As a mod, shouldn't you know that pics have to be posted in f/s threads?

Any way you guys can put a .rar file with MP3 files instead of .wav? I got a new h/u and it doesn't have a CD player so i put the tracks on a flash drive and I have to convert them all cause my h/u wont read .wav

Im looking at Knukonceptz Krystal Cables. It would run about $50 on eBay for all 6 channels

Well I guess another question is, i had two 12W7's wired to 1.5 ohms and they didn't do much unless sub level or bass boost was up. But then I put my buddys 12" Directed SX Wired to 1 ohm in my car and they hit wayyyyyyy harder. Does that .5 ohm really make that much of a difference? I already know I need to upgrade my amp (I have heard it plenty of times) its a power acoustik BAMF 4000/1d with HC1400 and cap. ^^^ 1.5 ohms... 12W7's were only made in 3 ohm SVC along with anything smaller, 13.5W7's were made with 1.5 ohm DVC. UPDATE: I just sold the 12W7's and bought a pair of MTX 9500 4 ohm DVC and wired them to 1 ohm parallel. I bought them off of a guy on craigslist so I was sure to check them with a voltmeter first. But I also wanted to hook them up to see how they sounded and he wanted to hear them again. Well since I was having the troubles with the H/U I was just going to turn the bass boost up a little just to hear them... Well... I had just gotten into the menu on the radio then all of a sudden it seemed like I got the power back that I had with my old H/U. I had brought a friend with me and he was on the passenger side where the RCA's were ran so im wondering if maybe its a bad set of RCA's and he just stepped on the kick panel the right way or something lol. I honestly have no idea what could have caused it but I think its time to invest in some new RCA's lol. Any suggestions for good shielded brands? Not lookin to spend $20 per cable. I know streetwires are pretty solid but are also a bit pricey.

this was my 1st guess too but i read the owners manual and it does say 4v pre outs. but i did see the word "maximum" in there... hmm. either way he needs to re-tune the amp. I will try testing the output voltage when I get a chance. I saw there were instructions pinned on the H/U page so I will take a look at those!

On the box of the MVH it says that it has 4V pre-outs, and the owners manual says it has 4v Max Preout Output Level

I would think that Pioneer wouldn't falsely advertise their products, but, if that is the case what does the voltage at the rca outputs affect? I just thought it meant its a stronger/better signal through the rca's?

I will double check but they should be!

Didnt expect it to sound exactly the same but I figured they woulda been somewhat close. But I will try to put the DD-1 on it soon

Sub level is at 0. As far as EQ I know that the 40 Hz and 80 Hz settings are at -1. The EQ only affects front and rear correct?

Yup, it has Low, Mid, and High settings, I have it on high which is where it was on my old radio cause it makes the interior speakers sound much better

Help please!

I recently switched from a Pioneer DEH-P4000UB (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/DEH-P4000UB) to a Pioneer MVH-P8200BT (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/DVD-Receivers/MVH-P8200BT). I adjusted the settings and EQ's to almost exactly what my old radio had, yet I feel like I get hardly any bass unless I have the Bass Boost or Sub Level turned up where I didn't need that with the old radio. I know they both have 4V RCA pre-outs but im not sure about their internal amperage, if anything I would think the MVH would have a bigger internal amp. I'm not familiar with what can change between different h/u's so i'm kinda lost as to what it could be. I am just familiarizing myself with the differences in the pre-out voltages but these are the same so I wouldn't think that would affect it.

Yeah that makes sense now that I think about it

Okay thanks for the input guys. Like I said it was just an idea

So basically if you took a standard 4 ohm resistor and hooked it up it would fry because of the amount of current?

I believe it's capacitors as bass blockers. Your sub is basically a resistor

I was thinking abou this the other day and was wondering if you have let's say a 4 ohm SVC sub like a 9500 or something, could you take a 4 ohm resistor, wire it in parallel, and make the ohm load 2? Or is it not possible since resistors aren't polarized?

Thats why I ask... To get help

Was looking into buying one of these off of someone for $200 locally but now that im reading about it, it says that 0 gauge is recommended, problem is I only have 4 gauge and dont plan on having this car forever so I really dont wanna do 0 gauge if I dont have to. Can you still run this amp on 4 gauge? I'm getting like 12.5 volts with a Kinetik HC1200 hooked up in the back too.

The video is only 7:03 long....wrong video? The first part of my post was referring to the video you posted. The second video goes with the second part of my post.

I posted this video a couple weeks ago. He shows in the video how to do rounded edges. It starts around 9:18 or so. I wanna know how to make the box have layers, get the carpet looking right, and find out where I can find some W7's to import like how this guy does with his Type R's. He makes a really nice box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB6hV0-4rc4

Already bought it, thanks though

What gauge did you get? 14ga, it's pretty good wire too Okay I'll look into that, thank you
