i put a 80prs in the ghetto blaster burb. and im biased to hate all headunits anyways .... but during first few testings with it the face plate literly fell off at full tilt ( multiple times ) i installed the factory keepers on the unit to at least keep it from falling off - but now the...

take a trip to your local thrift store / salvation army / and some pawn shops - they have cds for stupid cheap and its always a hunt to see what you can find. me personaly i check for cds and tapes as i have a boom box collection as well even found a rtr tape once for .50$ my most prized tape...

i feel the same way sometimes with my system - and yes to the guy who said check crossover settings on the amps and headunits - if your using 12db on the amp an using 12db on the headunit - then that slope is now 24db cut per octave wich is realley steep and could be causing unwanted stuff. for...

i have a ddm3a and a atomic 5k for sale on some other site - was going to post them here but im lazy. lmk if you have any intrest in either - there are pictures of them burried in my build log here lol...

im in the south FL heat and i enjoy the heck out of my singer gm large case 320amp hairpin. puts out 220 at engine idle - tested with heat applied on the bench also for a more realistic result

one thing about clipping indicator - it only tells you when the amp is beyond its capability of producing a clean signal - it however will not tell you if your playing a dirty clipped signal from your headunit - or recorded music source. so if your playing a song from a cd you burned from...

spark plug wires are verry fickle - they are sensitive to corosion and trace voltage bleed out. good electrical spark systems in a viechle can deliver 50,000 volts at half of an amps power to each spark plug to cause the correct time spark / burn in each cylinder. if you have that heavy...

touch the leads of your meter together. what does it say. every cheap meter ive had has a resistance thru it - the red junk one i have now from ace hardware reads .6 ohms load thru just touching the probes to eachother - so since i know the meters resistance - i can then touch a 4 ohm...

ohm load and rise can be a killer here. you need to dig out the multi meter and check what it is at the amp.

yeah the one jeff linked to is the same type of one used in taylor fade video test

i bought a dc 7.5k from him and it was a good transaction - package could of used a little more padding for the amp ends but it made it safely sorry to hear about your bad deal with him - ive bought from him once and it was smooth for me

taylor fade told me this exact method as well - if he also trusts the theory behind why it works then it might not be a bad idea to try out. ive been wanting to test this myself but ive been working out ground noise / alternator whine issues in my system first and ive been a bit nervus to...

i want to see this sub - build it and post a pic here or link me a pic - im getting ready to build my first recone - no drop in i have to do it all

its a hatch back right ? i had a pos 84 corvette ( no back seats ) but the hatch glass like any other hatch car the best box for me was slot port all the way at the rear of the car - pointed up at the hatch glass and subs up also. i kno its not the same as your car as i had no rear seats...

i have a buddy bugging me to do a system in his boat - and im quite suprised to see everyone recomending normal car audio gear. isnt a boat subjected to a much harsher environment ? or are yall talking fresh water boats only ? where i stay boats go in both fresh / brackish / and salt...
