Making a new setup and needing answers to a few questions: 1.) Will sound quality be affected if all the mid's are in the back of the car on the trunk lid thing? (I know subs don't matter, but do mids?) 2.) I was going to make a box for the mid woofers, but I'm having a difficult time finding...

Hi guys, recently bought 2 RE audio Se/X 15's. A friend had a free band pass box, minus the plexiglass. I put a 1/4" plexi in it.. too thin :P Before i spend the money on 3/8 or 1/2 inch plexi, I'm trying to decide if this box is even worth it or If I should just go sealed box and be done with...

So I have another borderline retard question for a car audio guru. So I hear that using non-matching subwoofers (2 different subs), can cause odd problems. Also hear that its better to use 1 amp to 2 subs vs 2 amps to 2 subs. Questions: What exactly is the main issue with pairing non-matching...

Yea, i got the 4 gauge for free with a deal and I already have it ran to a sub amp. I was adding a 400wrms speaker amp to my 1000wrms sub amp, and was going to just run a 10 gauge I had laying around for it.. then thought why not upgrade to 1/0.. then my OP topic occurred.. I mean obviously I...

Anybody?

I see, I always thought average joe was crap you get a wal-mart. Bottom of the line kicker, pioneer, etc. Mid-level enthusiast was quality name or higher model, coax or comp. High level enthusiast was quality components only, sound staging, timing, etc. I just feel like any speakers over 150$ is...

Sorry If I'm asking another age old question, but I looked over the forums and didn't find what I was looking for. Previous of today, I just googled "amp capacity of wire", and got charts showing how many amps a wire by gauge could handle. I had an epiphany today and thought "maybe these are...

Yea I have a 4 channel amp that I plan on using to power door speakers. I was just thinking that at 40 watts from the hu, you could push some tweeters.. or the door speakers and then use an amp for some full range woofers or mid drivers or 6 x9's.. etc It just adds options. It's also nice for...

Still kind of curious, but at the price I was gunna spend for an alpine or this, i just tossed a few more bucks in and grabbed an 80prs... The 40wrms is still interesting though.. kinda saves you from needing an extra amp..

Ok let me change my question. I understand a custom ported box in many shapes and sizes are far superior, I do get it. Lets just say at the current point in time I'm not really interested in making a custom box. Would it do me justice to switch to a sealed box with the correct airspace (perfect...

I mean everyone knows that ported box's get louder and produce deeper bass. The rumor is that sealed box's have more punch.. Any truth? Do you think a sealed is better than a poorly tuned ported?

So sonic's has a sealed belva 12" 1.5cu box for dirt cheap and I've been thinking about switch to sealed for a while... I currently am running a Belva 12" 1.71 cu ported 44hz box. Fairly certain this is just a bad tune for an alpine type r, or any sub really. It sounds great right now, but i'm...

Whats your guys thoughts on the Sony MEX-XB100BT. I'm not a fan of sony anything for car audio so I more or less stumbled on this. Its 20% off at sonics right now, so the deal is looking good. I was really shopping for an alpine, would I be disappointed with this over an alpine deck? The stats...

ahaahahaa.. My type R wasn't blown after all. When i checked the resistance I did it on the speaker wire ends. Today I took the sub out of the box because I was going to donate it to kitty. Decided to check the resistance on each coil. Measured just fine.. Turns out the negative jumper fell out...
