OT:A Official Car Audio Thread V.13: We measure our bass with the Richter Scale

Why you don't need a capacitor.
http://forum.realmofexcursion.com/sh...ad.php?t=17919


RMS= The "real" amount of power your subs are getting, or, the amount that your subs need to run at optimal performance, so to speak. When an amp says 2000 watts MAX, it doesn't run at that. You need to look at RMS power.

Ohms: Basic unit of resistance. 1ohm=1volt/1amp.

Wiring: When people say to "wire subs down to X amount of ohms", it means to use your resistors (voice coils) to change resistance. Amplifiers run at different power (watts) at different resistances (ohms). When resistance goes up, power goes down. This is illustrated by the equation P=V^2/R.

Forms of wiring: Series and Parallel.

Series: Having two or more resistors, take the positive from one, and a negative from the other, wire them together, then wire the remaining positive and negative to the corresponding terminals. Equation=R1+R2+R3... etc. When two resistors of equal resistance are wired in series, resistance doubles.

Parallel. Having two or more resistors, take both/all positives and wire them all together to the positive terminal. Same thing with negatives. Equation= 1/((1/r1)+(1/r2)...). When two resistors of equal resistance are wired in paralllel, resistance halves.

Voice coils: The positive and negative terminals on your subs. Dual voice coil= two pairs of positive and negative terminals.

There is MUCH more to be said, but I'm tired, and don't feel like linking...

Visit the first post, and it has links to good sites like www.the12volt.com and www.crutchfield.com.

and the port is all trimmed out now and flush with the baffle

terminal




amp (mounted now)

some second skin damplifier pro (amazing ****) on the hatch

i have carpet to carpet it, i just need $20 worth of glue and some time to smooth off all the edges and ****.

to continue on with the discussion from the last thread. i LOVE the way double bass sounds on my sub. a skylit drive, the devil wears prada, bring me the horizon, are the kind of **** i listen to on mine and they all have insane bass.
big wiggly style by the devil wears prada has a ridiculous bass drop in the beginning. and pretty much every song has dbl bass out the ***.

I really like electronica, but most of it seems to have more mid than it does low and then it's not as fun.

well im picking up a couple of sony explode subs for 50bucks..so can i have some suggestions on what amp i should buy?

and i got into a little debate with a friend about the box that the subs are in. Is there a specific way that the box has to be built in order to produce good sound?

Edit: My last 2 woofers will be here tomorrow. All i need to do is put the last 2 in, mount the top baffle, and the ports baffle. Then, mount my amp, wire it and bumppppppppp.

Who needs a trunk?:

if you want to keep your system i HIGHLY advise you take the sticker off your window.
also turn your music down around a mile before you park anywhere.
thieves will follow you and wait till you leave.

Yes, unfortunately he is.

The sticker could probably stay, its pretty small.

But, ive heard so many stories of people getting jacked at wal-mart parking lots, cause they were bumping until they parked.



How are you liking the AP15001d? Im thinking of grabbing one soon.
