Every once in a while a specific rca connection I have slips off due to sub vibrations I guess. The wire is very tight and strong, but once in a while it comes off. It's most likely because it is set up vertical instead of horizontal due to space requirements. Any ideas to make it stay on?

Thanks.

My amp stopped working the other day. After trouble shooting, the fuse turned out to be the problem...but the fuse isn't blown. The fuse is cutting the voltage by 2-4V. I shake the fuse and there is no rattling. I put it back in and after messing around with it a bit it's working again. It's an...

Lmao, I couldn't say it any better, most definitely! Again, hooked on phonics will do both you and your friend justice. Nowhere did I say it wasn't useful. I did say you shouldn't use it to set gains with 0 db, as well clearly in the title UNDER-EXPLAINED, but I see as with many things that...

Every time someone like you responds, I wonder why you even exist. Or if you had any exposure to reading fundamentals or hooked on phonics...in your case needed...in elementary school. Nowhere did I blame the tool. I would reiterate (you might need a dictionary for that) things to you, but I see...

My subs never sounded as loud as they should have been. My home system with less amps were louder. Following directions here I used an oscilloscope alone. Not liking the results I overcompensated in the wrong ways I burnt up two subs...until today. All over this forum, and YouTube I see people...

First thing is ask is what you are trying to accomplish with the head unit? Basically if you are trying to play mp3 and your stock only does cd then yes switch it. But if that's not the case, I would simply test the capabilities of your stock and if its good keep it. For the most part, unless...

Should it be set based on the vrms, vpp, or vmax?

Could the noise be due to grounding/power, or is it just from equipment?

What about the 35hz thing? Should I be cutting everything below that since that's the bottom of the freq spec? I'm doing a brick wall cut right now.

You are absolutely right, and I should have known better. I have more than enough head room to remove the eq, and drop the front and rear stage in order to increase the base perception. No offense taken, I already set my gains with a ddm when i did it originally, but I put the eq on after...

So, I bought my first sub (Boston Acoustic G310) and it wasn't powerful enough, I just didn't pay attention when I bought it, so I needed to get something else and decided to just push it beyond its limits until it blew. It gave me a good five month run. I got the second sub (idqv3) and tuned...

I would go with components and coax. The alpine pdxv9 is a good 5ch amp when you're ready. I know a lot of people on a budget swear by the kappas, so i'll say yes to those by ways of the grapevine.

Personally I wouldn't turn it all the way down, especially the way you say you play it. 1/ you'll end up burning your sub up, 2/ forcing the sub to play what's not contained in your audio will get you nowhere. Hell, I wouldn't even have it at 25 jmo. things to consider. 1/ when others play...

If you are with geico you can sign up for glass repair for $5 a month. Chip your glass and they'll repair it for free as many times as you need. Once they repair it, it's guaranteed there on, so if it rattles loose again it is "workmanship" .
