1975 Monte Carlo Two Phoenix Gold Saphire 12's in a bandpass box with a missing port and a wooden board over the hole where the window used to be. Must've been tuned to 55Hz or so. Rockford Punch p3001 amp Clarion Pro Audio deck (still have it.. it's been good to me) Pioneer 3-way 6x9's in...

I live in Saskatchewan, and I have 2 type-r 12's in my trunk.. what I do is just lay off the subs when its really cold. If its a -15 degree day or colder, leave the bass down so low that you can barely feel it. If it's between 0 and -15 go easy on them, but let them warm up for 20 minutes first...

I can't believe no one has said this: HU: Alpine or Pioneer Speakers: Stay the hell away from Alpine Type-R speakers! Go with infinity refrence speakers. Amp: Try to do 2 amps if possible, it will save a lot of headache. Get a 4 channel amp for your speakers (50w rms x 4 is perfect) and a 500...

If I disconnect at the amp? If I disconnect my RCA's there won't be any sound at all. And it did this before, when it was wired @ 2 ohm.

The whine is there no matter what volume, its a constant nosie, that only goes away if I drown it out with music. Now the speakers are distorting majorly at anything over normal listening levels, and my subs sound distorted, even though i've got the gains down.. I should never have tried wiring...

Ok, i've been working on my own system for quite a while now, posting on here, lurking, reading, learning, and i thought I had a pretty good idea of what i'm doing, but I guess not. See if you can figure out what my problem is here: I'm getting alternator whine and signal noise through my...

get a 150 amp fuse

Hey yall, I broke the head off my positive terminal on my capacitor. Any ideas how i can get the core of the screw out?

who's the chick in the background?

caps ground at the rear battery along with the amps.. not at the amp itself

I have a question: when wiring multiple caps together, do you wire them: + to + to amp and each (-) to the ground? or is it + to + to amp and (-) to (-) to gnd? Thanks

Those are the older models.. the new models that I have at best buy are pretty nice though.. and the JBL subs have impressed me so far.

What is the difference between 6.5's and 6x9's in terms of sound? I've heard 6.5's are more realistic?

So i got a pair of Alpine's Type-R 6x9's today: the SPR-69LP model to be exact.. And my impression was that they f-ing ****. I had a pair of old crappy pioneers that were running off HU power (17rms) that were just as loud yet refused to distort, and they FAR outperformed these type-r's for the...

pimp, thanks
