Re: Audiobahn ?'s

Sorry i figured anyone who has been around LCD HU's would understand the TFT thing.

In-Dash 7" Touchscreen TFT-LCD Monitor with DVD, Multimedia CD/MP3 Playback

Not really an abbreviation just me being a little lazy.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

yeah, most laptop screens and mobile phone screens are TFT, a type of LCD monitor. Thin Film Transistor.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

no, you can put as many speakers on a single channel amp as you want, as long as the impedance is at an acceptable value.
ex: 1000 4 ohm speakers wired in a series paralell config to achieve a 4 ohm load on an amp that is stable at 4 ohms.
You must also take into account the amount of power your amp will push at that load and the power handleing of the speakers.
ex(same setup as previous, 1000 speakers on one amp): the amp will push 1000 watts at 4 ohms and the speakers can each handle 1 watt.
all of that power is divided by the amount of speakers on the amp.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

build a nice enclosure, get some sound-deadening, and you've got the bass covered. if you in the future you want to invest more, switch in new comps up front, maybe some new coax's for rear-fill if you want, a 4-ch amp, and more sound-dead.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

Thats going to be so incredibly loud. You will think its cool for a few months then get sick of it. Why dont you get some accurate smaller subs that actually sound like real instruments.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

i'm sorry if its been covered, but, what kind of music do you listen to? alphalanos is right, I usually listen to metal in my car, so bass booming isn't the route to go. Even hip hop, its fun (for a while) but actually sounds better when everything is leveled out.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

it usually sounds best when the subs are set about 6-10 dB above the mid/tweet level ..... most boom cars are more like 25-50 dB above avg level.

Re: Audiobahn ?'s

Its even better when they invest all there money in the HU, amps, and subs and just run there speakers off the HU. SOunds like a fart box on wheels.
