Even if you don’t know a lot about installing car audio stereos – You can see how wicked crazy this re-build is ! Besides the insane amount of window & windshield flex , the car was nearly flexing apart! My teeth were rattling like a mofo & my feet were vibrating ~ No “out pops eye” lol , but hey – it sounded extremely good on the lows, and incredible on the door / dash mids & highs – registered the deep tones like a beast , just like most good systems !

I currently have a 1992 firebird and a soundstream class A 5.2 amp hooked up to 2 15 inch spl subwoofers.

If you want some expert help, go to www.carstereoforum.net

GREAT forum to help with all questions and very knowledgable people.

I have a 2003 mustang and want to add a good sound system, i was thinking that two subwoofers would do the job, any other suggestions?

its very possible but id go with 10s you will get alittle more bass if you do it your self it shouldnt be more then 300 if you take it somewhere if your luckey you will get out with being charged 100 all you will need is a wireing kit and amp subs and a box to do it your self its very easy

MB Quart proudly releases a line of newly developed RLP shallow mount subwoofers with an ultra-slim design, solid double-roll reinforced steel frame and a powerful magnet system. The RLP series have been specifically designed for small and compact enclosures.

Other outstanding features in this high-quality and acoustically sound line include 3″ voice coils on glass fiber former with an injection molded cone neck support, injection polypropylene flat piston cone for maximum damping and structural rigidity and a ¾” high NBR rubber surround for more cone area and excursion.

With a super low mounting depth of 3″ and extremely compact housing this line is ideal for restricted spaces. The RLP subwoofers bring uncompromisingly powerful bass reproduction to car audio – even in applications where the space available really leaves no room for subwoofers.

RLP subwoofers further include premium features such as single flat poly cotton spiders with woven tinsel lead wires, paintable composite trim ring and custom nickel plated push type terminals.

RLP254 10″ is DVC 4-Ohm and handles 300wrms/600wmaxx.

i was looking up subwoofers to get for my car and i came across this question. i’ve only noticed that the dual coils are more expensive. is it worth the price difference?

You have more options when you have a dual voice coil. You can still change the impedance of single coil speakers, but it is really not a good idea. You are basically getting more power out of the dual voice coil and more wiring options. Also, you can mono block the duals and you shouldn’t do that with single…Good luck.

I recently installed subwoofers in my truck but can’t get them to play off of my radio. I can plug an ipod to the amp and the Subwoofers will play off of the ipod. But if I connect the rca jacks from my amp to the radio deck input, the subwoofers wont play. Need help please.

Side Note: My radio works, just need help with the input and output

Connecting the amp inputs to a radio deck input won’t work. You have to connect a preamp OUTPUT from the radio deck to the amp inputs.

Most aftermarket head units include at least one set of RCA preamp outputs. Stock receivers don’t usually have preamp outputs. The solution is to "tap" the speaker outputs (most often rear speakers) and connect them to a line output converter (LOC) and use RCA cables from the LOC to your amp inputs.

Here’s an excellent 2-channel LOC with amp remote turn-on:

My pc and tv are near eachother. I have a 2.1 speaker set hooked up to my pc. I want to get a surround sound for my tv. Is it ok to put two subwoofers near eachother? Will they de-magnitize each other or something? Should I never have them both on at the same time or something? Does it not matter?

Historically it is not a problem, if you try to operate both at the same time you may (highly unlikely) experience signal interference. But the competing bass will probably have some phase cancellation issues.

expect them to play nice with one another.

its not bottoming out at 0:27, i just didn’t bolt the sub down well. You can actually see the rim of the sub moving.

i have two 10′ subwoofers that are hooked up to a 1000 watt amp. if i buy a capacitator how exactly does it work and how do i install it and what do i need to install it

The purpose of a capacitor is to temporarily supply voltage to the electrical system when the alternator has a voltage drop. this tends to happen often when bass is amplified and sent to a subwoofer. The cap charges up to the same voltage as the alternator which will be 13-14 something volts depending on your alternator. Then when the kick drum hits and the voltage thatthe alternator supplies drops becuse it can’t handle that much of a load the capacitor takes over temporarily relieveing the electrical system, then recharging back up to the same voltage as the alternator.

thats how its supposed to work anyways. to install it all you need to do is run wire from it to the amp and battery. and fusing those connections are recommended

and subwoofers dont have capacitors that "bleed off" higher tones. the subwoofer is just a speaker that does what it is told to do. if a musical signal of 1000hz is sent to a subwoofer it will try to play it, and probably damage itself in the process. Low pass filters do this "bleeding off" that you are referring to. Low pass filters cut off all frequencies above a set frequency so that a subwoofer wont try to play it and get damaged. and those are usually on amplifiers, not subwoofers
