I also have one of these that needs a home, but the recommended enclosure for this is pretty dismal too (and it supposedly has ~twice the power handling). https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item-23865-Soundstream-R1-12.html

Yeah, it's definitely for Live Music - it has 6.5mm/TRS(?), XLR inputs. Anyway, I wasn't sure dedicating it to one sub would be ideal. At least according to manufactures recommended enclosure size...or do they notoriously undersize recommended enclosures? It's almost twice the volume that...

Hallo, All. Can someone help give me an idea of what frequency this enclosure may be ("...and show working" 😂 - so I can work this out for myself in the future)? I saw it for sale locally for a few dollars, and I thought it would come in handy as I have a couple of little Kicker 12's with no...

I'm chasing the cause of, what seems to me, Ground Loop. I turn the headunit on, and the speakers have a low hiss. Once the media is about to start, the hiss gets louder. *Headunit is new and not faulty (as far as I can tell). *Problem is present for all sources (video, USB, radio) *I've...

Thanks, dragon.breath and 1aespinoza. Is Channel 1, in this instance, generally Left or Right?

Some help, please... I have two of these amps, I plan on using one for the front L/R channels, and the other for the rear L/R channels. https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item-21906-Kicker-DX200.4-08DX200.4.html Obviously I'll have to use RCA splitters to have all of the amp's RCA inputs filled...

I never knew that I could reach the same voltage (as alternator output), at other points further down a circuit. E.G, at the second battery, or amplifier. This is the amplifier; https://www.zeroflex.co.nz/shop/product/507658/evo-3k-1-x-3000rms-1ohm-amplifier-with-bass-controller/

Yes. It is. It is connected via a voltage sensitive relay.

Given the relatively obscure nature of this amp, and my inexperience, I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm able to do with this amp. *Main (KICKER EX450.4) The number of channels of amplification4 Outputs acoustics4.0 Specifications (KICKER EX450.4) Power per channel at 4 Ohms80 watts Power...

I've just bought an amplifier which states how much power it makes at a given voltage (13.4v). As this amp will be run from my second battery (max ~12.5v?), I'll never see the full potential of the amp, unless I run it directly from the alternator, right? If I'm only able to power the amp from...

Thanks for the (sensible) replies - I should follow the advice. That KX amp wasn't cheap and I'd hate to wreck it. I have two brand new L7 10" subs that I could wire to 2 ohm... I'm just worried that it would be a huge loss of SPL compared to what I'm used to with the 15's. From what I've been...

I have two of these: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-anluyN9D5f0/p_2066S15L54/Kicker-Solo-Baric-L5-06S15L54.html ...and one of these: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-LN4HQwNpOh6/p_2064KX16K1/Kicker-40KX1600-1.html The amp ,according to the Kicker certificate, can make 1,763wrms. Even though, I...

...with one of these?

Sooo...I start to pull my 3.5mm lead out of the back of the head unit. Once I get to ~3/4 of the way out, the music starts playing through the left channel (right one goes silent). This confirms broken Aux input?

Dafaseles - Thanks for the suggestion, but I specifically used a 3.5mm with multiple bands to also transmit video from the iPod. The second lead I tried was definitely a mulitband/stereo one. Popwarhomie - that's a good idea, i'll see if there are options for that in the menu/settings.
