    Using car audio in the home?

    Hey, I know this might be a dumb question, but since I moved into college I don't use my system much anymore. Is there anyway to hook up my 500/1 and W7 inside?

    What the hell is the name of the bass test...

    I believe it to a THX test, but I need the Kazaa name of it. It's like 1:04 long, and the begining is a man telling you to turn off any bass boosts or equalizers, as they will not be neccessary for this test. At the end, he says if the woofers have not locked up, you can play the rest of the...

    I need .8 db's.

    I've got a good system, but to beat a guy flat out who has 4 12's and 2000 watts, I need .8 db's. Can anyone give me some new help? I'm running 4 gauge wire, and I won't build a new box. Gimmie some help.

    unbelievable...

    You sir, are dead wrong. Clipping is caused by distortion, and clipping sends a square sine wave to the sub, which causes it to jump the VC gap, lock up, and cook.

    150db with 1000 watts?

    I'm just tapping 150 now on the old Termpro mics with a W7, 500 watts, and a Hyundai.

    Alpine 7893 + CD-TEXT = ****?

    I just went out and bought a new burner that supports CD-Text. I just burned a CD and named it, and went out to my car to see the words "No Title" displayed. Anyone know what to do?

    Sticky Thread Idea's for Mods/Admins

    I just kind of had an idea, and wanted to know your input on it. How about we put together some stickies of commonly asked questions? For Example, we could have a "Sound Deadening" sticky, that the ONLY PURPOSE it serves is to detail the highs and lows of different kinds of dampening. Post...

    quick question

    Go to the store you bought it at, and see if they can pull up a reciept that says it.

    boot problem

    As long as the sub isn't running directly into something, you're good to go.

    how does this sound?

    You can generally go 10% either way and be ok. Your grammar is so bad I can't understand the rest of the question. Not a knock, just try to rephrase it.

    Loudest Spl Small Space

    I know you all will kick my ass, but try some W3's. You can put them in nearly any box, and I had mine in one that was nearly 3.5 cubes still sounding awesome. Just a suggestion.

    speaker wire broke off tweeter - can I solder it?

    Soder probably would go through the cone. Try looking into a conductive glue, like the speaker manufacturers make.
