redwolf2 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Not sure if this has been posted before but I got a good kick out of it all. http://www.ebay.com/gds/Car-Audio-Info-Tricks-Hints-Secrets-To-Great-Sound-/10000000000140144/g.html Anyone else have any know-it-all stories that someone took the time to make an article about? Just thought I'd share that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwolf2 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 To save you some time.... General idea of it is - I had a stereo system that reached up to 154db. That would have been almost equaled to standing next to a jet engine, and that is no joke. - I could have gone louder, but did not want to risk blowing windows out of my car and having to replace them with Plexi Glass - Running a clean 1000 Watts from my Punch Amp to my Subs, and 800 Watts from a Kenwood Amp to my MB Quart and Boston Mids and Highs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorfish88 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Newyork197, you know enough to be dangous, cause you don't know shit. Just popping off random stuff here and there. Sounds like you at one time had a regular run of the mill mide to late 90's system, and picked up some of the basics. BUT somehow think that makes you an expert. 60 amp fuse 154db not gonna happen. Never use 8ohms speakers luz. Ports are tuned, you don't just stick 3inch pvc pipe cut to 5 inches and call it a port. LULZ I'm done with this I could go on and on. I typed up this reply, but I don't have facebook. Sucks I didn't realize that sooner.fml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmet Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I was running a Punch Amp (to full capacity), a Kenwood Amp (at mid capacity), 4 12 inch Bazooka Woofers in a custom box, Kenwood tweeters, and Boston and MB Quart Mids and Tweeters also. I had 2 guage wire with a 60 Amp Fuse under the hood, and a nice distribution block and cap in the back. I am one for clean, crisp, clear sound with absolutely no distortion. I can't deal with that distortion crap, not at all. I was raised to not allow it, and I will not let it be in any of my vehicles today. 6. Get a Lightning Cap for your stereo system if it is over 200 total watts. Add up the total wattage of your Amps, and get a cap that is rated for higher than the total watts of your system. This will prevent you from having to buy an alternator for your vehicle in less than a year. A $150 Cap is better than a $150-$250 alternator and $30 an hour labor charge every year. 9. As for speaker placement. If you have a hatchback, place your box with subwoofers facing up towards the glass. That way you will het another 4db (which is a pretty large amount) gain, because the glass acts like a bandpass enclosure. i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people. I was gifted with an innate ability to distribute wholesale ass beatings in a timely and orderly fashion.

Maebros Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 $150 Cap is better than a $200-$250 alt EVERY YEAR....... Here's a crazy thought though how about you buy a $400 H/O alt ONCE and then you only have to pay for it ( you guessed it) ONCE. Oh shit that makes too much logical sense. I should probably not say things like this on the internet.

Miguels Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Chuck Holmes the whole setup is GHETTO. even through the crappy video recorder you can hear the distortion. i'd never install anything bigger than 12's. it's just too sloppy. I was spondored by MTX and I had 30 10's and hit 171.00 in the extreme class. they wouldn't put me in any lower classes because the amps were custom made by MTX to put out about 4500 watts each (10 amps total) my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
