Requests for advice/help from Meade (me :P)


Recommended Posts

hey, im a total n00b when it comes to car audio...like you would not believe.  i drive a '97 Isuzu Rodeo with a pioneer head unit, stock 4 inchers up front, and recently purchased and installed a pair of Earthquake F4X6Rs in the stock ceiling pods out back.  in my set up, the f4x6rs suck, any suggestions?

maybe some info on EQ products would help.  im also considering putting a 10" Kicker Comp sub with a 500W pioneer amp, and a pair of pioneer 4 inchers for the front.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

JB

i would suggest the kicker ks series i have those in my car they sound good,clear and clean

hey Steve, I'm a new member on SMD. Just got a quick question, what kind of flip out(single din) touch screen would you recommend, I cant fit a double in my car so a single's the best i can do. Any advice would be appreciated! Also what 2000 watt amp would you recommend. I'm running two pioneer champion series pro 12's off a kicker zx1000.1 and i know they want more power. thanks!

i would go with a pioneer or alpine flip out

can you please help me with something. i have a 2000 chev. S-10 extended cab. I am down to either FI 12Q or the FI 12BL. if they were in identical ported enclosures what would be the difference in sound and output. if the bl is louder than the q, how much louder in db's. thank you for your time.

thank you

that would depend on how you build your box. size,wood used,and if ported or sealed and how many watts you run and how big your car is like when i had my crx i had 2 12 kicker solo x and a 2500 watt amp the box i had was loud and it had 4 ports i did a 148.8 on spl but when i got 3 12 solo x and 3 2500 watt amp i did a 150.2 but the box was bigger the 4 ports where on the right side and i used a different wood Edited by teamjeffrey

sup guys, SkittleZ again...

I have a nissan sentra (2006)...

got 2x 12inch Kicker L5's being pushed by a 2000watt amp, and an AudioKick cap.

The system hits harder then anything around here, but I want to hit hard...so I got a 3300watt Rockford amp, and 760 Pioneer amp.

Yet, I'm have some trouble makin room for them, and for the batteries...which brings me to my question

how do I hook up the extra batteries so it's pretty safe, and won't cause a short or fire.

I'm trying to find bigger alternator for the rig. Havin trouble with that.

I want to run the 760 for the mids and highs, but the 3300, and 2000 for the lows.

I do plan in the future gettin at least 2 more Kickers. But room is limited like I said, so it'll be awhile for them.

what i did when i had my crx was what i did was ran amp wires at the end i put a ring terminal on the wire then another ring terminal on the other wire then put the battery terminal through the two ring terminal's. you keep on doing that for every battery you put in the back. which for battery's i would recommend xstatic batcap or xs power battery's here a pic of what i mean DSC00281.jpg

hey steve. i have a truck and was wondering if you have seen anyone take the center console out and build an enclosure..i was wondering if a 12" BTL would work in that case...or if it would be better to have 2 bucket seats in the back and be able to build an enclosure in the middle with a BTL, would that work? or be enough space? i know i can do a blow through. but was wondering if theres any other routes to take..thanks

as you all can see my site and this forum have REALLY REALLY grown in the last 2 months.  I notice alot of people want to ask me stuff directly.  I just want to let you guys know its very hard to keep up and dont take it personal if i miss something you asked me.  Its not that your being ignored, sometimes with so many threads/responses i just cant catch them all before they get buried.........even if the topic starts with my name in it!

Anyway i try my best to keep up but im sorta busy...i may even read the post and be to lazy to respond right away and then eventually forget about it even though i meant to respond.  Sometimez a brotha just wants to go thru the posts but dont feel like typing so please dont take it personal....if its something REAL important then keep buggin me ill get to ya eventually!
