Please educate me on file types. The only experience I have is burning cd's to my Zen5. Thanks!

Thanks, I'm too lazy to search, and opinions change. My knowledge is mostly home audio, and I've seen very few unported subs or speaker enclosures. My sub box is exactly as the Hertz factory rep recommended, I belive 1.25 cuft. Really don't have any more room as it already takes up one seat...

Hi guys, just wanted to start a discussion about music source and type. I've found now that I have a high end system, I find MP3's and Sat radio to be severely lacking in sound quality. (both compressed file types). I assume that the bits you lose from the compression programs become more...

Hi guys, my installer recommended non ported box for my Hertz ML3000. Claims although it doesn't bump as much, the bass will be cleaner, tighter and more accurate. Any thoughts? Norby

Hi Guys, Mentioned megaband equalizer to my installer and he suggested Preamp. Any opinions or advice? thanks, Norby

Hi Guys, Ok, update on MLK2,Lrx5.1,Mille 3000 system setup. Installer came out to my work. First rewired so left and right mids and tweets on correct side. Opened the crossovers and set the tweets to Odb, was set on -1.5db. Dropped the low pass out on the amp. Not sure where it was set, but...

Ok, apparently the opinion is against adding a cap to the system. Can I ask someone to explain why? My friend is pretty knowledgable about car stereo, he even used to work in a speaker production facility. He insists I need a cap. So, why is the list against them?? Thanks,

Hi guys, Having issues with dimming lights during bass notes, so considering installing a Cap. A friend offered to sell me a Stinger 1 farad Cap. Is it necessary? Any drawbacks? Thanks,

Installer is coming to my work to fix the crossed leads. I'm hoping the difference is fairly major. I'm also going to have him adjust some of the crossover settings. I'll keep the board posted.

He might enjoy that too much:verymad:

Hi guys, possibly figured out last night why I'm not impressed by my new MLK2's. Turning balance all the way left or right, I figured out that the installer, who IS a certified Hertz/Audison installer, has my tweets and mids cross wired. Balance left, and the left tweeter and right mid is on...

I think we miscommunicated a bit. It's 50 to the tweets, 160 to the mids. I have the suitcase, just not the manual. The D3 has an adjustable EQ as well as presets, but it's annoying because you can't adust the individual bands without effecting the band next to it. I forgot the term for this...

"You might want to take a look at your gains. " Laymans terms please. I'm very technically minded, but I'm new to car stereo. You can get as complicated as you want, but please define terms. "Most forum members are feeding them between 200-300 watts. " Do you think the LRx 5.1k is...

Well, playing around with different sources last night, fiddling with the adjustments on the D3: all the EQ settings, soundfields etc., I'm NOT very happy with the sound. The speakers before were lower end Hertz, and I swear they sounded better. It's hard to put sound impression into words, but...

"Why don't use try active? Since that 5.1k is pretty nice and can do those kinda things." Can you elaborate please?
