  3. Possibly needing a new amp

    in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!

    what i dont understand about planning on future builds... is it about building on your current build? cuz if not it really doesnt make sense to plan a build that is gonna make you change everything you currently have. lol

    what i mean by future builds.. if you plan on adding a 2nd sub. or adding 4 more subs.. whatever that case may be or upgrading your dc lvl 3 to lets say a dc lvl 5.. ok so you would end up going from 600 watts to max 4000 per sub.. big changes mean more money spent. if you're on a budget get something you don't want to regret doing later. IE buy aq750 then have to buy another one for a 2nd sub when you could already have a aq1200 for the price of a brand new aq750. i think 200 is a fair price...for the aq1200

    no, thank you Speedball. anything helps im new to car audio but im really interested. ha... so im just trying to learn as much as i can... this might not be right, but i thought that if the DC is in a bigger box with the right port, it'll play more lows, and vise versa, if its in a smaller box, with the right port, it'll play more highs? is that generally right or am i way off on that? :/

    generally that is what most noobs think. and sometimes it is the case, but not for everyone. smaller boxes require more power than a bigger box, but the bigger box will be more effecient and play lower notes because of it's ability to use a bigger port. It just depends on what kind of music you listen to and what your goal is

    but by then he'll spent more money than what he could get for a aq1200, he can always trade up the d2 for a d4...ever think about that?? he's on a budget, so he should decide what he plans on for future builds...

    brand new aq750 199

    brand new aq1200 269...

    so aq750 now is 199 plus another sub(dc sub) plus another aq750 for another 200... hmmm lets do the math... lol just saying..

    no your trunk is perfectly fine and if you build the box just right you will have plenty for 2 12's and with the aq1200, it will do just what you want it to do... a sub box for 2 12s is about 2.5 to 3.0 cu ft total the jl's i know require smaller boxes they're designed to get loud in small enclosures..but not in big.. DC on the other hand can get loud in both small and large. just though i would throw my 2 cents in...

  11. HP wants to exit PC business

    i lived down the street from them for years... i used to work there when it was compaq, and saw the changes they made, now its a college campus for lonestar college... and there's still many empty buildings there... but HP still owns most of the property... they're just leasing it to Lonestar until the buildings are fully occupied by them. Sucks to see them shutdown a part of history down, I even own a HP computer myself.

  14. XS Power D1400

    in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)

    you need to get an alternator that can charge your d1400 at the correct rate, otherwise your battery is only charging at about 2 volts lower than it should... i needs to be around 15 to 16.5 volts but it also you need to check specs on the amp if it can handle 15 to 16 volts there are alot of scenarios.. the d1400 is a 14 v battery, you should have gone with the d1200

  17. wtb single din touch screen

    i know specially since u cant see me!, but yea looking for basic features cd player, kinda really we usually use iphones and ipods, so something that plays ipod at least better if plays iphone and charges it but for price will settle, as for subs i dont think anything bigger than shallow mount will fit very limited room in ram 1500s under seats. i will consider subs for wifeys car let me know what you got

    i do have an alpine single din dvd touch screen and its used.. wouldn't know if that would be his brand he wants..?

  23. Port length? Where to cut?

    flanges won't change the sound, it will probably change your tune...just use the flange on one end to mount to the box but here's a little secret, flare up the opposite ends using a torch or heat gun.. using a metal bowl and wala you'll have aero ports lol

    I might be able to do that, maybe boil the pipe and try shoving a bowl or something inside of it to flare it out. Does 2 4inch diameter ports at about 9.5inches sound sufficient for a good box at 4.77 ft^3?

    according to what info i'm getting from you, you're going to be tuned at 32 hz but you don't have enough port area.. you're going to hear alot of port noise and the box will sound like crap

    my suggestion would be going with 4 4inch, or 1 8 inch pvc to gain enough port area in your setup
