yup i got it for 30 bucks and its only a replacement until i can afford a nice mono amp but will prolly also find some nice 10" subs that sound good in a .58cu/ft per chamber box because the subs i have now are some kind of rockford fosgate sub no motor cover so i have no idea what the specs are

its a lanzar amp

i dont know how to tell if the amp puts out what it sais i wana say no because its a cheapo lanzar amp and i just hooked my subs up to a multimeter and the thing reads 1ohm .... i have a old rockford p1 i didnt think they made them 1ohm svc ...

i have an amp that is 400x2 at 4ohms 800x1 at 2 ohms could i just wire the 2 150WRMS 2ohm vc subs to run at 4ohms on one channel ?

thank you for the encouragement :-) its always the technical stuff that gets at me :-( jsut trying to learn how to do things the correct way starting with my own car to find out what ohm the VC is and then try to find the correct rated amp for them and be able to set it correctly ... the speakers i got didnt have a motor cover on them so there is no writing to tell me anything all i knwo is that its a rockford fosgate p1 150WRMS 300PEAK dont knwo the VC tho

i am good at installing and hooking things up i lack the technical skills and trouble shooting skills right now i have just started to learn this stuff for about a week now. i have built multiple boxes installed multiple HU installed speakers for friends who already had the equipments, i just lack the technical stuff ... still trying to learn it.

where do i put the little probe things, on the vc ?

ok thanks and another question ... how can you use a dmm to find the ohm of your voice coil ?

is that bad for a speaker or does MECP recommend a tool because they are strictly by the book and safety nuts ?

i was reading my MECP study guide and i came across a section that says to use a polarity test tool to check speaker polarity and that it is much safer than trying to "pop" speakers with a battery... what does that mean to "pop" a speaker with a battery ?

My girlfriend complains that i spend more time on SMD forum than i do with her .... FUCK THAT !!!

can you PLEASE tell me what songs are playing ?? those sound like AMAZING system tune/check songs and they sounds sweet

is it wrong that i noticed the DC sub on the bed before the girl :-/ :-D what size is that sub ?

where can one acquire this stuff ? and that why i wana do it to learn :-) cant learn unless trial by fire

i do not have a stock location i will be making a baffle at the bottom of the A-pillar for one i want to learn this stuff and want to learn how to make these cotom baffles i see on doors and such so i thought i would start small and also i have all low ish speakers and 2 tweeters so i think the 3 inch will do good for the whats left ... mainly i want to learn how to do that and i will start small.

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/diyma-build-logs/69600-2010-fusion-sq-installation-thread-3.html like what this guy did to his a-pillar what is that cloth and liquid stuff that he used ?

ok now does anyone know how to make a speaker holder thing ( dont know what they are called lol ) i know how to make the frame with the front mounting rings and the little wood legs for fitting but what do i use to cover it to make it a closed speaker enclosure ?? i see people use this cloth stuff then some rosin ... what is that stuff ?

i have a build in high pass on the radio that i would use but i have it off right now because i have only speakers going from amp and they are set to 125 HPF so if i set the radio to 125 that would take the bass out of the fronts so i should be ok ... this is going to be my first fiber glassing project or how ever i would do this

box on radio said 50x4 thats prolly max power tho

guess for now im going to stick with the 2 10s maybe when i get more money i can do a full build and make the 10s for midbass and get 2 12s later on idk

well i could do that but my car is a 1992 mercury Capri .. look it up ... TINY TINY TINY and i would port the 10s but i am tight on space with 2 .58 Cu/Ft chambers and RF recommends 1.5 Cu/Ft ported so i don't have the room for that. what would be a good way to get some lows ??? could i possibly run a 4channel amp the sealed of 2 channels and the one ported off 2 channels ?? so they could both have there own X-over and gain control ?

i built the box and i did not want a ported box because i had both a ported and sealed on them and i liked the sealed ... i made the box myself... i have the 10s and 6x9 all in one in the back seat does not have room to make a ported box for the 10s they recommend 1.5 CU/f ported .58 sealed ... my trunk has 2 levels that i made when i took the spare out and i would have room for a 12 in the bottom of trunk where batteries are that is why i want to put a 12 there because no room for the 2 10s in a ported box. and sealed box means not the best for lows so a 12 would compensate Note: I do not buy prefabbed shit when i can spend half that to make one thats better :-)

ok so right now i have 2 10" P1s in a sealed box and i want to add a single 12" ported P1 to get a little bit lower because the sealed 10s hit REALLY good but not the real lows ... what would be a good amp to run them and would a ported 12 hit good lows ??

i was looking at these kicker ds350 that are rated 15 watt RMS 30 watt max going to put them at the bottom of the A pillar ... i have a pioneer HU thta pushes 50wattsx4 is that a good speaker ? and could i just hook that up to the HU and it would be loud ?
