Finally got the chance to put my car together and there is a buzz that plays through the amp with the motor off and the rcas unplugged. My only idea is bad ground, but I grounded the amp properly, so besides running the ground straight to the battery (very hard due to firewall space) I'm not...

I'd clean it off with some isopropyl, then give it the rice treatment and call it a day.

You will need a fuse both in the trunk and in the engine bay. If you only fuse the trunk then a short would still have access to all the power that the alternator is generating.

So I did some research on my specific head unit, and it looks like on a flat eq the preouts start clipping on 38/40, so under my understanding you just set your maximum volume to 37 and then tune the amplifier to make the rated power using v=i/r. But the article mentioned that with a eq tune...

Getting the stupid questions out first, did you plug the microphone into the right port on the headunit? There is more than one 3.5mm port on the back of the 4200nex.

I haven't heard the Infinity Primus, but I have heard the Infinity reference, and to be completely honest, I am surprised how well they sound. I did think that the Alpine type S did have better midrange and the highs were not as bright, but for the price both of them blew away my expectations. I...

The fronts are getting 320 RMS each door, so to balance that I think I'm going to need some surface area. IIRC its actually pretty easy to put two 6.5's in the back of the NA/NB, but on the NC its 100% custom either way, so there really are only 3 options I see that make sense as far as...

I'm not throwing that idea away, but that sounds so gimicky to me. I realize I'm not going to feel the base in a miata that I did with a 12" running 1000rms that I used to have, but I would think if I bought two JL Audio 8W7AE-3 and a Zapco Z-1KD I would be alot happier than to get a smaller...

Thanks, but unfortunately I'm not going to be anywhere near that area. Right now I'm in NC, but out of the places I can end up none of them would be local, hoping for either California or one of the Carolinas though.

I haven't really gotten to enjoy mine. I was under a month away from graduating my school and went home on leave for a few weeks, I saw the miata at a car lot, fell in love and bought it. Fast forward a few weeks I'm halfway across the country buying a stereo for it, fast forward a little more...

I have a build thread started for my Miata, but the tldr of what I have already purchased is a Pioneer 2300nex, zapco st-4d, alpine type x components, noico sound deadening, fast rings, and still working on what to do with subs. The limited room is these cars makes it difficult, but its what we...

The reason for the discussion is the setup that will be in my Miata, but as of right now, the setup in my miata is still the stock Blose.

No, I'm just joking around. I've never been attracted to or felt anything for another guy. But being in the Marine Corps I do a little more than my fair share of gay jokes.

I've been asked out by about as many guys as I have girls. But the guys were alot better looking. (well on that thought, maybe I am gay )

I do know how to set the gains with a multi meter, or what clipping sounds like by ear, but is there anyway to KNOW not guess with a 75% rule or 80% rule or whatever, but actually know the maximum volume you can turn the head unit up to without a SMD DD-1? You could look for clipping on an...
