Hey, I'm looking into those speakers from outdoorspeakerdepot and was wondering your thoughts on them, also which model you ordered. Thanks.

I would snag those atom's if you are willing to part it out, but otherwise good luck selling, I have the same system and you can't beat it for 400 bucks

Get a radioshack SPL meter, its like 35-40 bucks, get a cd of test tones with tones at each frequency your eq can adjust. Play each tone and record the level, and then adjust them flat. Most people will not like a dead flat reponse, so a smiley face may be possibly (increase low end gradually...

WinISD Pro, its free, search on google.

I'll take the radioshack meter assuming it is still in good working order and is still accurate, let me know, email address is [email protected]

Twist it with pliers the best you can, then solder it and it won't go anywhere.

You put the foam on the walls of the enclosure, cover all of them. Then if you would like you can stuff it with a bit of polyfill, but you most likely won't need any or much. All polyfill does is trick the sub into thinking its in a bigger box by slowing the waves (actually more complicated, but...

I would personally recomend the vinyl from parts express. It is extremely simple to apply, and looks damn good if you put a bit of time into it. It took me about 25 minutes to apply completely, and is very cheap.

Unhook your sub and use a volt-ohm-meter to see if anything is coming out of the outputs (set it to AC). Are your gains set high? Did you check the ground (It wouldn't light up at all if it wasn't grounded, but it could be loose and that could have caused the amp to blow) Where any wires loose...

^^ Although typically a sealed box will give you a flatter reponse than a ported sub it is a misconception. A properly designed ported box will yield nearly the exact same sound quality while allowing a theoretical 3db increase.

:) Those stereo stores trying to make a buck once more *sigh* Those are not poor subs, but not necessarily sound quality subs. I figure he is charging you about 150 for one of them? They are anything but the audiophile sub though. As far as DVC and SVC go they denote the number of voice coils...

Maybe toy with the x-overs on the amp? Otherwise it is most likely in the install. Where are the tweets mounted? All cars are different and theres a good chance that z may like something different. If its too harsh reflect them off the windshield. You should not be eq'ing yet when you are having...

You're very welcome, if it doesn't seem to be the ground, which I have a feeling isn't the problem, see if you can get your hands on another amp and if that will fix the problem. Good luck.

I would personally get them from Infinity, I have had excellent expereinces with their CS recently, and would atleast give it a shot to try and get a new x-over. Building your own is very difficult, the x-over is really what determines the sound of the speakers, and the engineers at infinity...

Bah, theres better for the money. But that is beside the point, don't spend money on new equipment until you know its the equipments problem. Check the ground on the amp, is it tight up against bare metal? Are all the connections tight in the amp, are the speaker wires loose at all or oxidized...
