Wiring Help
johnecon2001 replied to vanquish's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
How much depends on how much you need. Grab a measuring tape and figure out your path from your front battery to your amp. Buy the amount plus a little extra (2-3ft). 1/0awg would be ideal, especially in case you ever upgrade. -
How much room do you have?

Who are you responding to Dr. Johnson? We like the atmosphere on SSA to be chill. Rugdnit was a little out of line.

Large band EQs
johnecon2001 replied to shizzzon's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
W205 right? Get the PXA-H701 if you want a good EQ. Probably overkill, but you might as well. And if you still don't have enough gain, get a line driver. Or a more efficient amplifier. -
Oh dear god. Not this isht again.

Why not just keep the EQ at the HU flat.. -
Designing a 3 way front stage.
johnecon2001 replied to kickerlivinloud's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
you can't really go from 2-way active to 3-way active without changing the lowend driver to something different. What you might get away with is a 7-8" mid and a 1-2" tweet for your 2-way. Then just add a 3" midrange later on down the road and change the crossover points. Of course this is going to require an extremely versatile 7-8" driver. -
Fancy pants.

Your tuning is fine but that box is under what Fi recommends you use. That probably isn't a real smart move. Try 3^3ft @ 33hz

I told you before, cutting frequencies out like that is going to sound horrible. It won't be anywhere near "SQL" -
I think we're about done here.

ahhh my friend, you are in luck. There is a Deka Intimidator Group Buy on Realm of Excursion right now. http://forum.realmofexcursion.com/showthread.php?t=46014 The link to buy the batteries is here PM the group buy coordinator for the 10% off code. I'd take these over Kinetics any day. I ordered one of the 9A31's for my truck.

"SQL" rofl I'd still say stick with 2 way for now, and if you really like the whole Active + SQ realm, then we can help with a gear list. Usually with a 3-way system you have your tweet (ranging in size from 1"-2"), your midrange(3"-4") and your midbass (often times a 7"-10"). These are just generalizations, there are other sizes people use, but these are the most common.

I love local shops. they provide daily humor for me.

There's a smiley for that Sub looks big tho, yet another one to add to your collection Baccus?
-
You need another two channels.. might just stick with 2-way active for simplicity sake.

399 Euros = 613.26300 US$ currently.

Not necessarily. Dual 2 ohm coils will read 1.5ohms DCR. The coils are fine.

lol, and here I thought something was wrong.

johnecon2001 replied to kickerlivinloud's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
That opens up a lot more options as far as processing goes. You could find a CD8053 (3-way active or 2-way + sub). Or any number of smaller outboard pieces. Audio control makes a few good ones as does Arc Audio. I'll be using the Alpine PXA-H701 with my IVA-W205, even though I'll only be running 2-way active. It's just a nice piece that keeps everything digital until the amps. -
Subwoofer aiming varies car to car. It does matter where you point it, but only you and a meter will be able to decide which way is louder. Moving to SPL & SQ / Competition & Fabrication
