help running amp off phone/ipod low volume issue

bds6867 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:30:11 GMT

Hi everyone, I am trying to run my alpine mrv f300 off a phone/mp3 player. I have no use for a radio/CDs/extra processing anymore so I am getting rid of my pioneer head unit, and I want to return power to the stock hu because many things are run through it.

When I tested the amp off of the mp3 player I got a little bit of volume but its outputting extremely low. I have seen some others on the web running it like this too, without need for a line driver or pre amp. Is what I'm doing possible ? What else do I need? Any help would be much appreciated.

Connecting Balanced Signals to DSP

beaster24 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:46:59 GMT

I just recently picked up an rf 3sixty.3 and I have a question before I get started hooking it up. My cars headunit has differentially balanced outputs going to a stock amplifier. I'm planning on taking the signals before the stock amplifier and going to the dsp. Since the 3sixty has rca low level inputs just like the ms8, will I have to solder in a female rca jack (positive to positive signal in phase and negative to the signal that is 180 deg out of phase) and then connect twisted pair rca's to the inputs of the dsp? I've been searching around for a simple answer this, but haven't seen it spelled out exactly. Thanks for the help.

Looking at the Clarion FX503 and VX401 multimedia units. Particularly interested in the FX503 as it has android compatibility. I do not care for DVD use. How are these units?

Anything else comparable?

I've looked on every site I can think of and Googled the heck out of anything pertaining to this amplifier but cannot find anything other than this 116ZX GPS Navigation Systems by Zoombak Valuation Report by UsedPrice.com

Anyone have a datasheet so I can replace some of the broken parts?

pxe-h660 install issues

pat_smith1969 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:23:08 GMT

I am in the process of setting up the PXE-H660 in my Wrangler. All the wires are run, but I don't SEEM to be getting signal from the factory unit. IT is not auto sensing the signal and turning on (I have a wire rigged up that I connect to always on signal when working on the system). When trying to listen to any signal from the head unit I get nothing, silence.

The system will produce the bleeps and ect during initial setup, they come out of all my speakers just fine. So the alpine is sending the signal fine from the unit to my amps to the speaker.

If I take each wire from the head unit (which would normaly go to the input on the h660) and connect them to a test speaker, I get sound so there is a signal from the head unit.

The problem seems to be with the H660 converting the signal from the head unit to the rca outs. Any ideas?

$1,200 in a GMC Typhoon

focused313 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:06:23 GMT

It's time to get the truck ready for my uncle and I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck.

I will be doing 95% of the install myself, minus whatever may need to be fabricated for the double din or tablet head unit and building the box. The $1,200 is for what is listed here, nothing else. Anything not listed, is already accounted for. All brand new equipment only, from reliable websites.

$150 for front stage 6.5 components
$500 for three 12" subwoofers (total of 1500-2k watts rms)
$300 for subwoofer amp (1500-2k rms)
$175 for 4ch amp 75-100w rms

Just for reference in the 4 vehicles between the two of us, we both have all Type-R subs and Hifonics amps, which have been good for quite some time. I don't believe Hifonics amps are efficient though, as they seem to be power hungry, at least the ones I've had (all brutus line).

TCA Sound-Off Challenge Finale now upgraded!

jkrob21 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:57:59 GMT

The TCA Sound-Off Challenge Tour 2013 has been growing over the last five shows! We've picked up quite a few new USACi members and competitors along the way.

Todd and I have been getting a lot of questions about the Grand Finale set to take place July 20th in Benton Arkansas. Here is the skinny on the Finale as of now.

The show venue has been moved from TC Audio's retail location to the old Benton airport grounds. We will have plenty of room to accommodate both SQ and SPL competitors along with spectators and manufacture booths.

The show has been upgraded from a double point to a triple point both SQ and SPL for USACi! You will now be able to rack up points toward USACi World Finals.

The show has also been upgraded to include the USACi World Record Meter and official World Record Runs in SPL officiated By Ralph himself. If you think you are loud and want to make an attempt at putting up an Official World Record in USACi this is a must attend show! Also we have chipped in and made it possible for reduced cost World Record Runs on behalf of our competitors. Contact the USACi office for pre-registration and reduced pricing information. 479-365-8722

It has now also been confirmed that Tim Goudy (Head USACi World Finals SQ Judge) WILL be the head SQ judge at the TCA Sound-Off Challenge Tour finale! Tim and his crew will handle all apects of Sound Quality judging with the help of our local judging staff. He will be judging at the MSA Car Show IASCA and USACi double point event in Conway the week before. It will be a great opportunity to have World Finals judges give feedback in SQ!

More details coming soon!

Sound system "fried" itself

ncyrider16 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:55:55 GMT

This is a simple problem...but I need help with it.
I built a custom sound system into a cooler using all car audio components, and an XS audio battery to power it. The customer who I built it for was testing it before it was completely finished, and they set the "temporary" metal power switch I had inside there on the pos. battery terminal screw.
I wasnt there when it happened, but they said it starting smoking and they saw/heard some sparks. The stereo completely stopped working, and there is a burn mark on the power switch and battery screw where they touched. The neg. battery wire melted a little, and was stuck together.

(Basic system wiring: 2 speakers wired directly to the head unit, and that is wired directly to the battery. Basic power switch connects to head unit and splices into pos. terminal wire that holds fuse)
I replaced the neg. battery wire/connectors, replaced the power switch, and the fuse in the pos. battery wire. Still doesnt turn on. The battery is fine, I tried it in my system.
The original wiring harness for the Pioneer receiver is still in there, and no other wires are "melted". The fuse that plugs in the receiver right next to where the harness plugs in is the original too.
Is it possible that the head unit is destroyed? Or just the wiring harness fried? What else should I check/replace?

Polk DXi650 Coaxial enclosure question

Bence — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:47:08 GMT

So I have searched and searched and the only airspace requirements I can find anywhere are for subs. I'm putting these speakers in my boat due to the cost and they are marine certified and I want to have them in a box. The dilemma I have is how big to build the box, or how much airspace would this speaker work best at? I will be running them with a 4 channel Polk Audio PA660 rated at 75 Watts X 4.

A little guidance please!

I'm wanting to redo 2011 nissan altima sedan. All I have so far is 2 kicker 15s running off a planet audio 2600, and a kenwood kdc155u. I was looking at the Rockford Fosgate components and tweeters and heard they were pretty good, since I'm moving to a couple Rockford 12s here in a few weeks. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them or if you know of better ones.

1987 Volvo 245 SQL Build

silver6 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:21:34 GMT

I was planning on making my Mazda the first build log, but since I haven't started that and i'm currently working on my Volvo, here goes!

A little background on my Volvo:

My 1987 245 Build thread :) - Turbobricks Forums

I've been doing some "audio" work on it for a couple of days, but I didnt take any pictures. Its just a dumb old Volvo, right?

Well, this thread:

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...sql-build.html

Inspired me to start working on my Volvo AND make a build log of it.

Pictures to come soon.

So, what's in the car now?

Head unit: JVC KD-AR8500
Front stage: HiVi FR600 (Tweets & crossover)
Sub Stage: Dayton Audio RSS315HO-4
Sub amp: MB Quart PAB-2100

This is going to be a somewhat budget build. As in, I have some stuff just chilling in my garage, not being used. I have 6 8" Peerless buyouts, 4 of which i'm going to be using for the midbass in my front doors.

I also have an extra MB Quart RWE-304 I can use.

I'll be going the 2 sub route, so that means I can get either another Dayton or another Quart.

As far as amps, the little Quart will be going in my daughters car. I've been eyeing the new MB Quart Onyx and Reference amps for a few months now and their prices keep droping :)

I Listen to ALL kinds of music. The reason for the 4 8's for midbass is that when i listen to metal, there isn't the kick to it that i'm looking for.

and on top of all of this I want to be able to get kind of "stupid loud" in the bass region :)

Smoke and Mirrors

Patrick Bateman — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:14:12 GMT

In this thread I'll show half a dozen different ways to bend sound.
This is handy in a car, because we frequently can't put our speakers in the ideal location.

Before I get into how to do that, it's useful to illustrate how sound radiates.

Sound radiates in a series of concentric rings. Basically sound expands in a sphere, but there are 'rings' of high and low pressure. These peaks and dips correspond to the phase of the sound.

Help with KIV_BT901 Kenwood car receiver

HWsMinis — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:44:53 GMT

Hello all,

I have an issue with the powering down of my car receiver (Kenwood model KIV-BT901). Prior to replacing the car battery, my receiver would shut off when I turned the car off and took out the keys. I had the battery replaced today and now my receiver stays on even when I turn the car off and remove the keys. I can press the power button for 1 second and it powers down, but I didn't used to have to do this. I've read through the small owner's manual and done a google search for this problem, to no avail. Can anyone here tell me what setting I need to change to get it back to the way it was?

Thank you.

Mike

Problem Frequencies

fcarpio — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:18:47 GMT

I think I am finally as close to a flat eq line as I am going to get, but the sound I am getting is on the harsh side. From what I hear this is a common problem of flat eq lines (may be wrong on this one). What are the 'common' frequencies that need to be tamed down a bit to get rid of the harshness?

Final stages of planning on Nexus 7 install

Rich.E.Rich — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:06:22 GMT

Ok, I am planning a Nexus 7 in-dash install for my GLI. signal flow is as follows:

Nexus 7 ==> USB hub ==> Fiio E07K DAC ==> 3.5mm to rca ==> MiniDSP 2x4 ==> 2 pair of RCAs to MB Quart RM 740.5 amp.

I have a few things that are of concern:

1. How do I tap into the vehicle power to provide power to usb hub only while ignition is on?
2. How do I provide a remote turn on lead to the amp?

The Real Port Formula

jjearl — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:17:53 GMT

I am troubled by all the different port formula equations surfacing today all spitting out different answers so I came here to ask you. Why are they all different. Does the qtc change with them or whats going on! Before I spend hundreds building boxes, I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Here are all the ones I've found.

Ported Vented Box Equations Formulas Design Calculator Lv Port Vent Length

Subwoofer Enclosure Calculators, Fraction to Decimal, Parallel, Series, Port Length and Volume Calculators

JL Audio � header � Support � Tutorials � Tutorial: Enclosure Ports

Car Audio - PORT DESIGN FORMULAs for sub WOOFER ENCLOSUREs

and after downloading the loudspeaker design cookbook 7th edition on page 81 it says the port formula is lv=((1.463 x 10^(7) x R^(2)) / (fb^(2) x vb)) - 1.463R

Lv= Port Length inches
Fb= Tuning frequency hz
Vb= Box Volume inches cubed
R= Port Radius inches.

From my math almost all of them are different.. WTF?

Having a problem centering the stage to where I want it

Wy2quiet — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:00:44 GMT

So I have EQ'd and EQ'd and RTA'd with an accurate setup, T/A'd and still find the stage always wants to stay JUST RIGHT of the center of the hood.

How much EQ can I use? I have 64 para bands per channel but I always thought too much EQ is bad. Another thing is 1-2 inch movements tend to move the stage anyways so I would just be generally eq'ing for an area. Now that I have the widebanders on the dash the stage is definitely more defined then ever, but I still have problems with a true center hood image. Any ideas? It is driving me nuts.

Bench testing with AC power supply?

justicepool — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:48:21 GMT

Hello,

I wanted an easy way to bench test amps, head units, etc., indoors. I have a AC power supply that I used for charging radio control batteries. It is a 350W ac adapter with a DC 14V 25A 350W output.

Would it be ok to just hook the amp, head unit, etc., directly to the DC output?

Thanks!

Complicated IB install NEED advice

jjearl — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:37:08 GMT

Hello, my name is Josh and this is my first post. Il start off with a list of all the equipment I have and my car.
Thanks for taking the time to read/help me out I super appreciate it! :)

*2002 civic 2 door coupe, 5 speed, optima yellow top, stock alternator, 12.9 ft3 Cargo space (including spare tire well or no?)
*3 avi-sls300 12" subs (sexy) OR 3 15" kicker impulse 15's (15i-4 old school subs)
*Digital designs M1a Mono amp (gorgeous amp, 3 40amp fuses in total)
*Hertz HSK-165 6.5" component speakers (the color in the middle is dark not the lighter one)
*I forget the model But I'm bridging a clarion 4-channel for my fronts to get about 170-rms each @4-ohms. (2 20amp fuses)
*Kinetik KHC600 power cell (hopefully will compensate for my stock alternator)
*Phoenix Gold bass cube+line driver (mint condition :) )
*JVC KD-R80BT single din deck (3 5volt pre-outs)
*A ton of Scoche Acumat AMT060

Now that I acquired a fair bit of quality equipment, I need to install it all. Keep in mind I'm on a horribly limited budget for now. Here are some concerns/questions I have.

*Will my power cell be enough of a band-aid for my stock alternator for now? Keep in mind that in an IB setup my sub amp will barely need any current draw especially with my line driver feeding it up to 8 volts.

*Does all the equipment I listed sound decent or is there anything I should know/may be overlooking?

Here are some comments I would like to make

*My main music is trap/bass, hip-hop, dubstep, electro, mainstream songs, club songs I LOVE bass heavy music!

*My goal Is stupid low and stupid loud bass (around 25-35 hz) while still maintaining as much quality as possible. Loud still takes priority though. I want the guy 3 cars down from me to feel my bass :) I also really love midbass which is why I chose my timber-matched door speakers. I want it to sound half decent with the bass turned down then be able to crank it up and make my passenger want to puke with bass pretty-much.

*I like my trunk space and would prefer to keep my car as light as possible. Which is why I'm considering an infinite baffle install. But with the equipment I have, If a giant ported box is what I need than I will be willing do do it, only as a last resort to get the results I want.

My main question/concern is as follows.

*My 15" kicker subs have the following specs. 175watts (max or rms?) FS-26 Vas-236 litres X-max 4.5mm (yuck!) Qts-.56 Spl-90

*My AVI subs are 360rms FS-19.3 (yummy!) VAS-166.8L X-max 7.1mm QTS-.343 Spl-89.5

*will the low qts of my avi subs make them unfavorable for an IB install?
*will the low power handling of my kickers make them not able to give me the bass i want?
*will the high vas of my kicker subs make them cut off at a higher frequency than 25hz with only 12.9 ft3 air space in trunk?
*should i just use the avi subs ported since their qts favors ported anyway?

Thanks again for your time :) any help is indispensable to me at this point.

2004 C5 Corvette install- couple of options?

justicepool — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:13:55 GMT

I am installing a new system in my 2004 Corvette Coupe. I've read through several of the Corvette install threads and have a few ideas from them.

The entire car will be sound deadened. A single 10" sub will go in a prefab box in the rear of the car. Right now a JL10W3V3. I would love to look at different sub options that will fit the specs of the box (magnet width up to 6", mounting depth up to 6 1/4").

Originally I was going to go with a Panasonic AVIC X930BT so I could have a rear view camera, hands free blue tooth, and GPS in dash, something the 04' C5 Vette does not have. But, then I fell in love with the Panasonic CQ-TX5500.

I am going to run a 2 way or 3 way component set in the car. Dynaudio, Morel, or maybe Hybrid Audio. The tweeters are going in the pillars. The mid and or mid/woofer will go in the door. I am even exploring putting a mid/tweeter in the pillar, depending on the size and how far it would extend the pillars.

Head Unit- Any good solutions to keeping some of the modern conveniences that I wanted with the Pioneer and still using the Panny?

Hands Free Blue tooth?
I could always use my iphone for Navigation.

Maybe even a portable GPS if it came with hands free bluetooth and a rear view camera.....do they make such an animal?

Found a way to run my ipod through the Panny so that is not a problem.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Battery Post options

ChadS99SVT — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:42:01 GMT

Are there any options to increase the use of the post on a battery. My factory connection is fairly small and not very open to adding a zero gauge wire to it. I would have to take the nut of the ubolt and bend/awkwardly place it on there and then try to screw it back on.

Are there any good options out there. I saw an extender at the local auto parts store but it seemed a little small and I'm not sure it could handle the current? however it's designed for this sort of thing so who knows...

I will try and get a picture later but for now I have none.

Getting back in the game...

jcstites — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:21:43 GMT

I've been out of the car audio scene for a while. I used to post on ECA, but it looks like it's gone for good now. I used to run ID, OZ, monitor 1, rainbow, etc..but sold it all years ago. After installing an Alpine HU in my girlfriend's car I got the itch again...

While I could spend a decent amount, I'm looking to do a "budget" build in my Accord.

HU - Alpine 147bt? I really just want bluetooth and decent EQ. The tuneit app seems to be a nice feature.

Front - Pioneer TS-D720C, already ordered these. Will start with them in the doors, but might build kicks if I'm not satisfied.

Amp - Looking for something around 4x100 to run the fronts and sub. Would like to stay under $150. Looking at an Arc Audio XXD 5080 right now.

Sub - 10" Image Dynamics svc 4 IDQ in a ported box I never got rid of, already have this.

So I'm just really looking for an amp and HU. Any recommendations? Most of the stuff I used is now called "old school" and I don't know whats out there anymore.

New member. Image Dynamics

kelso1 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:59:57 GMT

Why does nobody know of these? I have decided to sell off my unused IDW18 pair, but no interest is in these. Seems like years back, you could draw a crowd to just look at them.

Sub boom... Need some help

~clover — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:29:37 GMT

Hi guys,
I just hooked up my subs in my new car last night ('13 VW GTI) and I'm having some problems. If i have the key in the ACC mode my sub works great and everything functions as it should. However I found out last night (at 11pm do I'm sure my neighbors love me) when I turn the car on my subs all of a sudden start booming non stop and didn't stop until I turned the car off (which was pretty quickly since it was late at night). Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? I'm using the stock head unit (RCD510) with an LC2i LOC. The amp I have is an Alpine MRP500 and my subs are (2) 12" Kenwood w3013ps. I had the same equipment in my last car and never had a problem (I had an aftermarket deck though so I wasn't using an LC2i). Only other thing I did differently was I used a regular rca cable for the subs because my kicker ones had a rip in them. Anyways, I've been googling for hours trying to figure out what the problem could be. If it helps any my car doesnt have the dynaudio package... It's just the premium 8 speaker system with components up front and in the back. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing my subs to boom pike crazy when I turn the car on?
Thanks!

Determining where the amp crossover is at

haromaster87 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:59:09 GMT

Hey guys,

So I finally got everything hooked up last night and I started trying to get the crossover points set and found a little issue. The amp is a SoundStream REF5.1000 5-channel amp. It has a high pass filter for channel 1&2, a high pass and low pass for 3&4 and a low pass for 5. I'm mainly working with the crossover points for channels 1-4. The crossovers are 12db slopes.

The problem for me is the little crossover knob for the HP filters goes from 15hz-4khz. It's a really small knob with no indication as to what number is where. The LP filter isn't much better going from 50hz-4khz. This makes it really hard to figure out where the channels are getting crossed at. I tried kinda eyeballing it, but I could tell it was way off from where I thought it was.

I know a lot of people use built in crossovers, so I know I'm not the only one who's dealt with this. I looked online, but I just kept finding explanations of what a crossover was. haha

What methods do people find best to determine where they are on their crossover points with those little dials? I have an idea of where I want to get my points started at and work from their, but I have to be able to get the dials within range first.

Thanks!

Will fiberglass resin stick to cardboard OK?

iScream — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:17:54 GMT

So I want to build two or three very crude enclosures, just to test my midrange and tweeters in different positions before really installing them. I'm using a 4" mid so the volume probably needs to be less than a liter.

I'm thinking about just using cardboard, or a big sheet of that thick paper product they sell everywhere for kids crafts and stuff like that. I could cut to shape then glue up an enclosure with the volume I need, then just brush one layer of resin over it to seal and keep it from flexing much.

Anyone see a problem with this? Will the resin stick well to paper/cardboard?

Any other suggestions for going about this?

Thanks for any tips.

Sundown : New Amps 2013

sundownz — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:43:33 GMT

Been doing alot of work on some new amp products -- I don't get the time I used to on the forums to keep everyone in the loop but I'll go ahead and announce them today! Production is starting this week so we are looking at ~90 days or so. I won't be starting pre-orders right away but do expect a pre-order at some point once I get more solid time-lines.

SAX-150.2 ($400 MAP) : Two channel Full-Range Class-D design (similar to 125.4) -- also runs on 19v like SAX-125.4

SAX-100.4 v.2 ($400 MAP) : Four channel Class-A/B design with similar crossovers to the 125.4 -- but a lower price as it's an A/B amp. Now featuring a fan as with most of our new stuff. This model will run to 16.5 volts.

SAZ-5000D ($1520 MAP) : All new case tool about 3" narrower than the 4500D/NS-1 casing; similar design to the 4500D but beefed up to carry a 5000 rating from us.

NS-1 v.2 ($1900 MAP) : Same new case as 5000D; will be about 3" narrower / 3" longer than current model with pretty well identical internal components and same price. Many customers were looking to go narrower so we've been working on this for a bit.

----------

Some of the SAE amps will also be launching -- MAP will be close to what I discussed originally. I posted about the "E" line prototypes some time ago; I was very happy with them. Now a few are coming out this year. Case tool will look similar to the newer case SAZ line. These come with remotes / are stable to 16.0 volts (not 16v system stable). There are some changes compared to prototypes and I will get more information up before any pre-ordering goes up.

----------

SAE-600D ($209 MAP) : The board is like the "500D" I posted about a while back that well exceeded the power expectations.

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/f...-pictures.html

SAE-1000D ($269 MAP) : Little smaller version of the 1200D board posted about earlier.

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/f...rototypes.html

SAE-50.4 ($159 MAP) : More basic crossover function from our other gear -- Class-A/B design. Pretty much like the prototype but with our tooled case.

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/f...rototypes.html

----------

I will start releasing more information as we get closer to pre-orders. Info that isn't here already and pictures will be coming along!

Which pair of subs for 800 rms @ 2 ohms.

audiozone — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:20:42 GMT

Hello, I will have 800 rms @2ohms from the amp and I can't decide which subs, I had the idea of two 12" in a sealed enclousure. And I can get easily these ones:

Phoenix Gold R312
Model Info here

JL 12 w3v3
Model Info here

Do you have any though about this subs? Specially the R3 because I don't have the opportunity to see or listen before buy it. R3 price is way more attractive than the w3v3, but in quality and sound are this subs comparable? I saw the specs and are close with slight differences but I really can't understand all of the specs so I might be missing something.

Also I am open to any other recommendation? I think I might be able to get brands like memphis, pioneer, kicker....

Very lost, need some advice! :confused:

justicepool — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:27:05 GMT

Ok, this started out as my re-entry into car audio after a lengthy absence. I have built several systems since 1985. My "ultimate" system was a variation of Dynaudio speakers (always passive), Mcintosh or BK Butler Tube amps, or PPI Art series. The primary head units were Eclipse, then Mcintosh MX406, then a Denoford unit. (had to sell the MX406.....that's how i ened up with a still nice Denoford). Ok, there is 20 years or so of my car history.

Sold the last truck that I did a build in over a year ago and took out my Dyn's, head unit, and amps. Bought a new to me Lexus RX400H that had a so so sound system. I replaced the head unit with a Kenwood double din with navigation and it really seemed to bring it ti life. So, I left it alone. Well, I then purchased a 2003 GMC Sierra Denalli that came factory with the bose system. I replaced the head unit on it and it came to life as well, with a little up front bass from the small sub in the console.

Now, I purchased a 2004 Corvette Coupe, mint, garaged. I LOVE this car, I hate this bose stereo in it. So I decided to upgrade and sound deaden. Initially I bought the Dynaudio Esotec 242GT and a JL10w3v3 sub for a simple install. Was going to pair it with a Pioneer Avit X9310BT add rear camera, navigation, and hands free blue tooth the C5 vette is sorely missing.

Done right? Well If I could leave things well enough alone. Got the I want to try something different bug. So, I purchased a Mcintosh MCC444 110x4 amp, a Mosconi 120.4 amp, a set of Audison Voce AV K6 component speakers were picked up today...I've made offers on other amps, no deals pending though.
I'm looking at another Mcintosh Amp, some sinfoni's and genesis as well.
Oh, and a just bought a Panasonic CQ-TX5500D head unit.

Ok, first, if you have made it this far thank you sooo much for hanging in there.
My daily driver is a 2006 Lexus RX400H with an upgraded Kenwood head unit. That's it, everything else is stock.
My 2004 Corvette is completely stock with the bose system. It is my good weather day driver.
I have a 2003 GMC Sierra Denali that is our "ranch" truck and will be my son's truck in 3 years.
I have a 2005 Ford Escape, this is my daughters. The head unit has been upgraded to a Pioneer double din unit, nothing else done there.
I have a 2002 Toyota Prius that is currently having a new head unit, four speakers, and a sub installed at a shop in lubbock. This is my daughter that is going away to college's car and she really wanted a stereo.

But if the right to Feng Ye unlimited shots, the Grizzlies will not streak so many games. YE Feng certainly stronger than Guy, not because of his offensive game, but his heart is more resolute, more adept at playing with my mind, attacking each other's weaknesses.

"

How Can I find an Old Boston Acoustics Pro 8.4lf or 8.5lf Subwoofer?

Jrunr — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:54:08 GMT

I have been looking for a Boston Pro 8" sub for a while now. I used to run them in my car in the late 1990's and early Y2K. I always loved how clean they sounded (while pounding pretty hard) and now I want to experiment with using one to replace a stock 8" sub in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These were the most efficient subs I know of and I really want to hear them again!:D

Please let me know what I can do.

Thanks guys!

Need new tweeters under $100... Help

MLyons — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:22:16 GMT

I have been reading around and SEAS DXT seem to get really good reviews but I don't think they will fit with what I am working with.

I need a 1" tweeter with about 1/2" - 3/4" inch mounting depth.

I am mounting them in the OEM locations in the doors in my 350Z.

I am replacing my blown JBL MS62C Tweeters that I was running passively

I am powering the components with a PPI p900.4 2 channels run the compents and the other two are bridged to a 10" RE Sub.

Any suggestions would be great.

I listen to all kinds of music, dubstep, rock, R&b, and pretty much anything else that everyone else is listening to.

I would really appreciate your help I can decide what i want to get. And I want to be able to clearly listen to it loudly.

-Michael

Thanks in advance.

I'm coming at this from a different angle then I was last time round...

Here's what equipment I've chosen so far:
Front only: Illusion audio carbon c6 component set. (bi-ampable)
Single image dynamics IDQ10
Mosconi One 240.2 for sub
Mosconi One 120.4 for fronts

Key question to the thread title...
What headunit is the best to go for if I'll also likely going with the Mosconi 6to8 as well?

Electrical noise issue....one you have never been asked!

Jonny Hotnuts — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:06:31 GMT

This is a stretch for car audio but I need help and after a ton of research with no results I am asking here.

I have a friend who is a very quirky electrical genius in the 12v racing world.

He seen a picture of my layout of electrical components and was very unhappy about the location of my fuel pump in relation to the other components. He said that the pump would generate 'electrical coupled noise' and interfere with the other stuff.

He also mentioned that I should follow the lead of vehicle manufactures regarding isolating the fuel pump but did not elaborate on what that really meant.

Does that mean:

The physical location of the pump can cause interference EVEN if the ground and + are located far from the area where the other boxes get their power?

Will it be OK in its current location if I run separate lines to the battery (located in the front of the car) to the pump itself or should I just go ahead and relocate the fuel cell and pump FAR away from the other elements?

Are there any tricks like 'running your power cables down one side of the car and the RCAs down the other' or other things I can try so the pump electrical noise wont mess with the ECU/data logging stuff?

Here is an early pic of the board in question, it now has radiused holes and has more complete wiring but is the basic idea.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Subwoofer size

kaflam — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:40:02 GMT

Hi everyone!
Again, still working on my CRV 2012 audio project, and today is about the subwoofer size.
I�m actually running an Arc 8D2 subwoofer (2 ohm dual voice coils ArcAudio) at 4 ohms on a sealed enclosure of 0.35 cuft and sounds nice on the trunk firing up but.... only if you are parked! �Cause when you are on the road you are just like... :surprised: where is my sub?
So I've decided to make an upgrade... Working with an XDi 805 arc audio 5 channel amp, with a 400 watt (2 ohm) or 240 watt (4 ohm) channel for my subwoofer, I have two options:
1. Image Dynamics ID12 D4 (12 inch, 2 4 ohm voice coils) running at 2 ohms.
2. Arc Audio Black 10 D 4 (10 inch , 2 4 ohm voice coils) running at 2 ohms.

The general question is about Size vs. Top Hi-End

What I would like on my sound system is:
1. less boom, more humm
2. Not sub loosing on the road
3. Sound quality

I feel lost, what do you suggest?

Thanks for reading

Alpine INA-W910 Map Update

PhoenixGoldFan — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:34:43 GMT

Hi Guys, Im in Brazil and I'm trying to Update my INA-W910 (US Version) GPS Map to Brazilian map. I've made researches again and again about it and what I ever found is that there is no way to do it until Alpine releases a specific Synctool for it. I've tryed a whatever I thought could work, but none did...
I decided to Open the top cover of it, and found som info's that are on HU GPS Mainboard, like wich OS (WinCE 5) is used and found 5 unjumpered jumpers places that possibly can be used for something.
Does anybody uses Alpine INA-W910R (European Updatable Version) to help me out with some mainboard pics, or any idea of what could be done?

Help selecting sub for Arc Kar1000.2T

kevinberry1 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:48:25 GMT

Hi there, I am downgrading my system because I just purchased a Subaru Outback and I don't want to run my Oz Audio Matrix Elite 15 because it is just too big. I'm looking to get a decent 8" or 10" sub for under $150.

I'd like to use my 1000.2T but it is 900 watts x 1 at 4 Ohms and I can't find a sub that needs that much power for my price range. I'm wondering if the amp would run 450 watts for an 8 ohm load if I were to run a DVC 4 ohm sub in series? I'm looking for a nice SQ sub. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

Has anyone actually seen one of these or have they all gone to live with Bigfoot ?

Earzbleed — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:07:32 GMT

I didn't receive the manual when I bought my amp (Soundstream L5.1110) but I figured, they're easy enough to find online so I didn't worry about it. Sure enough, the manuals are everywhere but every page contains the same phrase "Yet another unique feature of LW 5 is detent crossover potentiometers. WTF is a potentiometer? Potentiometers, pots for short, are the crossover and gain adjustment knobs. What is a detent? Detent pots have click stops, "detents", so you can accurately select your crossover frequency setting. An included reference chart verifies the frequency each detent position represents"
I haven't been able to find the reference chart anywhere, not even a grainy scan of one. Does anybody here know where I could find one online?
Going back to the store isn't really an option as things got a bit loud when I discovered what a crap job they did on the install. Also, I have chronic pain so I tend to do things from home if at all possible. There is another store from the same franchise with a brilliant manager and staff but they're even further away.

Reconing Subwoofer to a Different Brand?

01bolt — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:32:43 GMT

Hi, I purchased a pair of RE SX10's but was reconed by PSI using PSI recones. My question is since it was reconed by PSI using PSI recones will it still sound as a RE SX10 subwoofer? or will it sound totally different? Both motors and basket are still the same.

Should I put my Esotar tweeters in the center of the dash?

BuickGN — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:32:30 GMT

After a lot of reading around here, along with needing a stealth spot to put these huge tweeters the stock center channel hole seems like a decent place to attempt to fit the tweeters. It seems like some are running the tweeters in the center of the dash with success.

These are machined down to 4" but still huge. They're currently on the dash on axis but it was just a temporary install using Velcro to hold them between the windshield and dash. I need to do something with them.

Assuming I can get them to fit, is there anything wrong with doing this? I can put them in the hole firing up at the windshield. I can put them partially on the hole on axis. Or I can put them on top of the factory speaker grill.

I'm guessing on top of the center grill on axis would be best for performance but what would be worse, having part of the faceplate below the dash or under the dash out of sight firing at the windshield? I prefer stealth if it won't cost performance.

Ill probably experiment with all options over the next couple days but I thought I would ask here first. For what its worth I'm more than satisfied with the performance now, but I either need to get these things built into the pillars or in the center, I can't keep them where they're at. It's getting old not being able to take the car to the movies or anywhere besides the garage and the guarded parking lot at work because of my tweeters that stick out like a sore thumb and would take under 5 seconds to steal.

25 cu.ft. 4th order bandpass, 2 Dayton DCS450 Classic 18", 600 watts, Not SPL

Navy Chief — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:37:18 GMT

So I have had my system done in my truck for about a month now and there are a few things I want to change or improve on. The primary thing I want to change is my sub stage. The biggest reason is frankly because I didn't build it, I am running a pair of JL 10W6V2 in prefab stealthboxes. The biggest thing I enjoy about this hobby is the engineering aspect, I like designing and building my own stuff and enjoying the results.

I also tend to enjoy the "WOW" factor sometimes associated with our hobby, there is no denying that big amps and big subs get the attention. If you have seen my truck then you will already know that it gets its fair share of attention, what doesn't get much attention is a pair of 10s hidden under the seat when I am at a car show. I will be perfectly honest, I love big diameter subs. There is just something about a big driver moving a lot of air that is just cool. I also love the off brand underdog or the old school equipment beating the pants off the uber fancy expensive big name equipment.

So here is my current plan, build a huge 4th order bandpass enclosure in the bed using $125 old school inspired Dayton 18s.

Dayton Audio DCS450-4 18" Classic subwoofer 4 ohm 295-475

So why the Dayton classic 18, its cheap, its fairly efficient for an 18, it doesn't require a ton of power and its matches the old school style of my build.

So why a 4th order bandpass, I have unlimited space (truck bed), I need to port sound into the cab and I want to get low and flat.

I have considered the down side of cutting my bed, my truck already has shaved handles and lights, its lowered and the bed is carpeted. My truck is already going to be bought (if I ever sell it) by someone looking for a specialty vehicle that probably wont care about the cut.

I used the AJ Designer software to get a brief design and what I have calculated is a 23 cu.ft. enclosure with a passband from 19hz to 71hz. The shared ported center chamber will be 16 cu ft with four 6" ports or a single 3500 cu in square port. The sealed chambers will each be 3.5 cu ft.

The goal is SQ, but lets be honest when you have a pair of 18s in a 25 cu ft box you want to be able to get loud and low if required. I do not want a giant SPL fart box, I want a very musical flat deep low box.

I am looking for input, what do you guys think? Will this work?

Midranges in the knee bolsters: good or bad idea?

halfstock — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:31:31 GMT

I've been throwing around the idea in my head about installing midranges in the driver and passenger knee bolsters. They would be slightly off axis, but facing directly at the occupants for the most part. By midrange I mean 300 Hz - 3 kHz.

What are the downsides of doing this other than the slight off axis mounting?

This is what I have in mind to do:

A rare occurrence: Adding just a subwoofer to a 13 Golf TDi - Arc Audio, Audiomobile

simplicityinsound — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:16:18 GMT

For anyone who has followed our build logs, you are probably used to seeing all inclusive SQ projects where we replace everything. The truth is, we are usually quite busy with these types of builds that we hardly have time for smaller projects.

This car however, was an exception. It was referred to us by a long time friend in the industry, and we just happened to have a lil extra time to squeeze him in.

this marks only the second time Simplicity In Sound has performed a subwoofer add on build...some of you may remember the last one :):

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...xus-is350.html

this time, with joey's talent, we took it a step further. :)

The car is a brand spanking new 2013 Volkswagen Golf Tdi, the customer has had pretty poor experiences previously with local audio shops and was a bit hesitant at taking another shot at it. but with the help of our friend, he handed us the keys and laid down these goals:

1. On a reasonable budget, obtain the maximum amount of music bass possible

2. retain full access to spare tire

3. retain the ability to fold down the backseat to pass long items through

thats it...basically as you can imagine, this dictated a side enclosure, and we played around with various designs, and ended going with a single 10" sub, the by now trusted audiomobile elite 2210.

lets get started.

first, we had to figure out a fuse holder for him, so Joey fabricated one from metal that bolts to OEM mounting spots and houses a single MAXI fuse holder

I was responsible for the wiring and amp rack, while joey took care of the sub enclosure, since most of the wiring is tucked under the factory jute and out of sight, i can only take pics of where it enters the channel and where it exists by the back seat.

I also installed a remote bass knob in one of his knock out panels infront of the shifter, but neither of us remembered to take a picture of it lol, but its basically like this one i did previously:

we removed the driver side foam storage bin, and i installed two rivet nuts on the floor:

and then i made a simple carpted board to act as the amp rack and bolted it in place:

i then installed a single arc audio KS300.2 amp and a customer supplied Audiocontrol LC2i on the board and wired it all up. the LC2i wasnt really needed for the dynaudio system but he had it anyway and it provided a remote bass port:

so that was my job done :) onto the bass part!

So as mentioned earlier, the customer wanted as much bass as possible, but we were still limited by where the spare tire sat. but in the end, Joey managed to build a very cool PORTED enclosure of 1.5 cubic foot tuned at 38HZ, plotted on bassbox pro.

to make it blend in better, it features a combination of vinyl and carpet with cool shaped front grille piece and a smaller trim panel with a raised vinyl logo.

it should be stated that the projected started as a simple carpeted side enclosure that evolved to what you see hear all due to Joey's enthusiasm and dedication. He kept the customer involved at every step and when it came to what kind of logo he wanted on the front trim piece, he gave us a Battle Axe image to use, a personal touch to the design. it is a simple press fit piece so we also made him a blank one that he can swap out later if he feels like it.

the front of the box has a TON of detail work that really shows of Joey's ability. so here is the final result:

pop off the grille, which is press fit AND held on by magnets, and you get a closer look at the Audiomobile elite2210 and the slot port:

So, lets take a quick look at the build process of the box, keeping mind its joey's work so we may be skipping several steps at a time hahhahaha

first, the area was taped off:

then fiberglass was laid down, the mold popped out, trimmed and attached to various MDF pieces (yall will just have to take my word for it :D)

this is the inside of the port:

and mold cloth pulled between the mdf frame and the fiberglass back mold:

once that was resined, cured and reinforced, joey got to work on the front baffle, with drawings of where all the trim pieces will go:

when that was done, the area was tapped off again so the edges can be blended to precisely match the curvature of the oem carpet:

at the same time, two big rivet nuts were installed into the floor to which the subbox will bolt:

this is the entire back portion of the box sans the front baffle:

and the front baffle attached with the trim pieces secured. filler was then applied in between to form the press fit walls that go around the trim panels:

when thats all sanded and the trim piece routed and prepped, it looks like this:

mocking up the battle axe logo:

and vinyl being applied to the grille piece, after this, grille mesh was secured to it, forming the removable grille

when all the pieces were upholstered, and the subbox bolted in place, this is what it looks like before the sub, grille and factory floor panels went back on

so thats it...i have to say, when we were discussing a big ole PORTED box for a side enclosure of a Golf, i was skeptical on how it can look, but really, what joey came up with both provides a TON of output AND it looks clean...pretty cool feat if you ask me.

I only got to listen to the car briefly before i had to leave, but i have to say its a shocking amout of output for a single 10 off of 700 watts RMS (keeping in mind i am an SQ head haha)...

I will let joey give his impression on the car and how the sub sounded ported. :)

cheers,

Bing

Hello! I want to put a sound system on my car, but i want to keep the factory radio, i know there is a really good write up here, and I read it. But i want a single amp for all of my speakers and another one for an 8inch sub.

Toastytoy — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:35:37 GMT

I have a pair of ID cd1pro horns, and a pair of dynaudio MW170s so i will definitely used those. I am going to put the dyns in a sealed enclosure, but i am toying with the idea of putting them in the kick panels or in door pods not sure. Also i am not sure what HU/processing to use, as a lot has changed since i was into car audio back in the day.

As for subs, i have two acendant audio avalanch 15s, two ADS rs12 subs, two phase alante 10s, and a diyma 12. I am really unsure which subs to use and what box to put them in so any advice on that would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot guys!

mfenske — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:21:08 GMT

So I'm late to the party on this one (as usual) but I'm proud to say I really like this processor. I've not had a ton of time to goof with it as of yet though in the limited time I have I found it really does a nice job. I'm finding the imaging and staging to be really pleasant and extends well beyond the confines of the car. The only thing I'll say the MS-8 did better was its center focus. Though, I suspect that may be due to the fact I realize I've gotten the left and right inputs switched.

The manual as everyone has stated is pretty much useless but through the forum I've got it sounding really nice. I'm planning on keeping it now and will definitely tweak it some more.

Fun little project for my toddler

rton20s — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:04:06 GMT

The short...

Need a small pair of (<4") full range speaker that can be powered off of 20w x 2 @ 4 Ohms or 10w x 2 @ 8 Ohms. Needs to reach down to at least 100 Hz and as close to 20 kHz as possible. Help?

The long...

I'm considering building my boy (2 in August) a tot rod for when we go to car shows and cruise nights. I'll probably just use my phone or an iPod of some sort as a source rather than install an actual head unit. I just picked up a couple of small amps (Sony XM-2022 and Coustic Power Logic AMP 102), each of which puts out 20W x 2 @ 4 Ohms (non-bridgeable from what I can tell).

I'd like to throw in a SMALL pair of speakers that would require a minimal crossover (in line capacitor, no onboard amp crossovers). I do not have a body for the car selected yet, but I will assume that these will be installed free air in the "dash" panel. Easiest thing might be a 3.5" or 4" speaker set like the Pioneer TS-D1002R? Though, these might be a bit large for the install location.

I am also considering raw drivers. Seems like there might be some decent 3" options from Aurasound and Fountek, among others. Many of these can reach down to 100 Hz pretty easily and still cover all the way up to ~20kHz. Some of the options only seem to be available in 8 Ohm configuration right now, but that might not be too big of a deal for this installation. And the price is certainly right, considering you can pick up a pair of raw drivers for about $25 . Granted, they can be upwards of $100 on the high end.

So what say you DIYMA?

Looks like this show is going to be a go ahead. Hopefully we will have a decent turnout. I know there is talk of a GTG this weekend but it would be nice to have a few SQ guys make the trip if you can.

1 DB AND SO ON

cleansoundz — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:57:33 GMT

After experimenting with 2 amps that are rated to do 700-800 watts at 2 0hms, I was told that the differences between them and 1000 watts would be minimal less than 1 db. Is a db a turn on the volume knob or 2 turns on the volume knob? Aside from looking at db's on a meter, how else could I tell if a system is 1 db higher? I have been scratching my head at how loud 2 10's ported on 700 watts actually is for the last month. I just want to know how without using a meter how I can measure the differences without a meter.

Stinger sgn21, amplifier in protect mode.

scoobyman — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:06:06 GMT

Been suffering from a turn-on system pop for awhile and i've tracked it down to one particular amplifier out of 3, i've tested all the usual stuff like grounds and power cables, installed a relay for remote, however, the pop remained; By removing amplifiers one by one, i have tracked it down to my oldest amp in the system, the dls ca40, which i love very very much despite the many problems that i had with it recently - it had it's rca input broken off twice, had a channel crackling on bumpy roads, which was fixed only to become a whiny channel and now it seems that it is also responsible for turn-on pop that i've been struggling with for awhile. I would've replaced it some time ago, but it's just the right size, with the right crossover cuts and the right functions that i cant seem to find in any other modern day amp.

So i've bought myself a stinger sgn21 pop stopper bit, as people recommend it for that sort of problem, however, when i wire the sgn21 in to the amp that i think is causing the pops, it just goes into protect mode and wont turn on, i checked all the wiring 10 times and everything is correct. I even connected the sgn21 to another amp to test it and it works as advertised, it turns the amp on with a slight delay without any problems, but the pop is still there. Wire it in to the "faulty" amp and it just doesnt turn on.

Could anyone please explain what is going on ?

I need a new active deck...

07maximan — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:23:41 GMT

So this weekend I apparently blew the Pico fuse on my Pioneer 880. Im really bummed because I really liked this unit. I searched for a while to find it and was very happy when I did...

So, now I need a new deck to run active. I really dont have many choices so heres some options I came up with.

Kenwood KDC X997 with a JBL MS-8. I have a neighbor who has an MS-8 I can get for around 300.00. This would be around 550.00

Second choice is:

Clarion NX702. Only double din that I can find that runs active. This is around 650.00.

Id like to find a 9887 or a Pioneer PRS 99 that's in my budget but both of these are a long shot.

Oh yeah, I cant get a PRS 80 because I listen to XM way to much to not have it.

I know a Machinist / Master Fabricator where I work at and he has offered to help me (Refabricating of the Clutch Peddle will be required for this build)

I purchased these with the intention of installing these in my daily driver MDX... but due to some changes in amplifiers... I've decided to go a bit more upstream in speakers...

These have been described to me to be very similar to Dynaudio Esotec speakers. Very high quality and wonderful sounding.

I purchased these from this link:

Which Focal kit?

LittleWolf — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:41:39 GMT

Hello,
I need to replace my front tweeters/woofers with a 6,5" Focal kit with separate crossovers (4 pieces) for an easy installation. I don't want to install an amplifier but I'll link it directly to the source (Jvc or Alpine, not decided at the moment...). So I'm looking for PS 165, P 165 V15 and P 165 V30.

I know that the kit PS 165 has separated crossovers. What about the others?

On its internet site Focal suggests to take P 165 V15 or P 165 V30 if no amplifier is present while doesn't say the same for PS 165 (less expensive than the other two). It seems that P 165 V30 is very similar to PS 165 while P 165 V15 is less powerful but more efficient than the other couples.

Which is your idea? Could I have good results also with PS 165 without an amplifier (a seller told me to install a little capacitor for tweeters instead the cross to gain better sensibility)? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Ciao (this site is fantastic!)
Gianluca

Selling my 9855 and ipod adapter. Ebay listing is here Alpine CDA 9855 CD Player MP3 in Dash Receiver and KCA 420i iPod Adapter | eBay

Also willing to end the auction early for a member here if interested.

This looks useful

Abaddon — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:32:45 GMT

Found this in the shop. We use it for industrial equipment to keep noise levels down. Very dense, not very visually appealing though. It's about 1.5" Thick with a few different materials throughout. 1" front section, 1/4" rear heavy foam section, and a thin metal layer on the very back. Quite flexible.

Trying to figure out how much it costs us per square ft and who makes it.

JL Audio 450/4v2 and JL Audio 450/4

Buyer to pay actual shipping charges:

Pictures: - Unless you are a Upgraded member, or your last 10 iTrader feedbacks are positive, you must post a picture of the exact item you are selling.

I hate to sell these, but within the small confines of my setup these make it difficult to make fit.
The 450/4 is in impeccable condition. It has no scratches and plays perfectly. The 450/4v2 is new in the box, so it is perfect. Both amps are guaranteed not to arrive DOA.

I accept payment through paypal only and only ship to verified addresses.

Both amps will be insured at the buyers expense to insure they are covered in case of any shipping mishaps. However, I will package them the best as possible.

I will trade the 450/4 for a JL Audio 300/4v2. It must be brand new or appear to have never been used condition.
