Sup, Everyone been out the lime light for awhile now, well funny thing happened today. First things first, been mia, cus someome took my system last year about this same time. So jumped on craigslist and there my sh** wuz right there looking at me, a box w/ 2 dc lvl4 beefed up w/ lvl5 coils, 12's that is ,box 3.24^3 per sub tuned @ 32hz, and a saz 1500d, for $350. Called dude here in town showed him the pics. on my phone of the box and subs. wanted to argue about it but he bought it from someone last year, paid the cash got my system back but, just doesn't feel right, had to do it tho, fool didn't even know what he had, had to get that back mad and grinning at the sameti…

Bought a router last week for work. router im not 100% clear on the compatibility of this jig. Think it will work?

well jamie (xtrmeasures) has finally turned his twisted mind loose on my truck, and its sic so far ill get some pics of the progress up a lil later

Like it says i need some songs that hit around 35 hz. Thats what my box is tuned to and i want it to be loud! I would prefer newer songs but any things works lol Thanks!

Which one of these subs would give me the most bang for the money. btw I'm only have 1200watts to play with. i also want it to sound good as well.

I think I am giving up on the idea of going active until I become a bit more knowledgeable about the sound I would like and mounting locations that best suit me. So anyway, I am going to purchase a new component set instead. I have a 2004 Tahoe, listen to mostly rock, hip hop, and trance. This is a daily driver and I am going to drop my focus from purely SQ. Instead, I would like to just go loud but at the same time I like quality in my music, low distortion, as well as good imaging and staging. I tend to have others riding with me and since I no longer am going for SQ I was wondering if a rear stage would be acceptable now or if that would still take away from the to…

last year i had the hifonics bxi1206 on a ssd 15 in a nissan hardbody truck and it sounded great. im selling the truck tho and getting probably a honda passport so i was thinking about a new setup. i was thinkin a hifonics bxi1606 and a 12 bl. the box would be 3.5@34hz. would the kicker 4 gauge amp kit and the kinetik hc800 be straight?

so i went to hook up my set-up. got everything hooked up, but there is extremely little output from the sub. i can barely hear the bass, but if i set my hand on the sub i can feel it moving just barely. when i went to hook it up the 1st time, i forgot to unhook the battery. when i put in the power wire it sparked and the protection light flashed. then i disconnected the positive battery terminal, hooked up the ground, remote, speaker, RCA's, gains knob, power wire, then positive on battery. hooked everything up in that order. turned the HU on to 10. could barely hear the bass. and like said above when i put my hand on the sub i could feel it moving slightly. played with …

I need to get a custom box for my SP4 15s fully loaded. I have an 2011 yukon that's needs some much need attention LOL

Do you have to charge the agm batteries or does it run off the alternator?

First of all i wanna say sorry about all the post,i just wanna get opinions before i buy thats all.I have never heard hifonics but i have watched videos and it seems to do pretty good.would it be a good amp to run 2 ssa icon 12"inch woofers?the amp is the 2010d rated at 2000 watts, is that true 2000 watts that its putting out?

Ok, So. I'm going to be getting a 1989 Jeep Cherokee sport soon here, and plan to do a decent build with it. One that I can afford of course. I don't really have a set budget, but I'm just looking for some certain things, and will amass the money over this summer. First of all, I already have a sub for the car, which is currently in my room. 18" Fi SDD (copper coil only) w/ a 9cuft box @32hz. Sounds fantastic off of my receiver in my room. I'm sure it will sound even more fantastic inside of a vehicle with the right amp. I also already have a head unit I got from a friend for cheap, a Pioneer DEH-2100IB. Right now I was looking at the Sundown SAZ-1000D. Seems to be a per…

So I am once again a free man and its time to get back to what I enjoy. I want to outline everything I will be getting and see if anyone has objections before I proceed with purchases! My main concern is the front stage and how well the mid/tweet combo ive picked out will mesh together. I will be purchasing and installing in stages so that is how I will list my ideas. So lets start where I am going to start in the build process.... STAGE 1: 100sqft of Raamaat BXT Full wiring from Knukonceptz Begin door pods for 7" Mid STAGE 2: Metra Dash kit for my car Eclipse CD 7000 STAGE 3: Seas CA18-RNX Seas 27TFFN Sound Stream PCA4.520 The mid will be mounted in the door down low in …

I have a good offer on one of these. It seems to be a good amp but im not sure. To be honest i have never heard of it before. My set up is going to be only 1 Dual 1 ohm Fully loaded Fi BTL 18". My problem is i bought the Dual 1 option because i thought that i may get another in the future and with that i could have them wired at 1 ohm and be able to find a amp for a bit cheaper to give them power. what i didnt think of was the amp i was going to use in the time being... i need the minimum of 2000rms at either 0.5 ohm or 2 ohms and this amp does 2000 at the 2 ohms... Anyone have experience or anything i should know about this amp... i saw a reveiw of a different amp from a…

Ok here is a serious question and I would love everyone who veiws opinion. There are three sets of 6.5'' components, you can only choose 1. Alpine SPX-17PRO (Type X) Kicker 04SS65.2 Kicker 10QS65.2 Here is my issue, yeah i actually ordered all three, its a long story but end result is i own all 3 sets. just need to know wich i should use. I actually have a set of the older Type -X in the truck now, and they are amazing. But I have heard alot of good about all three. Here is what I am looking for. I want Loud Crisp mids and highs...i mean LOUD, but with out distortion. Just let me know!

Hi, i listen to alot of metal and pop, stuff like this http://www.myspace.com/attackattack any ways i would like a sub woofer and amp set up and my budget is 200. Any ideas.

I was wondering how much of an audible difference more port area would make. For instance my 12 is in a 2 cu. ft box with 2X13 port area which is 26 sq. inches of port. Would a 3x13 port make it that much louder or is more port area just desirable for chasing tenths on the tl. More port means a bigger box but is it worth it? I know higher tuning will definitely make it louder but i don't compete so i would never tune above 35 hz. Or perhaps i need a bigger sub . I'm more of a basshead than i thought.

This is for a buddy at work. He has a 02 extended cab and doesn't want to remove his back seats so it needs to go under them. Has a prefab now he hates. Don't blame him. I'm having trouble finding any build logs on this phone like his. What have others done? No doubt he needs to build one just want to do some homework before sending him off. Thanks

FYI - http://forum.soundillusions.net/showthread.php?t=49179 I'm in for one for the TC Uber... Just thought a couple of you might take interest. -Nick

It will house 2 RF P212d4's. Not the new black models the older ones with the removable magnet cover. I would be able to design one but I do not have the manual and rockford's website does not either. It is going in a Scion TC so I am going to build it to specs which is 1.75 cubes per sub. Tuning anywhere from 35-40hz. I will be powering them with a Diamond D3 400.1. Height cannot be more than 12", W cannot be more than 40", and D cannot be more than 16". Someone please design me a good ported box for these woofers to these specs. Thanks.

im looking for some good tunez. for an 18'' fi bl..any tunez but mostly RAP...THAT HAS SOME GOOD LOWS..thanks steve

Told me sundown amps put out dirty power I just laughed and left

Dont think it worked, so go to http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/MV...=Portlength.jpg. The red line is the right way of calculating port length, right? When i calculate it, i get 18.5" total port length, but when the RE Enclosure calculator does it, it gets 19.625. It can't get the double baffle, so shouldn't the RE calculator come up with 17.75" of port length? I just want to make sure that i'm right or that i'm wrong, 'cause i dont see how it could be that far off.

this is the first time ive seen or heard of this......but my d-block is melting........i recently put in some rl-i 8s, turned the gain up a little bit, didnt change anything else. the amp itself is not getting any hotter, but the end of the fuse and the base under the connection to the 8awg is bubbling. what is causing this and what can i do about it? the amp is a diamond d3400.2 subs: rli 8" d4 running 4awg to the fused d-block *konfused d-block* and 8awg after it my DMM is currently MIA otherwise i would test my current draw on the amp

I am going to be making my rear seat fold down on my silverado. I got the idea off this link Has anyone done this yet?? How are you finishing off the back wall??
