What is Your Favorite Car Audio Tip or Trick?


Recommended Posts

if you need to run a thin wire through firewall or dash then straighten a metal hanger, then tape the wire to the hanger and run it through that way.

Or buy a grommet tool? hehe

yeah, obviously if you dont have one.. hehe obviously.

homemade tweeter savers

a standard car dome light in line with your tweeters positive terminal. It acts like a resistor that changes impedance as it gets hot and starts to glow. When the impedance rises, it causes the amp to put out less power, keeping the tweeter in check. If you push it too hard still, the bulb will pop and NOT the tweeter. Get a new bulb, set your gains better, and you are back in business. click here for an example. http://instagram.com/p/bzLpBJEt1w/

low power 4 channel amp install in a car with rear deck speakers. jump the wires on the harness. you just need to run wires from the amp to the rear deck speakers and the leads that are now for the front speakers.

using a small piece of electrical tape to wrap around a drill bit to create a drill stop at any depth.

if nothing changes, nothing changes

I do it for securing the inside gap of aeroports in boxes or to supports.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Soldering all connection! Crimping as little as possible. Needless to say its a much stronger and more connective connection that won't come apart due to vibrations.

You guys at sonic are awesome, I always shop there. Keep up the good work!

Also proper gauge wire for application, using ofc not CCA, proper fusing, sanding paint off grounds and then covering it with a conductive lubricant so it doesnt rust. All I can think of for now
