1300..... or someone else.... if they think they are going to improve the sound with anything pioneer thats not premier, then they aren't sure what good, nor efficient sounds like... and at that price point, its the garbage pioneer. you CAN actually get pretty far on factory mids and highs...

as bald waldo said, amplifiers with a high level input means they already have a "loc" built in.... it just reduces voltage down to a level that wont clip and distort the signal... basically a resistor of the right value..... you CAN overpower your stock speakers about 30%, but only if its a...

i usually do a distribution block/multi-fuse block when it comes to needing to rewire battery terminals. takes care of a few things at once.

34/65/78 may fit, if you have an extra 1/2-3/4" lenght. use a piece of wood to take up the extra space and see if it still fits. youll find universals in these sizes, just with different post layouts. it may be worth doing some rewiring to open up to more options. i like to go to interstate...

hate to say it, but that rockford should have been able to do what you want. feeding it is where you should turn your attention. im not really a box brand fanatic, but i used to have the 500, and it would do every bit of around 1200rms, once i fed it enough power

well, thats kind of an open ended question....., you can do 2500rms@1ohm, or you can do a pair of 1k-1200rms@2ohms. just have to know the amp dyno/birthsheet results. theres a lot of amos that run much more efficiently at 2 ohms, which you can tell by the rms output at each ohm load. unless...

just use riv-nuts or clip-nuts, made for blind fastening. some window weld should hold the ring on there pretty good..... being 4x6, you could even do a steel or aluminum adapter plate, just using tin snips, etc. youll get some good overlapping reinforcement. watch for echoing, ressonance in...

been like 20 years since i did just that. 2 l7 15s, 1000watt soundstream usa made amp, 12cu tuned at 34, iirc, that 2 separate vented to the middle. i belive it was 8cu in front of that, and a crawlthrough of like 3.5-4square foot. 143db under/around 30hz. looked like it wanted to destroy...

okay, heres what you do: as mentioned, try win isd. using hornresp for a ported enclosure (its not a bandpass either, unless you seal off in front of the speakers, which will kill your higher end) now that you are calculating a vented encolsure, things will model much easier. years back, i...

um, i just see a vented compact enclosure. im not sure you understand what a technical horn consists of. think of a horn, like is played in band. unwound, its like a 10-20foot port path. now visualize it, and think of how you are going to get that distance over 12-15 inches. that size...

close to 500, but thats pretty rare

when you put tweeters and woofers in parallel through a crossover, they work as the same driver, because they are playing different frequencies. they work either/or, not together, if that makes sense. so 4ohm tweeter and 4ohm mb woofer in parallel should make a 2ohm load on paper, but it...

as long as its parallel with the power inputs, its going to work. best as close to the current hogs as possible, but also noise will show more in the mids and highs, so if you are trying to smooth noise, and not a power "brown out" on the bass, wire it closer to the mid amps... if you are going...

that kind of describes the sound when the common is lost between a pair of channels. you get some lows and it plays the difference between right and left, but not the common sound.... given the vehicle, its most likely that the oem amp is blown, but you need to compare input and output signal...

ive only had my best luck with checking ebay first, then going to a dealer that carries the brand. they have an avenue to source parts from the manufacturer, including ic's and other weird one off parts.
