    Help me pick a 6x9 coaxial and 6.5 6.5 component

    I just realized I asked a "what kind of oil should I use," type of question... Still, the input gives me a good idea. Also, holy hell those AudioQue's are the least expensive things I've ever seen. Interesting because I've never heard of the brand and can't find much information on them.

    Help me pick a 6x9 coaxial and 6.5 6.5 component

    I'm currently replacing blown speakers that are driving me insane and I wont have these amped for the first couple of months of their lives (so I'm keeping the volume low during that time). They will be hooked up to an old Rockford amp that is 62.5rms @ 4ohm when I'm able to get the time to get...

    Paying attention to 6x9 and 6.5 RMS ratings.

    From what I'm seeing, speakers these days are demanding a crazy amount of power. Your average head unit puts out probably 20-25rms @ 4ohm (I assume) and as I'm looking at just 6x9's, they're telling me the speakers themselves can handle up to 100-125rms @ 4ohm each. I have an old RF 4 channel I...

    Wire gauge recommendations

    Sure, because the power draw from the system is going to be so much different whether you have 1 battery or 2. That or else you don't understand what 'exponential' means.

    It depends on the situation. It's really basic math is the best way to figure it out. Amperage is Watts / Volts. If I buy a single SA-8 V.2 and have an amp pushing 600 watts at 13.8 volts, IF the amp reaches its max draw of 600 watts at 13.8 volts it is actually drawing 43.48 amps at that...

    I keep thinking I want to go with the SA-8 V.2 because it looks like it has a huge throw which would displace a lot of air. It just seems to me like I could get a lot of sound out of it with super low distortion.

    Wire gauge recommendations

    First off, if you look back at my post that I tried to lay out so pretty, you will notice I'm deciding on a 2nd amp and subwoofer setup. Second, my thought with the second battery was that it's a cushion for any quick, loud beats. I honestly can't figure out what I want to do here. I'm...

    Looouuuuddd single 10" sub?

    I'm looking at an Orion H2 10.4 SPL 10" and that thing says it needs a good 2000 RMS. Arson, is this the sub you were telling me about? If it is, what the hell kind of an amp would one power this thing with? Also, would it be better to go with the 10.4 or the 10.2 (Guessing the 2 and 4, we're...

    Looouuuuddd single 10" sub?

    I'm entering a DB drag event next month and I'm wanting to finish my small setup. I'm not expecting to win, but I do wanna show some people up with only a single 10". I have no clue where to start though, currently my setup is 62.5RMS going to 4 Alpine X 6.5s (Two comps, two mid-bass) with a...

    What do you work on when you're not doing audio?

    Actually I donno a whole lot about the AK, it was my first gun and I traded a gunsmith for it (He wanted my new tires I paid $350 for and had yet to use). The folding stock I like simply for carrying reasons but the son of a ***** starts to hurt after the first clip or two, so normally I will...

    What do you work on when you're not doing audio?

    I have one other hobby also that I'm not AS involved with. AK-47 Glock G32 .357 Sig Taurus Raging Bull (.50 Cal) The AK I shoot when I'm pissed because she has some awesome kick, the Raging bull is mostly for show, it's my fun revolver, the Glock is my carry-around toy.
