    Opinions on speaker enclosures?

    the resonate frequency is when the speaker's cone actually starts to vibrate its self, this is different from the normal vibrations that the cone produces from the music signal. the lower the resonate frequency the cleaner the sound will be at the lower end. You do not want any speaker to play...

    Opinions on speaker enclosures?

    for any speaker that plays below 500hz building a proper box will help to control cone movement, A controlled cone/suspension will allow the speaker's resonate frequency to be lowered. this will enable the speaker to play lower with less distortion and better power handling. the main thing is...

    Confusion on Dual 2 Ohms and Dual 4 Ohms

    Yes, thank you! I made a dumb mistake last night when I was drinking. the .5 ohm was suppose to be a 1, and I was thinking of the impedance of a single sub with dual coils like mentioned. Sorry for the confusion. seriously check out the site I posted though, it should really help you with the...

    Confusion on Dual 2 Ohms and Dual 4 Ohms

    Two 2ohm coils wire to 1 or 4 ohm. two 4ohm coils wire to 2 or 8 ohm. check out Basic Car Audio Electronics for all of your questions... will be happy to answer any questions you may have after reading that site.

    How to tune my amp for an l7?

    Seriously.. For one, headunit voltage is variable the specs are never accurate, they are always rated at maximum volume, at maximum volume there is maximum distortion and clipping. the gain knob on your amp is never accurate, it is only a general guide line. a sub will not play well below its...

    Tacoma Blow through!

    mount that f'er to the back wall and vent the back wave to the outside. "infinite baffle" lower power handling but huge output.

    why is it

    Who builds boxes without the t/s specs... I don't get how this would even be accomplished. most of the subs on the market today do not include enough info to build a proper box without contacting the manufacture. Quite funny to think that someone could built a proper box knowing only three specs.

    Installing Center Channel?

    That would be good quick and easy solution.. hell, I might consider that for myself. I wonder how it sounds.

    You will never stop the voltage drop without a alt.. Professor of what? Your voltage drop is because the alt cannot keep up, when your alternator cannot keep up, then you start drawing from the battery, the battery only keeps a charge of about 12-13v (fully charged), the alternator puts out...

    Installing Center Channel?

    You currently cannot run a center channel with the amps you have, you need a dedicated amplifier channel for the center speaker, to allow the processor to do its thing.. something along the lines of a small 50w x2 amp bridged would be acceptable. A coaxial 4 or 5 1/4 should work well. It should...

    should i go with a 2nd optima yellow top or a stinger spv70?

    Have you done the alt, yet? if not, no sense in wasting money on another batt.
