[pioneer avhp4200 AS IS COND. 90$]

what would need to be fixed to get this working?

[amp is messing up...]

i got everything all fixed. my remot wire was shorting out at one spot in it. then the next day my amp started doing it again, i found that the ground i had was constantly shorting for some reason and had melted and corroded the wire really bad, grabbed another wire re-did my ground do a more secure location and hopefully it doesnt happen again

thanks guys, foud the solution, took all my wires out completely, re-routed and wired everything and changed ground and changed speaker wire and remote wire. i believe it was a messed up remote. idk why my remote randomly stopped but thanks!

[amp protection mode blinks once]

okay i dont belive it is the amp anymore, i borrowed my friends amp, whose is working and it did the same exact thing, my subwoofers just thump...

[amp is messing up...]

thats what i was thinking, i just dont know how anything would of blow, it was working perfectly, unhooked it for 2 days then twent to hook it back up and it starting doing that.

[amp is messing up...]

so i think the rca inputs on my amp have fried, i unhooked my amp last week to pull my box out and paint it and when i got back to wiring it back up as soon as it sees power my subwoofers just start thumping. i have a cresendo bc2k and 2 skar vvx12s, i have replaced the rcas twice since this still does it, i have changed the grounds 3 times, idk what else to test, the left rca input look a little messed up on the amp today i noticed. when i looking into it the black piece that separates the ground and the positive on the amp was not there so i pull that face of my amp off and saw that it had somehow been pushed back so i pushed it back into the input where it belongs, didnt help anything, anyone have any tips/suggestions ? thanks

You aren't selling anything

[Help me build my first sound system.]

check out craigslist for some equiptment, you can sometimes find steals there, otherwise pick you up a single skar audio 12 or and SA-12 those will be louder than two boss subs, grab a decent amp, perhaps the one you already picked, remember wire is not cheap either knukonceptz has good cheap wire tho.

[Help me build my first sound system.]

ill just let you know boss audio (and anything from walmart) pretty much sucks... ive used a boss sub before it was terrible. you can build a budget system for a decent price with better equipment than that.

[Suggest an Amp for me please!!]

i am running a crescendo bc2k at 1 ohm on stock electrical with big 3 and i havent gone under 13 volts... i will be getting some better batteries soon tho and new subs to run it at .5 ohms, crescendo makes awesome amps for a great price you should check them out.

That doesn't look like mdf to me. I wasent knocking your build bro but that looks like particial board not mdf. Cause mdf is not made with flakes of wood. Mdf is a realy fine saw dust like material. Particial board will not handle sound pressure like mdf will. But it is cheaper but there's is a reason its cheaper than mdf. But from what I see in the pics you got your self a particial board box mot mdf. Its hard to realy tell the thickness from the picks but it don't look like 3/4 but more like 5/8 maybe

well according to the signs at lowes its 3/4th inch mdf, maybe it looks wierd in the pics

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

awesome, ill be putting up pics when i build it, may be about a week or so!

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

alright got that done and this is what i got, thanks alot for the help

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

you should prolly put 3 for the common port wall if it uses 3 walls. and i highly suggest using double baffle.

will do, thanks alot

hows this

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

12-16 for slot port. my skar 10s like alot of port. mine is tuned to around 33 and they play down to 25hz no problem get low as hell. make sure you make the box real strong also.

thanks alot, jw about how wide should my port be?

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

port area per foot you just totally ignored lol. should be around 8-12 with a round port.

okay thanks i am just now learning, what should it be with a slot port?

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

this is what i got with the box calculator for dimensions, i may be wrong just let me know

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

I would give them 2ft each and tune to 32-34hz...port in center all firing forward...seal it off from the trunk...I ran 2 15s back in the day sealed box sealed forward from trunk in a 94 cavalier and hit a 148.4 that was before fold down seats...LOL

haha nice man! so 2ft per sub, 4 total, or 2ft for 2 together, so 2 total? and what 15s did you have and what amps? jw

[box ideas and help skar/crescendo]

So 4" port that's 6 inches long is practically NO port area per foot. And what's tuning frequency is what 50 Hz? I'm not sure those current type R's are sounding very appropriate at all.

maybe, this is the first box i have built and its before i even started researching on this site and learning. the calculator i used said that it was tuned to 32 hz, i don tthink they sound bad tho, they hit pretty hard and sound better than anyone system ive heard around here, but people around here also have zero knowledge...
