or he could get one of these SONY RC-100iP USB TO MP3 MP4 AUX INPUT CABLE on eBay.ca (item 200435629987 end time 05-Mar-10 14:05:39 EST)

maybe to plug an ipod into or a usb drive or a usb HARD DRIVE (like my buddy did)

I need some info any and all comments are welcome! here is my setup I will be running: 2-saz2000 2-nsb90's 2-15inch ns 1-h/o alt and the big 3 system potential 4000-4500rms at 2ohm potential current 350-400A now my question is DO I NEED 2 runs of + and - from front to back of my car???? currently I have 1 run of each(+ and -) from front to back of my car but getting another run of each will be nearly impossible! the only way I could do this is to either go under the car (or on top and call it a pin stripe) or I could run it on the driver side but then it will be mixed with my RCA wires. now my question is should I switch my 1 run of negative(-) to a run of positive(+) and be done with while doubling up the ground wires in the front and rear of the car? Also for grounding I want to ground to my cars frame so it would be a really good ground and I would end up drilling though the cars sheet metal and using grommets and sealant. this is going to be my first near 5krms setup and i want to make sure I do it right and double check before I do anything stupid! like I said any and all comments welcome and if you have nothing to say please post in the topic poll! thanks for your time and aid Kenneth

umm that kind a info is what i am talking about lol!! for that price range i would say eclipse or alpine h/u i have scratched pioneer h/u off of my list ever since my 8800 blew its pico fuse (who fuses a ground wire lol) other then that i sya stick with the eclipse h/u!!

yes sir! with any and ALL new subs you get that small for ... say 2-4wks ish! it is my favorite smell so far lol!!

lower is always better! and safer keep in mind your gain is set so high due to the low preout voltage forexample my gain is set about half the way up and i have a saz2000 and i have all 2krms pushing 1-15inch ns my h/u is a jvc avx88! (5v preouts) so it is a trade off high preout voltage= lower gain settings (less stress) or lower preout voltage= high gain settings overal setting to the lower voltage is what ... 20rms difference? overal the stress isn't to be worried about now if you had the gain set full out the signal COULD (most likey) be clipped send a garbage signal to your subs

here is the h/u i have http://signature.crutchfield.com/S-7lXr8KIKbYA/s_105KDAVX77/JVC-KD-AVX77.html I love it! it also plays DVD/s and DVD MP3 cds! so you can get about 8.2gigs of music onto 1 dvd disk (duel layer) also it has a usb out and SUPER AWESEOME IPOD controls!! lol since you didn't state a budget or single/double din limits! that is what i recommend! it also can play movies lol!

i like it!! comon pre-order!

wow when you said SALE you meant it!!

it looks like a multi purpose device lol!! just think if something happnes bad then you can always move into the port and live there for a bit! and when it is gets hot out side just pound the sub and the air will cool you down some lol!!

there is the man of the hour~!~ with a good excuse none the less! study first then do the hobby thing! LoL

i like! lol! do you have an idea on the actual weight?

NVM i am slow please refer to the next comment!

either find someone with a meter OR try one these idea's! buy a el-cheapo DB meter from radio shake (does up to like 120dbish) 1. Measure the sound level with your dB meter set for its maximum range. 2. Tape a ball of cotton over the mircophone on the meter. 3. Make the measurement again, and observe the difference in dB between the measurements. 4. Keep adding more cotton until you get a reasonable difference, such as 30 dB. 5. Your 120 dB meter now measures up to 150dB. When the meter reads 120 dB with the cotton over the microphone, it is actually in a 150dB environment. p/s that isn't a good idea but it gives you a ball park figure (i also stole that idea from a buddy) OR use this iwth a DMM (that measures mV) 186 db SPL SOUND LEVEL METER PRESSURE(50 to 186+db) - eBay (item 190376929597 end time Mar-10-10 20:32:12 PST) OR buy this http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=12888&pid=sound&cid=sound%20extras&pg=3&showall=&brandstr=&str= lol enjoy!

wow what i would od a for a trunk like that lol!

for starters set you bass on the h/u to 75%-100% (so if it goes to +10 set it to +7) then unplug the sub (both + and - ) from the amp, put the 2 terminals from the dmm into the terminals and then play the 50hz tone at 3/4 the full volume then turn up to the number you are looking for. alternatively if you still only get a max of say 12v set the gain according to your h/u preout voltage! also make sure EQ setting are on 0 aka bass boost and put the eq on flat. and sub controls are the ones you turn up!

nice thanks guys!

I THINK I GOT AROUND 3.54CU/FT YOU THINK THAT A BIGGER BOX WILL DO BETTER JOB OR MORE DB'S 1) Stop yelling or die. 2) A larger enclosure increases efficiency, making more pressure with less power input. You also take the risk of mechanical failure. question, if larger = less power require does MORE power = less cubics? sorry if that is a dumb question if it is i WILL DIE lol

ya i wouldn't be using caps they cost almost as much as a battery does and with a battery you cna blow 100's of caps away! here is an interesting read about caps vs batts Battery or Cap - SSA Car Audio Forum

yet again sundown never fails to amaze me lol! another crazy amout of subs in 1 vehicle lol!! you know what i want to see!! someone with one of those huge motor homes put as a ton of subs in them lol!@@! that woudl be intense!

big 3?

sorry to thread jack but i got a quick question. lets say i have a ported box in my car already and i wnat to find my car's Resonant Frequency(RF) so would i simple cover up the port then do a sweep on the TL and see what my car peaks at? currently my box is tuned to 34hz and and i have been told my cars RF is around 42-45hz~ . I know i need to test this out to find my cars actual RF so when i build my next box i have an idea of what to tune to. extra info on the next setup: 2-15inch NS v1 2-saz2000(potentially 2500) 2-nsb 90's 1-h/o big 3 95 grand-am net cubics = 6.1~ tuned to 39-40hz (depending on my RF>?) sound deadener false floor (if i have the space) down firing subs all equipment is purchased and i am currently waiting on time off and nicer weather to do this build! lol (i am curretnly full time college)!

You should be tuning to 56 Hz then. i always though you tune LOWER then your cars RE (resonant frequency) and tune lower by about 4-6hz~~ good to knwo thanks for the heads up!

I love it!!! looks clean and those rims are nice!
