Black market kidney prices are up too!

Nope, it's me too. I tried to talk Mark and Aaron in to getting the tapatalk plugin. Don't worry, I'd teach you to use it !

I personally recommend using Swappa. It is a site devoted to buying and selling smartphones for smartphone enthusiast. You honestly will only find better prices on craigslist if you're lucky.

Damn Senchez, you gonna put the worst video i ever took with the light off on the note 2 lol. Here's one in regular light circumstances for reference.

Ok, in theory if you max the adjustments on the LC6i thingy then you shouldn't turn the gain on the audioque at all. This is theory though! . Now here's where it gets fun. Since the line out you are using is speaker wires it is a dynamic signal that will naturally distort at higher volume so you will naturally turn the head unit up to around natural listening volume ( in this case around 3/4) then turn the LC6i thing around 1/2 to 3/4 as well for the voltage out. Then you will adjust the amp accordingly at that point. Max anything will more susceptible to clipping and distortion over somewhere in between or around halfway as you won't be stressing any one piece of equipment to its maximum capabilities. Remember that one thing you are not to touch on the amp is bass boost. You may be comfortable with setting subsonic around 30hz and LPF wherever sounds best to you then slowly work on the gain at that point. Make sure to listen to many different songs to get the effect you are looking for because more often than not you'll find yourself setting it to a low bass song (such as soul survivor.. akon) then listen to a higher bass song (still fly) and can't hear a damn thing. It'll take some adjusting, but you'll get it better than any smd device ever will. Also, It's not improbable to drop to battery voltage with that load either. As long as you're not dropping below battery voltage (12.3-12.8) then you're fine.

In the quick installation instructions i just linked it says to gain match. Usually the way to do such is to hook things up and try to set as close visibly as possible and then by ear for minor adjustments. 1. Physically mount the LC6i in a location that keeps it away from soda spills, food crumbs, and curious fingers. You will want to select a location that allows you access to the level controls. In many cases you can find factory speaker leads in the rear of the vehicle that are easy to access.2. The LC6i needs to be installed in the signal path between your OEM source unit or factory-installed amplifier(s) and an aftermarket external amplifier and/or processor(s). Locate the speaker wires that are coming from your factory source unit and/or amplifier and connect them to the speaker-level inputs on your LC6i.3. Connect the Output RCA connectors to cables that run to your aftermarket external signal processors and/or amplifiers. If this is not obvious to you, quickly pack up your LC6i and run to your nearest authorized AudioControl dealer to have them perform the installation. You will thank us later. ( This is actually in the manual lol)4. Connect +12 power, ground, and remote turn-on (if applicable).5. Level match your LC6i to your source and amplifiers.Note: You will want to turn the gains DOWN on your aftermarket amplifiers to maximize your systems performance and minimize any HISS.I recommend the by the ear method instead of disconnecting the RCA's but whateva Level MatchingIf you have ever listened to a friend’s “killer” car audio system and heard lots of hiss, clicks or pops, then you may have experienced an improperly level-matched system. When a performance autosound system is properly level matched, you should get the maximum output from your source unit and amplifiers without any clipping or that annoying hiss! The following steps will help you through the process, although at the end of the day, your ears will be your guides!1. Set your source unit’s fader and balance controls to their center positions. If your source unit has subwoofer output (and you are using it), set the output level at minimum.2. Disconnect the RCA cables between your LC6i and the amplifier(s). Otherwise get some earplugs.3. Start playing some dynamic music and set the volume on your source unit to about 3/4 of maximum. You should not be hearing anything at this point as the amplifiers are unplugged. If you are hearing music, go back to step #2; if you are hearing voices go see a doctor!4. Adjust the output level controls until the “Maximized” light starts to flicker. If the Maximized LED does not come on but you are hearing music, fear not. The signal level from your source unit is probably not sufficient enough to trigger the LED. Do not worry, proceed on.5. Set the input gains on the amplifier(s) at minimum! This is known as turning down your gains.6. Double check that you performed Step #5!7. Decrease the volume control on your source unit and re-connect the RCA’s between the LC6i and the external amplifier(s).8. Now increase the volume on your source unit to your normal listening level. For some of you, this may be louder than others!9. At this point you may find yourself going back and adjusting the Output Level controls on your LC6i to balance the front, rear, and subwoofer sections of your system to accommodate speaker placement and efficiency. Speakers on the rear deck of your car will probably sound louder that the ones in your doors!

Actually yes it would as it processes the sound better. In this case from the tech specs the LC6i is capable up to 9.5v out or somewhere around there. You would go up to audible distortion on the LC6i and back down a bit and then set the gain on the amp itself by ear. Higher pre-out voltage from the LC6i should take a bit of strain off of the amp if the tech sheet im reading is indeed correct. http://www.sound-better.net/Support/Manuals/Autosound/LC6i_OM.pdf I should add to be careful as the AQ/soundqubed has a max voltage of 9v to begin with so try not to max the LC6i.

Just curious what type of head unit you are using since you mentioned having the amp at around 75%. Just cause you feel the sub can take more doesn't mean the amp is willing to dish it without heavy clipping which could be causing those voltage spikes.

Can you measure those horns so I can check a few things on my end if you don't mind? Length, depth back to driver and height . Please and thanks!

Lol, this made my morning. Not laughing at you Lantz, just the situation.

Cool, I will look through build logs and ask some time. I'd hate to put these in the elantra cause they fit so well..

I will attempt to find the one I seen awhile back. I want to say Lantz had some in his Yukon XL build in the SSA team section. Yah the size is stupid at 17" length, 10.25" depth, and 3.5" height. The only way im thinking on the passenger side is to remove the glove box and slide the body in place and try screwing in the horn through the glove box opening and then attempting to close the box and see what i need to cut out of the glove box. I never use my glove box as I have the console anyways. Besides at least the glovebox is an easy replacement. Heaterbox, not so much lol.

Holy destructosaraus Rex. I assume this isn't magnetized yet since it isn't throwing off the earths axis quite yet, and the fact thta the screw can actually be that close lol No. They don't have a magnetizer strong enough to fully saturate them so they are done here in the US. It's hard to tell due to the horrible pic. But the very top plate on that motor is ~7.5" OD and 1 inch thick. The wider part is the bottom top plate and is 11 inches OD. Hell yah, time to bass race 119.9

Because I pay good money for this section and I won't put up with Narcassistic and condisending bullshit here. If the post would have been helpful it would have stayed. But it wasn't, it was the same ole asinine comments that had no bearing on what the OP asked. I have already talked to Aaron about this as I have been getting complaints from friends and clients that I send to this forum. The only members are going to feel welcome is if they are helped. There is a big difference between helping people do the correct thing and being an asshole because people want to do something you find stupid. I've often noticed 2 types of comments on these forums from a question similar to this one. 1) There is no point in doing 3 tweets. Using 3 tweets would be just plain stupid and those 4 speakers will cause cancellation issues so that's stupid too. Then there is the "Im not sure if I want to run the 3 tweets or 1 supertweet with 2 8's etc etc" 2) Well no one can tell you what you want. We need to know your goals. If you want 3 tweets you're just stupid. Those such and such tweets would be garbage and you should just do more research. I've often felt that the help i came for was neglected at times myself.

Still got my horns sitting on the kitchen table ready to be installed. As a fellow suburban driver you will understand what I am going to have to go through with that damn heaterbox and full size horns. Senchez told me to look at someones build this morning. I forget the name. I need a refresher to see if anyone has seen full body waveguide horns go in a ck suburban, tahoe, yukon before. For further info they are USD horns. Identical to these and the driver will swivel 360 btw. Stole this guys pic lol

These are hush hush subs. So hush there will never be a release date. They will just appear one day sorta like a bassdrop in dubstep.

I believe Swift had a pretty nicely designed enclosure for a single 15 at one time.

Throw that bitch in the dryer with a bounty sheet for 15 minutes to shake out the wrinkles and I'd wear it!

FFS is there one that didn't pop off?

Gonna be hard to find anything better unless you check with the manufacturers facebook pages. I know Obsidian is always offloading their b-stock for under 150. Not sure who else might do the same.

Happy birthday guys! Sean you're gonna have to come down this weekend or something so I can buy you some drinks!

I enjoy a good old fashioned ribbing. Too bad it wasn't actually important enough to make the news so we could have gotten some sweet videos like the ones seen below
