    5 channel amp question

    I've got a kicker KX700.5 in my truck running two component sets and a pair of 12s. *****in is all I can say. I would recommend an all-in-one solution to anyone who wants to save space or simplify an install.

    Enclosure carpeting

    I've read that some of you get decent quality carpeting form Walmart. In what department can I find this ? Walmart is kind of a hual for me so I dont want to go down there just to walk around for an hour and find nothing. Thanks

    Setting gains with bridged amp?

    I must have been really high when writing that post. At least you questioned it before you took my advice. The math is right at least !

    Setting gains with bridged amp?

    Shit, I meant 53 volts. I 'm retarded

    Setting gains with bridged amp?

    Power = (Voltage)^2 / Resistance Want to find the voltage ? Then reorganize the equation Like this: Voltage = square root of (Power x resistance) V = sqrt (700 Watts x 4 Ohm) V= sqrt (2800 "units") V = 52.915 Volts (Lets just say 60 Volts, it doesnt have to be precise) Connect the AC...

    component impedance

    If I connect the midbass to the crossover but not the tweeter, will that fark up the impedance of that channel? Say the component (here a Polk DB5250) is rated at 4 Ohm, do both the mid and the tweeter need to be connected to the crossover to achieve that impedance? I want run one full...

    JL W6 repair?

    I've got a friend with some old JL W6's that suffered some storage abuse for the last four years. One sub has some dry rot on the surround and is still playable, but needs to be fixed up. The other has too much surround damage and the sub buzzes when played. The cones and spiders seem to be in...

    I'm getting a pair of Type-S. Thread over? I dont think so.

    Wattage is also a factor. Each sub is only gonna get 225W, give or take.

    The Official Type R Thread

    A pair of SE's is gonna run me roughly $375 shipped and a pair of Type-S's off Ebay is gonna cost me $175. I'm a price/performance ratio sort of guy and I just cant justify the added cost of the SE's. I'm sure the pair of SE's would sound better overall, but $200 is a good amount I could spend...

    what will one of these RE SE 12's cost me ?

    The Official Type R Thread

    Thanks to everybody that has responded. It seems that with my space, power and enclosure type restrictions that a pair of Type-S might be the way to go. It would be nice to know that what I've installed has the potential to go very loud as the Type-R's would allow. However I have to consider the...

    Amp can supply 450W @ 2 Ohm For sound quality should I go with a pair of 12'' Type-S subs (225W/sub) or a single 12'' Type-R (all 450W)? These will be installed in the cab of a truck. The type-s subs are rated 300W RMS and we all know the type-r is rated at 500W. Another consideration is the...

    Now I have to get two. Help!

    Originally my plan was to run a single 12'' Type-R sub supplying roughly 450W RMS. This was to be installed in my 2001 Tacoma Xtracab. However I've been doing a lot of research on box designs for this type of vehicle and found the perfect solution. Not gonna buy it, just copy it ! See it here...
