Hey, i have a Clarion Max675VD double din dvd player with the ipod video cable for it hooked up. My issue is that there is a large amount of static that comes from the speakers only when i'm listening from my ipod (static noise increases as i increase volume on my deck). When i play cd's or the...

you think the pidgen here is bad? go read forumshawaii.net. their pidgen is almost unintelligible and i wouldn't be surprised if a large percentage of them actually spoke like that...haha

will it be alright if you set your gains with bass boost on? would this prevent clipping and damage to the sub and still sound good? I ask because i have a bass control knob for my jl 500/1 and unfortunately it works by increasing/decreasing bass boost. thx.

Hey, i just picked up a JL Audio RBC-1 bass remote knob for my jl 500/1 amp. http://sonicelectronix.com/item_4400_JL+Audio+RBC-1.html but after reading up on it more it states that it increases/decreases the bass boost instead of turning the gains up or down. knob to all the way to the left is...

on the 300/2 amp there's a freq range option that toggles between x1 and x10. but someone else already said to put it to x1. but thx for the comment and the compliment I know it's not professional top of the line stuff but it should be good enough for me. also thx 1,000,000 Nauc for all the info

Hi, I just got my Rainbow SLC 265 Kick component speakers in the mail. They're so beautiful and i can't wait to have them installed . First - The Rainbow kickbass components are going to be powered by a JL 300/2 amp. The manual for the speakers specifically states the...

I'm running my Mb Quart QSD 216 at -6db on the crossover and -2 on the hu for treble....Still too harsh! haha so i just put in my order for Rainbow SLC 256 Kicks. Can't wait

I own MB Quart QSD 216's and I hate them. not that they're not good speakers, they're clear and loud but extremely harsh to my ears. perhaps if you place them in the kick panels away from your ears they are fine, but if located in the sail panel like they are in mine, even with my -6db setting...

Hey, i'm just about to put in my order for a custom CDT ef-61cfi/25 tweeter set with upgraded xover. My car is a nissan 350z and i will be powering the front components with a jl 300/2 amp whereas the rear CDT ef-61neox coaxials will be run off my aftermarket HU power. Before my speakers...

Thx for the help everyone, as per your advice i will take my car in to be tuned professionally. This task is beyond the skill of a novice person like me . Shouldn't be that bad only $35 an hour and i can't see it taking longer than 1 hour.

The tweets are mounted in the sail panel of the door, right at the top of the door. and the mids are down on the bottom of the door. Would lowering the tweeter db level on the crossover produce a different sound from merely lowering the treble on the deck? this is what i do not understand...

IC if this is the case then perhaps I would personally be better off installing 2 way coaxial speakers in the door panels instead of the component set up? And if i do this then would the coaxial speakers benefit from my amp as well or would the HU power be enough? Also could you explain why all...

Yes, I've lowered the treble for the tweeters so they're a little softer. and raised the settings for the midbass. But all i get from the midbass is a muddled sort of sound. sounds all right for hip hop and slow ballads, but anything with instruments like alternative and classical it's a just...

Both are installed in stock locations and the doors have not been deadened. I'm also running a e-2150 amp. I don't have answers to the other questions cause I have to look in my car and it's almost 4 am here right now.. but main question is can i be able to hear clean, clear highs coming from...

Hi, I recently upgraded my front stage to MB quart QSD-216 2 way component speakers amped by a jl 300/2. I am a complete noob and bought components cause EVERYONE says they are the best type of speaker. All the stock stereo setups I've heard in any car is that ALL the speakers play highs like...
