I know better than to run that amp and subs with a stock alt and battery with 4 gauge wire. Don't worry about that. I'm not a complete idiot haha. You didn't seem to know that in the first post. And it's more likely 2200W, seeing as the type X's are dual 4 ohm... Unless it's wired to 1 ohm bridged, then we have bigger problems.

if you tap into the positive (which I wouldn't do) you have to put it on a switch to make sure your amps don't stay on all the time. Run the relay from your remote line on the headunit. I mean for the positive for the relay. The relay itself is a switch, that's the whole point. The 12V+ here is what I was referring to It might not be a good idea though, but I thought I read you can do that somewhere... Trying to find where.

The lowest you'll find is about 20 amps and that's more than enough. IIRC each amplifier only uses about .2 or .3 amps. And you can just tap into the positive input on your amp I believe.

There's nothing wrong with using wikipedia for information and gathering your thoughts. You just shouldn't use it as a SOURCE in your essay/project, as it doesn't add credibility. On topic: This. It would be like trying to take our guns away for some people lol.

Car looks pretty nice. You do any racing in it? (legally I hope) As for the system... I think it'd sound a lot better with a single box for all the subs. If your goal is loudness, maybe 3 subs in a ported box in the back seat area... depends on what you can fit. It's never a good idea to mix/match enclosures OR the amount of power going to each sub. This makes me sad. More likely because of the small cabin area. I'd estimate you have about the same amount of area in your car, so it shouldn't be too hard getting as loud, though I imagine it's hard trying to work around that cage to get a box in there.

Poor jeep. I think either will be nice, though I've never been a fan of satin.

ok i made the port the height of the front and here is the new tuning sheet, how does this one look? # of common port walls: 3 (I think). Tuning goes down to 33.16

I'm honestly not experience enough to say, but I do know that some songs have nice effects with left/right channels, and I've also never seen a build in which somebody doesn't keep the two channels separate. By the way, what car is this for?

They will receive the same power either way. And it *would* work like that, but do you really want left and right speakers playing from one channel? I'd say either one per channel or bump it up to two per channel

I would say the 8s, only because 12s are too common.

I emailed them about that a while back. Dunno why they haven't added the specs to the web page yet... Anyway they told me they were 4 ohms, rated for 50W RMS

I posted this earlier, but apparently it didn't work.... I know this sounds stupid, but did you check that the fan on the video card was spinning? When I built my first computer the connector for the fan was loose and it overheated and shut off or went into protect, and the monitor got no signal.

Those look pretty nice, but you know, $400 plus shipping for those monsters, plus an amp If you're going for quality, it might be a good idea to buy some speakers and build your own enclosures. Plus it would be a fun learning experience.

Used is always a good option, especially if it's something that's more or less "temporary." In fact I went to a Good Will yesterday to check it out. I was surprised to find about 3-4 complete 5.1 systems, a couple receivers, and some seemingly good quality bookshelf speakers.

Yeah, you'll probably want a better sub then for your music, doesn't really hit 20hz. But really any powered sub, amp, and pair of bookshelf type speakers should be alright. Just make sure the powered sub and the amp are compatible (if the sub doesn't have high level input/output, you'll need an amp that has pre amp outs.)

In that case, I would say the one skullz linked looks pretty nice. If you're looking for "bigger" speakers, that are more geared towards home theater, you could try something like this: Amp Speakers Powered Sub I actually own that subwoofer, and It's not great for music, but it does add some bass, and sounds nice for movies, and presumably games.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for, but here are some 2.1 systems. Also, what is this going to be used for? Music/movies/games? My knowledge doesn't really exceed more than searching for speakers on newegg, but maybe someone else can help you, especially if you want to build your own (would be a cool project.)

As far as the speaker selector, that's almost as much as the whole 2.1 system is gonna cost! And besides, I don't want to switch over to 2-channel mode, and have my PC speakers be in the corners of my room. Need em a bit closer to my desk.

And to stavo, the receivers only have 1 channel of output for the subwoofer. And I'm also now concerned about the feedback thing, but thanks for the help.

It does make a lot of sense, and thanks for the help. Neither of the receivers has terminals for the sub. Now what I'm thinking is just to use some kind of RCA switch/selector, because of the feedback thing. (Can anyone recommend one that might work?) Or until I find a switch thing, just leave whatever I don't want/need bass for unplugged, and plug the other in. But would splitters be necessary? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the signals from left/right just get combined later within the amp?

Basically like that. The pinkish lines are the single channel sub outputs. Would that work, or could I run into problems with that?

Why two different receivers you might ask? Well I want a 2.1 for my PC and 5.1 for my TV, movies, etc. I know some might say to just hook up my PC to the 5.1 receiver, but I really don't like the sound of music or games on surround. I really prefer stereo for my PC. And the reason I don't want a regular 2.1 computer speaker system is that the only ones I've seen don't get low enough for me (usually frequency response goes down to 40 Hz.) Unless someone can recommend one that gets down into the 20's. SO, this is the subwoofer amplifier I intend to get. Now, both the 2.1 receiver and the 5.1 receiver have single channel RCA out for the subwoofer. And the sub amp has 2 inputs (left and right.) So can I just hook up one RCA to the left and the other RCA to the right channel of the amplifier? Is it as simple as that, or do I need to rethink my strategy? Could that cause any problems, other than not sounding so well if I try to play some music while watching Inception (which I would probably never do anyway)?

Alright cool. Well the CPU is just in a plastic case inside the box it came in. I don't know if it's anti-static or not. But I will be getting one of those wrist straps just to be sure I'm always grounded. The only part of the house that is not carpeted is the kitchen and bathroom, and neither is suitable for building a PC. Should I lay something down on the carpet to stand on (plastic tarp, cardboard?)

I'll be building my first computer some time next week, and I know pretty much everything I need to do. However my friend just told me that unboxing the components (specifically the CPU) creates a static charge on them, and that I should touch a corner pin on the CPU with a screwdriver to get rid of it. He also said to do the same with the memory. I've never heard of this before, and can't find any articles or any information whatsoever that can back this up. Anyone know if there's some truth to this? Should I try it just in case or might that cause more damage anyway? Seems like the processor would mention that in the instructions if that were true.

I know it's only $50 more, but that's $50 I'd rather spend on something else, and I don't plan on upgrading subs any time soon, so 750W is good enough for me. Plus I don't know what a clamp meter is, nor would I know how to use one.
