  1. ^^^^^^^^idk what that has to do with anything but all my equipment is brand new and purchased off ebay. kicker, rockford, knu.. not cheap gear at all. and the box is not prefab i got it from a buddy that had a local shop build it. but honestly unless it is ME building the box i dont trust peoples "tuning" ability lmao, but thanks for the help bros

    so basically i should build another box and maybe tune one side of it higher than the other? i was really just curious.. i have 4 sets of t2652 comp sets on my MIDBSS but i really meant just set one subs a little higher than the other so that one sub hits the high more "vibrating" type bass and the other hit the low notes that make your heart drop.

    but i guess that does sound complicating ill just stick to what i know ahah

  2. current setup

    2 PA 5.25 in front doors. swapping for rf t252s comp set

    2 sony 6.5 in rear deck, swapping for rf t652s comp set

    kicker l7 12 in ported box, building box for 2 12s ported into cabin through back seat..

    2 gauge power and grounds

    orion 2400 amp.. sapping for rf power series undecided on which amp or amps.. also and getting a t400.4 for my comp sets

    STOCK HEAD UNIT, just ordered a pioneer deh7400hd..

    i have 2 orion2400s and 2 l712s at the moment.. the box i had for 2 l7s didnt fit so i just bought a single ported one at pawn shop for $40

    all my mids and highs are ran off the stock headunit and sound like shit when i adjust the bass knob high on headunit due to me having the subwoofers connected via one of those converters.. so basically im gonna start out with throwing a new head unit in. building a box for 2 12's ported via removable rear seat.. the box is going to be around 5.1FT3.. cant decide whether i should throw some RE 12s in there or FI... cannot find an FI dealer online anywhere. upgrading my 2 gauge to dual runs of knu kca 1/0 and throwing 2 batteries in the back.. so here is my ROUGH draft on what im starting this weekend.. any input if re sex12s would sound good in this? there specs say to tune them at around 33.. once again this is a rough draft i still gotta tweak some stuff to make sure 2 12's will even fit in this box lmfao.. so heres just some pics for will definetly keep updates on new equipment i get and all that good stuff.. with pics of course ;)

    no the big 3 has not been done.. plan on using my 1/0 black KCA for that once i get it.

    i really wish i could fit a double din but its a single din dash :(

    rough draft

    • 50ft KNU KCA 1/0 in black for power
    • 50ft KNU KARMA 12g speaker wire for comp sets
    • 10ft KNU OFC 8g for sub speaker wire
    • 20ft remote wire(had to add it lol)
    • 2 pair 2CHANNEL KARMA rcas
    • 5 KNU FUSE HOLDERS WITH 200A OR SO FUSES
    • 2 BATTERIES STILL UNDECIDED AS WELL

    LOWS

    • 2 RE SEX12S.. HAVENT 100% DECIDED SO OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS THAT WOULD SAVE MONEY.

    AMPS

    • RF T400.4 for mids and high

    HIGHS/MIDS

    • RF T252S comp set for front range

    cant decide on to run active or just run passive with the crossovers the setups come with. any input?

    any input on other subs other than the RE SEX12s? cheaper/better suggestions?

  3. For power or signal distribution I'm not entirely sure if it matters much more than preventing corrosion and aesthetics. Gold, nickel, and platinum plated surfaces will all resist corrosion and tarnishing much better than a copper or aluminum piece would on its own. This is why you'll often see gold-plated RCA's or HDMI cables. Realistically, I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference what type of plating you choose other than the look and the price. Nickel and platinum will be similar. Gold's obviously gonna stand out if you want it to. Gold will provide the best electrical conductivity of any metal besides copper or silver so it would hypothetically be best for RCA's.

    Soldering opens up a whole can of worms on plated parts. What would you be looking to solder? Generally something is soldered and then plated. If you solder an already-plated piece the heat of the solder gun could melt the thin metal plating or the reaction of the plating with the lead and tin in solder can possibly compromise the bond of the metals.

    so basically if i get gold plated knu 1/0 terminal rings the solder will fuck up the prettyness? lmao ill just go with nickel plated i guess?

    wouldnt use a solder gun id use a torch for this since its 1/0

  4. can he just run his tweets on high pass on amp, and run the passive crossovers that came with them?. and run the 6.5s on the mid amp on full pass with the crossover it comes with.. only thing is youd have to somehow find 2 other crossovers that came with the components and i dont know if rockford sells them by themself. but if you run them on the same amp you can simply use the passive that it comes with..\

    CORRECT? or would an active setup work better? can you run active and passive at the same time with no problems?.. id figure it would work better at eliminating hatever freq. you dont want.
