    DUAL brand subs

    Uh, yeah, those are the "Dual" XS10. They're complete and utter crap. A friend of mine acquired a couple from somewhere. They're supposed to handle 150 WRMS. We hook it up to a no name 100W amp in a cheapo prefab sealed box and the thing started smoking and burning. Hook the second one up...

    not fiberglass .. but Carbon Fiber =D

    Depening on what you are doing with the CF you don't need an oven or the ability to pull a vacuum. There are several different ways to do CF. The easiest and least equipment intensive way is to just do a wet layup like you would with fiberglass using a standard weave CF mat. Depending on the...

    JL 10W3 vs 10W3V2 ??

    Thanks. I tracked down the specs for both after you told me one was older but I didn't have much of a clue what a lot of the numbers meant. Thanks again for the help.

    JL 10W3 vs 10W3V2 ??

    So other than being last years model and the 50W of power handling is there any other real difference between them?

    new guy needs amp selection help

    OK, so I was right thinking I would need a 900W amp. I'm probably going to get an amp that is around 900W @ 4 ohms, with my searches it seems like 4 ohm stable amps are a little easier to acquire than 1 ohm stable amps. Although I don't know much about amps that soundstream looks pretty good...

    new guy needs amp selection help

    Ok, I'm almost brand new to the car audio scene. About the only thing I have going for me is friends who know a little and a little electronics background. I want some subs for my '94 Camaro and after listening to as many different subs as I could find in my area (arguably not all that many) I...
