subwoofer

Hi everyone, A couple months ago I bought a 200W JBL BassPro Nano under seat subwoofer for my car. The sound seems good, but I think I tested the volume a bit too much in the beginning, which caused me to have to see a doctor with tinnitus-like symptoms. Now I am trying to play the subwoofer...

I hate asking for help in forums, Kuz I always feel like I'm embarrassing myself, but I'm perplexed as to why my system is sounding so bad. I installed my kicker speakers and amp with no issue, and they sound great. But after finishing the box for my kicker L7 sub and installing it I was very...

Hello I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado ltz crew cab, and was looking to add a subwoofer and amp or a powered sub. The problem Is I don’t know anything about matching watts or anything! I replaced the front door speakers with JL audio C1-650 2 way component speakers and put the tweeters in the dash...

So According to Skar I need 3.75 c/ft. each sub and that's 7.5 c/ft. for both. The sub displacement is .875 each so 1.75 for both. So 9.25 c/ft. box, am I correct? I am also looking for 32 / 33hz. I have a box design of : 38w x 26d x 16h = 9.15 c/ft. Now I need a port. Can someone help me...

Hi Everyone! I came here to see if anyone that's more knowledgeable than me could help with this issue. I am currently running 2 Alpine Type R's on a Polk Audio D1000.1 amp. I had this installed at a car stereo shop and had them tune the amp, however I have blown 2 sets of them already so 4...

I have no idea how I am supposed to put my wires in here (third pic) with that metal thing that seems to be in the way. Is there a certain connector or adapter I need? If so please help and tell me what I need to get? This is the only help I need. Thank you.

Hey Everyone, Robbo here, from Australia. I have been facing a hiss sound with my Nissan Patrol for months. I have taken it to multiple car audio installers and their complete failures owe me nearly $1,500AUD in labour fee’s. To test the theory of it being a faulty head-unit, I took it out of...

Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge nor the tools to build my own box so I splashed out on the overpriced JL Audio HO112-W6V3 about 6 months ago, and it's been by far the best quality prefab subwoofer I've managed to get my car to output with its stock alternator (~90amps). Although the...

So my two kenwood 4ohm kfc-xw120 12s just gave up the ghost and I am trying to decide whether to use two KICKER - CompR 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 2-Ohm Subwoofer in my old bassworx ported box or spend a little more and get a KICKER - Solo-Baric L7S 12" 2-Ohm ported Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure. I’m...

Hey everyone, So I just recently switched my sub and amp to a car I just bought. It's a 05 Acura TL, which has a stereo that's difficult to remove and retain all channels/speakers. I tapped the stock subwoofer remote wire, ran that and my power to the back, tapped the stock sub's signal and ran...

Ok I sold my old sub (skar sdr) to a guy I know, and now I have an empty 12 inch 2.00 cubic foot box and a 800 watt skar amp. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good sub for sq? I listen to hip hop, but also a lot of rock and instrumental. Money isnt really a problem as long as its under...

Hi! I'm fairly new to this type of work, I'm not familiar with every term and how I should describe everything, so sorry for that beforehand. I got help from my friends installing a 400W Subwoofer in my car (1998 BWM E46 328Ci). We hooked up the sub as it was intended to, using a 1200W amp my...

Ok so Im getting audio single to my amp from my rear speakers to a loc but Im wondering what should my input sensitivity be set at? 100mv-2 or 2-8 from what I hear you can just see what one works best when it's all set up.

So everyone loves those stupid windy builds that take your breath away. I’m not really aiming for that , I just want it as windy as I can with my options. So I’m rebuilding my blowthru so I have pretty much unlimited room. What will be more windy , 2 Skar EVL 18s @ 1250 rms , or 4 Skar SDR 15s @...

Hey! 😁 This is my first ever project in car audio! So, first of all which one would be more rational: one big sub or two small subs? (I'm looking for a proper subwoofer experience!) Currently I'm thinking of getting one big subwoofer, at the moment I have chosen the Hertz SPL Show SS15D2. ( Link...

I have dual skar sdr 12's being run off a Skar RP-350.1D. This problem has been going on for a while. The problem originally started on the same amp but with my Skar IX 12's. They had been working fine for a month or two since i had the whole system installed but all of a sudden the subs started...

Hello I’ve had my audio setup for a while now with no issues until last week. Went to leave my house and car won’t start because the battery is dead. Figured I had a bad battery because it was pretty old so I got a new one. Next day battery was dead again. So I unhooked my 2 amps and jumped my...

Like 10 years ago I bought 2 Polk DB1040DVC subs. They are 50-270w rms. They've been sitting new in box since I never got around to buying an amp or whatever. I ponied up a couple dollars and at crutchfields recommendation, grabbed a pioneer GM-DX874 4/3/2 ch amp. I connected front door...

Hello, As of now I have what most would consider a 'mom car' and along with that comes plenty of space for sub enclosures. Later this year I will be transitioning to a 2018 Ford F150 King Ranch but I don't have a sub enclosure for it. I have looked around on most of the internet and haven't...

Hi there, I just wanted to get some recommendations for a better sound quality 4 channel amp. I am on a budget, so $150-200 max for the amp. I'm upgrading from an alpine kttp445u running my front speakers on 2 channels at ~90watts rms and about 82db s/n ration. I'm adding an Audison Bit One...

Howdy all, I'm selling my beloved SoundSplinter RL-I8's in a Custom Ported Enclosure tuned to around 40hz (can't remember exact). I have been using these Subs for well over 10 years. I'm finally selling my car thus getting rid of these bad boys. I'm almost posting to the local Facebook...

Hi my alpine rw12-d4 started making this noise shortly after I got it last June. If anyone has any idea what this noise is that would be great before I take it back under warranty.

Hey, I just installed a pre-amplified sub to the OEM sound system. The huge problem is that I can't find a good source for my remote wire. I tried taping into the rear speaker wire (this has worked on my 09 Yaris and 08 CSX-S) but it doesn't seem to work here. I then ran the remote cable to the...

So I've had this problem for a couple months now, I've got 2x12 inch MTX Terminator subs (I know they're not the greatest) and every few weeks, usually when a song has some hard low frequency bass, the fuse that is connected to the power wire under my hood will blow, causing the subs to stop...

I'm looking to upgrade the subs i have now (hds2.1 12''s) and I have been eyeing the XFL's for a while now now the dilemma is I cant decide whether to get a pair of the dual 4 ohms and wire them to 1 ohm final or get the dual 2's and try for .5 ohms. I know the BC3500 is .5 stable but is it...

Greetings to all! I got a brand new Sub from Amazon, it is all connected and energized but still no sound coming out. I also connected to my living room home-theater to test and no sound at all. From the Head unit, I install a 2 Farad Capacitor to a Power Ground Distribution Block (to a 500W...

So to start things off I have a 2008 Infiniti G35X with the stock head unit with an Alpine MRX-M100 mono amp hooked up using pre-amp the signal going to stock Bose amp, a Singer 200 amp alternator, AGM battery, DC Audio Level 2 wired at 2 ohms and 0 gauge Knukoncepts OFC power and ground. I...

Howdy everyone! I decided to invest in some decent sound in my 2016 Corolla. Right now, I have the stock head unit, some who knows what Kenwoods in the front and some god only knows Pioneers in the back. I have that 12" MTX Terminator sealed box package, and it's powered by a Pioneer -...

I want to upgrade my jbl Partybox 300, which is a battery powered boombox by adding an aditional subwoofer. Would it be possible to hook up a Sub and Amp directly to a car battery? I was thinking of purchasing second hand one, something like the Edge EDB10A-E2, it has a built in amp, which is...

I bought this sub brand new to install in my car but the box necessary would not fit inside my trunk. It’s been sitting inside my house on a heated floor since. Will ship at buyers expense. This is the first time I’ve pulled it out of the packaging. Price is firm. This thing was right under...

Ok so I have a JL w0v2-12 that I am using as a home audio sub and it got a puncture in the cone and it has slowly grown over the years and now it is making quite an annoying noise on low notes. This is an older model and I don’t have original purchase receipt so JL warranty is completely out of...
