Yea guys I think my reciever is finally taking a poopie. Its seems like it somebody is turning up and down the volume a lil bit even though its not being touched.. like it faints. How is this unit? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=252-125 Not sure how I am going to power the two MTX Thunder 3000s. Plate amp I guess.

Haha. I'd only use it where I don't have a source of power and want some music.

I would say they were bottomin' out on 1000W... there only rated for 250W each.

This system would be nice while riding a bike, if you can do so with it on. try a 400w 12" woofer and 200w of tweet (50ea) on a bike lol thats me. Pix of bike? Have you seen the Tang Band oval 6x9 or 8x12" subs on parts express? I've never used them but I think those would be a good use for a backpack stereo cause they would probably fit in better.

4 hours on 30minutes of charge. (6 amp charge rate) 7 hours on 1 hour of charge Thats better than my iPod when it works.. Do you walk around with this thing on and listen to it?

Yeah I've been thinkin of doing something like this, kinda like a portable stereo... but... I don't know how I'd power it.

yah I knew that, asked that on ROE. But theres a few on here that boggled my mind... so I had to ask... I don't think some of them have replied...

and after looking at the PG RSd's x-over I think I figured most of it out... rcas from deck>amp, amp>crossover, crossover>woofer/tweeter.

nevermind blitz. So what you guys are saying is I should get a passive component setup?

I can't remeber what active means.. and I think I can't do it with my deck... You can't. Active means filtering is done prior to amplifying the signal. Each speaker needs its own amplification channel & processing channel capable of proper filtering. So what do you reccomend? I know you said 1 mid 1 tweeter per side.. I'm sorry...I'm tired and I'm dumbner than a plan right now.

Yah... I'll search what active means... edit... err... what you talkin about?

I can't remeber what active means.. and I think I can't do it with my deck...

yeah.. I just dont want the rest of the sound to be overpowered by the bass of two SPL-12s...

Well.. if I don't use the MLi-s I'll be using a component set, that comes with x-over, tweeters, midbass whatever.. something like the PG RSds or CDT CL line...

I've never installed anything other than coaxials in the rear deck of a car... However with my new setup, I'm thinkin of going with 4 Mach 5 MLi-65s. theres going to be tweeters and x-overs aswell. I'm going to be putting one in each factory location. the other two will either go in the pillars, in the dash, or somewhere behind me ( reg cab truck, isn't a rear "stage" useless?) I'm wondering how to wire it up. just been looking at amps online and I'm wondering how it all connects. I have a Pioneer DEH-4900IB for a headunit, and won't be running active.... just a two way component set.

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=264-838 They also come in a 6x9 version. I'm thinkin 2 or 4 in a ported box. Tuned low... might do it for home setup, or see if I could have a smaller box designed for my buddys jeep and use those, so he could put his back seat in and drag around his friends.

/thread. I've ordered my subs.

I've seen a few people with usernames I couldn't figure out, so what does your username mean/stand for/etc Mine is just something I thought of ... and I use it on every forum I'm on.

I know I'm bumping a oldish thread but you can buy a tachometer with an inductive pickup for distributorless vehicles.

Damn man after watchin that video.. haha.. your van is awesome. Congrats on the win... nice amp rack too.

I don't know where I can learn to do it on paper... theres no like "audio school" around...

I definitely don't know how to do that.

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do for a battery. I still might buy the Orion 2500D and run it at 1/2 ohm. Im going to be doing a 6.2 diesel swap in the future and I can use a 200 amp generator, and have it charge a couple rear batteries and the Orion will run off that.
