  1. Nice job, first box or not. Whats the specs of box and woofer? oh and amp
  2. how much power do you plan on running? because 4 gauge for your big 3 will be more than enough for plenty of current due to it being so short. I have also heard of people burning the + terminal of their alternator using 0 gauge wire because of the small resistance in the wire, and the higher resistance in the terminal. Terminal heats up and damages the alt.
  3. bed liner and sound deadener are for entirely different purposes. Will a gallon of bed liner add mass to your car? Yes. Will sound deadener add mass to your car? Yup, The spray on sound deadener is nothing like bed liner, so i would recommend using each for its own purpose.
  4. i just bought an alpine cda-105 and for the most part really like the ipod controls, and the large dispay. The only thing i wish i had is the ability to scroll through the letters of the artists, then find the artist as opposed to scrolling through 400+ artists.
  5. for an aztek sub up port back will probably be the loudest
  6. I found anything off of the album awake by godsmack especially bad magic pounds pretty good
  7. Even though you will have more power, i think it will be close, and i wouldn't be surprised if the 15" is going to be louder than the 10" simply because of the increased cone area, 1500 watts can not have that big of a change on the output. Oh, though there is no d4 level 5, i'm pretty sure there is a d1
  8. now for whats in the trunk: thanks so much for the sound deadener ant! I can guarantee i will be recommending your products in the future And, thanks for taking a peek
  9. I'm pretty damn happy with the way it sounds. Right now i have the tweeters aimed right at each other with reversed polarity for each one (read it works well somewhere) Do any of you sq gurus have any suggestions? since eventually i will be glassing my tweets into the a-pillars
  10. Well i finally got around to installing the second skin door pack i won about a year ago. Dont worry, i have a good excuse- no more than 2 weeks after i won my damplifier my engine blew and i've been carless up until about 3 weeks ago when i picked up an 02 dodge neon auto 4 door. This is the first time i have installed any kind of sound deadener once i got the hang of the 1st door, the second went really fast. I really liked the deadener, however it was sometimes difficult to peel off the wax paper, (which is probably my fault for putting pressure on it in the time that its sat in my closet). In my doors i put a pair of peerless 6.5 mids, mb quart x over and tweeter powered with a jbl 75.4 The damplifier pro really brought out the midbass that i definitely did not have with my stock mids on h/u power. Now for pics: Finally got both front doors done:
  11. as mentioned above, hammer the butt end of the screwdriver but while simultaneously trying to unscrew the screw
  12. the sub will unload when it is played below the tuning frequency of the port. The sub will begin to dangerously unload about 6 hz below the tuning frequency when this happens the sub acts as if it were playing free air. If there is an object below the sub the object will cause the cone to load unevenly which can damage the coil. In your case it looks like there is a flat wall behind the sub, so you wont have any loading issues unless you wang the hell otta it way below tuning freq
  13. first of all, just have a little patience and wait until your 18, secondly look into taking a motorcycle safety class, they are only 25 bucks at my local community college and even if you dont ride the longer you have it the less your insurance will be
  14. ditch the 12's build a better box for the 15's or get different 15's and power em properly. I think a half wall would be cool too, sub forward port to the side with the 2 15's would be awesome, and you'd still have half a back seat
  15. i'm curious how you plan to tune a sealed enclosure, and as to why the 10's are there in the first place if you want high numbers at low frequencies?
  16. heres a funnier video- tick tock parady tick tock parady youtube
  17. a lot of equipment would be saved if everyone knew what distortion sounded like. I remember when i first got into car audio, cranked the gains on a 300 rms amp on a 500 rms rated woofer and cooked it and was so pissed because i had no idea why lol
  18. Unclipped signal, yes. They are a bit underrated for their thermal power handling from my knowledge.
  19. I like most of the album of Stadium Arcadium from the chili peppers, excellent recording quality, and awesome to demo sq
