I ended up just tuning it by ear. I couldn't even get it to register when playing music

I've watched numerous youtube videos about setting gains using a voltmeter. However I can't for the life of me get my meter to make a reading on my speaker terminals. I play a 1kHz tone with my headunit at 60% volume, speaker wires removed, no crossover, no bass boost. All headunit settings set...

one more question... so i'm planning to hook it up to a 4-channel amplifier. it is rated 200 W RMS per channel at 2 ohms, and 400 W RMS (bridged) at 4 ohms. I was planning to wire the sub in series to 2 bridged channels on the amp (for 400 watts@4 ohms), but now I realize I can wire each coil to...

So I'm planning on wiring a 2 ohm DVC sub in series for a final load of 4 ohms. The sub is rated at 400 watts RMS... my question is, since I'm effectively doubling the impedance, will the final power be 200 watts? And if so, will using a 400 watt amp be overpowering it? Here's the sub: Diamond...

I'm trying to buy a grille for my 10" MTX subs: Amazon.com: MTX Magnum MB210SP Dual 10" Enclosure/Amp Combo: Electronics As you can see in the picture, the gaskets that surround the subs are raised up about 0.6", and the actual outside diameter of the gaskets is 10.2". I was looking into those...

hsk 6.5 | eBay There's a bunch of eBay sellers from Malaysia and Singapore that are selling HSK 165's for about $150 shipped... This has got to be too good to be true, right?? I've looked at forum discussions in the past about this same topic, and found no decisive answers. Many of them...

The thing is, I'm not looking to blast music that loud... I just want speakers for SQ and more treble clarity to balance my subs. I want component because my car already has a spot for tweeters. Plus, I'm still open to getting an amp in the future if I do decide I want some more oomf. I just...

Thanks for the inputs. I didn't mention that I'm probably not getting an amp; I'm going to power them with a 20 watt RMS JVC headunit. Any other suggestions for good components off headunit power? I heard lower RMS rating and higher sensitivity are usually better for this?

Vote on my poll please

So I'm buying some 6.5" components for my corolla, and I can't decide whether to go for Alpine type-R or Rockford Fosgate Punch series. I know that the general consensus is that the Alpines sound better, but I am on a budget, and I can get the RFs for $60 less. The question is, are the Alpines...
