Winisd works pretty well. Thanks for the information!

The last time I build a subwoofer enclosure (for home not audio not car), I was using a website where I could input the Thiele Small parameters, enclosure size, port dimensions of my choosing and it the website would plot a frequency response curve. It was really helpful for not only designing...

I ended up buying a used Rockford Fosgate 400a4 off ebay for $101. I already have one of these amps, so I know it's good quality (supposedly the last year RF made good amps). rockford fosgate car stereo amplifier used 400a punch - eBay (item 250569024310 end time Jan-31-10 09:29:45 PST) I'm...

sells for $256.45 new on ebay. I have a 50x4@4ohm Sony amp in my mini-van and it works pretty well, but it takes up a ton of space and I got it for dirt cheap. If the XMC2000 is anything like the Sony amp I have, I'd make sure you have room for it. Sony XM C2000 Stereo Power Amplifier New in...

I'm sure if I buy another Rockford Fosgate 400A4 (assuming I can find one) it will be a good amp. If I can't find a 400A4 at a good price, do you think my MTX Thunder404 really puts out any less power than the Hifonics Txi 4408 or MB Quart DSC450? The Rockford, MTX and Hifonics all have 50-amp...

good catch! I tend to be warry when the company doesn't want to even publish a RMS rating.

It's too bad they only rate 14.4 volts and 4 ohms. I don't think I've ever run a amp on subs at 4 ohms un-bridged. I hope they revise the standard to give it more teeth.

I don't know how it's possible for the Autotek to be CEA compliant either, but Sonicelectronix says it is. It has a 30 amp fuse and is rated at 800 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. That would be around 193% efficient. How in the world could an amp like this be compliant? Autotek SM4-800 (sm4800)...

CEA says Maxxsonics is a member, but I'm not sure if that mean all their products are compliant. I did find some Autotek products made by Maxxsonics that are advertized as CEA-2006 compliant. Sonicelectronix says MB Quart DSC450 & Hifonics Txi4408 aren't CEA-2006 compliant, but they might...

Neither of the following amps are CEA-2006 compliant. Can I trust their power ratings? If so, why aren't they compliant? MB Quart DSC450 50x4@4-ohm (not CEA-2006 compliant) 2.70x9.45x11.02 $87 new Hifonics Txi4408 55x4@4-ohm (not CEA-2006 compliant) 2.36x9.07x12.60 $115 new

This deck has three issues: 1) in random mode, if you press next it doesn't go to the next song randomly. why would I not want a random selection in random mode? If I didn't want a random selection, I'd turn random off. 2) the sound quality is the worst of any deck I've ever owned. I've...

Parametric EQ and crossovers are great, perfect sound quality. Biggest issue is with the SD reader, always has read-errors and can only read 200 songs. The USB input has less read issues and can ready 1000's of songs, but it is only on the front, so you are likely to break off the flash drive...

you can't play random on more than one folder. why would I want to play random on just one folder? the remote looks like an 1980's cell phone. good sound quality though. Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X692 (kdcx692) All In-Dash Car Stereo Receivers Car Stereo Receivers and Head Units Car Audio Car...

I appreciate the suggestion. I looked up the dimensions on sonicelectronix (2.20x9.20x15.00). It's a little longer than I'm looking for.
