Hell yea that odyssey was beatin, still can't get over the thought of having sounds in a minivan tho lmao...

should be back now photobucket like erased the first pic for some reason but i just reuploaded it...

the sundown one? *edit* hmm what the hell its not showing anymore! lemme see if i can fix it

just installed the ABP lol I didn't really care about the ads but it is kinda nice with em gone

way to make me feel lesser lmao jk

lold when I saw this "sundown" ad

just asked my engineering teacher if I could come in during the weekend and use the o-scope and he said I could TAKE IT and use it for the weekend! :twirl: :twirl: :twirl: :twirl: :jump: :jump:

good luck man...btw try using the quote and multiquote feature it works wonders

Thanks a lot man! I'm gonna watch this when I get home my business technology teachers already flippin a shit because I've been on SMD for the last hour lmao

doesn't mean you necessarily have to replace the radio, but understand that the power that a head unit supplies to speakers is very little and most the time even lower than the rms... amping your speakers would be much better it should sound like night and day and if you replace the stock speakers with some new ones unless you haven't already you should be very satisfied...

yea I'm gonna see if I can't get him to let me swing by Saturday and use it..I spent half the class period messing with it lol I stripped a little bit off both channels of some headphones and hooked em up to my iphone...question...Can I tun my amp with it with the subs disconnected so I don't have a blaring tone shaking the place?

Found this in the other room while I was in my engineering class I was just in.spent about 40 minutes playin with it! Hopefully my teacher will let me use it to tune my amp, hes pretty cool so I think he will

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bbFvzTbaO7T/learn/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html That page will show you all you need to know about wiring them...as for the radio if your running your interior speakers off of it it may have been going into protect mode from you pushing the h/u past it's limits...And no you don't need a capacitor unless you want to waste your money

I actually didn't upgrade that wire yet...Before my setup I JUST put in I had one that only put out around 1000w at max so my voltage never dropped that bad but I believe there is a grommet if you take out the glovebox and look in there against the firewall

I have an 07 charger and I know the wire from the battery to alt is split off but it is a pretty good size wire I wanna say like a 2/0? But either way your right a second run would most likely benefit

Yea of course with my luck I still have a couple of leaky spots but I'm gonna fix em tomorrow they're not that bad and not even close to how bad it was before I sealed it..... And I lost about 1-2 tnuts on each sub when I removed the subs they fell out

just pulled my subs out and put the weather stripping underneath of them..........it was freakin HELL took my about an hour and a lot of sweat...

yea its fucked up...but no reason it should be moved to the 18+ forum theres plenty of kids under 18 who drive that SHOULD see this...

lol ok sweet thanks for the help man

Your assumption is correct in that it would be the same as saying you set sub amp with 0dB that 0dB songs would "play the best" There's no specific "method" that works because every song is different and recorded at different levels. Learn what distortion sounds like, learn what clipped kick drums sound like, and finally learn how clipping bass changes the mids/highs so you can pick out the unwanted sounds. Using WMP Oscope helps visual clipping while your ears listen to it, its a good training tool. I suggest to purposely clip tracks using the WMP graphic equalizer...boost 31/62hz +6 to +12dB so you can hear what happens when songs are clipped badly. I've stated all effects I use in the "teach me about audacity" thread in this section. Bigpimpn/Autruche(?) added in info in addition to what I posted. Alright cool I'll deff check out that thread and so I've been playin around with wmp for a little bit here I'm using the scope and got the equalizer open should i be setting every frequency to my desired db e.g -6db? No. Im suggesting to ruin the song while its playing to see what it looks like so you do not "edit" songs that are terrible candidates to start. You cannot get all of your songs to be at -6dB, not possible. When setting gains you use a tone that is the average of the music you play. Plenty of times songs straight from a CD will be louder than -6dB resulting in a bit of clipping, which every single one of us does everyday. Even if you set gains with 0dB you can still play a terribly clipped song and the amp will produce the amplified clipped signal. 0dB is the safest setting but you compromise the loudness because very few songs are at 0dB all the time. Most songs are between -10dB and -5dB. ahh gotcha ok last question lol I see in the equalizer when you adjust one frequency it automatically moved the ones next to it is it supposed to be like that? and also so if I have a song that has clipping in it is there a way to "un-clip" the lower frequencies my subs would play in wmp? there are three options on the far left under turn on/turn off. pic the top option so you can individually move each. no, you cannot remove clipping, you can lower the amplitude but it will be the same waveform. okay so basically alls I can do is get music that is unclipped in the first place basically and check the music I already have to see what is unclipped do you have an explanation or any good links for how to look at an o-scope and see clipping?
