    A question about the KDC-X993

    Ah, I didn't see that. Is 32GB a hard limit, or is that based on the number of files supported and their estimated size? I looked into 32GB thumb drives but heard many of them were having compatibility issues, so I picked up a couple 16GB drives instead. Guess I'll have to make due with them...

    A question about the KDC-X993

    Will this unit power an external drive and, if so, how large of a drive can it handle? I tried searching but found no results that answered my question, and it's not really covered in the manual, either. The manual does mention that it will charge USB devices, so I'm assuming it will power...

    Quality to power ratio?

    Ok, so I can still get good quality sound at decent levels without having to push ridiculous amounts of power to them. Is that possible in a single 10" sub? And doing so for under $150?

    Quality to power ratio?

    Thank you, but I'm actually trying to reduce space. The current box my 2 10s are in takes up too much space and is always getting in my way. I'm wanting to get a single sub so I can fabricate a corner enclosure for it. I'm just looking for some insight, but that's not going too well...

    Quality to power ratio?

    Kind of an odd question, I guess, but will all subs of any reputable quality have high power requirements? I was looking at the MB Quart PWH304 12, which handles 500W RMS, because I was wanting something that could get loud but maintain decent sound quality. I would have to buy a new amp...

    Southeast Region Nov 15th Sound Off Sumter, SC

    Is it just SPL competition or is there a SQ class, too?

    Southeast Region Nov 15th Sound Off Sumter, SC

    I know but I'm a bit introverted, especially around people I don't know, so at the time the easiest thing for me to do was to just keep driving... No, I was in a green Subaru Outback Sport. There was mention that the individuals posted were the season points winners/runners-up. Was this the...

    Southeast Region Nov 15th Sound Off Sumter, SC

    I drove in to Kmart, this time waiting around an hour and a half to leave. I pulled in around 1:30pm and, again, saw maybe a half-dozen cars and nobody doing anything, just sitting around. I didn't want to come over and just stand around by myself (since I don't know anybody) so I left... Went...

    MB Quart RSH254 vs. MA Audio HK1001F

    After further research it seems maybe MA Audio isn't what I'm looking for to maintain SQ. So there's still the MQ Quarts & Memphis shallow-mount subs. I suppose that would now make the Polk Audio MM1040DVCs the runner up. They're a bit deeper than the others (4.5" vs 3.75" of the MB Qs...

    MB Quart RSH254 vs. MA Audio HK1001F

    I've been looking at shallow-mount 10s and think I pretty much have it narrowed down to these two models. Each is rated for 400W RMS, though I'm looking to maintain as much SQ as possible while getting loud. I haven't decided if I'll go with a single 10 in a corner enclosure (I have a Subaru...

    What's the difference in speakers?

    I printed your post out this morning, looking at it over the course of the day during down-periods, and... egads! How does anyone short of having a background in electrical engineering select a sub?

    any good shops in south carolina?

    Where is Soundmasters? It "town", or back closer to I20? Anyone know what brands they carry?

    Picking out a new ride - Recommendations?

    How 'bout a Subaru? You can probably find a decent Legacy or WRX for 9k and would meet your criteria. Mileage would be better, too. My wife's Tahoe gets 13-15MPG, my Subaru gets 24-28 (with the Yakima rack off; 22-24 with it on)

    What's the difference in speakers?

    What other specs are there to consider when comparing? I'm looking around into subs in my price range and would like to know how to identify if a particular sub is designed more for SPL or SQ. I want to get louder but not at the sacrifice of sound quality, so I wouldn't want to buy something...

    What's the difference in speakers?

    Let's say we have 2 subs with similar specs on paper. For this example lets say both are 4 Ohm DVC 10s that handle 200W RMS. And for the sake of this example, let's say that both require the same air space and will be powered by the same amp (i.e. try one out, remove it from the box and...
