    blown channel??

    ok, so about a month ago i noticed my passenger front speaker was cracking, so i thought i'd managed to blow it, replaced the speaker with a new set, and the same thing. so i thought perhaps a wire had a bare spot and was rubbing metal somewhere. turns out, my girl left a coke in my glove box...

    What could make a speaker sound blown?

    ok, so all week i've been trying to figure this one out... the speaker is randomly doing this, when i turn it up where i consider it loud its there, but at normal volumes, sometimes it does it others it doesn't. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the speaker wires rubbing something metal or...

    What could make a speaker sound blown?

    i'm doubting that the speakers are actually blown, first set was a nice set of jbl, the ones that i tried to replace with were cheaper optimus 3 ways, that a friend had laying around. both just sound like a tweeters blown, but both are obviously not (swapped passengers and drivers get the same...

    What could make a speaker sound blown?

    ok, i know the title sounds stupid, but i haven't found an idea about what could be causeing this. i've got an alpine 9833, and my passenger front speaker sounds like its blown. now i tried to swap out the speakers, but with the new one it sounded the same. I'm not sure if its all the time...

    how bad is having your subs in too big a box?

    well i've worked it out to 2.8 cu ft (before taking the subs vol. out) and the reccomended is 1.3~2.5 cu ft... so i guess its not all that far off... but it is big and ulgy.

    how bad is having your subs in too big a box?

    ok, so i measured the prefab box i have for my subs.... it's almost a cu ft over the recommend specs for a sealed box... just wondering how bad that would be for the subs? i'm assumeing that it'll decrease the subs output maybe? any thoughts?

    trunk layout... ideas?

    i drive a sad little car... the seats will be replaced because a.) i'm a ***** and don't like people in my back seat, it's too small for normal people to be comfortable while the people up front are. and b.) it'll take a little bit of the weight out that the system puts in (yes i know i drive a...

    trunk layout... ideas?

    do you mean, have a similar box, pushed back all the way to the back of the seats? make the box wider to fill the width, and then mount the amp to the box? this idea was tossed around, along with many others over a few bowls at my boys house... we came to the conclusion that since the rear...

    trunk layout... ideas?

    ok, so after measureing a few things today, i'm almost sure i'm gonna glass them into the side walls. (though the floor idea is sounding good, just not sure about protecting the woofers...) i'm wondering i thought i read somewhere that placeing the subs faceing each other can cancel out the...

    ok, i'm tired ot the way my trunk looks, but i'm haveing a tough time figureing out a good lay out, and thought i'd ask opinions... i'm thinking about doing a false floor, and mouting the amp in it, with the subs either on the sides in the space behind the wheel wells, but i'm not sure... any...
