  1. Are you saying that you can feel the bass less when you turn it up higher and higher? IDK what it's called, but at 10-20 I can feel the bass a little, then I turn it up and I have to almost max out the head unit to really feel the bump.. there is like a space in between...idk
  2. Personally, I would just buy a head unit for cheap on CL (just enough to get proper RCA outs and possibly USB input) I mean, $20-$50 is not much if you think about it. A line out converter is how much? Money that you could put towards a head unit..... Best buy/frys and others do financing as well...which makes it a lot cheaper. Alternatively, you can just hook up an mp3 player directly to the amps...this only works if you have both amps near each other and you have highs and lows on amps, otherwise, I don't see the point of putting just the sub on it...
  3. Thinking about getting this. Anyone use it/have it? $150 at walmart, $170 at best buy (both claim normally $250+)
  4. san ho he says he's "from Tennessee and moved to cali not by choice" in decapitation with x-raided http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhZGtQefyQs
  5. Well, actually I just moved to IL from cali...haha Smoov e IS from Tennessee though...
  6. It's pretty simple really You just have to open the entire thing up (just like a car to install speakers/run wire)
  7. I can't find it anywhere Lyrics go: Keep grinding finding doin my thang I'm a turf talk nigga go beats go savvage right there janny auto, mark and hannage (lol this sounds stupid but I can't remember the exact words) damn as I tucked up when I go savvage cause nigga you cabbage like colonel sanders see him over there, with the, stunna glasses high as a laugh you ass blast ..nigga I kick yo ass I do that, hammer tuck rocks I do that its all turf shit boy thought yall knew that know I skipped some parts cause I can't remember them very well.
  8. This makes me appreciate Dr. Dre's old stuff, which I am going to be bumping in honor of when he made good music.
  9. don't mean to hijack the thread but quick question: I have an oldschool mtx thunder 5000 8ohm 250w rms 10" sub. Could I run it on an amp that is 4 ohms or 2 ohms?
  10. car amp. and when i say cheapest i mean if its 10$ then great. lowest i have found was 40 dollar lightning audio. Now that's just garbage. Don't waste that $40 when you can put that towards something better.
  11. If you live near frys, go for crunch I had it pushing a db1212 box + sub and it did well. BOSS AUDIO CW2000M $70, 1000w rms 2 ohms 500w rms 4 ohms http://www.frys.com/product/6438982 Crunch GPV1000.2 500w rms @ 4ohms bridged $100 http://www.frys.com/product/5987114?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG That's about it. Decent wattage too, 500w RMS. My sub/amp is 500w and it hits pretty hard.
  12. OK so I analyzed beamer benz or bentley It hits 29hz and then peaks at 46hz Can anyone explain this? my box is supposedly tuned to 30hz, which would be a reasonable explanation for it being one of the hardest hitting songs I have played. but I'm at a loss for the 46hz part. Uploaded with SMD picture up-loader 2.0
  13. I didn't run the power wire, the guys at the shop did. I still don't know how to fish the power wire. Well the battery is on the passenger side. so that's why I want to move the power wire over and not the RCA's. 17 feet of 8awg is ok for 500w right? or should I get 4awg? I think the amp takes 4awg. and if it doesn't, I have a 4 to 8 distributor
  14. I wanted the idiots at the shop to run the power wire under the car but they insisted on running next to the RCA's which I already ran myself. How would I find the right place on the passenger side for the power wire? Anyone done it before on a 96-ish jimmy/sonoma? There is a small hole on the floor that leads to some white material which seems hard to fish anything through.
  15. Thanks I will definitely mess around with that. Yesterday I managed to boost the bass on some songs and took clipping out as well. Now I'm going to remove clipping from all the songs that I'm going to play loud
  16. 1. how much will it run me to get extra, for example, 50 feet 2. how much would it cost to get exact what I need (10-20 feet)
  17. it's definitely not pinching. I ran all the wires myself and watched the idiots at the shop run the power wire. It's either getting interference from the RCA/power or the ground sucks
  18. What if he was charged for punching babies, would you still not care?
  19. Hmm I might get that. what's the cheapest one I can get that isn't complete garbage? $50 is about what I would like to pay, maybe $60... good luck trying to find one for that price. and an O-Scope is the only true way to tune your system to know whether you are clipping or not. 12/14 on your phone volume doesn't matter, your head unit will clip after a certain volume level on it, even if your phone is only 12/14.. Just because you don't hear distortion, doesn't mean you're not clipping. Well the only way to tell is to get an oscope :\ The EQ on the head unit? It only has presets as far as I know. It's at flat, always has been. It's the only one that has decent treble and doesn't boost the bass ridiculously I've already set my amp gains and they are right where I want them. The idiots at the shop had them turned way too high and it was overpowering the highs. Nobody read that the phone is at 12/14?? Doesn't that count for something? If I turn the phone to 13 or 14 it DOES distort the highs. Anyways, toot it and boot it WAS clipping. I opened it up with audacity and it hit the red - btw, does it stay red the whole song if it clipped once? Would it be ok to just walk away, come back in 3 minutes when the song is finished playing and find the red marker there still, indicating the song has clipped at one point or another? And where can I get an oscilloscope, what does it do, how much are they and how do I use it? im pretty sure flat is a preset but since you said your treble is +5/+7 i assume that changes the flat preset, flat the way i understand sets everything to 0, which is where you want it to set your gains someone confirm or deny, im noob so probably shoudlnt give advice, lol Yeah but I turned the bass down to -7 so the highs don't distort...
  20. What if he was the car audio thief king? would you still not care?
