  1. the box is sealed ... thats why i do not understand why certain songs are significantly louder than others ... is it possible that my signal is more sensitive now to frequencies because i have been using an ipod and obviously compressed files u loose a lot of bass ... i had a hifonics amp before this so maybe the processor couldnt really depict which to get as loud on if that makes any sense ... im going to try some cds and see what happens
  2. alright thanks ... so get 2 of the 200 amp relays that company sells ... i must admit it is a pretty sweet comp ... i want more leds for my car .... if i were to put in 16 volt batteries would they charge up to 16 volt using a 14.4 volt alternator?
  3. its never a bad idea but u really dont need either in ur case
  4. sub cannot exceed 8" mounting depth
  5. crutchfield is usually good about that type of stuff
  6. i was just wondering what the best 12" subs i could buy for no more than $350 each would be that can take 1kw rms daily? i am looking for a hybrid of sq and spl ... i listen to hip hop and techno ... i love my lows but i also like that punchy techno bass ... my icons seem to be very picky with music choice ... some songs get real loud while others sound less loud than my 4 old 12s running off of 1.3kw rms total ... the subs will be in a 5.7 cubic ft enclosure
  7. it would help knowing what brand and model oscope ... most do not have an auto adjust feature and u need to manually change the settings to see the wave ... mine is autoset =)
  8. we played a wide range of music and it didnt really change ... also did a 50 hz test tone (only one i had at the moment) didnt really get much more .... the sealed was actually larger (1.6 cu ft) and the ported is 1.4 cu ft. would this make a significant difference?
  9. well u will need the probes for that before you can do anything ... most likely a 1x probe is not going to suffice ... u will need to get a set of 10x probes .... after getting these adjust channel 1 setting to either ac or dc it does not matter ... depending on how much voltage you will need to adjust the channel 1 knob at the top accordingly ... just play with it until you can see the sine wave
  10. i sold my friend my old pioneer ts-w3002d4 subs and a hifonics bxi2006d amp ... i had 4 of these subs wired for 2 ohm in my car (didnt feel like waiting a month for the d2 ohms) and i had them facing up in a sealed box and the excursion was great on them even with roughly 1300 watts at 2 ohm ... we built a ported box tuned to 28hz facing the trunk and now the subs barely move at 1 ohm with 2000 watts powering them ... why is this? i checked the ohm load and it is indeed 1 ohm
  11. cheap tweeters being key words ... not a $200+ component set
  12. i dont run my system with the car off so i shouldnt need one a solenoid correct?
  13. alright i think i get it ... i will make a revised copy of ur print to see if what i see is what you intended on ... where can i buy two of those 200 amp solenoids?
  14. just call polk and get replacement tweeters ... they shouldnt be more that 50 a set for replacement ... also see if the warranty is still valid
  15. i couldnt get the link you sent me for the relay ... wouldnt i need something more than a 500 as my amps have a potential draw of 650 amps?
  16. y would u want 10s if u mostly listen to rap? ur going to struggle to pick up the lows with 10s esp tuned to 36 hZ
  17. so are you saying something like this? the orange circle being the solenoid? what is the difference between a solenoid and isolator i thought a solenoid was a form of an isolator?
  18. alright well that makes sense ... *does the way i have the second schematic layed out look ok? or do i need a jumper in between both rear batteries for the amps to use the power of both batteries? note: i will not be using an isolator
  19. alright well that makes sense ... is the way i have the second schematic layed out fine?
  20. u should contact crutchfield ... u will be able to get it warrantied if it is within the time frame ... just say u have never had a problem with it before and you have the gains set correctly with no clipping and the correct amount of wattage going to the subs (say 750 watts just in case)
  21. walmart tweeters would probably sound worse than hearing your parents having sex
  22. why would you ever buy at walmart or ebay? what do u consider cheap
