    USING RESISTORS TO MATCH IMPEDANCE

    That makes sense. I never thought of it that way. Thanks.

    USING RESISTORS TO MATCH IMPEDANCE

    Theorhetically, I just wanted to know if this concept was possible. Realistically, I want to do SQ and I want to have as much control as possible, so I don't want to do components. I'd rather do a separate tweeter channel. One member responded with something that really made sense, so I think I...

    USING RESISTORS TO MATCH IMPEDANCE

    I thought about running 8 tweeters. I just can't imagine how to integrate 8 tweeters into the landscape of the vehicle and still have it look stock.

    USING RESISTORS TO MATCH IMPEDANCE

    4-ohm per channel is paramount.

    USING RESISTORS TO MATCH IMPEDANCE

    I I know it's stable at 2 ohm, but it's most efficient at 4.

    USING RESISTORS TO MATCH IMPEDANCE

    I don't know if this is crazy, or maybe people do it all the time. You guys can tell me. I have a Taramps DS4404. It's a 4-channel amp, rated at something like 65 watts per channel RMS. I want to run a pair of 6.5" mids on two channels, and FOUR tweeters on the remaining two channels (two...

    THE ECONOMY OF CAR AUDIO

    Is it me, or are the prices of car audio equipment INCREASING, instead of decreasing? I am a former basshead who's been out of the game for a while. Over the past few months, I have been doing a lot of research into current products and equipment, so as to make good choices when I buy my new...

    IN HiFonics WE TRUST

    What would you guys think about this particular HiFonics amp ( BXX3000.1D ) versus the Taramps Bass 3K?

    IN HiFonics WE TRUST

    I saw that dyno test. It didn't leave me feeling very confident. But the older one was rated in MAX watts, whereas the newer one is rated RMS. So I am still kind of hopeful

    IN HiFonics WE TRUST

    Hello all, Does anyone have experience with the HiFonics BXX3000.1D? It's rated at 3000 watts at 1 ohm. I confess that I'm a bit nostalgic. I had a series VIII Zeus that used to drive the hell out of a pair of 15" MTX Road Thunder Pro woofers in the back of my Mazda 626. I know that the...

    ANOTHER 12-INCH SUB SELECTION POST

    I have a stock 2014 Honda Accord Sedan. I plan on building an audio system around my Pioneer AVIC 8200 GPS unit. I don't have any other equipment yet. I am still in the planning stages. However, after much reading many articles and watching many videos, I have made my amplifier selection. I will...

    PRECISION POWER SPL

    Ok now you're talking my language. HiFonics was the sh... back in the day. I did one Accord with an Aphrodite on the JL Audio upgrades in the factory locations, and a Zeus powering two 15/W2's (I think that was the model #). The box was facing forward. The total box volume was 4cubic feet...

    PRECISION POWER SPL

    It's funny you mention Pyramid. They were the go-to of lots of back-alley installers back in the day. They had some SOMEWHAT decent amps if you knew which ones to use. I remember putting a PB-1000 on a box with four Super Pro 12's in the back if a 1986 Golf. It wouldn't have won any...

    PRECISION POWER SPL

    I have a stock 2014 Honda Accord Sedan. I plan on building an audio system around my Pioneer AVIC 8200 GPS unit. I don't have any other equipment yet. I just know that I plan on having a pair of 12's for bass. I don't know which ones yet. While doing research, I came across the Precision Power...
