I think it's done to make sure the signals match. No two coils (or inductors) will have identical inductance values. Close, but never identical. Anyway, I think the horse is dead. I'll post something more if it all goes wrong. Thanks for the feedback everybody.

Coils are wound over each other or stacked. Movement will always be rectilinear. You can see a picture here. Pictures are pretty. Given that both signals are in phase, the sum of their amplitudes will determine the total speaker displacement, or power. The only way I think this may affect...

Thanks for the vote of confidence dragnix. The reason behind the madness is money. I just upgraded my 4ch, so why would I spend money on another amp, when I have this one and it matches my sub rms perfectly. (300) Does anybody have any technical reasons why this would cause damage to my sub or...

Hi there. I wired a 4 channel amp to a DVC sub. The amp is an alpine mrp-f300 bridged at 150rms x 2ch (4ohm) and the sub is a JL 10W3V2-D4. Since each coil of the sub is 4 ohm, I figured it should work and it does! No one ever speaks of this, so I thought I'd post it. I'm using 2 y-adapters on...

Hi, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've been victimized by my own stupidity and growing love of sound. I've just purchased Polk Audio MM 6501 fronts and 691 backs. Should I power them on my current Alpine MRP-F300 @ 50rms per channel or upgrade to an Alpine PDX-F4 at 100+rms per channel? Plenty of...

In that case, if you're reading this, it's probably simpler to use audacity! Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder Cheers

Hi guys, I just wrote a program that generates simple sine wave *.wav stereo sound files for tuning the gain on your amplifier. I thought I'd share it but the attach feature on this forum dosn't let me attach zip files larger than 30kb? The file is only about 900kb. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your feedback its10v1. I have some questions regarding your comments on weather proofing of the doors. In a 99 Civic, the plastic door panel actually houses the speaker in an open compartment covered with a removable plastic grill. When the speaker is installed, is sits within the...

Hi there. I just came around to upgrading my audio system in a Honda Civic 99 CX Hatchback. It's 6.5 6x9. I decided to set a budget of $500. After some research I decided to go the following route. Please comment as I can return most of the stuff in exchange for something better. Head unit...
