would 36 sq ft in the sizes of 18''x32'' be enough to do the whole back part including roof and doors of a gmc yukon? im trying to figure out how many kits i will need..so any opinions would be great..

Being a dealer for DD and working close with them i decided i should post this thread. Lets keep it intellectual of course but i want you feedback on over all DD products and everything. This information will be passed directly to them in an attempt to better their perception and reputation ( not that its bad of course ). Let me know what you guys think. Good and bad, give me good well written posts with positives and negatives about their products. I look forward to hopefully using your opinions/statements to help make DD a better company. I am trying to get someone from DD to come onto the forums themselves, so im also trying to show them there would be benefit in it.

I was just wondering what people listen to, to achieve deep bass.... Not just test tones and sweeps. Like songs..... I have been listening to Lil Whytes new Cd. There are a couple songs on there that hit extremely hard. ~MadroX

whats up with the clifdesigns.com website.......... It frigging says account suspended.

Does the air moving around in a sealed box take any temperature change in relativity to the cooling of the coil? Since air is bouncing off the back baff does it actually cool the coil more effieciently than a ported enclosure?

anyway, a little back story, I sold this sub to a friends brother, he brings it back to me and says the sub is blown and figures I could use it. with a little inspection I noticed a few things. the tencil leads were coated in the normal wire cover thingy that some subs use (red and black wires), well, the wires will still pretty much covered, but there are spots that seem to be missing wire cover. and the Positive wire is pulled out of the terminal a little (meaning it needs re-soldered) and this 18 has a dual spider setup right? the top one is glued on a big ring about a quarter to half an inch tall. anyways, the top spider seems to have pulled itself off of the ring pie…

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,…

im looking for an alt. for my 96 grand caravan, anyone have one or know where it get cheap, like between 2 and 300

During my night shift last night noticed the Nakamichi PA-1500 was the same price as the Soundqubed Q1-1200D. Is the Nakamichi the same quality it is famous for? Are they at the same level quality wise as the Q1-1200D or even better ? I've read how awesome Nakamichi was in the day but having troubles finding up to date info on the quality of there products? Also anyone hear the SPW-1210 their 12' woofer ? Any good compared to say Fi Q12 or SSA ICON 12? How are their components ? Any information on Nakamichi would be appreciated as the prices seem to be very cheap atm and I'm thinking quality might have gone down as well. Their 4 channel amp any good too? They claim to be…

So I want to put 2 kicker 12" L7's in 1998 ford ranger reg cab. Now this is my first time and I've seen it done but don't know how they did it. Last resort would be cutting through the back. Any other ideas from any of you?

From XM to Sirius I got stuck with XM because of my Pioneer deck, and when Pioneer released the Sirius tuner I bought it up quick. And I'm so glad I did, Sirius sounds 100x better then XM. Their programming is much more "mature" in my opinion. XM has been deleting channels to make way for MLB channels. They took off my favorite channel and that just topped it off for me. There is much more I could rant on and on about XM, but I'm glad I have Sirius now. Also the Sirius tuner is 1/2 the size of the XM tuner. But was also a little harder to install. Channel 27

Are there any sub box design programs that work for macs?

Hello all, I'm extremely bored and have been thinking about updating my system so i decided to make my first post in quite awhile. Currently I have 1 12" Fi SSD wired to 2 ohms, running off a Sundown SAE 1200 v2, in a 2 cu ft enclosure tuned to 32 hz. Electrical wise, I replaced my stock battery with a group 78 AGM from O'reilly's (supposedly made by deka) and I replaced the factory ground with 0 gauge. My stock alt is 130 amp and at idle when hot my voltage stays at 14.6 and up, even at max volume with the air off it may drop to 14.4 on songs with a consisent beat (only seen 13 volts maybe a handful of times with the air on and at idle in drive). Now that it's starting t…

I am going to be walling off my car soon and wanted some opinions on which subs to run. I really want either 2 15'' Zcons or just recone my Mayhem's to 15's. This will be a low and nasty setup with tuning around 30-33hz with 5k of power. I am not worried about number scores, I just like my bass loud and low. I know either one would get the job done, just fishing for input.

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

I was wondering where could i buy a subwoofer anybody know any reputaional websites that have good deals/prices i would like to know thnx

i started a thread awhile back for my bro but plans have changed and his financial situation has improved so im back again. budget is 1000 bucks for equipment and materials. these are some of the things he's looking for; crisp clean sound upfront solid bass without taking up much room quality equipment (he wont buy anything secondhand) car is an 04 nissan sentra, (base model ) left over equipment from his previous build are just subwoofer amp, but no sub (his l7 got fucked...) and some wiring. unfortunately they didn't get the set of pg rsd's out either i've considered two basic systems, the first with a passive front stage and the second with a active front stage. thi…

ok, i got a hatchback and about 8-9 cubes to put it in. 2 RE 12' HC's and am gonna build a big enclosure. what do u recommend for the box size, and wat it should be tuned to. i listen to lots of rap and occasionally rock. ty in advance. Sorry im still a newb lol.

My old Uberwoofer has really seen better days. There is tear in the surround, dents in the cone, oh and it survived a high temp garage fire as well as subsequent water immersion. Last I knew (circa 2005), RE among others were willing to do one off woofer rebuilds... I haven't followed CA very much at all in the last couple of years, but anyone have recommendations on rebuilding this old girl? SQ biased... SPL is for noobs -Nick

hello guys im going to start my new box and this time im building it my self . anyone who has work on some FI bl's not sure if the size matters but mine are 18" and im looking to have them to reach their limit using less power so going with a bigger box instead of smaller box with more power . my dimensions are w58"L24"H26" these are the outside measurements. im thinking of using two sonotubes either 8" to 10" because their 8" ones are more like 8.5" or 9". so i have to get back at you guys with the tunning of the box which i wanted to be 30hz sub up port up so if someone has time to make me a design i will appreciate it. i don't want something crazy just 45's and…

Just wondering does anyone else use the following gear Phoenix Gold amps ? Clarion source units ? Boston acoustics components / subs ? Blade audio processors ?

hey everyone i am in the market for a new amp. i currently have a us amps xt1600.2 powering my ssa icon 12'' and i am ready to upgrade to something that will do closer to 1000 rms at 1 ohm. i am looking at audiopipes (cant go wrong for the price...i have heard mostly good things about them) and cant decide between the ap1000d or ap1500d. it would be nice to have the extra 500 watts of the ap1500d but i am on stock electrical except the big 3 at the moment. my question is can i just run the ap1500d at the voltage for 1000 rms at 1 ohm temporarily until i get an external battery and what not? or will it still pull more power from the electrical system regardless if it…

I picked up my new ride-----a 2005 Dodge AWD RT Magnum-----Cool Vanilla----got it for a great price since I work as a Dodge/Chrysler salesman. man---the MS1000 and Brahma 15 are going to be happy in their new home

I have an 18 Bl and Saz-1500d. There was a topic about this (not for sure if it was on this site actually), that i planned on referring to when it came down to installing, but i can't seem to find it anywhere. SO here's what i think im supposed to do, and if anyone could add/correct/verify this, please do. Set subsonic, LPf to where i plan to have them regularly. Set bass boost to zero, and gain to minimum. Get a sine test (60 hz? (would a loud 'music' cd work?)) and adjust the gains untill audible clipping occurs, and then back down a little. Doing all this with volume 3/4. Does that sound right? I'm 16, and this is my first setup (not system, because i cant afford mids …
