i need a sub.....i got a Kenwood amp 300W peak (bridged) 2ohms..n e suggestions?.......

Tell me what you want. 1 10" sub, 2 10" subs? If you want some bass but not overkill, I have a JL Audio power wedge enclosure that has 2 JL 10" subs already in it...for you $260.00...let me know...

Maximadave

no budget.........after spending $70+ of wires, and $100 for my friend`s amp=no money 4 a long time.......and accidenlty shorted my amp....took it for repare today....i had it for like 26 hours before i broke it.......:( ;) :D

i was thinking about getting an amp and a sub for my car.
i just want some bass and definitely not an overkill.
what would be a good set-up? i already have a panassonic headunit but that's it as far as my stereos are concerned..

bobo and irvine: Go with the JL Audio CS210RWO enclosure. It has 2 10" JL subs in it and will run well with your Kenwood amp bobo. Go with the same setup irvine, The enclosure goes for $260.00 complete and go with a sub amp by Kenwood like the KAC819. It pumps out 150 watts per sub for $180.00. Let me know on what you think.

Maximadave

i was lookin to buy a kenwood kdc-mp8017. you know anything bout it and what kinda bucks we talkin bout???? thanks

$327.00 for the Kenwood KDCMP8017 you can see it plus features at
www.kenwoodusa.com

hey dave, i am interested in getting a pair of 12" jl w6's. whats your price on these and what amp do you recomend to go with these.

The JL W6's have been discontinued for a while but JL still has them in stock as a special order or as a replacement. The JL W3's are basically the replacement for the W6. Go with 2 JL 12W3D4's at $159.99 each and the best amp out there would be the JL 500/1 500 watt mono block subwoofer amp. I'm running the 250/1 to a 10W3 and it pounds like crazy...you can check them out at www.jlaudio.com On the 500/1 you are looking at $499.00. Check to see if there is a Tweeter store near you to pick them up...let me know what you find out.

Maximadave

Maximadave, I'll check with you when next time I look to get audio equipment.

do you have any news when the W7 will be released???

The JL W7's were suppose to hit my warehouse today according to JL Audio's purchase order...I will reply to this post the day they arrive. I can't wait to hook 'em up!!!.......I'll talk to you soon MaxRX7 when you are ready...just email me at [email protected] guys...

Maximadave

Sorry click on this one [email protected] when you are ready MaxRX7...later

Maximadave

Hey Dave, I hear you are the man to ask about cd changers for a Maxima. I have a 1997 Maxima GLE with the Bose system and I want to get a 12 disc changer. I dont want the stock model and I dont want any RF crap. My question is, are there any 12 disc changes that can plug directk into my deck? Or is there an adapter? Thanks a lot for your help!

Howzdawg...Read your email...I just replied to it

Maximadave:D

hey dave keep me updated on those W7s also do you carry nakamichi speakers, i'm looking for a component set.

No sorry, no Nakamichi for the car, only home mini systems. Brands of car speakers I do sell are Alpine, Kenwood, Boston, and JL Audio. If you want serious sound look at the Boston Pro 6.5's

Maximadave

ok cool i'm gonna give em a look.

How much can I get the Eclipse Point Source 6x9 3ways for? Also, How much can I get the Point Source 5.25s for? I do have some Tweeters here in IL and I know I have to pay tax.

The Eclipse Point source speakers are awesome, I have them in my Max. The Point Source speakers are a 2 way not a 3 way...most 2 way speakers sound better than 3 ways.

The Eclipse 89940 are $190.00 a pair
The Eclipse 89540 are $150.00 a pair

I don't normally stock Point source speakers at Tweeter but someone special ordered the 6x9's out here and are still available. Best thing to do is contact the Tweeter store near you to see if they have them in stock.

Maximadave

hey can u get zapco amps?

No Zapco amps....:crying:

how much can u get the kenwood KDC-9017, KDC-X817, or the pioneer permier 7300 model for? thanks.

$409.00 on the KDCX817. I don't carry the 917 or Pioneer Premier.

Maximadave

Dave,

Hey, I saw that you have Audiovox, too. I've been looking for something specific for months. I'm looking for the 6-disk cartridge for my Audiovox CD changer. When I moved, I lost mine, so it's been pretty much useless. The model number is P-168. I tried Audiovox directly and they directed me to check locally (if U can believe THAT !!)

Bumpity-bump!!!

I only carry the Audiovox overhead video pod systems...I don't carry the car audio line of it...check out some of your local car audio dealers...or on line.

Maximadave:D

OOhhh, that sounds interesting. How much for the pod? You're talking about the universal one, right? Possibly the 6.5in screen/monitor.

I just bought my 3000W amp, mono, stable at 1 ohms. I got 1 Kappa Perfect 12.1 and no enclosure. I got the installation kit. What should I do... Get an other Kappa and put it in the dual box or sell Kappa and buy 1 competion aub, more powerful ? Kappa Perfect 12.1 350 rms 1400 max at 4 ohms ,Amp 3000W RMS at 1ohms, MOFSET, Class-D . BTW , what the hell is a subsonic filter in my amp ? Which enclosure will give me the most bass , I got alot of juice to power the amps so, what should I get to get most of the bass ??? I got 1000W loud speakers in the back and 180W loud speakers in the front. Any ideas on a nice setup ? I'm confused right now so I need some advice. THNX

a subsonic filter is a cut off for low frequencies that you can't here. A subsonic filter is suppose to make your amp run more efficient and less stress on your subs. Like 10 htz. What kind of amp do u have? Is the subsonic filter is adjustable?

Its the new Boss 3000D amp, It runs 1200W mono at 4ohms, 2200W at 2ohms and 3000W at 1ohm. The subsonic filter is ajustable and so is the lowpass filter. The amp looks pretty good. I was hooking it up in my car but I need some more tools, I have to make a hole in the firewall cause the 4 gauges power wire is damn large. Let's see what this monster is all about. I'll probably finish the work tomorrow and I'll let you know how it sounds.

umm that's a lot of watts. Do u know if that's true watts? If it is and your dropping the ohms on it u may need 0 gauge wire. What is the fuse rating on the amp?

90 AMPS in the amplifier and 60 amps from battery. For now , I only have 1 subwoofer so I'm not really worried about the wires. I'm worried about blowing the sub out of the box :) I dunno if thats the true watts I'm getting. I don't really think so but I just paid 260$ for that amp, brand new, delivery included, and it's probably enough to run 2 kappas perfect 12.1 so I'm happy. I'm running the wires right now, my car lost some weight. HEY did anyone ever lissen their cd's in a car without seats and carpets ???? IT SOUNDS LIKE A HALL AND A 1000W STEREO SYSTEM 4 REAL . I'm not even sure if I'll put anything back in my car :) hehe. I was amazed about the sound quality when it's just open space in the car .

Have the box custom built to Infinity specs so you get maximum bass:sun:
Your amp should be ok...I dont know about 1200 watts though. What did you pay for the amp?

Maximadave:cool:

oh yeah 4 gauge should be plenty for that amp. :) Enjoy the system and tell me how it sounds when u get the seats and stuff back in.

Well, It might not give me 1200W at 4ohms, but it has to be close. I don't think that they could sell an amp and claim better specs. I had a great deal on it so I'm a lucky guy. Normal price of this amp is around 500$ - 650$. I bought a JVC KD-SH99 MP3/CD player from the same person (brand new) for only 260$ total too. The shit was on the market for 400$ + shipping. The radio sounds great , so I imagine the amp isn't going to be defective. Well, I'm almost done with the cables, all I need is a hole to run my power wire thru the firewall. What could I use (tool) to test the amps capabilities ???? And do I need a capacitor, how do they work and whats the mesuring unit of FRAD or FRAT equivalent to Watts ??? Thanx for all the help guys. Later.

cool.
so the price already includes the labor then?

I would like to know where your store is located please. If it is close to me then I will just come by and take a look but if its to far then I have to plan ahead. By the way I live in San Jose. Thanks alot.

you best plan way~ ahead...his shop's near San Diego...:D

Thats to far for me. :eek:

Hey Dave, I emailed you a while ago asking about different cd changers. You said that the RF wasnt so bad so I bought one. I am in the middle of installing the damm thing and now I am stuck. I got it to power on and play, but it sounds all staticy. I think it is because it doesnt have a regular antenna input.

So the controller has an antenna input and output. for the car antenna to go into and out to the radio. However, there is no antenna as far as I could see. Do you know what to do? I am getting realllllllllly pissed at this thing and I am about to throw it out the fin window!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Helllpp!!!!!!

Thanks,
Marc

3000 watts, I doubt it. If you have 90 amps in fuses and 12 volts power you have a maximum potential of 1080 watts assuming 100% efficiency which Class AB amplifier are around 60% (good ones) and 75-80% for class D amplifiers. Even if you had 14.4 volts from your car, the maximum potential is only 1296 Watts of power in so let's say it a class D @ 80% @ 14.4 Volts from your car then you would have a maximum potential of around 1036.8 watts. This is the most power your amplifier could make on a continuous basis.

A far cry from 3000 watts.

Peak power is another story. Music is not a continuous signal but a dynamic one. That's unless you listen to that long ghetto bass music. For peak power double it. This is because a fuse is rated to handle twice the current for around 5 seconds.

Even so your peak power would be limited to the 60 amps from your battery fuse. 60*12*.8*2=1152 watts at 12 volts to a maximum peak power of 60*14.4*.8*2=1382.4 before the battery fuse would blow.

For power wire, since the amp has a 90 amps current protection, a 4 gauge wire of good quality will work fine. When it doubt use Monster Cable. A little more expensive but worth it. :rolleyes:

Alpine CDA-7977, price? I can get it from work wholesale at 320, any better there? Amazing head unit, gunna go in my car for audio quality competitions, second only to the F1 Status, and I don't have the $$$$ for that. :)

3000W @ 1 Ohm , It's a D Class Amp. I think it's 2200W @ 2 ohms and 1200W or somethink at 4 ohms. I know it wont be 3000W at 4 ohms , it would be 2 much

Buy it :cool:

did you get those w7's in yet? if so what are the prices on those?

email me @ [email protected] when you get a chance, i have some other questions for you :D

Little by little they are coming in.

$550.00 on the 10W7

$750.00 on the 12W7

$950.00 on the 13W7

of course they are priced each

if you are into the sattelite radio i would check out a alpine though because their provider seems like its better than kenwoods provider

XM Satelite radio is out now....Alpine would be the way to go if you want satelite radio in your Maxima. Kenwood has Sirius satelite radio which won't be launched until mid to late January 2002.
