  1. So I have a 2015 Honda Accord LX model with a stock stereo. I installed a 12 inch sub in a custom box with a 2000 watt mono block. I was setting my gains using a multimeter and when I played a 30 hz test tone I noticed a substantialy less value in voltage than with a 40 hz test tone. I've done my research and found out the signal from my rear speaker wire I spliced into and sent through my LOC is not a full range signal. I've read countless forums of people suggesting to Install an aftermarket head unit but I want to keep my factory one because the price to install a kit in this vehicle is almost $800. So my question is what are my other options in sending a full range signal to my subwoofer so It can play those really low 20-30hz tones. It's a 12 inch sub in a box tuned to 28 hz so It ***** not being able to get the full bass range sent to it. Thanks for any pointers I appreciate it!
  2. I'll keep this short since I don't want to be wasting anyone's time. But after attempting the design of a 6th order where I could have the ports come up through the rear deck of my 98' accord coupe. I've realised that I've just become too short on time in my daily life to worry about constructing an enclosure. (back story) However, I've noticed that most prefabbed enclosures out there are rated at 1ohm and always have too high of a watt rms. I have plans to install a high output alternator in my accord this thursday, taking it from a measly 80amp to the one from an odyssey from the same generation which outputs 132 amps (I dont use a lot of features like heated seats and defrost which come equipped with the car so maybe that should save some amperage in the system). Because even right now. My system which consists of a set of CT Sounds Meso Components in the front (75rms@4ohm x 2). With my pioneer headunit. And a Dayton Audio max-x10" (350rms@4ohmx1). Being ran off of a Pioneer GM-DX975. Is too taxing for the system, as I find myself from one second hearing no sound, to it then blasting after I've cranked it up while low. (question at hand) With the new Alternator. I think this should allow me to run a system up to about 1000w without having any voltage issues. I've already upgraded the group 24 battery to a group 34 lead acid (before I heard about AGM's). So subtracting the components which take a maximum of 150wrms. That leave me with 750-800wrms for a prefab sub enclosure. I also intend to run the subs off of a Pioneer GM-D9701 (500w@4ohms, 800w@2ohms, 1200w@1ohm) If anyone has any suggests. That would be greatly appreciated. Options I've considered have been the Skar SDR-1X18D2, and CT Sounds TROPO-2X10D4 (however this one demands 1300w). I prioritize SQ/SQL over SPL as I dont typically find myself enjoying "one hit wonders". But if someone suggests "buy these subwoofers, wire them like x, and put them in this prefab" I would be very open to that aswell. Sorry for asking, I just figured I should ask the experts before scraping the idea as a whole.
  3. I plan to purchase some Sundown Audio equipment within the next 2 or 3 days, and I would like some suggestions on where to purchase it. No "brick and mortar" dealers near me, woofers etc. is not an option, 800 woofers is not an option, SSA is looking like my only option, so how is their shipping, customer service? I don't want to order from somewhere that has a ton of old stock, but don't want to wait 2 or 3 weeks for a build either. I have read mixed reviews on SSA's shipping times, but only from one side of course. Any other options other that the ones mentioned? Also would LOVE a coupon code, or forum member discount maybe?! Input appreciated!
  4. im in the process of building a ported box housing 2 15" kicker comps. goin in the back of my s10 ext cab. goin 7 cubes @ 33hz. and im stumped. this will be my first box build so i need ideas on designing this. so far this is what ive got, box width: 41 box height: 24 box depth top and bottom : 18 wood thickness: 0.75 square port height 22.5 square port width 4.3 square port L1 12.95 square port L2 12.95 total port lenght 32.4 square port diameter 11.09 square port area 96.75 box vol. (ft3) 6.662 tuned freq: 31.7 id like to be able to have the port firing forward on the passenger side and subs firing up. but this calculator im using isnt givin me any option but to fire both either up or forward together. what i need to know is how the inside should look or how to direct my air to the port ass efficiently as possible. and is my port to big for these subs. if so please give me any advice you can. thanks
  5. Whats up everyone, i'm new here and I'm really getting into car audio. Right now I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado that I threw 2 shallow P3 12's in. I really want something louder. I'm not quite ready to do a blow through, so I want my first build to be 4 Sundown SA-8's underneath the rear seat, facing the front. I want two 4" ports, one on each side. I'm extremely new to box building, but I learn very fast. I have a few questions, and I would also really appreciate some pointers & tips. Question #1: Since I want 4 subs with a port on each side of the box, am I going to need to put a center divider in the center of the box, so that I create two chambers, each with two subs and a 4" port? Question #2: The SA-8's recommended box volume is .5-.75 cu. ft. so should I simply take .5 and times it by four, giving me a 2 cu. ft. box volume for the 4 subs? That's all the questions I can think of...for now. Any tips or other help is GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks, Mike
  6. so i have recently(2 hours ago) bought a fi ssd 10 dual 1 ohm - running at 1000 rms and a MB Quart ONX1.1000D - running at 1000 rms at 1 ohm the car i have is a 2001 toyota echo so now i need to figure out if i should build a box or use the bassworx ported enclosure that came with my Kicker C104 (150 rms) ***may i add i dont know how big the box is.. and i dont have a tape measure handy at this point*** the fi ssd 10 Ported box: .6-1.2 cuft @ 33Hz kicker 1.25 - 1.75 cubic feet ( doesnt say at what frequency) any help would be wonderful and a side question capacitor or battery??? ill probably need one or the other...
  7. wanting to get some input on these subs hifonics brz15d4 want to put 4 of these in my suv but before i buy want some in put thanks
  8. i have 4 mofo 15s, i would like to pull some decent numbers and keep it an every day driver. the box will be 22.86 cubic ft, 220 in. port area, tuned to 35 hz. all will be double thick 3/4 in mdf, with bolt bracing. subs and port up port. port by back window or up front? will it work correctly with the subs i have? love to hear your input. new to this big of a set up.
  9. Looking at putting 2 15" Rockford p3's in my car, my trunk space is limited, I'm thinking about going with this simple design with some cheap pvc ports to the side, it should sound fine I would think since the trunk is a pretty sealed enclosure itself, but I was thinking of having the subs facing upward w/ ports facing the rear, any input would be helpful, any ideas? Thanks My trunk space: H-17", W-37", D~40" [or] H-14", W-46", D~40" (lower height would squeeze under the trunk levers or w/e they are called...) Here's a possible design: Box: H-17", W-36", D-22" (tuned @ 28hz w/ port length of 4"x14")
  10. please read the for sale section rules.
  11. if i have a skar skv2 - 4500.1 WITH A 450 AMP FUSE RATING and it has two power inputs but im using dual inputs on each power input (2 1/0 to 1/0 reducer) what size fuse do i use on each power wire?
  12. Well guys, we're back with our second annual Sub Olympics! This is very different than the first time around. The response so far has been mostly positive but I wanted to put all the events up here and get some feedback for next time. Personally, I wanted to do some things differently this year but we were under a lot of time constraints. Let me know what you guys think!

  16. Hi, I recently purchased and installed my first sub system: Kenwood 9105D Mono-Amp @ 1800w max / 900 rms(2ohm) Dual Kenwood 12" w3013ps subs (bridged @ 2 ohms, 450rms per sub(400rms-1200w peak)) w/ 34-300 freq. response, recommended ported enclosure @ 2 cft tuned to 34hz 4 Gage power wires, 12 gage speaker wire, gold plated terminals etc Got most of it on sale, cost about $350 for everything from sonic electronix and crutchfield. The subs are in a Sound Ordnance dual 12 inch ported enclosure @ 1.63 cft per chamber, tuned at 33hz The subs sound too high pitched of bass, it's LOUD and shakes most of the car, it just doesn't sound quite right, I believe it has to do with the enclosure size and bad box tuning but I wanted to make sure, that's why I'm asking here. So my question is this, is the bass problem the size of the box, the tuning, or the high freq. response of the subs? or a mix of some of these. Right now the subs don't play below 40hz very well which I'm sure is because of the tuning and size of the box. I'm more than willing to build a box for these but I'm not sure if it's worth it if the subs still wont touch anything below 34hz, I see a lot of people here with boxes tuned to 30hz or less and I'm wondering if I should tune that low even though my response is only 34hz. Should I just buy new subs? Most of my music doesn't hit lower than 34hz but still, I want some ground pouding bass every once in a while, can't really afford anything much bigger right now with my financial situation. Any info would be helpful I'm just looking to soak up some data since I'm a beginner, a lot of the topics here are very helpful. Thanks!

  19. Hello. I have Carrozzeria bandpass subwoofer 25cm twin-drive TS-WX2500. that has positive and negative terminals on both sides, and both sides are interconnected, when i connect single side to my amp Kenwood av surround amplifier KA-V6000, one woofer has more excursion than other, do i need another amplifier or there is something wrong connecting those cable to subwoofer. plz help
  20. Ok so i have seen many different answers on this and I am wondering on what is the correct answer. so my head unit is a pioneer FHX-520ui now on the head unit there is a bass Level, not bass boost but bass level it goes from -24 to + 6 its default setting is 0 when i am DD-1 tuning my set up should i set this at 0 or+ 6 or somewhere in between, i'm assuming this is Gain from the rca outputs, and if it does not matter what are the beniffits of tuning at 0 or +6 i just want to tune it for the best possible output, what i am currently running is in my signature as well, I also plan on upgrading to an AVH deck with 4v pream outputs because i feel like i can get better bass response out of these subs.
  21. How are the Sundown Zv5 12 and the CT Sounds EXO 12 similar & how are they different? The T/S parameters are a bit confusing to me, still learning. Looking to upgrade from my current setup, 2 older CT Sounds Meso 12s
  22. I am looking into purchasing two 15inch speakers. The manufacture is "Ultimate" model is PW1550. The speakers were originally made in the nineties. I was mainly wondering, for 300watts, is the 50oz magnet good enough? The xmax is .5inches...... Is fifty dollars worth it?

These go under the massive center channel and 10' tall line array mains. He's known for going overboard, but the moment someone says he'll never use what he has to its potential.....they find out he aint skeered! Cool if ya dig it.
