    CDA-117 CD player problem(?)

    I have had the same problem in Toronto. I work in an electronics retail store and when playing CD's mine has cut out or even skipped ahead to the next song (in rare cases) I have also noticed our demo model on the wall pauses when playing CD's as well. I think it is definitely a problem on...

    Putting 10" subs were 6X9's go

    its a decent sized car i just dont want it to take up alot of space: I was thinking of moving the Audison amp in the amp rack and mounting the JH1200's on the seat possibly in another custom case or smthing. If I run open air wouldn't I have to close off the trunk so create the effect of a...

    Putting 10" subs were 6X9's go

    Instead of running open air what if I were to construct 2 seperate boxes under the deckplate? My orig box for my type R is only .8 cubic feet or so. Im sure 8s would work better, I actually have 2 boxes that I would be able to mount that way but I want to get as much kick as I can so I think 10s...

    Putting 10" subs were 6X9's go

    Just thought of the idea in doing some custom work and putting possibly 2 10" subs in the spots my 6X9's are. Right now I have a 12" Type R running off of a MTXJH1200. My box and design is low profile and I wanted to get more bass. I was thinking if I do 2 10" in the 6X9 spot with possibly the...

    How much difference? Type R 12" 4 ohm 400W RMS Vs. IDMAX 12" 2ohm 800W RMS

    I guess I will be looking for best bang for my buck right now. I havent heard too many good systems so its hard to image how it pounds. How would it compare to say 2 12" Type R's ported??

    How much difference? Type R 12" 4 ohm 400W RMS Vs. IDMAX 12" 2ohm 800W RMS

    Im still open but I need something with shallow depth (similar to type R around 7.5-8") To fit the box and space needed since its a smaller custom box. Right now its just under a cubic foot and if I do port it I can imagine it being around 2 cubic feet plus theres always the pink stuff Im just...

    How much difference? Type R 12" 4 ohm 400W RMS Vs. IDMAX 12" 2ohm 800W RMS

    Right now im running a 12" Type R (4ohm) with 400W RMS from my MTX JH1200 (1200W Jackhammer) I want to upgrade my base with something that pounds but can still deliver great sound quality. I like ID but im wondering if I should spend the extra money to get the sub since I already have more then...

    The current state of Sony headunits?

    JVC is about the same as Sony, id stay away from both. Go with the Kenwood or Pioneer.

    Strange rattling noise from speaker - Turns out they are unglued aroung the edges

    ^ I took the panels off, the skrews are not loose I already said the problem is the glue coming off around the cone and they are not blown.

    Cold Weather VS. Amplifiers

    I live in Toronto and usually warm my car up first with remote start. I have noticed however if its really cold the sub sounds a bit tight but it goes away. I leave my Ipod in the dash and its always cold as shit if I need it lol, but works fine on the HU.

    Doubling the RMS on Components?

    It mostly comes down to your ears. Some people can tell the difference better then others but higher power just means it will be cleaner sound at higher levels.

    Strange rattling noise from speaker - Turns out they are unglued aroung the edges

    Speakers: Image Dynamics CXS64 Amp: Audison SRX 4 bridged to 2 channel at 4 ohm. 170W RMS to each speaker which are underrated and list upto 175W RMS recommended on the ID site. So not cheap shit.

    Strange rattling noise from speaker - Turns out they are unglued aroung the edges

    ^ They sounded and still sound great, I was playing them for a while thinking it was something loose in my door panel. Thats why I think it may be a defective set because they still sound fine and some more bassy song I would hear the buzz but others they still sounded amazing.
