Just seen this video from DD and thought it was interesting.

Here is what I bought so far. 2 rs team 18s and one down4sound jp83 amp. I hand 4 sets of rs neo tweeters and 2 sets of rs 6.5 neo speakers. I have a 500 amp brand x alternator and a down4dound d4s jp40 lithium battery. Good for up to 12k watts at 14.8 watts max it says. I’m trying to get the...

Recently purchased a 2023 Accord Hybrid Sport L. Has the 180W "8" speaker audio (its really 4 component speakers). I found the sound to be shockingly anemic. It is flat, there are parts of music I know are there that I can hear clearly on a better system that are just absent on this. The bass is...

Whenever I can get my hands on a 2022 Subaru BRZ, I plan on installing a custom audio system before I drive it from sea to shining sea next summer (moving from New Hampshire to Arizona). I would like to hardwire an inverter inside, to have that added security and convenience for the trip (and...

So I got a new car recently and most of my setup has officially started over. I did keep my amp and subs but that was it. I am coming from two Kicker CompVRs (07cvr124) and I want speakers that will hit lower and retain a much more accurate sound. I only have enough trunk space to (comfortably...

First off,  Thank you for looking at my post. I've had an oa 15 d2 for maybe 5 years now.  I know they are discontinued and were not mainstream when Jacob released them.   Anyways.  I am changing vehicles. Finally have the air space, trunk space,  and electrical to build a system how I would...

I wanna know how to calculate this volume effecitently and accurately. Everything you see I’ve done myself! Everything is 2 layered 3/4 mdf so far. Back wall is also thinker than the 1 1/2. Because of 2x4 bracing. This car has every bit of 200$ in foam. Just to keep from splitting body...

Never realized how much pressure the rear deck is under. I thought the trunk was sealed off, but the deadener covering the old 6x9 holes in the rear deck ripped from the pressure. Any ideas on how to cover these large holes?

Disclaimer: This is a long write up. If you just want to hate or don't feel like reading, don't bother. Useful advice is appreciated. Ok, so I'm wanting to do something that I won't have to upgrade again (I know, its an addiction and nothing will ever be enough) I have about 5...

So I just moved into my apartment which is a 2 bed 850 ft^2. I've attached a pic. That's the space I have to use including room for 2 small towers on each side of the couch. THE PLAN: I've installed many car systems along with building them. So I was planning on building the boxes out of MDF...

So, thanks in advance to any contributors and I look forward to picking some brains. Please excuse my ignorance on subjects to be determined! I am building a setup for my 2009 Malibu and I'm trying to find an old school JL 1000 (per my car-audio-educated homie's opinion - his system makes my...

I have an 06 2 door Cobalt and I need help with a system layout. Probably 2 12's and an amp only. I was thinking the Rockford T1500 and a loaded p3-2x12, but I heard the subs are garbage for low bass. I mainly listen to low bass like Juicy, Jeezy, TI stuff like that. Please help out I'm looking...

I have come to love my cars sound system. I am obsessed with installing speakers and tweaking amps right now...but I really have no idea what I'm doing. I am just playing it all by ear. There is a science to this art and I want to learn it. Where can I begin? I will work for free at any place...

Re audio SXx 12" 1000W rms 4 ohm dvc so i went on the website for the subs and found the box should be tuned to 33hz which i have no idea how to do (problem 1). the optimal space is 2.0 ft^3 per chamber. is that before or after displacement of the sub? (problem 2) the rough dimensions that i...

My budget will be about 800-1000 dollars to start off my build. I'm looking at running 2 12's. I will upgrade speakers down the line, including an amp for them. That being said, this is what I'm looking at getting for my initial setup. I would run the subs parallel, and since they are dvc4 I...
