Headunit doesn't fit?
fobanginvtek replied to fobanginvtek's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
take some pics and post them! that mite give us an idea on whats going on. also did you make sure you have the right dash kit? take it to ur local best buy they might charge like $20-30 and just let them do it. i know its VERY easy to do but if you let them break it then they have to fix it Yeah i was thinking of going to Best Buy. I think its too much of a hassle, plus its such a bitch to get the headunit fitting RIGHT. I think im going to take my car there tomorrow. thanks! -
Headunit doesn't fit?
fobanginvtek posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Driving a 03' bmw 325i sedan, have a JVC KD-AVx77 and it doesn't fit. The dash kit I purchased doesn't even fit it. I also think that the panel that goes over the dash kit doesnt even fit the unit either. Anyone know what I can do? Am I going to have to customize it? -
Well i got my system together ( needs some minor adjustments here and there). Running a jvc KD-avx77 to my kicker zx750.1 amp, and to my Fi SSD12 with copper coil option. I wired it in parallel but then my amp went into protection mode and i didnt even really turn up the gain much. Should I wire it in series? My sub has the DVC option
-
dual 4 ohm. i think i need to wire in series... Fi's only come in dual 1 or dual 2 Since the amp whet into protect the coils are dual 1 and you had it wired to that amp at an .50 an ohm. Run it in series and you get a 2 ohm load and you'll be good. x2 I was only thinking about mainstream subs(I meant dual 1 or 2 ohms) Oh ok thanks, i have the Dual 2. thats what i was thinkin at first

I just got my brand new JVC KD-AVX77 in today. Got all the supplies needed and hooked it all up properly. *soldering and heat shrink. The unit itself works fine, but no sound at all! No sound is being projecting through the speakers. I put in my stock headunit and it works fine. Anyone know what the issue is? I matched up all the connections. I called JVC and someone told me to connect all the reds and yellows and connect them together............can someone help? I need this done today! Thanks

Does anyone have pics of all the different color dustcaps you can get for the Fi subs? Im getting a Fi SSD 12'' and looking to see what looks good. Thanks

single din flip out for my 04' bmw 3 series
fobanginvtek posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Hey guys Im looking for a single din flip out for my car. Reason why I am choosing a flip out is because I have limited space, and still want my A/C. I could put in a double din below it but I dont want to do that. I am looking for a NAVI/GPS h/u with basic features, cd/dvd. I don't want to spend a fortune on it. My price limit is about $700. So far after some research, I am looking at a Pionner AVIC-n4 or n5. Anyone have any input on whats a good h/u? Brands? Thanks! -
Hey guys Im looking to buy a JL w3v3-2ohm 10'' in my car. I have a 04' BMW 3 series sedan now. I will be getting a custom box so it fits snug somewhere (not moving around everywhere). I currently have my kicker zx750.1 amp, do you think this will be a good match for it? Or do you recommend the 4ohm version? Running just a 4 gauge to it, and looking for some decent CLEAN bass to satisfy everyone in my car =D

fobanginvtek replied to fobanginvtek's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
i was just looking at that about 10 minutes ago lol. I been researching that and haven't heard so many great reviews on that unit. I dont see much people with experience with it also. Do you have that? -
Is Focal a good component system?
fobanginvtek replied to bigrank916's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
i doubt best buy will be selling focal any time soon. Focal isn't so overrated, they are simply great quality comp speakers. I am looking to get some focal comps very soon for my car. or you should look into some infinity kappas -
Amp gain
fobanginvtek replied to fobanginvtek's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
You cannot generalize like this. Every amp and head unit combination will yield a different gain setting. The gain is set to match the head unit's voltage. That's it. If you have a head unit that puts out 6 volts and your amp's gain goes from 0.5-6 volts, you'll need to have the gain completely down. If the head unit puts out .5 volts, you may need to have it all the way up. Setting the phase to 150 is also generalized, and 99% of the time will be incorrect. You set the phase of the sub to match the interior speakers and what sounds best. Every vehicle will be different in its acoustics, as will every sub/box combo and interior speaker relationships. It doesn't matter if you have two subs, they will always be in phase with each other as long as you wired them correctly, and they should be. If you wire one out of phase with the other in the same box, it won't work. It's just like switching polarity on interior speakers to get them to sound right with each other. thanks for clearing this up for me. -
Ok so I tried using the search engine (not working for me). But what is the specific duty of the gain on the amp? How should I adjust it? I heard I am supposed to match the volts with my head unit preout volts? I bump the system daily. Also if you need more info on my setup its in my sig.

bacon tomato lettuce is the way to go.

My budget for 2way comps are about $200..not even tryin to get that high either lol. NO JOB! so maybe around $150. thats why i was checkin out the TMA's
-
Anyone have any reviews/personal experience with em? There a new line off JL. Inexpensive and looking into it. I dont want bright tweeters. And I heard a review that these dont get bright.
-
Not just loookin for tweets, whole comp 2way set. But was lookin into Focal, MB Quart, and Infiniti Kappas
-
These are really cheap though. And havent heard much from them cuz there so new, and ive read and heard lots of reviews from alot other companys. Just seeing what these can handle!

Amp gain
fobanginvtek replied to fobanginvtek's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
yeah i tuned it earlier. Just dont get what the subsonic does, or the Phase. I was told to set the Phase to 150 though -
Amp gain
fobanginvtek replied to fobanginvtek's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Yea I heard its set to atleast, or no more than half? Any info on the Subsonic? what kind of amp do you have?..what you running it to? check the signature -

Does anyone have any experience ordering from www.cartronixplus.com ? I know they basically have the lowest prices available, not too big a variety and most of it is sold out but really cheap! Anyone know if there legit? Warranty? any of that stuff?
-
What do you guys think I should do, just a pair of 2 way comps, or should I also get some 6x9's in the back as well? Some people say just the fronts matter, but some others say to get rears as well. I drive a 07 camry ce. Let me know your guys opinions. I want to hit mids and highs with crisp clear sound. Listen to mainly rap/hiphop/funk.
-
Ok cool, cuz i went to a site called 86th street photo and video, and they got CHEAP prices but are a scam and treat you like chit. Glad to hear cartronix is legit...thanks! DO they ever update their website? Because it usually always says Sold Out, but i havent tried calling to see if its in stock or not.
