Man, I haven't been on this site in a minute. Forgot how pleasant it is to watch a nice quality build like this come together. The box is really looking damn nice. The angles and everything flow perfectly with the RZR. Really impressive (I'd expect nothing less though, eh?)

A regular RCA to XLR adapter won't do anything. Both the shield and one of the conductors in the XLR are connected to the ground of the RCA, so it's besically the same as RCA just with a different connector. If you actually want a balanced signal, you'd need something to actively convert it. I don't know much about this, but after some quick research I came across a couple things. Google "balun transformers" and "jensen transformers." Hopefully that helps. Also, I'm curious what amp it is you got... car audio?

Yeah only PC. They give you the codes to redeem it on steam.

Don't know how many of you already know about this, but thought I'd let you all know anyway. You can get 6 games for only a dollar, or 7 games if you pay $5.71 (this number is slowly rising, because it's the average "donation"). I only got it for Metro and Saints Row, so no idea if the other games are any good. But even if you only like just one of those games, still worth it no doubt. http://www.humblebundle.com/ Edit: These are only for PC, and windows only.

You're right about all that, but he never said anything about music. You can't really accurately test voltage on music. When someone says they get a certain voltage with a certain track, you'd assume they used the same track to test voltage as they did to set it.

AC Voltage I understand that lol. I'm pretty sure the distortion point should be at about the same output regardless of which track you use. Wrong, if you play a -5db track and turn the gain up half way to reach distortion light then put -10 track on you will have to turn the gain up higher to reach the same distortion light. More gain is gonna be more Voltage. No, that's not how it works. The -10db track is gonna produce a little more than half the voltage of the -5db. Then you adjust the gain back up to the distortion point, and it'll be back up to about the same voltage.

When I said it has a nice crossover, I just meant it's versatile. I can't speak for the quality of it or the amp itself. Other than the ones listed above, I can only think of 2 amps that allow you to bandpass with the on board filters (those being DC and Zed). And if you look at the picture of the side where the x-over controls are, you'll see that it says freqx1 for when the button is not pressed, and freqx10 for when it is pressed. So basically, your high pass can be anything from 20 to 4000hz, and your low pass anywhere from 50 to 5000hz. I'm curious though... If I'm looking at the correct amp (http://www.sonicelec...wer-P900.4.html), it's only 230 bucks. Any reason you'd go with the NVX over the Precision Power?

The NVX has a nice active crossover on it. I think that's the main reason he linked it. It'd be sort of a waste to get that amp and run passive. And to answer your question above, it has a 10x multiplier for the crossover. So you can cross your tweeters at up to 4khz.

Have you tried free studio? http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-AVI-Video-Converter.htm It says it'll convert .mts files, but I dunno about acvhd. When you're ready to convert it, at the bottom, either select original quality, or full hd.

AC Voltage I understand that lol. I'm pretty sure the distortion point should be at about the same output regardless of which track you use.

I'm confused. How do you get 28V with the -5db and then 40V with -10db?

Weird. Works for me too, but http://www.isup.me/ says it's down.

lol at the end... she's probably using her phone to record the video

I agree with aerickson here. After you remove the fuse, you really have nothing to worry about (as long as you're only messing with the amp). Easiest way to do it, and as long as you know wtf you're doing, shouldn't present any hazards. I wouldn't stress about doing it the "proper" way. Just be smart about it and you'll be good. With multiple batteries, the "proper" way could honestly be unreasonable. Not to mention it'll reset the memory on your H/U and other devices.

I'd honestly just buy a sheet of 3/4. Save the 1/2" for speaker rings or something, you'll find a use for it some day. Unless, like n8 said, you have enough to double up.

Do I have this right? You connected the dmm lead directly to each side of the fuse holder and got different readings?

The hv is for high voltage output (high power output), input voltage doesn't matter.

Lowest he can go is 1.5 ohms, I believe they only come in dual 6's. And I think he meant .5 ohms more than the minimum of 1 ohm. Not actually wiring to .5 ohms. Peak has nothing to do with clipping. Peak power is just the power the sub can handle for a short instance of time. Usually the peak output from an amp will be about 1.4 times the RMS power. And that's not only when clipping, that's at every high and low point on the sine wave.

Going higher than the amp's rated impedance will not cause a problem. But do you have the electrical to run approximately 3k?

I believe it's because of the regulated power supply, which attempts to always keep power output the same.

To keep power output the same, the amp has to compensate by pulling more amps, which, like he ^^^ said, creates heat. At least that's my understanding of it.

2 15" woofers. Would leave no room for port at top, and only about 4" on the side (with subs arranged in a square).

Whut. I mean don't get me wrong, I love me some Wiz, but if I cared about lyrics I definitely wouldn't be listening to him, or much of any rap for that matter. But Smokin On (Snoop and Wiz) is probably my favorite so far, that or On My Level.
