what did you do?

what's the cheapest one I can get that isn't complete garbage? $50 is about what I would like to pay, maybe $60...

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?

Like I said it's stable and if I notice it clipping I do turn it down. But that rarely happens with the phone at 12/14, which is why I do it, so it's like having the head unit at 30-35. And would like to add again that the sub is turned down pretty good and the speakers are 40w and 50w rms each and only getting 20w rms if that. But what do I do in audacity? yeah the little waves are cool but that doesn't tell me anything... What options do I go to?

Going to attempt to fix electrical interference with the amp. I'm thinking it's the RCA's ran next to the power wire. So I can either run the RCA's on the passenger side (easy to do, I know how to do it, for the most part) Or find another hole on the passenger side for the power wire (which will give me about 5-8 more feet of wire) The only problem I had with that was I was not able to figure out how to run the power wire down the passenger side. does anyone know? There IS a hole but it seems very hard to get to as it's got the firewall stuff right next to it, making it nearly impossible to push anything through, and I can't seem to see anything if I put my head under the hood, or under the car. Also, would the remote wire cause any interference? I only notice anything when I hit the brakes, at which point, the amp cuts out for a second but even with the brakes on it will kick back on and stays on (while driving) and if I look at the sub, it flexes and bottoms out when I hit the brakes, even with the lights out and engine running. I figured it's either the big 3 (lack of it) or the power wire/remote ran next to the RCA, and since I want to do the easiest first, decided to try the power/RCA first.

toot it and boot it hits the hardest so far. My settings are: gain a little above half punch eq off completely ported box built to spec of sub tuned to 30hz phone @ 12/14 volume through 3.5mm bass on head unit all the way down (-7/-7) treble +5/+7 no sub control on head unit I turn the head unit to 40/40 and it's always stable. Anyways, toot it and boot it hits the hardest, second is beamer benz or bentley and third is like a g6 Do these songs have close to 30hz in the bass line? Is there a program or something I can use to analyze that myself? Possible to boost it on songs that don't hit that hard? Any ideas/suggestions or anything else very welcomed by anyone wondering the same or w/e

Best thing to do would be to build a tiny micro atx or something and put it in the center console.

Not unless the amps need exactly 12v each. You need to trace your wires. And don't split wires. Split the remote from the head unit and then run wires to each amp. Don't do it ghetto, because stuff like this happens.

who cares? 4x4's are too be lifted with widened wheel bases. 2 wheel drives are to be lowered

22's might make the car too high wouldn't they? cars look funny raised..

I've never heard of a car falling apart. the only thing you might have to worry about is rust. You can find old mustangs easily. Probably in good condition look on craigslist

not sure if this is techno but it's def electronic PPK - resurection http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipE9QFiWhzQ edward maya - stereo love - there are several versions, each only slightly different.JoBabe - I Kissed A Girl (JAKAZiD Remix) pretty rave girl la rissa - I do both jay and jane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHTGnFT96Ew Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 Hixxy and Mc Storm - Just Accept It (several versions, 2 good ones that I know of) - my fav version ATB - it's a fine day (not sure of remix) Gigi D'agostino - ill fly with you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50wzBKyQ7lI dj liquid - I can't stop raving dune - hardcore vibes hypertrophy - beautiful day (several versions of the song though, with a different hook etc)

yeah but cutting a wire to fit in the amp is kinda ghetto, that's all I'm saying. and with distributors being so cheap, and add the fact that you would need less of the more expensive stuff and it looks better? seems worth it to me.

Why not run less of the expensive stuff and use a distributor block to branch into the cheaper wire? I mean $5-$50 for a distributor is not much. It will make the system a lot better and it won't be ghetto like you plan on doing it. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT http://picclick.com/Amazon/Electronics-Computers-Photo/Accessories-Supplies/Car-Electronics-Accessories/Amplifier-Installation/Power-Distribution-Components/

won't more wattage make up for the shallow mounts lack of correct box space?

buy a used one and restore it?

Is it possible to deepen the bass or tune the bass line to the tuning of a box? Song I want right now is "its only love" by barry white

Is there a way to see what frequency the bass hits on songs? like a bass frequency analyzer or something? I was playing toot it and boot it and it's the loudest song I've played yet. second is beamer benz or bentley and like a g6 would be great to understand why box should be tuned to 30hz if the guy did it right but I don't really understand what that means

If you like the quality of something you hear, you can always record with audacity.

My jimmy idles at 2k instead of 1k...I just realized this 2 days ago. It's about 20C out. Something about more air getting in = better performance or the engine trying to heat itself up? idk going to be watching the amp though from now on, thanks for this thread

Where can I get 1/0 wire the cheapest?

I've only got 500w rms, do I really need to do the big 3? The lights dim a little bit, but not much... I plan to get a 40x2 amp on the dash 2ways but that's probably going to be it.

Do you want to play video from the head unit or from the mac? For the head unit, you can either lookup the info on the head unit or just convert to every video file possible and try each one, which is what I did.

I know it's girly but def hurricane bacardi mixers and x-rated I don't enjoy hard liquor or strong drinks that you have to chase and almost make you gag when you drink them I was amazed the first time I had hurricane. I just poored it in some ice and it went down like cool aid. 5 minutes later was the best buzz I had ever gotten.

^ yep. u might try grounding the rcas from the hu too... How do I do that? I'm only using the one sub pre out and the I split into 2 at the end for the amp
