have a jl 6 channel amp And cdt audio 6.5 components. the right front speaker sounds fine. the left front is very quiet and when the input level is turned up is stays quiet and gets distorted. i have changed all the wires. Interchanged the cross overs. I have tried every channel on my amp. i have even tried changing speakers and the same results. I don't think there is any thing else that could be the problem. Every thing else works fine. If you hook up the speaker directly to the amp it is fine. But with the crossover it does not. When you first hook up the speaker it gives a little loud burst of noise and then gets quiet again. I don't understand it. Can anyone give me any other things to look at. i have tried changing every cable.... I am so pissed. There is no reason for it not to work... i have had these speaker for years without problems

i am only using it for a little while i am not looking to spend any more money.

Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about Alpine type x components. What would be better for the money??

Looking to to put in a multi zone system in my basement and eventually a movie theater. I want a book that explains the basics and advanced stuff. Any ideas????

Thanks for the help I will try that tommrow

My picture coming out of my receiver is very dull. When i use coax cable straight out of the cable box it is ok ,but i need to use my receiver. I was thinking it was some where in my Rca's so i want to adapt them to hdmi. Does anyone know of one? Or do you have any ideas?

My problem is that when i run coax cable to my tv the picture is great ,but when i run component rca into and out of my reciever the picture gets dull and dim. What would you suggest??

Nothing to crazy. I probably just want more basic stuff so i can get the job done. It is not going to be a concert hall.

I am doing my basement with multi zone audio and i want to do a movie theater room. Does anyone know of any good book to explain everything form basic to what ever

I was wondering how much of RAAMmat BXT would i need for my 2005 explorer.

I Not shure howmuch i plan on doing it just depends on how much i can get for the money. I probably trying to keep the cost around $300

I was looking at a set of new ones ,but don't think they are right for me. I was looking at the CDT HD series. What do you think.

I just got a 05 explorer and i want to put a new system in it. I have a good budget but nothing to crazy. I have 2 Re Audio SX 12in Subs that are going in there and My Kenwood head unit. Besides that i sold everything. I am willing to sell my JL amps ( 2- 500/1 and a 300/4). I would like about 750rms going to each sub. I liked my cdt audio components i used to have but i don't know which ones would be best for the money or to get a different brand... i am open to all ideas. I was wanting to put 2 sets of 6.5's and a extra set of 5.25 or 4.5's in the front ,but its just an thought. What do you think????

No i want to run a set of 6.5 and a another set. This is all just an idea. If you think it is a bad idea then what should i do??

Does anybody have any good suggestions on Car Audio Books. More advanced stuff.

I am selling my lightning for an SUV. The main reason is because i am going to start a stereo shop in town. My whole reason for the new build is so i can have somthing to show off. I want your guys opionion about everything because i am new to the game and i know you guys are some of the best around and have a crap load more experience about anything audio than i do. Let me first say that i might not be the best when it comes to audio. I do infact like every aspect of it. I am 18, I Have and drive for my own race team and have a couple employees twice my age. I have built over 30 race cars and i can do pretty much anything with metal. Well when it comes to wood i am a flat out rookie. The only way i am going to learn how to do it well is to do it an make mistakes. My old system was 1- RE Audio SX 12in in a 2.6cu ported box 2- JL audio 500/1 1- JL 300/4 2- cdt Cl 62 coponents 2- Rockford power coponents Kenwood Flip out head unit My budget is not unlimited ,but like i said i want some nice stuff and i know it cost money so i don't mind putting another $2500 into the allready system. I was thinking of getting another 12 SX and selling the JL 500's for 2 used 1000/1 JL amps. ( i was amazed with how 1 sounded so i would be happy with 2. i also like Jl amps for the price i think they are very high quaility.) I want to keep the amps the same brand so i was thinking of getting a 450/4. with my 300/4 i think that would be good power for the coponents. i have always liked Alpine and i know that there type X coponents on ebay are a reasonable price. i wanted to get 2 sets of 6.5 coponents and 2 sets of 5.25 coponents???? i don't know if they are a good choice ,but i do know everything they put out is really nice. This is a start about the ideas that i have so i am shure you have have some feedback on that. Feel free to make any suggestion that you want. I don't mind starting completely over because i know i can easyily sell everthing i have for more than i paied for it.

I was doing some reashearch on some audio distributor's. Does anyone know of any good ones or have any experience dealing with them??? Just trying to figure some stuff.

I was thinking of getting 3 RE SX 12's with 2 sundown amps. The box would be huge. Maybe the center sub could be inverted???? Any thought's???

I get what you are saying. I want to do this build before i get into making decisons on the store because in some ways i want to make shure that it is really what i want to do. I am hoping to get the store up and running in 3 to 4 months. This build is in some ways is to try out a few friends that are interested in helping out with getting this project under way. They say they want to help and be involved but until they do i still want to cover all bases. It is also good experience for me. I haven't done many custom install's. I want to know excatly what i need to do before i get into anything. In my mind i have only one shot for this "store idea" to work so i want to take my time and do it right. Who knows... Maybe by then i will have a different car and do another build. I know that is sounds like a am a total Amateur. When it comes to the details of doing a high end install i am no expert. All i know is what i think makes sense and most of what i would do might be very wrong. What i am a not a Amateur in is Buiness. i am a senior in high school and last year i pulled in $50,000... The only problem i spent $75,000. I know this market and how to play it. The only peice to the puzzle that is missing is finding the experts to help me with the other side of things. That is why i want to put some money in to a build and see who can help. Lets see who can back up what they say.

I am not really shure excatly what brands that i am going to have. I am going to try to focus on some of the more inexpensive brands ,but i know that the first step would be to build something to have to my name. If i want to change out the coponents later i can always do that ,but for right know i need to get something built.

Make a suggestion. I have my 2 500's on the 1 SX and it was a great package. I bought those amps for $250. I can get a 1000 for about $450 to 500. I like sundown and us amps ,but i don't have the money to spend $2000 on sub amps. So what would you get

would it be possibile to run my jl 500/1 to 4 coponents and a set of tweeters. i would have to turn down the gains ,but would it be a good or a bad idea to even try somthing like that.

Looking at a set of used CDT CL-61 6.5. They come with tweeters and crossovers too. What to you guys think. How good will they sound?? i listen to old school rock and rap.

the set i am looking at is 6 months old and i could get them for $75 to $100. Yes it has the 1in tweeter. what would your price be.

What is so bad about doing it. i would like to know for my own knowledge.
