    Hi input multichannel amp

    Hi so this is for my girls car and she doesn’t want to get rid of her stock HU yet so I’m planning to use the hi input connectors on the amp using the left and right door speaker wires. We’re doing new comps in the doors and a sub in the trunk. My question is, can I run those door speaker wires...

    2011 Silverado, need sub suggestion

    There’s a bit over a half inch space behind the magnet. There’s also a rubber piece in the middle of my magnet that would hit before sealing the vents.  When I modified the box I used PL, then nails, then caulked both sides of the seams. Then I went around the entire box and added probably...

    2011 Silverado, need sub suggestion

    2011 Silverado, need sub suggestion

    I’ll post some dimensions today. The box I have is down firing  My crossover is set at 70hz -24db Subsonic 15hz -24db but I’ve tested it at every different crossover point I could. And he just has a little sedan. But I put his subs in my truck just to test if it was really the subs.

    2011 Silverado, need sub suggestion

    l know all my equipment is better, that’s why I’m kind of bummed out lol... and I’m not sure what else I can do to improve my setup. I took his subs and put them on my seat and hooked them up to my amp. His subs still blow mine away. That leaves the box and the subs in the equation and I’ve...

    2011 Silverado, need sub suggestion

    Yeah back to square one.  I ended up getting the mp300s and a sealed fox box and it sounds decent but not that good. I don’t remember you, did you have another suggestion?i

    2011 Silverado, need sub suggestion

    Quick story why I need new subs. My friends subs sound way better than mine, here’s our setups. -My friend has a set of Sony Xplod 12” subs in the ported Sony box they came in. With a $2 amp from a thrift store that literally looks like it was found at the bottom of an ocean. - I have a set of...

    Re: d3cd42d6-89b1-4eb2-a341-37188b4c434b Cool. Always wanted to put more speakers in my doors. Did you just cut holes in your existing door or did you custom make it?

    Voltage regulator for amplifiers?

    2x 700w mono amps 1x 500w 4ch amp I don’t know who you are but if you sell amps for a good price, I’ll definitely take a look.

    Voltage regulator for amplifiers?

    External of the alternator? I assumed so. I don’t want to mess with the voltage of anything else on the truck. I like to think that gm has a reason for altering the voltage. So I just want to regulate the sound system. The regulator would go inline with the stereo power wire right? And I’m...

    Voltage regulator for amplifiers?

    I’ve noticed that my trucks voltage varies from 12.5-15.3v and I thought my alternators regulator was toast but apparently the ECM is controlling my alternators output. And it’s normal to go as high as 15.5v when certain conditions are met, one of those conditions is the temperature of the...

    New headunit. Lower volume/sound quality

    I was only using this headunits internal amp with the stock speakers until I had a chance to install the rest of my system. I live in Canada and we get like 2 feet of snow every week so I’m not very motivated to go work outside lol.

    10s vs 12s with the same watts

    Excellent. Thank you for that site. If i get the 10s ill probably grab one of their boxes. I lean a little more towards SQ, but i also like to play my music very very very loud. Are the 10s SPL really that much lower than the 12s?

    10s vs 12s with the same watts

    I don’t really want to port my subs. But I’ll try to get my 3rd amp on the back wall and use the amp shelf to get that 1 cf then get the 12s and stay sealed. If not I’ll consider doing the 10s ported. Did you build the ported box yourself? And it’s a 2011 Silverado crew cab.

    10s vs 12s with the same watts

    I assume you mean mount them facing into the box? I can’t do that, my enclosure is under my truck seats. That was my thought. Thanks! Well, I’m not using a ported box, but I might be able to increase the airspace to 1 cf. I could sacrifice my amp shelf and find room for one more amp on my back...
