    random audio question

    but would it blow the sub with the correct rms? How would it blow up a sub, please explain this one. A box doesnt damage a sub, the user and how it controls it messes up equipment.

    Infinity Kappa vs RE

    If you are one of those individuals looking for balls out loud and clear midranges then I have some for sale so check out my for sale thread, they will blow those infinity kappas out the water (I had both so I know, not making a statement out my ass).

    Going Active

    As for the process of going Active I understand that part, my definition of going active is letting your headunit, processor or amp's crossover capabilities control the speakers frequency range. Instead of using one speaker to play a wide range of frequencies you can split them up into a 2-way sytem (midbass/midrange and tweeters) or 3-way system (midbass, midrange and tweeters); where each speaker plays its own certain frequency range such as midbass, midrange and highs. That is my simple understanding of going active and not the best or most accurate definition. Now onto the question at hand I use Eminence Alpha-6a for now on my Sundown SAX-125.2 (2 per channel) and they ran on high pass filter from 300/500Hz on up. I noticed that when I messed around with the Subsonic on the amp it changed the sound that the speakers put out. After talking to Jacob he said "Subsonic is always active - so it will increase the slope of the high pass within it's range. The subsonic is just another HPF filter -- it makes the cut-off steeper starting at where the knob is set." After he told me this I asked for the dumb downed version of it so a beginner like my self in going active would have a better understanding, then he said it cuts out more low frequency stuff. I kinda want to know the why and how it does this, do you use the 10-500Hz frequency range(that the Subsonic filter can be set at) as a guide or is that totally irrelevant So anybody who will take some time in breaking this down further for a more broad scope so I can get a better feeling for active and what happens when you make adjustments by turning the subsonic filter knob? I actually want some experience people to help me and no guesses or what you think it is, so this topic wont become cluttered with opinions just facts.

    Going Active

    Did you read through the entire thread, if so then it is answered for you. If not then please take the time to read through the entire thread thanks.

    Running Active with a 100.4

    It has nothing to do with power going to drivers, they receive the same amount of power whether passive or active. If you are going to take the time and effort to learn how to do it and tune it to your liking than yes it can give you more control and accuracy. Basically your just breaking down the speakers into 2 or 3 different one's (tweeer, midrange and/or midbass). You can control what speaker gets what frequencies and you use your own crossovers to control them (such as: headunit, amp or external processor/equalizer) instead of using provided crossovers that come with component speakers. Thats just a brief description.

    Polyfill in a ported box

    I personally dont understand why you want pictures of 4/0 AWG, what benefit will that do. Just imagine 1/0 AWG bigger, a lot bigger. Nobody is posting topics with pictures of wire so that is why you arent getting any hits.

    My fault fellas, fixed*.

    Infinity Kappa vs RE

    This thread was complete nothing when it was started, interior speakers will have a hard time keeping up with bass period (especially the more power you have on the subs which causes more spl in the long run). You need to find speakers that fit your listening preference and if you want balls out loud then there are different routes to go about gettting that such as ID Horns.

    Polyfill in a ported box

    If your not getting the search you want then one day take some time like I have done on plenty occasions and just got through all the pages under the thread and see if any topics stand out to you and read them. This will take up a lot of time, but well worth the effort and knowlegde to find something that answers alot of your questions without you making a topic about it.

    Running Active with a 100.4

    Yeah run he Horns at 1,200hz at on the high pass filter and the midbass from 80-1,200 hz on the low pass filter. It depends if your gonna use some other eq device to contol the channels. If not then just get one pair of rca's and some y splitters and you will be fine.

    cadence txa750d

    thanks i kinda seen it coming .when i read the manual after i got them and found out that the amps when bridged together wont do under 2 ohms. so i dont know if its worth buying new subs or new amps. i never bought cadence amps before.so i dont know if they are even worth the trouble. i had a kicker 750.1 on them but its the same thing it wont go under 2 ohms,same with my kicker 550.3. Do you think these cadence amps will push 3 alpine type rs? Yeah they will push them if you strap them and wire the subs like this:
  13. Personally I wouldnt use it unless you put a cd in or mp3 player on the headunit and it has horrible quality and if so then just do level 1 but you gotta remember to turn in off when done. Just my .02
  14. I have never messed with it so I cant comment. To me it looks like if your playing a burnt cd or mp3 player it will help with the sound quality but from the video I cant tell if it is a boost or not. Hopefully someone will chime in on this.

    cadence txa750d

    Yeah the amps are good but not for your purpose, regardless of how you wire it you still wont the get the best out of the subs. I would wire them to one amp @ 1ohm for the safety of the amps and so you can sell them in the future.
  16. jcarter1885

    cadence txa750d

    I would probably just run one amplifier to both subs for a one ohm load and try to sell the other amp, then get another one and sell the second amp for my change. But that one amp will be fine on those subs as long as you dont send a clipped signal since there is no such thing as underpowering.

    I have also been getting interested in revolvers lately also the last time I looked at guns.

    Yeah Im getting a Mossberg pump for the house but also want some thing that I can carry or conceal if need be.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I try to eat a lot of veggies when I do instead of filling myself up with meat when I eat now. I have been treating my body better lately and can tell in my health among other things. I just gotta to work out more but I never been big on working out except for a lot of push-ups and cardio (running, walking or basketball) when the temperature is nice since I hate being in cold weather.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Ok gotcha, so when it comes to caliber you should decide that on personal preference and which one you can have more control and accuracy when aiming for a target.
  21. jcarter1885

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Yeah I definitely will do that just wanted to know what advantages a caliber might have over the other thats all if any.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    What are the pros and cons of a 9mm, .40 caliber and .45 caliber (I know the size of the bullet is different)? Thanks plus I more of a compact gun size person, not too small or too big.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Eat 12 cups of veggies a day Interesting. I'll have to bet some veggies. The thing is, the only veggies I really like are carrots, Cucumbers, and tomatoes(even though they're a fruit). Would upping my fruit intake help too. without working out? Just add protein. boiled chicken or shakes every 3 hours. You'll drop crap loads of fat ASAP. There isn't a drug made that is as effective that is also legal. I've tried them all, and ones that no longer are. I've been cutting down carbs so that's helped a bit. I am going to try to make time to work out. I come from a family who is big into lifting. My dad is a competitive powerlifter. He could teach me a thing or two in the gym. He's about my height, 5'8" but like a little under 300 lbs. 22" biceps, at his peak he was benching 635, that was before his surgery. Now he lifts a little lighter which is still a lot! Yeah fruit will help some but I dont know if it will have that great of an effect. I eat a banana and orange a day and sometimes throw a can of pineapples in there a couple days out the week. My immune and digestive system love the fruit intake.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I been thinking about going that route lately, I want to get more serious about guns and gun control. I dont want to just have one but not know the ins and outs, so this next purchase will be followed with classes and such.
