    would you recommended ported or enclosed?

    yeah i have been reading this site for a while just never get an account because i dont know much at all, after all im only 16 :noob:

    but everyone is so willing to help scrubs like me..

    everyone on here would recommend ported, as long as is a "nice box :) " , I can help you design it and so can many others on here :) .

    Don't be so hard on yourself, everyone needs to start somewhere, I'm sure you will learn a lot on this website, I know I did, and I'm still learning, there is so much to know and thet knowledge just keeps growing :good:

    MDF?

    and what do you mean tuning

    thanks bro for everything tho!

    medium density fiberboard. The wood that is pretty much compressed sawdust, very good for making subwoofer boxes, used by most people on here.

    It you build a ported box, you will have to use a calculator (there is one on this site, made by torres, a download link is on his page) to work out what frequency the box will be tuned to, I would suggest around 35hz, the port should also be between 12-14 square inches per cubic foot of the box, all this is in the help section of torres's calculator. maybe make the box 3 cubic feet.

    If you need more help with enclosures, then have a search around or ask some people on here, we're all glad to help :)

    define "nice box"

    a friend and i built his with just normal wood and caulked the cracks and put that foam shit in there (can't think of the name)

    is there a special way i should make it then?

    correct amount of cubic feet, good sized port, nice tuning frequency. Made out of MDF, no leaks (caulked well, like your other box) mostly tuning and size though, thats what people mean by "nice box"

    idk if the box is to specs

    i was just going to buy the box with my subs and amp and all that

    so im assuming it is?

    and a buddy was saying something about i would need to put another battery in if i put two 15's in?

    don't buy pre fab boxes, they are terrible, build a nice box :)

    You don't have to buy batteries, you can upgrade alternators etc, but you don't need to, it's better if you do though.

  9. RCA Problems..

    you can either bend the tape it, bend it, or spend money on new RCAs.

    What do you mean they don't fit in, will they not go all the way in? If not, then try you might need to get new RCAs. since it goes in the other sockets though it must be a problem with the deck. The reason it doesn't work on the other one is because it is a input for the H/U and you need to use the output (which it doesn't fit into)

    EDIT: swap the RCAs around so the end in the amp is in the H/U and see if the other end will fit in the amp or not.

  14. tweeters distorting after new radio

    my car got broken into and they took my radio . so i put in a jvc kd-hdr20 headunit and now my front speakers distort whenever the volume is turned up

    i have a kicker component set in front that will distort when volume is turned up but when i put the fader to the rear speakers those play fine and clear

    i double checked all the wiring and connections to the front speakers now i dnt kno wat to do

    jus wondering what else i should check and look at b4 i go and buy another set of speakers

    It could be the head units amp distorting. What does it have to be turned up to for it to distort? If not, your fronts can't handle it. upgrade time!
