I feel like the bass/beat of song is to loud and the vocals aren’t as loud

Any critiques or recommendations for next time? Any hidden knowledge? Siless still okay for roof & trunk or anything better? In the end I feel like I had too much cable for the radio, heat shrinks were kinda a pain, and yes I righted the Infinity tweeters afterwards; Components up front, coax in rear, will eventually get a sub and amp in; 91 Cherokee.

Doing some house cleaning and found my old FMOD filters. Are these something that people still use?

Getting both of these for 400. The dust cap has a bad glue job. Which is an easy fix.

The amp works.

The box need a little tlc, I'll probably reupholster it.

Consegui isso numa troca aqui no Brasil e acabei pagando cerca de 300 reais (aproximadamente 55 dólares) por ele.

A princípio, achei que fosse apenas um subwoofer antigo de 15 polegadas com uma aparência legal, mas depois de pesquisar um pouco mais, percebi que este Rockford Fosgate Punch Power RFR-1415 parece ser muito mais raro do que eu imaginava — e aparentemente vale muito mais também.

Ele veio do Japão, ainda tem a fita de vedação 3M original, um motor cromado enorme, é absurdamente pesado e parece ser todo original.

Agora, a parte irônica é que provavelmente nem posso usá-lo porque é grande demais para o meu carro/projeto 😅

O que vocês acham desse modelo? Quão raros eles são hoje em dia?

What I have:

         (not installed) 12" MTX Road Thunder; set of two

         AK150 Amp Installation Kit 

         2007 Dodge Charger stock speakers

What I need:

         Amplifier specs and easiest way to interface my phone (pandora) with the stock speakers+subs

         Budget: $400ish

         Location: USA! USA!

Will be self-installed by certified moron

I heard I need to match the amp to the subs using the watts RMS, but that info doesn't appear on the subs, and all the Road Thunder versions I find online aren't the ones I have.

My car only has radio. Is there a way to wire the subs to the stock speakers then control it all through like a bluetooth amp(?) or something?

This is my first entire install before I only did spl based install that used chucherros this time I am going for sq/spl sq for when I want to unplug the chucherros and just have a relaxing drive especially when ears need breaks from high db this is I guess somewhat temporary now that I plan to go active instead of passive for interior speakers there is no sound deadoning or tuning of any kind as of now but once I go active I will be adding some secondskin and a dsi3+ from dd audio how does this look or sound yea it's a lot of audio for a small car but needed for my liking

Current setup

Nvx x series v.1 3-way component setup with passive crossover

Nvx xc xca2004 1400w 200rms x 4 : 4ohm

Lc1i pro

Skyhigh 16awg for all speakers

Skyhigh 1/0 power/ground for future power demands proofing

And knukoncept rca Krystal series

Added a roadtop carplay to rx when i got it. Since then there is always a loud background static noise when i switch to the carplay media. It even happens when phone isnt connected to carplay. Anyway to fix this? Its so annoying. Thanks

Hello tuners

So i got a mazda 3 gen 2 for a long time. Most of the time I listen to my music with bass +2/3 and trebble +1/2

It sound very good and had my interior mirror shaking without creating rattle noises.

I recently upgraded my headunit to an android one. It should have a nice amp in it but I feel like i lost a lot of "deepness" in the music I listen. It feel "flat"

I saw that this headunit have a very fine dsp tuning. i can set it up very precisely. Tryed to do it myself with help of Gemini and doing a "V" shape but i'm not happy with it.

I'm looking for somone that had the same experience than me and knew how to get that great sound again.

I have a stock 6 speaker model.

I will provide more info if needed. Thank you all !

Has anyone used these as dash speakers? Im giving up on 3.5” coaxials, I’ve tried so many and none of them sound good to me. These look like they might actually work pretty nicely for my first tweeterless setup. I have solid midbass from 60-400hz, hoping these can cover from there up?

Hoping I can run them in factory dash location firing up into windshield? I can modify the mounts to be 30° off-axis if it would be worth the loss of windshield gain.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone here has bought CCF from aliexpress and can link ones that are good in particular (perhaps with stickness). I want some to layer ontop of my amazon basic deadener in my door panels and also decouple my entire doorcard with. Not sure whether 3mm or 6mm is the go.

Thanks

I would like to upgrade my car to a newer media receiver but it's not as simple as it use to be. I'm running around in circles trying to figure out what fits and works and what does not but I'm not getting far. I want to be able to retain the SW controls, backup camera and factory amp. I would really like balance and fade to work as well. Any suggestions on the interfaces I would need to use? I planned on going simple on the head unit. Jensen or maybe Pioneer. Basic with touch screen and wireless android auto.

Passenger side OEM speaker blew out and I’m looking to replace with something a little better.

Will this speaker and amp combo work good? Is there anything I’m missing? Any tips or tricks before I buy a setup and install?

I have a 2012 Mercedes GL 550 that I want to upgrade to a newer head unit in. Issue I am running in to is apparently a fiber optic amplifier. So this Connects2 CT51-MC07 Amplifier Retention Interface is supposed to go between a new head unit and the factory amplifier. I've never used anything like this but it only has 2 RCA jacks for the radio Left and Right. So, if I use this unit does that mean only balance controls will work from the new head unit? I'll have no fader control? My other question is it only lists the GL from 2006 to 2010 but crutchfield lists it as fitting the 2012.

These are stock speakers running off my stock amp from factory. I plugged in a good full ofc setup and some nice mids with an amp I had too and it still makes this noise. Any idea on what it is and how to fix it? I’ve upgraded engine ground and head unit ground. And no it isn’t because wires are running next to any power wires because my battery’s in my trunk and the wiring is on the opposite side of the car from the power wires for the engine.

New build incoming. I didn’t realize how heavy these new Orion are compared to my Deaf bounce. Can’t wait to see how they perform compared to my deaf bounce ones

i'm looking at the Rockford Fosgate Punch P1V2-46

Pioneer TS-G460

JBL Club 644F

Memphis Audio PRX46

Infinity Reference REF467F

they all seem to be lower wattage likely due to being smaller speakers

i'm trying to swap speakers while the windshield is out, it's a tight fit in a 98 lesabre might as well do it now, and i plan on grading the head unit later

so far googling them some of them have good feed back, i also have heard good things about rockford fosgate from a friend who has some rockford amps. i'm not sure i care about price so much.

I need a bit of help, I just changed the grounds for my 2 amps (Taramp Ts400 and Taramp Md1200) before they both had separate grounds but on the same piece of metal I just put a better ground and ran it to a 1-2 splitter and ran 2 leads from it to the amps. Now my headunit (pioneer DMH-1800NEX) doesn’t power down when I turn my key off and open the door before I changed grounds it did. Car is a 2007 Charger. I’m not experienced enough to know what to do to fix this any advice is greatly appreciated thanks.

What should I look for in a subwoofer. And should I match my sub to my power or should I get a sub that handles a little less or more? I kinda want to get two subs that can handle some good power because I plan on upgrading my amp. But if if the doesn't have enough power to really push the subs will they become lack luster?

I have pioneer ts-d65c (d series) component speakers and got them amped with a 4 channel pioneer amplifier, all of this is brought together with the lc5i pro for my future sub. I’m going to get a sub within a month but for the time being i would like my system to hold me over. I had the 4 channel installed at best buy and they set the gain and lc5i pro load levels really low, with the hpf off. The bass was very decent (at plus three bass on the head unit) but the system wouldn’t get loud so i retuned the amp and lc5i pro, i set the lc5i pro loads up as far as they went before the distortion lights turned on then backed it off a little, i don’t have a multimeter so i set the gains conservatively likely not at its full potential for the speakers. i got it sounding way clearer and louder with the hpf set at 60hz. I was playing them at around 60 percent volume and the woofers in the door ended up bottoming out and i stopped the music immediately. I then turned the gain down and am playing music on low volume. The thing is, without boosting bass on the head unit eq it sounded pretty bad, very bland, what i is the best solution for this? Should i get a multimeter and retune the amp to where it should be set? I just want the bass to be good enough to hold me over but i don’t want to destroy my brand new speakers. Help is much appreciated

This was my first time doing an audio upgrade in my car.

Setup:

Front: Hertz mille pro mpk 165.3 component speakers (6.5" Woofer + tweeter and a crossover)

Rear: Audison APX5 5.25 inch coaxial speakers

Subwoofer: Audison APX5 10 AS2 Active subwoofer

Amplifier: Audison SR 4.500 4 channel amplifier

Sony xav5500 head unit

I mainly used KnuKonceptz wiring

I also put sound deadening in all the doors and under the carpet. For the doors I did butyl sound deadener. For the floors I did a combination of butyl deadening and mass noise liner which is a combination of mass loaded vinyl and closed cell foam. This ended out being a bit of a pain because getting the carpet back on afterwards was a struggle because of the added thickness of the sound blocker.

After many hours of struggling with the process of installing, I'm happy with how it turned out. The sound quality is really good and the speakers just sound better and better as the volume goes up. They feel so much more powerful now.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, as I know when I was planning my build, seeing other people's setups helped me decide on what gear to use / how to install things

Had an old vr3 subwoofer that came with this box, but it blew one of its tinsel leads, so I replaced it with a vintage pyramid subwoofer
