[Car Audio - What to major in in college?]

Well depending on what part of the car audio...I'm planning to major electrical engineering and minor industrial engineering...hope to work for a place like sundown or something and design subs and amp that are more efficient than what they are now. But ya for a shop i would guess business and accounting...

Agree I'm doing electrical Engineering with a concentration in auto, and minor in mechanical. But I wouldn't say u need a business degree, but definitely have business classes

[Distribution block question]

You honestly think its necessary that i run all 6 wires directly to my battery... idk if i have room for that many terminals, haha.

Not to mention wire is expensive... haha

Does that mean i will need a separate fuse for each amp?

What size fuses should i use?

And yeahhh... i do tend to ask allot of questions, but thats how you learn, right? haha

Run your 1/0g from your front battery to a back battery and then from that battery run your 1/0 and 8g wire to your amps

[if this would be a okay amp to run at a fi btl 15 fully loaded]

hi i am thinking about buying a Power Acoustik OVN1-5500D 3200 rms at one ohm. let me kno if u think this would be a good buy for it, its only $300

Look on-line you can get RF T1500-1bd's for like $500, get one for each coil, or just buy a RF T2500-1bd. That's what I'm leaning towards.

[Why am i getting different results?]

then fuck that re calc. it's comming off my favs list. This seems so much more accurate

What is the name of this Calculator, and where can i find it at?

[Totally stumped... No bump?]

I re-did the ground with a shorter piece of 4awg with a ring terminal and no change. still same issue.

I checked the ohm rating coming out of the subs and both sets of wires said 3.0 ohms??? That doesn't sound right..

First off take the subs out of the box, re-check to make sure the subs are dual 2ohm or dual 4ohm. next measure resistance of each coil by itself, and then again connected together at the sub, then check resistance of the wire by itself. Get back to me with these numbers and I can help you walk through your problems. You might have to small of wire running your subs adn the way you have them wired might be a high ohm load, and not 2homs like you think. Higher ohm load= Less watts output

[Introduce Yourself]

Hey I'm Brandon, I've been in the audio scene for about 7 years now, ever since I turned 16 and got my license. I have had all types of subs, and amps. Currently my build is 3 Alpine 15" Type R's in separate T-Line Boxes, currently I only have two in. And I'm gonna be using RF to power the subs, right now I have a t1500-1bd for the first pair of 15"s, and I have a p1000-1bd for the single 15", this is all until i get 2 more t1500-1bd. And my highs are 2 sets of Hifonics Zeus ZXi6.5C Components, powered by a Hifonics HFi100.4 amp. I will be adding 2 more sets and having them all hooked to that amp. I'm gonna wall it all off in hope it will make it louder, and definitely add to the look.

Check out my videos, and subscribe and rate so you can keep up on my build.

[$250 budget for 4 speakers.]

dont ever buy from dealercost FYI

I'm looking at picking up 2 sets of these right now, and down the road two more. They are only like $60 a pair and a buddy had two sets in his ride adn they were loud and clear.
