I know theres already a thread about engine whine noises and everything to do about it. I have good stinger RCA's, The amps are grounded on the battery(which some 1 told me is the best ground), I have a Pioneer HU and I tried the wrapping wire around the RCA outs and grounding them to the HU, I...

I heard when running wires in any vehicle to run the RCA wires on one side and then run the 12V power cable, remote wire and speaker wire on the other side. Can I run the one speaker wire for a component set with the RCA's or will that create unwanted noise. And If I run the ground cable next...

I have a pioneer raddio and I was thinking of grounding the rca''s with copper to the radio chassis. I was concerned with the white and red rca out touching each other with the copper strannd and if this makes a difference, since one channel of the rca is touching the other channel. thanks.

when you loop the copper wire around the rca's and ground them to the pioneer radio chassis, you can still use those rca outputs, right? And when you do this it connects the right channel of the rca to the left channel of the rca, does this create any problems, that the rca white and red are...

I installed my 4g amp kit and I seperated the RCA's from any power source such as 12V power, remote, or speaker wire and my component set is making a whining noise which matches the the RPM's that my car is putting out. If the Ground cable is next to the 12V power cable can this cause the noise...

If the specs for my speaker are 1.5 cu. ft. of airspace minimum and 6 maximum, this is for a sealed box, should I go in between those specs?

I dont know much about batteries, but some 1 told me to run a yellow top optima battery in the cab instead of a power cap. I was wondering if this optima battery is the same or worse than a Stinger SPV20 battery, dont know the cranking amps or anything about both batteries, just need some advice...

I heard if you get the Y splitters and use it on your only RCA out on your cd player, it will send the wrong signal to your speakers because the RCA out on the cd player is specifically meant for a sub or rear speakers wich are mainly low or mid speakers. This 4 channel RCA converter allows you...

I have a newer crappy JVC cd player and it only has 1 RCA out on the back. I purchased this RCA converter that allows me to connect the speaker wire on the cd player to it and it gives me an additional 2 RCA out. I can change the outs on the RCA converter to highs or lows wich ever im using the...

I have a 15" L7 solo-baric, The sealed box specs say it needs 2 cu. ft. of airspace and the ported box says 3-6 cu. ft. I was wondering which is the best to build for this sub and I was wondering if sealed boxes wear subs out quicker than ported, because of the air pressure with a sealed box...

I have 2 L7 15" solo-barics w/ 2 kicker 1200watt amps. I need to know how many, and what kind of batteries I need to mantain good current while running the system. I dont want to get any power caps because a few people told me there junk and to run 2 batteries instead of the power cap for good...

I have a 15" L7 solo-baric that I would like to make a ported box for. The cu. ft. of airspace specs for a ported box is 3 cu. ft. minimum and 6 cu ft. maximum. I was also wondering how to get the lowest or deepest bass, Would I have to make the ports in the box to compress the air before it...

I already got the sub and amp. would the measurements that I gave before be good for a sealed box. I'm trying to build a box for a reg. cab 03 Dodge Ram1500 and the measurements I gave before are the maximum I could use to build this box?

im making a box thats 17"H x 5'L x 9"W around 4.8-5.0 cu. ft. or airspace what would be a good port width and how many walls should I make for the port? Is 3 walls better than 2? Its for a L7 15" solobaric. thanks.

How do I find the airspace on a box that the face slants at a angle? thanks
