  4. I need help :/

    in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.

    well im not suggesting that you go out and buy a bunch of power acoustik stuff. im just merely saying that most brands have good and bad merchandise.

    and im not trying to insult your friends, but im sure you would be better off not listening to their advice. they probably have little to no experience with real sound systems and extreme bass. i would say that if you have any question, EVEN if its a dumb one you should ask it on here. people will give you advice and most often than not give you constructive criticism.

    most of the people on here are not going to say "your a dumbass for asking such a noob question" or anything of that sort. but they will correct you on things you may say that could be wrong.

    That sounds like a nice little install man, But here's your first lesson. Stay away from Boss, Dual, Power Acoustik, Pyle, Pyramid, and some other budget brands. Not trying to rag on your equipment in the slightest, just giving a bit of advice ;)

    hey man my power acoustik 4 channel is a champ haha. may not be a super heavy weight boxer but it sure aint no walter weight.

    but YES i admit that is the general rule. but i wouldnt go so much as stay away from them but i would say dont expect them to be amazing. most every company has different equipment that is good and some that is crap. but since you are learning i would suggest that you post whatever you are looking into buying on here first. many people have probably either used or had some sort of experience with the equipment. it will help you spend your money wiser. because music is truely a money pit, but worth it if you do it right

    I personally say do it right the first time... Get the better cable because if and when you decide to upgrade you are going to want better wiring.. OFC can also handle more amps

    yeah i was thinking that maybe in the future i would upgrade because its been a year of slowly collecting the stuff i need to start it. so by the time i want to upgrade even more i figured id have the extra money. i dont see me getting anything more than the 2200 any time within the next couple years.

    i agree 100% with your statement but i just want to make sure that with this set up i wont have any noticable changes if i used the kca over OFC

    Look at mechmans website he's bow selling shok and I think if you email the email in the thread about it they have a SMD price for te OFC spools

    holy cow. 184.. how much cheaper do you think he would go.. i doubt if i can get anything better than the kca for <130 range that ill be able to afford it

  13. Best grounding Point?

    I have a grounding issue becausey lights are still dimming and I've always suspected my amp ground was the culprit. The local guys told me the seat bolt or seatbelt bolt, so that's what I did but I've never felt comfortable with it. Anyway, I'm gonna redo it tomorrow. Should I ground it to the frame or just make a new hole in the body, sand it down, and use a bigger bolt?

    seat belt bolts arnt good grounds because the bolts have alot of mixed metals that create more resistance. you would be better off grounding straight to the battery neg or sanding down and grounding to your frame

  21. Ok.. New system.

    Ok.. well say $600-700MAX spend limit

    Wiring is all done, so im looking just for a sub(s)/amp combo.

    SIZE ISNT AN ISSUE

    (dont have an extra battery but that can come in a later expense)

    And if ya could, a box design for the combo (making myself)

    Wanna do it right this time (shouldve the first time)

    and I want something nice and loud.. idk if I could get 2k rms but.. I was lookin at the dc lvl 5 18 ^_^ that prolly costs a small fortune tho.

    a level 5? with a 600 dollar max spending limit? you wont be able to buy anything else with that budget if you get a level 5

    if you concerned about the money you could wait a little while and buy the crecendo 2000d its like 100 bucks cheaper and will do rated power.

    but the 1200 will slam those SA's im actually slowly putting my system together and have been for over a year. if you buy that amp youll have some extra money to spend on an extra batt and wire
