    Current project log on the Stereo Integrity Cobra

    Here you can see the RCAs nicely routed away from any power wire. Can you see them? Beginnings of the sub enclosure/amprack. All the Spectrum is dried. Everything taped up and the frame is halfway done. My slick custom mount for the fuse holder. Turned out very well and...

    Current project log on the Stereo Integrity Cobra

    Let's start with the Omnifi. I think many have seen it, but here goes. I started with this. And finished with this. Perfect routing of the cable. This necessitated desoldering the wires inside the circuit board, but it was only 5 simple wires and they were spaced far enough apart...

    shifters......

    I had both the Pro5.0 and the Triax. Both have made way for the MGW. I like the overall feel of this shifter better than the others. I don't know if it's just the handle or the overall design, but it just feels better to me.

    Installed rockford bd1001 bd today.....OMG think i should get another sub now!!

    Um, I disagree. Sound Quality is user-dependant. I have used millions of different drivers and prefer some more than others, however, it's not the same for other people. Internet companies are the way to go IMO. They are cheaper than the mainstream and the value is just incredible. Granted...

    sorry another thread, but i ordered two 12" type r's today

    And I'd like to add that the biggest determining factor for power handling is the enclosure. Just because the driver says it can handle X watts, doesn't mean it can do so in every given alignment.

    sorry another thread, but i ordered two 12" type r's today

    That 3.5 ohm measurement you are getting is the coil resistance at rest. Impedance will change once the drivers are loaded into a particular alignment. I highly doubt your amp will ever see the nominal 1 ohm it should be if wiring them all in parallel during music. Perhaps with sine waves...

    Any sites that can help me about audio?

    PG still makes high end gear. The only exception to that may be the Octane R series which is made in conjunction with another not so high end company, but they are still rock-solid performers none-the-less. Their most recent offerings of the Titanium and Tantrum lines are proven performers for...

    Any sites that can help me about audio?

    Awesome site!! As for caraudio.com, you can go there, a lot of people who are new to car audio frequent there, but you also run into a lot of bad info on there. Some really good sites are Elite, like was mentioned, SSaudio.com forums, and soundillusions.net. You will find a wealth of info...

    Sub+Amp in spare tire well

    An amplifier needs some form of cooling. The most common is air cooling. You can mount the amp anywhere or anyhow you want as long as it is kept at operating temperatures. You could very well mount it to the enclsoure itself as long as it is not totally enclosed, upswide down or the heatsink...

    Sub+Amp in spare tire well

    Damn, if you didn't live in Canada, I'd build it for you and ship it your way. Fiberglass is cheap and easy to work with. Depenending on how exactly you do it, it shouldn't be a problem for a novice. I would just glass over the hump for hook, or cut it out if you want. All said and done, I...

    Put new drivers in. Does it happen when you're playing the radio or just a CD?

    Sound/Speaker problem, please help.

    Had this problem with all my SN95s. More than likely a blown speaker. The stock setup has pretty good extension down to around 43Hz. Bassblockers will not be necessary for you.

    Weird problem with my stereo

    Perhaps you have the crossover setting on low-pass therefore not allowing any high frequencies to reach the drivers.

    Leaking air around L7 and the outcome of what i call an amazing sub...

    Cut your hole right the first time and you won't have the problem. :D Also, if the hole is too big now, you may have a problem with the T-nuts, but they are the way to go. Use them on every enclosure I build.
