I'm putting soundstream in next weekend,I have a 7 Band Parametric EQ I'm puttin in next weekend, and a Kinetik 1800. I never mentioned anything about sound quality in this thread,I realize I just want loud that doesn't sound like garbage,Maybe I gave the thread the wrong title, I should have said door speakers and rear deck because I run 4s speakers, earlier in the thread someone else said I should have gotten sound quality subs, I just stated that Fi Q's are clean sounding subs. maybe you're speaking of a different thread. To the person earlier, I have dynamat extreme, in the doors, floor, roof and trunk. I probally will be adding another layer in the future. The Q's sound fine to me I don't want bass any louder than it is.

Alright if i have my gain's set correctly on my amp which I do, then what is wrong with a bass knob? because without a bass knob if I turn my deck's EQ bass to -6 (which it pretty much stays on, unless I'm listening to Rock then I turn it up to -3) it still drowns everything out without my bass knob turned down drastically. There is no distortion on my subs, and I never turn my EQ up beyond -3. And somebody said I should have got sound quality subwoofers, You're saying Fi Q's dont have any sound quality? Because I think they sound pretty clean. Basically what I'm saying is, I want the lyrics to sound louder, and not totally be overpowered by Bass and Cymbals which is how it sound's currently if i play Rap. My Deck only has Bass and Treble for EQ, so it's kinda hard to get everything dialed in right.

I do turn it down to blend in with the front stage, but I would like to be able to have my front stage loud enough so it blends in when I got my bass knob turned all the way up I turn the bass knob to probally 1/4 turn to blend in.

I have a Soundstream TRX 4.420,it puts out 70 watts rms x 4 channels @ 4 ohms, and 105 watts rms @2 ohms.------I have 2 sets of infinity's that run at 2 ohms,1 set of 6x9s rated at 105watts rms, and 1 set of 5 1/4 componets rated @ 75 watts rms. If I added 2 more sets and wired them together ass if it was 4 seperate dual voice coil subs in series each on there own channel would each speaker get 70 watts? or would each speaker get 35 watts? or would my amp burn up, even though it can run a 2 ohm load from running 8 speakers 2 for each channel? is this possible----------------Question #2 If this is a bad idea, and I probally will not do this anyway I was just wondering If this is possible, If I turn my front gain down alot, will it be safe running my 5 1/4's @ 2 Ohms? If the gain is turned down enough, will it put out less than 75 watts? I hear alot of people saying that gain is just a way to dial in your amp, and it can put out the same power regardless, if it is set to 8 volts, or 1 volt.

just trying to get my treble and midrange to keep up with my subs

If I may ask, how come IA doesn't show their thiele parameters? I figured after reading about this long awaited release that they would want to advertise what I would imagine to be a insane SPL 1w/1meter, and I think everyone would like to know the Xmax. But since I don't think anyone will tell me the SPL and Xmax. Are they high Xmax drivers like TC Sounds and the RE XXX or low Xmax drivers like DD???????

Im thinking of building a new home sub, (cause the one I have must be tuned crazy high) The one I have is a Klipsch Synergy Series 12 here is the supposed specs;----------------------------------------------------------------------- frequency response 24-120Hz +/-3dB amplifier power FTC Rated Power: 300 watts continuous @ 1% THD, Dynamic Power: 650 watts maximum acoustic output 117dB @ 30Hz 1/8 space, 1m drive components 12" (30.5cm) fiber-composite cone, down-firing woofer amplifier BASH

Yea they can get the info off this very site, but this would be a nice hardcover book for us desktop guys you cant take on the road, to the shop, or to the store. But mostly it would be to support a SSA gathering I mean if there were 100 books bought in a year that would be enough to hold an event I would say. If some member's brough there own Termlab or something it could. Buy food to be cooked and sold to further try to not be in the hole off the whole event.

I take it noone think's this is a good idea? A. I think if it would improve the knowledge of the people who purchased the book. B. I think if it drew enough money, to support some type of SSA gathering's, It would help advertise the brand's on this forum such as, SSA, Sundown, Fi, IA etc. And most importantly the event would bring SSA member together to check each others setups out. And have a chance to get metered etc, get pointers. Sounds like a great idea to me. Maybe I'm just crazy, but when i'm taking a number 2, I would like to read about advanced enclosure's, Iron Law's etc

Two things currently when I turn my reciever way up my treble totally drowns the bass out, but mainly you can tell that the klipsch is tuned high so I want something that is Tuned way lower at like 20 hz. It's probally used about 60/40 movies/music I'm not worried about SPL in the room thats what the car is for

Funny that you said that, because I went to a local shop that swore up and down that Fi was cheap and garbage and they made cheap products and how Great MTX was and how I should buy his MTX 9500's for some crazy price like $750 for a 12. I guess that's what I like about Fi The Price to Performance ratio is crazy. They may not be the best drivers. But I think they are for the price

Also what do you need for do it you're self tower speakers? I have all Infinity speakers right now, and I've had the system for about 4 year's and I'm starting to get a little bored, plus my main speakers are kinda weak on the bass. I would like to build a Tower speaker that can handle my reciever Bi amped at 220 watts each speaker. I would like to do either for the tweeter, a horn loaded or a ribbon or a ring radiator, How do you figure out the impedence of the speakers and powerhandling of them?? I just think it would be bad a$$ to have some monster tower speakers and home sub like, Chicken's towers and all those crown amps powering them

I mainly want some really loud mids like 1000-8000hz

What exactly is a batt cap like the soundstream ones is this actually a battery with a cap attached to it or no?

I'm about at the point where I need some electrical upgrades, my car is an 04 Mustang, electrical is stock no big 3, has a Optima Yellowtop My amps Bass amp has 160 amps worth of Fuses, Treble amp has 60 amps worth of fuses. If i play songs with real long bass notes my treble cuts out, maybe its just my sh!!TY wal- mart sony amp, i have a brand new soundstream amp that I'm going to have put in here shortly. Anyway can I put a 2nd battery on the stock alt. or should i go with a 160 amp alt or a 200 amp alt or what?

I need to get a in vehicle voltage meter

yea but havent put in my soundstream 4.420 yet right now its a cheapo the 4.420 is rated at 70w x 4 rms @ 14.4volt and 105w x 4 rms @ 14.4 volt @ 2 ohms which is what infinitys run at 2 ohms, hopefully my car puts out 14.4 volts

And what is the difference between an active and passive system?

So does your highs and mids keep up with you're bass or at full tilt or does the bass still drown it out? Also if you were to have a bunch of speakers pointing up right behind a seat in a suv and then the subs pointing up behind the speakers in a suv would that cause cancelation?

What's peoples opinions on the HCCA's? I seen a website that sell's the 10's for $200 a pop I was thinking like 5 of those off a sundown 3500 would slap. (I'm debating on what to get for an SUV I don't even have yet lol)

That will be fine off my stock alt?

Anybody else want to voice there opinion on this? I think I'm going to add a Kinetik HC1400. How should it be wired?Like 0 Gauge from the Optima Batt Neg to the Kinetik batt neg, and 0 Gauge from the Optima Batt Pos to the Kinetik batt Pos? That would be Series wiring correct?Do I need a battery Isolater or a Relay?

If you're not competing in competition why would you need 4 18's, I say keep what ya got and go with 2 18's or 3 15's and that will be more enough for a daily driver

yea i don't think wal-mart brand head units are as good as panasonic

yea that's what I was thinking why would you have a wall that wasn't ported?
