I have never seen an install that I have felt this way about! Your attention to detail absolutley inspires me as an installer and makes me feel challenged to step my game up. I am pulling for you with the car audio gods and asking them to allow you to have an awesome outcome with this build...

I have an eclipse cd7000 and i have horrible engine noise. I put ground isolators on my preouts for my front and rear rca cables and they didnt help. I tried grounding them to my head unit and it didnt help. can anyone tell me where i can ground my headunit? In my 2001 bonneville, there is...

First off I would like to say that I am very excited to be able to contribute to this forum after reading and gaining so much knowledge from you guys. I have never done a true product review but I will do my best and add to it as often as more opinions develop about it. Today, I recieved my...

I am gonna be pairing a single mtx 9500 15 with a planet audio rxd1400 amp. At two ohms i will be putting 1000 watts on the sub rms. Now here is my question. A friend of mine has been an installer and a great box builder for years. He said build my enclosure to about 5 cubes. Another friend...

a router and a circle jig. flat out the best method if you know how to use them. Remember measure twice and cut once is always key...

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the new model mtx 7500 subs. From what tech support told me, the new (black) 7500 sub is supposed to be a much better sub than the older model but, if you call jensen or pyramid tech support, they will swear that their products are the...

mine is tuned to 35hz too. i talked to diamond today and they said that I am overpowering my subs too much and burning the voice coils. a friend of mine told me that it was my box and my port is too big... I am at wits end with this. It is an annoyance! I experienced it again today after about...

I have the same exact problem! only, when i first built my box, and installed my subs (two diamond audio D6 15's) and only had the gain on my amps (Diamond audio D3 1000.1's) set to about a quarter. At first it was fine and sounded great but after about two minutes, smoke came rolling out of my...

i called the manufacturer today and they said that my belt is slipping and i need to replace it with a smaller belt

ok guys. i read all the way up to page 4 in fear that i would repeat a question so if i did, I am sorry. I have an 01 bonneville SE. ***** for spl from what i hear. In it I have two diamond audio D6 15's and a Diamond D3 1000.1 on each sub. My box is 6 cubes and tuned to about 35hz. I have...

ok so i changed my pulley today. the voltage meter seems to be alot stronger but it still drops. I decided to turn off my radio and a/c to see what it did. The neede still drops down slightly. Is that just a catch to having a HO alternator? because my stock unit never dropped like that at...

ok. I appreciate the help. I will make the investment. ps- can anyone on here convince my old lady to not kill me?

it drops when the a/c is on and when my stereo is turned up with my subs turned up.

I have just the stock battery under the hood. I was thinking about moving the kinetik to its location. I made sure that i used a good frame ground for my amps because i undertstand that the ground is the most important wire in audio. right? Yeah my voltage gauge drops tremendously. especially...

If you have good 6x9's as well as components, they should produce a good amount of mid bass anyhow but by you having a full range rear stage (or rear speaker set up) It will pull the sound back and create a fuller sound. If you truly want rear speakers for just bass, I would suggest going with...
