    Break in time

    Ok i just hooked up my solobaric up and kicker says it takes 2 weeks to break in... my question is, will i notice a big difference between now and the time the speakers break in or will it be pretty much the same? other questions... Is it ever ok to turn my gains all the way up? (700 RMS amp...

    Capacitor help!

    Ok, i have a 94 honda civic, w/ a 70 AMp mitsubishi alternator, and im pretty sure its a stock battery (or very very old). My new set up is a rockford 700s amp bridged to 700x1 @ 4 ohms and a 12" solobaric L7... I thought about running a second battery, and dedicating the old battery to the...

    Capacitor help!

    Ok, sometimes when really low bass notes hit, my system will cut off and the sound will return a second later... Would a cap fix this? If not a cap, then what would? New battery, alternator, wires (using 4 ga.)?

    Help me out, dont wanna ruin anything

    HEY LEMME ADD ANOTHER QUESTION: Is the gain level and the # of watts your speakers see directly correlated? In that, i mean if my amp puts out 700 watts and the gain is up halfway, will it be giving the speaker 700 watts?

    Help me out, dont wanna ruin anything

    Ok my Rockford 700s amp bridges into 4 ohm mono... the amp also has 2 gain controls, one for left and one for right... it says in the manual that these gains need to be set equally if the amp is bridged into 4Ohm mono (im running one sub off of it). My question is , will i hurt my solobaric...

    What's With "kids" Nowdays?

    Since when is having a stereo system, or even a car for that matter, a real necessity? Until the age of 18 you can bet your ass his parents had better satisfy his needs, but as far as him wanting a car and a system that will wake the dead his parents need not feel obligated to get...

    L5 vs L7

    Could it be possible that the people who rip the corners of their speakers havent broken them in properly... kicker suggest 2 weeks at 1/3 volume to break them in due to their stiff structure and nature. Perhaps slamming the speaker without giving them a chance to break in and create a more...

    WHy do these always blow out?

    I was reading carreview.com on their reviews for the 01 model Solobaric L7's, and i noticed alot of people there were saying they're really great except the fact that they had to replace them several times cause they blew them out.... Why is it that they always blow out? If im giving them the...

    cost effective way to help my electrical system

    I have a feeling my electrical system will suffer with this new setup.... i have a 94 civic (DX model electrical system, which i think is probably bad) and im bridging a class AB amp down to 4 ohm mono... The amp is a Rockford 700s 700watts x 1 bridged @ 4 ohm and requires a 60A fuse... Whats...

    Do D Class amps use less or more amps?

    I have a 2 channel amplifier, that bridges into 4 ohm mono.... does running the amp in 4 ohm mono act the same as running a D class amp as far as how much impact it has on your alternator? I read that Mono power amps put less stress on the alternator.... so when i bridge the amp into 4 ohm...

    What's With "kids" Nowdays?

    A popular misconception... I am an 18 year old student with a "rice rocket"....I have a loud stereo of which i dont care if anyone hears aside from myself... i have headers/induction/exhaust on my car (doesnt sound like a mower though) making it very loud when i accelerate hard. It seems like...

    2 X 10"s with no box... What now?!?!?!

    Dont bother porting the box if you're using a jensen 250 w amp... fiberglass is too expensive to be wasted and too hard to add to the box... those speakers will sound good in a sealed box... if you want deeper bass just add polyfil (pillow stuffing) to the box... or if you want a little deeper...
