    How can I increase volume on my speakers with a low wattage headunit

    So I installed one of those android style touch screen radios in my car (I can find the exact one if needed but my question is pretty general) along with a sub system and now my bass is much louder than my mid audio because I didn’t realize the wattage output is so low in the new radio and lacks...

    HU volume level

    This may sound like a dumb question but, how high is too high? I personally like my volume cranked when listening to certain songs. I was tinkering around with my volume on the HU and maxed it out and it was clean and hard. Zero distortion, just slammed hard. But I got to wondering, is this...

    SSA Zcon 12”s

    I have two SSA Zcon 12. Question: Was wondering what volume I should use for a single Zcon 12”? Currently I’m using my DD712 enclosure: 2.72 cubes. 33HZ. 6” Round port. Was thinking 4 cubes. I’m going MDF on my next ports so it can handle more pressure! I try to go screwless on everything...

    Problem

    My subwoofers pop when I reach a certain volume. No voltage drop not clipping. Also if I push one sub the other sub moves divided enclosure no leaks. Only does it when subs are hooked to amp.

    Volume Knob

    I need a volume knob. I intend to install a new head unit with navigation, but the thing that I don't like about all the new SWDR ( Software Defined Radio ) is that they do not have a volume knobs. Just buttons to push. Several vendors manufacture volume knobs for PC(s) and MAC(s) that are...

    Volume goes up and down sometimes.

    So I just noticed this issue, Imagine playing green day and there's a slow soft part, then the rock and drums kick in. At the rock part the sound kind of "flimmers" it's unstable and sounds very bad and not constant. I don't know what's causing the issue if it's the amp that's underpowered or...

    Help! Amplifier max output for Speakers!

    Greetings to everyone! Guys, just a simple question regarding amplifiers. I bought a 500w amp, 2-channel bridge. So, do I have 500w on each channel (for 2x 500w speakers) or I should consider the sum of both (for 250w speakers)? I bought 2x speakers, for rear only (Alpine SXE-6925S, 6 x 9...

    High Volume Distortion

    I'm having an issue with my new car audio setup at high volumes. My head unit goes to 50, but after 35 or so the high and low pitch noises become distorted; the mid level pitches sound fine. I have pre-amp wiring going from my head unit to my amp that pushes 60 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms to my...

    Volume of head unit increases too quickly

    I recently put an AVH-2400BT in my 2003 Tahoe and I really like it. The only problem is that it gets too loud too quickly. The loudest that I can listen to it at is either 7 or 8. Anything above that and I feel like I'm going to blow my speakers. I've talked to a few people who have said...
