    Blew the power supply in my amp. Had it fixed and just installed the amp back in. On zero volume there is a loud alien like sound as soon as i turn on the headunit. Could this be a bad ground? My right mid fell from its baffle and the frame was resting on the metal door. Did this ground blow something else? Thanks for any input. Steve

    I just got a 09 crew cab 1500 chevy silverado. I currently have quite a bit of equipment from my old builds, but none will really fit in the truck. It's all 6.5" speakers in the doors and tweets up front in the a-pillar. I'll probably be selling some of my stuff to pick up speakers that will fit. I have had nothing but good come from focal, so I was thinking of staying with them. I was thinking of going either with the Access or Polyglass lines. The K2's get a bit expensive and Utopia is out of the question. Also, what is your advice on running them from the HU (Alpine IVA-W200). I'm leaning towards it probably won't be worthwhile and likely get an amp... I have a…

    I currently have a 12" FI BL in my car with a US Amps MD1D. I am looking at maybe putting another one in and I have a few questions. How big should the box be? FI recomends 2.5 cu. for one so when you have 2 do you double that? I have a dual 2 ohm so I would get another dual 2. I have a Hifonics 1206D sittin around so should I use that or buy a amp that is .5ohm stable? Like a Lazar Opti2000D. Or a big amp that can give around 2000 watts at 2 ohm. Would I need a bigger alt. current one is 120amps and I have a Kinetic 1400 batt. in the front and am going to look into getting a smaller batt. for the trunk.

    I'm in some serious need of more deadener. I have decided, for the most part, on RAAMmat BXT. I'm just not sure if I should pair it with the ensolite or not. I'm sure it will help, but would it be worth the extra money (limited budget for now)? My main concern is the roof by the way. Thanks in advance for all suggestions and advice.

    I have a ported box built for a Rockford T2 12. It has a 2.25 net volume and is tuned at 40Hz (Termpro)...Actual in car is said to be 37Hz. I just ordered a new Fi Q 12 dual 1ohm and was wondering if it will work in my current box or do I need to change the tuning of the box?? How do you know how much to add or remove from the length of the port to get the Hz I'm looking for? I have attached a pic of the box that I have. Any help on this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

    So i got excited today and built a 1.25 cube box ported to 32 hz today and put my new 10 inch icon in it. I ran the wires and had everything set up. I also hooked up my amp today and set everything up with that. I hooked the sub and amp up together and it barley worked. I had to turn the gains on the amp all the way up and the bass boost all the way up for it to barley hit. I mean it wasn't even playing notes the sub was just moving a little. Anyone have any idea whats wrong? I know i have everything hooked up right.
