    Technical question.

    I have a discussion going on at another forum with a person who claims to be a champion audio system builder and installer. I make no claims to this, but I'm not a hack fanboy novice either. Here is the debate. If you have a single speaker with an efficiency rating of 120 DB SPL at 1 watt at...

    If Borla makes an exhaust for your application that is the way I would go. I have had 3 and loved them all. By the way an M3 sounds nothing like a V8. Not saying it sound bad...but certainly different. PEACE

    Combining RCA outputs?

    I am hooking up an Eclipse CD3413 HU. I am running the rear speakers off of the HU internal amp. Front speakers and rear subs are being powered by a US Acoustics 4065.

    Weird problem help requested!!!

    All speakers run from the amp and if 1 speaker wire were shorting out wouldn't the other still work? Also the amp is not getting particularly warm. When the sound cuts it does come back within a few seconds to as much as a minute. PEACE

    I am building a sealed sub box AND THE BEST LOCATION available to meet the .45 cu ft spec is a 14 X 14 X 4 box. The 4 is the 1 figure that can't change.
