I'm pairing a Clarion CZ505 (http://www.clarion.com/us/en/pdf/CZ505_inst_EN.pdf , http://www.clarion.com/us/en/pdf/CZ505_manual_EN.pdf if you want the full manual) with a Blaupunkt Blue Magic Xlb 300 A I'm having trouble "hearing" the correct phase for the subwoofer. I plugged the 'Red' RCA...

good ideas.. im going to try those and get some pictures

do you think it could be water damage?

Interesting, that puts my mind at lease. Especially since I don't notice any negatives in sound quality. Thanks guys

I was replacing unacceptable (imo) speaker mounting a shop did with my Hertz coaxial HCX 165's. There were two that I needed to fix the shop mount implementation. I inspected each speaker, because well, I never saw them before; they've always been behind my door panel. I've had these speakers...

Looking back on the situation now, you are absolutely correct. I can perceive no negative impact on the quality of the audio/music using the existing stock speaker wire runs. I tend to get angry when I'm not educated prior to spending a lot of money. But then again, the education needed to...

you were spot on, though I had to get an entire different amp for this fix to work. For some reason the Zapco made no difference when I changed the gain, but the Audison Sr4 amp made relatively linear diference. i am extremely happy with the gain set at 5.5 (out of 10) on the Audison S4 amp (no...

yep channel 1-2, 3-4 are set to no high pass filter on the head unit. cross over is set at -2db (tweeter switch) because my left ear is kind of sensitive, and these tweeters are bright, at least brand new (not sure if they will change after broken in). i have to balance my system -2, to -3 db on...

I used these settings today: http://i.imgur.com/LicyXeH.jpg and I'm pretty happy with it. In between 5 and 6. I don't hear any hiss at all unless I turn the volume up really loud with nothing playing. That seems pretty normal to me. Enjoyable loud listening volume is around 30 (50 is the max it...

Got a new amp. Interesting results. The shop put in a Audison SR - SR 4 to replace the Zapco They also cleaned up the install a bit, I like it a lot. You can see the progression as they tried to address the hissing noise First Install: First Service - Album on Imgur Second Install: Second...

very helpful thank you

Wouldn't this be the most definitive and easiest confirmation they are real: weigh the woofers/tweeters on a scale? Elettromedia gives you the weight specs for their components and coaxials. A "postal scale" would be perfect, especially one that lets you change to different units of mass. Like...

ya i agree

I finally got around to removing my front passenger door to see the wiring. It does look like the wires are near the mirror motor wire. I took some pictures here: Possible Tweeter Hiss Cause From Mirror Motor Wire - Album on Imgur Do you think this could be the cause, possibly? I'm not so sure...

My head unit uses pre-outs to a discrete amplifier. My head unit has signal processing filters (low pass and high pass) My amp has signal processing filters (low pass and high pass) If I set the High Pass Filter on my head unit to 50hz, does that mean my amplifier will never get a signal...
