  1. UMMMmmm.....yeah..that way he could just use that to view all the other links to the products, specs, ect... and the final price.............Im lost why is this an issue????
  2. I know this stuff isn't sundown, FI or SSA like most ppl on here..... I used to have that amp and it birthed @589wrms @2ohms it real power and thats hard to find at this price, that sub would be perfect for it.... FREE shipping on the amp and sub too and even a lil left for a box and maybe some speakers?? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cart.php?ac...&item=14602
  3. I have a pioneer 800 PRS and I let the HU do everything I only set subsonic for the sub otherwise the deck dose it all. I try to keep it simple and process the sound once at the deck and thats it, not go and change it again at the amp
  4. Ok I am trying to set my car up as SQ so I am lookin into another Nine.1 and another 2 ch so I can go 3-way active....only one lil problem my car has 100% stock Electrical. I found a few places to get an alt for about $350 for a 200 amp unit, here is the kicker tho.... I was looking at the do it yourself manuals at autozone (Haynes I think) and its telling me I have to pull both axles and pull the K member, then drop the motor 6 inches or so to get it out!!! F*$& that I am a welder and I have access to a water jet. So will adding another alt not of the same make or model cause me any problems. I was just going to get a one wire unit and a longer belt, make some mounting brackets. Anybody else ever seen or do something like this
  5. In order to give you a better answer. What do you want your daily driver to be after you are all said and done?? With out any of this info I can tell you that if you are after a loud car your going to want as much cone area you can get ur lil hands on and all the other goodies to back up 2 3000ds
  6. OK I took your advice (M5) and read this site front to backhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_crossover I am going to change the set up in the car too 2-way active set up for now to feel things out..... I have never been one to do things half ass so I really want to go 3-way active eventually, but I how is that?? if I have 6 speakers all on their own CH the what RCA outputs do I use from the deck bc the only 4 will already be used... where do I get the other inputs for the other two CH
  7. Well I am prepared to go pretty far seeing as I already have some equipment all Im going to need is about 6 new speakers and I have already hacked hols in my doors, I did this my self bc I thought it would help to separate the front and rear waves from each other and it did somewhat but still dint make my car sound like The owners car though. Hope this link works for ya........ http://radioactivecc.ning.com/photo/dscf44...?context=latest
  8. Ok well I sat in the owner of the local shops car and I was hooked, he had 8's in each door 4'' speakers and tweets on the A pillar and it sounded SWEET. If I closed my eyes you could hear every instrument and its location on the stage it was the next best thing to being their live.. after I got back in my car to leave I was totally not in love with my sound anymore. SO now I come to you guys for advice and insight on how to achieve Beethoven's symphony in my car. With a CH for each speaker would I ditch my crossovers and use the amps to tune each speaker to that frequency range
  9. OK I messed with the network mode and I turned it back bc it moved all the mid rage to the front and the highs to the back. Which was fine but all I could hear was highs no voice at all the mid range was non existent, plus I had tweeters up front that were doing nothing.... Pardon my ignorance but what do you mean my passives??? Speakers I assume??? If its not too much to ask what would be the ideal set up be for speaker placement in my car (placement, size, number of them) I had a local shop tell me I would benefit from losing my back speaker and moving all 4 ch to the front of the car. any truth to this??
  10. Well as I get older my years of high school are dwindling away and I am not so much impressed by that fact that someone can shake there car and flex the roof. I am slowly making the transition to the SQ world. So when I was reading online about processors, they said they can make your system sound more full and rich with greater depth and width, so naturally i was interested. Is their anything that I could do with the equipment I have to obtain more depth width etc. Simple tips for a beginner like myself...... I don't know much about the world of SQ
  11. I have a Pioneer Premier DEH-P800PRS High Fidelity head unit. I was thinking about getting a processor. Since I have never owned any type of sound processor. my question is. Am I going to put this thing in line with my amps and make 19000db on the mic or will that 300$ investment barely be noticed?? My deck already has t/a, 16 band eq, 3 way active set up, I can adjust each individual speaker for gain and eq, so what will a processor do for me. is it really worth the money?
  12. Ok the big 3 will not "Push" power but you amp will "draw or pull" power from you batt.... All you are doing in lowering the resistance or making it easier for you amp to obtain that power from the source. Your amp will put out 1kw only as long as it has the resources to do so... If you are looking to make 1kw for extended amounts of time then you will need an alt that can provide 105% of the total current draw of your amp and vehicle needs. Then you will be able to produce your peak power anytime on demand. You MAY notice some audible difference with short bumps over stock but for test tones you're going to need an alt and batts (just the short of it we could go on for hours on quark theory's and molecular electron transfer..... but yeah
  13. I have a Rockford fostgate T1 15 it only needs 2.5 cubes. Im running the 600 wrms so no alts or mutable batts in that back of my gf 2000 grand am and she can roll up on those stupid best buy/ circuit city high school tarts and out bump them for her its good and it dosnt take up her whole trunk idk just my .02
  14. Yeah I was thinking about getting rid of this one and getting a fully loaded BTL and pushing the full 2800 to it and just make a stupid loud single 15 set up. maybe wall the thing behind my fold down seats??? What do you guys think I could make off this set up on the mic if I put it in about 4 cubes tuned to 35 htz??
  15. Hmmmm this is quite a bummer...I will email FI they might have some old style motors lying round.......one can only hope, thx a lot guys...fast reply's and good info
  16. WOW that was fast....can I have my old one re-coned or are the motors totally diff??? man this sub isn't even 2 months old, I dint really want to buy two more already......
  17. OK I have one of the last old style 08' FI BL's......yes it shakes my car get lots of window flex yada yada I WANT MORE! SO I was thinking about getting another Nine.1 and strapping them together giving me bout 2800 wrms @ 2 ohms and getting another BL 15, but my question is, Do ya think I will be OK with mixing a new fully loaded BL with the old Fully loaded BL...are they that much different from each other?? any input is appreciated
  18. I was jw but will this be going in your dodge ram??
  19. if ur not going more than 20 feet and ur nominal power is only 1000 watts than you should be fine. If you are Really on a buget I would try and run the set up on all stock and see were you end up. if you get a voltage loss then go with the 4....in my experience most trucks have some pretty stout grounding in them stock and even some German cars
  20. Damn... fudgeing Maximus Prime couldn't take that chit down Was that MIG or Arc looks too clean to be arc but i do think I see some 1/8 7018 layin on the bench their
  21. I used to have the 9887 with the imprint mic.... the T/A on it was sub par I threw that out and got a Pioneer DEH-P800PRS it still comes with 24 bit burr brown DCA's, 16 band EQ. 5 volt pre outs are clean and clear, and you can turn off the internal amp if you are running a 4 ch. PLUS it comes with a mic and has its own built in T/A at no extra cost like the 9887... it also has a 3way network setup so you can adjust each of the 3 amp pre outs independent from each other. You can tune this thing till ur blue in the face
  22. yes I am aware that the BTL will due more with less due to the extra slug on it giving the motor a higher gause rating, BUT he has already said he is sorta new to audio and I am just tryin to save him money by having him not buy a lambo to take dear ole grams 100 yards to get the mail...The BTL is going to be more than he is probably ready for at this point.
  23. I have a set of pro60 in my car right now and I love them. They are bright and clear highs are crisp, the mid bass leaves a bit to be desired but I just have them thrown in the stock location, no custom pods or serious imaging done here. They realy shine when you start to put on the power, that is when they come alive. im sure some ppl on here have sets that will blow these away but for the price i think they are a good driver
  24. hmmm???? I duno, some decks allow you to have different settings for tuner, i pod, CD....maybe the seating position is set to the far back for those input modes?? or other settings are off for those modes? proly not but just a suggestion
  25. Here let me re-word this...... since some ppl just get on these sites to try and prove their level of knowledge to them selves by means disagreeing with everyone...............to use those woofers to their full potential you will need that kind of power otherwise dont waist your money on a woffer that you will only use to half its potential whitch brings me back to my suggestion of maybe one BTL or maybe 2 Qs.
