    Speakers Cutting In And Out - All Speakers Work But Not Always At The Same Time

    Thanks for the update - it helps as the variables are known. Sounds like bad solder connections in the factory HU - so either repair or replacement is needed. Repairing would involve pulling and correcting any cold solder - if you've been wanting an updated HU then now's the time! -Eric

    Speakers Cutting In And Out - All Speakers Work But Not Always At The Same Time

    Could you provide a little more information for help on troubleshooting? What's your system layout? Factory head unit? Is there an amp? Or two? Is there anything between the amp and head unit (provided there's an amp) such as DSP/crossover/EQ? If this isn't factory - did you install or was it...

    Smoking amp but no visual burns

    I don't know about newer designs, but "back in the day" amps had a "dummy diode" in the power supply that was designed to fail if the polarity was reversed. Designs may have evolved to just blowing fuses, but I agree with @Popwarhomie - if the fuses don't bring it back from the dead you'll need...

    What amps do you recommend around here?

    Great question! As this is a forum, you're going to receive a multitude of opinions and some replies that will counter someone else's opinion :-) How did you decide on the dd 200 series subs? Have you personally auditioned them or did you research and draw your own conclusion? If it was the...

    what ohm should I use for amp/sub?

    Good question - depends on what you're looking for. Doubling the power, from 350 to 700watts (you're close at 650w) should yield a 3 dB gain in output so there would be a noticeable difference in volume - keep in mind that to double the output volume you would need 10 times the power (3,500...

    4 gauge power and 8 gauge ground?

    Yes and no - depends on the length. Ideally you would have the same gauge for both, but the size is dependent on the length of the run. As the wire gets longer the resistance increases therefore the gauge also needs to increase as you can see from the chart - longer runs need larger wire to...

    2015 Accord Coupe - factory audio upgrade

    Finished door - I did reinstall the Honda door treatment as they’re using CCF: I removed the factory tweeters and was able to press the Morel tweeters into place then secure with hot glue: Tweeter installed - wasn’t able to use grills but I don’t feel they’re necessary: -Eric

    2015 Accord Coupe - factory audio upgrade

    Step one - front doors. I have this week off however our kitchen remodel took more of the week than I expected so I wasn’t able to work on my car until yesterday. I spent about four hours treating the doors and adding Morel separates in place of the factory speakers. Immediately I noticed...

    2008 Accord Coupe - factory upgrade

    So what’s next? Besides fixing the images in this thread? In my opinion the system sounds phenomenal as evidenced by the before and after RTA screenshots below. I can’t imagine the Morel components had such a terrible response curve and Honda must have equalized the car to compensate for some...

    2008 Accord Coupe - factory upgrade

    Update: LCQ-1 and remote control One of the main selling features for purchasing the Audiocontrol LCQ-1 was to have remote sub woofer level control. I decided to mount it in an empty cubby hole to the left of the steering column that I never use. I had two goals: make it difficult to see from...

    Personal Review: Zapco ST-5X II 5-channel amplifier

    Thanks! The pictures I have are of the most current Gen II and after discussions with Zapco they updated the pics and specs on their site, at least on the ST-5X II page, as the ST-X page still indicates this amp doesn't have high-level inputs. Woofers Etc. listing on Amazon has current pics...

    Great questions! I'm going to ask a few questions and others will chime in: What's your goal with subs? SPL? Sound quality? Both? What type of music do you typically listen to? What's the volume in the box you're using and is it ported (looks ported)? Do you know the tuning frequency...

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    Just a quick reply as it it sounds like you're making headway. Have you tried swapping the polarity on the sub? I have mine firing backwards and swapping polarity makes a huge difference - although again your results may vary. -Eric Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    Here's the pin out I used and as I removed my rear speakers I'm running the fronts into the main input and sub into sub/channel 3. I disabled summing and auto-mode and don't have AccuBass engaged. Currently gains on amp are all the way down with the levels on the AudioControl at about 80% and...

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    Very interesting - where are you as maybe someone from the forum could assist? Also - where did you get the LC7i? Based on what you're explaining, especially with the maximize light, you may have a defective unit. Here's my setup and I can get you more details, apologize if I'm repeating and I...

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    Any updates? I installed a LCQ-1 this morning and while I need to get it dialed in I didn't lose bass. I don't know how you addressed the single sub output in your install but I paralleled mine. -Eric Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    Sorry for the delay. Here's the wiring for front and rear ANC for the 08-10 Accord - 12 is most likely similar as I don't think the major change was until 2013. In the image you'll see the wiring is the same color with and without navigation but the front plug is different and you may need to...

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    I have solid bass through the range although it stops increasing around 20 and the mids/highs continue. Based on the way the engineers designed the loudness functionality I feel the subs will need to be controlled at lower volumes which is why I'm getting the LCQ-1. I unplugged the front and...

    Question on deadening the trunk. Yesterday my family and I made a trip to Le Claire to visit Antique Archaeology. With them in the car and trying to listen to my system at lower volumes I noticed quite a bit of road noise coming from the rear of the vehicle (2008 Accord EXVL Coupe) and I...

    LC7i not normalizing bass?

    I have an 08 Accord Coupe with Premium (no navi, shouldn't matter) and while my bass also seems to have the strongest output between 15 and 20 on the volume, it certainly doesn't disappear after this range. I've adjusted my outputs accordingly for playing at 28 and the drawback is my system can...

    2008 Accord Coupe - factory upgrade

    CCF did the trick! Doors are quiet except for one buzz that I need to tackle and with the insulation I think there's a substantial decrease in outside noise coming through the doors.

    2008 Accord Coupe - factory upgrade

    Went back into the doors today and removed the foam I put around the speakers as I was paranoid it would eventually rub the surround. I never sealed the large access openings on the inner door skin and had some buzzing on certain tracks - added a layer of 1/4" ccf to see if it makes a...

    2008 Accord Coupe - factory upgrade

    Thank you! I think that in an ideal situation I would get the tweeters closer to the midbass or at least angled better as you stated. These are crossed @ 3.5KHz (12db) which should help offset their placement slightly. -Eric
