experiences/thoughts/build logs on 10" SUV/hatch builds
1two3 posted a topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
Haven't had a sound system all winter and I'm ichin to get back into the game. I'm gonna be picking up my 10" d2ohm XCON pretty soon and since I haven't done a 10" build yet I was lookin for some ideas/pics/thoughts and or some nice build logs featuring a ported 10. I think imma do sub and port up leaning towards sq. Supper pumped to be back....its been too long -
I'm looking for a subwoofer and speakers to use in a 2.1 bedroom home theater/listening set up. I have in mind Using a 150-300w (Was looking at the bash 300w plate amp but not sure about if I like the auto on/off) plate or regular amp (up for debate). Info: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-750 As far as subwoofer goes, I had in mind using a 10" in a T-line specifically the soundqubed SDC 2.0. mainly because I think they look awesome, there cheap, and wouldn't mind throwing it in my car one day. Im looking for a flat responce and something that sounds good. Also up for debate. Info on amp: (10" isn't showing but here's the 8")http://www.soundqubed.com/NEW-Street-Duty-SDC20-8-D4-Subwoofer_p_69.html I have no idea which or how many speakers to use for the two towers. Aaron had some towers built (still didn't update us on how they sound nudge nudge). I could use those if anything. Thread: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/59524-21-bedroom-setup/ Receiver. No preference or idea about which one to use. Also don't know if this provides enough power to run the speakers off just the receiver. I'd like to keep everything around 500$. Plan on buying everything on black Friday. And I'd like to to sound good with decent output and low end extension down to the low 20hz. Thanks guys any info is helpful

Considering it would be much much cheaper if I just bought a complete set in leaning towards that now. I will be looking at local deals at big box stores and audio video stores alike. What are some good trustee names to look for? .... I've heard good things about klipsch and onkyo. If this is true are all of their product lines good or are there some to avoid? Also if I buy a 5.1 surround system is it possible to run it as a 2.1?

Very interesting perspective, never thought of it that way and what your saying does make sense. My sources are gonna be my ps3 (movies and games) my laptop, and iPod, and TV (cable or intena) I found an old jbl sub in my basement that I might be able to use, I can find more info/pictures latter on

Hahah I appreciate your honesty. What am I looking for that could be better? I don't see the need for more HDMI inputs and what not.....am I looking for build quality? Just asking I what makes that one such a poor option

Since I'm in canada, the sales are still gonna be a bit better on your side of the border. This will serve as a home theater as well so I'd like a half decent receiver. How bout this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882121081

alternator rewind
1two3 replied to grumby13's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
I would definately switch that around and put the AGM in back and the acid upfront. Its not safe to have a lead acid battery inside the vehicle.This x2. Perhaps another batterie/s if money is tight. Used. -

want to buy a new battery. how big does it need to be?
1two3 replied to Briggiboy33's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
I aksed one of the guys at xs power the same question and he told me that honestly there's no "true" rating that will define how good it is for audio. That being said many guys go by amp hours. Quality of the materials inside the battery make a difference as well. You get what u pay for. The bigger the numbers the better. -
Subsonic Filter on a sealed enclosure
1two3 replied to DanP's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
the human ear (depending on the person) can only hear down to 20-5ish hertz. music rarely plays below 28-30. it really doesnt matter tho, turn that puppy all the way down and volume knob all the way up! -
divider/distributor for small gauge wire?
1two3 posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
im looking into adding lights under my dash and posibly around my sub/amp in the future. i remmeber seeing somewhere on here that u can buy an adapter/distributor/divider that you would hook one end up to power (bus bar, distibution block ect.) and from there it divides into say 10 different slots that you could connect small gauge wires too and fuse them. anybody have any idea what im talking about/any idea where i could get my hands on one? -
