Supercharged DCs

You say y'all have been talking. Is that just over the Internet/phone, or have yall actually been together? Do you have a life built up in Ohio, and is there family and friends there? How do you believe the kid would feel about the move?

I believe one of the woofers on the DC website has an area for SD, but I cannot remember which one. Give me a second and I'll check. It's the Lv3 10 that is incorrect. I'd go with the given manufacturers SD. Using the formula he gave, you are correct in saying it comes out to only 103 inches. But that formula is for finding the area of a flat, 2 dimensional circle. A subwoofer isn't flat, it dips in... So that seems like it would be the reason that the SD is 494. Idk I sucked in geometry lol

Sounds like a fair trade to me.

I'm a noob lol so here I shoot my questions. What is a DMM(Digital multi meter) I believe that's right. But I don't know how to use one. I have no clue what a oscope is or a DD-1. This amp only has a gain and a LPF button lol. Well I have 1/0 wire running for the amp but I think the amp only accepts 4 gauge. I have the ground on where my spare tire sits. So I don't know if its safe or not. I need to learn how to do the big 3 cause I have no clue how to do it. I have no idea what AGM means. Reputable I am guessing is a amp that can transfer the signal to another? Thanks for your help. A DMM is a Digital Multi Meter. It's very simple to use, and if you plan to continue in this hobby its a great tool to have. Oscope is a shortened version of oscilloscope. The DD-1 is a Distortion Detecter than Tony D'Amore and Steve Meade have just released. It detects distortion, and clipping causes distortion. So it basically detects clipping as well. I believe that is how it works. What brand 1/0 wire? Have you tested the resistance of your ground connection? Yes, definitely learn how to do it. It's incredibly simple. AGM is Absorbant Glass Mat, a type of battery. By reputable, I mean an amplifier that is proven to do rated power. Maybe reputable isn't the word I was looking for lol.

Take a DMM and measure the resistance of the subwoofers coils. Subtract the resistance from the leads of the DMM and you will find out what impedance the subwoofers are. Your gain should be set according to the input voltage from the headunit. You will need to use a oscope or DD-1 to ensure you are not clipping. LPF should be set between 60-Eighty hertz, Subsonic should be set 5hz below box tuning, so roughly 30hz. Run the largest wire that your amplifier will accept. Make sure the ground is good. Your electrical system is only as strong as it's weakest link. If possible, ground directly to the battery. You need to order some 1/0awg wire and upgrade your big 3. It is very simple and takes no time at all. Your not ready to run 4000wrms, so build your way up to it. Get a nice AGM battery or two, and purchase a reputable 1k-2kw amplifier. Work your way up to more power as you gain more experience and knowledge. There is no rush, you have all the time in the world

Can you get a motor shot please?

Kk.

Cleared a few, hit me up bro.

I know my opinion probably doesn't matter, but I'd like to see the 9k, if you do add another later on. A 9k per pair of Lv5s would slam lol...

Pictures? Sounds to be either a 1012 or 1512. How are your gains set?

I'd like to see the 4 Lv4 18 build! Can't imagine that in a PT Cruiser I don't see a Lv5 18 being louder than 4 Lv4 18s, but I'm retarded so idk. But if you want a Lv5 18 hmu.

Mi gusta!

Noticed as well, their bright yellow ad caught my eye. Hope to see a section for them here soon

Lol, reminds me of the gold paint speaker guy.

Yeah Murph, I might have to call you soon, I've been seeing y'all great deals on FB lol

Thank you for posting that link, I had not thought of searching eBay lol. Seems the CVR is indeed the best bang for your buck

Nice, seems them SA-15s are doing you well. I'm getting out of car audio for a bit, have to get my priorities straight lol. Think it's time to start saving for college. BassJunkie, I believe so as well. $170 for two is pretty damn good, and I'm sure my friends would like them as they loved my CVR setup, even though I hated it lol.

My cheap ass friends all want a little bass in their ride, and have asked me to find them a reliable woofer that's also affordable. Can anyone make some recommendations for a decent subwoofer for $75 or under? Thanks! I'm looking at Audiosavings right now lol

please just stop. you obviously have NO idea what you're talking about. Do this guy a favor and just stop recommending him stuff. /rant. Agreed, I laughed at every suggestion he's made.

Two Lv5 18s

You'll always want louder. The disease will infect you like it has us, and you will be dropping thousands of dollars on car audio, only to be satisfied temporarily lol

I'm never loud enough, but that's because I suck at car audio. That being said, I rebuild every chance I get. On my 4th right now.

I saw a substantial increase in both my charging voltage (rose from 13.6 to 13.9) and a more constant voltage under load by grounding directly to my battery versus the seat belt bolt I was using before that... So I'd suggest grounding to the battery

Looks pretty old

That's the fucking sexiest piece of steel I've ever seen...
