with my recent install. maybe you know somebody that kicks car audio ass but works out of their garage?!?! thanks kids

A gremlin that ive experienced once before, and that disappeared on its own before, is back and making me a bit furious. Lows are diminished, kind of loose and hollow sounding. The higher notes are overly strong and seemingly impervious to lpf settings, have a sort of trembling effect to them too. Lower notes often come thru with an initial high note hit thats very pronounced and then goes into the actual note that should be playing but weak and with that "trembling" type effect mentioned earlier. Just sounds out of phase and shitty overall. Ive tweaked all hu and amp settings with no change. This most recent appearance of the gremlin occured after installing an EA alt,…

I am looking to get sound deadening for my trunk. Could you guys tell some good sound deadeners and how much they cost.

well what kind do you guys use? im about to mount my woofers but i dont feel comfrontable using the ones i bought to mount my fuse holders down, what use what kinda of should i be looking for i live in southern wisconsin so i have a menards thats about it and a home depot, but that like a 20min drive not really wanted to go all the way there for it unless i really have too

Okay, my buddy wants to put some stuff in his boat and I really have no idea here. I'm looking for some help. MY best guess would be to treat it like a convertible automobile which means high efficiency and loads of power. Now, this has to be rather budget friendly. He has a Sony HU, all I need is some subbass and some CHEAP drivers to handle the rest of it. I will probably go with a line array of some sort running horizontally throughout the boat. Now, amplifiers is my biggest concern. Being a wet environment, I am wary about this. I know there are marine specific components, but browsing through some, they appear to be nothing more than a traditional component pa…

I'm thinking about upgrading the "factory stereo" in the '05 E-150 next month as a gift...because what's in there now is laughable. The standard Ford AM/FM radio, not even a tape deck. This is the main delivery truck, so everything needs to be mounted under the seats/hidden. Here's what I've come up with so far... Source: Alpine CDE-9842, $130 new from Crotchfield. Maybe an extra dash kit if they don't provide one, it's a standard 1.5DIN opening. Speakers: Crystal CXE570 5x7 coaxials (http://mmxpress.com/crystal/crystal_speakers.htm) Amplifier: Damn PE for selling out of the Aura amps I'd need a decent two-channel, 50Wx2 into 4 ohms should be plenty. Something along the …

Sub: Fi BL 18 with flatwind and p chamfer Amp: Hifonics bxi2006d (again, its not sundown or anything, but it should get the job done for now and even if it is overrated, i think 1800 should push a bl just fine. Wiring: Knuconcepts.. look Not included in the kit are RCAs and the speaker wire. Also should i get 10 or 12 gauage, and what do i need to fit it into the terminal on the sub? Enclosure: 6^3ft after all displacement and port, and tuned to 34.4xxx hz. I guess what i'm looking for is the OK from you guys. What do you think? I think im ready but im just making sure.. please comment on the question about 10 or 12 gauge speaker wire and how to fit it into the termina…

I'm always so lucky. once I got a jbl 15wgti,a $600 sub, at a pawn shop for $70. they had it in a crappy box and didnt know what they had. Then a couple months ago I bought a soundstream tarantula tr880/2 for $300 in the box. now I have a soundstream splx 12. I've been to 3 comps and I never see ss in the lanes. But every comp I've been to was a local comp, maybe 15-20 car competeing. Has any one seen anything impressive come from ss. I've seen the xxx. but what about as far as number wise. any impressive cars with soundstream. so far I'm not impressed with the splx 12. thinking about switching brands. I know the amp is good to keep but the ss subs may need to go. I can…
