    A few noob questions

    Not sure exactly, my gains are at 9 oclock (factory recommend) but a car forum (not sales man) said to turn them to 50% gain but I don't want to really mess with gains too much because I have bad luck with amps I guess ha. I have my car apart right now cleaning the carpets, running wires for...

    A few noob questions

    Thanks for the info! I think I will set it to 80hz, I was thinking about getting a cheap Power Acoustik RW1-8 little 8 inch sub (240 watt rms) because I already have an old Boss PH300d (not good quality I know) and wires. For that just rca it, run the to the battery/ground, and do I splice the...

    A few noob questions

    It would be appreciate for your answers! (WORDING EDITED) First off, I have JBL GTO628 2way, JBL GTO938 3-Way (rear), Alpine KTP-445U, and a pioneer DEH-X8600bh. Now first off I obviously didn't think to far into this so sorry that I am an idiot. 1.) Also the speakers have a 0db and a -3db...

    4 channel audio set up

    Ok, this is the set up I came up with. The rms from the speakers and amp line up perfect. The rears take a little more juice but it shouldn't matter, should it? I won't be blasting anything but I do not want to under power anything and I want a good brand. So the fronts need 60watt rms -> 120...

    Alpine Type R 12" sub, Boss PH3000 D mono block amp, Box

    Well good for you man, I hope you do well and finish your degree. But the Kelly School is ranked 21 in the country for business, seeing as Carnegie Mellon is 18th and Cornell is 17th. Also, I still really don't care about the rules at this point. Anyways good luck on your midterms, I'm out of here.

    Alpine Type R 12" sub, Boss PH3000 D mono block amp, Box

    I mean how often do you read the rules and terms of conditions of things? Plus I was only really going to post one thing and leave so I didn't care about the rules that much. I know how forums work. And as for schooling I bet mine is harder, I'm a sophmore at IU in the Kelly School of Business...

    Alpine Type R 12" sub, Boss PH3000 D mono block amp, Box

    I understand now about the picture rules but I did say to PM me and I gave out my location. I have been buying TT parts for the past two years from forum members and I understand what it is like to get ripped off. I also forgot I had the pictures on my computer and it was 1am when I was posting...

    Full new setup, help a beginner out.

    This is what I think I will do, thanks. Any recommendations for the 6-1/2" or 6-8"? Are those alpines fine or should I get something better since I will probably be saving money on tweeters and a 5 channel amp?

    Alpine Type R 12" sub, Boss PH3000 D mono block amp, Box

    Should I have included a picture of all of the oil spilled on my alternator too? What does that even have to do with the sub? If it is over drawing power the amp or head unit will reset. The sub has nothing to do with it? The sub's voice coils look great and nothing is burnt? If my amp only gave...

    What do you mean going active? If I go sub-less I would choose a 4 channel amp, correct?

    Alpine Type R 12" sub, Boss PH3000 D mono block amp, Box

    That is a reason why america is ****? What? I am not sure what that means, also I didn't touch those dials because I was unsure of what they did, so factory settings. I had the sub set to +4 on my head unit, remote for amp unplugged, and volume around 8-12 due to a weak alternator that would...

    Full new setup, help a beginner out.

    So install the speakers at my feet and rear without coaxial's and install the tweeters on my dash or A- Pilar's? These will all wire up to the 5 way amp? Also the head unit, what should I look for specification wise? The Pioneer DEH-80PRS listed above has 3 way active and 200watt rms? Is that...

    Alpine Type R 12" sub, Boss PH3000 D mono block amp, Box

    I forgot I had the photo on my computer.. And nice **** by the way, makes you look real ba, and duh the amp is crap, I said that, I said it to prove that the sub was healthy and it isn't too awful, it shook my hatch enough to break my plastic hatch lining. For a 34 year old man you sure have a...

    This was good info, thank you, to both of you. Yea I looked into those coaxial to avoid tweeters, they probably are not as good but I am a beginner to this. Also you mentioned sound denoting in the walls? I will look into that.
