Official CAR AUDIO Thread FAQ added

[martdizzle23]

Just got a new radio. Its a Pioneer AVH-P31000DVD and for some reason everything is good except the AM radio, it gets static all the time and unbearably I can barely listen to 10 10 wins. Any help?

.  Heres some of my 2010 pick-ups going in the Tahoe for the new season:

Two JL 300/2s -- one for the mids, one for the tweets. Im not particularly an JL fan because of pricing, but these were free and the filters are surprisingly much better than my previous Sundown 100.2s. Very very clean power output.

Carrozzeria DEH-P01 (Pioneer) - straight from my Japanese connect. If you know of Carrozzeria decks then you already know what the deal is

 The US version of this will be out later this year (DEX-P99rs)...but its internals are not as good as the Japanese version.

Hybrid Audio L6 mids and L1 pro tweeters...Im still waiting on my L8s

  

I'll still be running my Fi Q15s sealed off the Sundown amps...but thats all thats staying from my current setup.

I'm gonna try out the l8's and the l3's when i get a new car.

[mr monday niight]

why 3?

 

[nickle dime bay]

i wanna use the same box or is that a no no?

 

[mr monday niight]

Big no no

sell it on craigslist.

 

[nickle dime bay]

Its such a nice box tho, so youre opinion would be just to get 2 subs? The whole backseat is gonna free so thats why i wanted 3.

 

[mr monday niight]

more doesn't always equal better

infact, in car audio..less is more.

get 2 sundown sa-8's and i'm sure in the right box they'll sound better and be louder than the type r's.

 

[nickle dime bay]

I just seen some of those sa-8s on youtube, they go pretty hard.

 

[mr monday niight]

yup

and for the price? they cant be beat

 

[nickle dime bay]

IF i wanted 3 12"s again what would you recommend tho? Mainstream and other brands

 

[mr monday niight]

incriminator audio lethal injection
fi q/ bl
sundown sa 12
ssa xcon/icon
sundown nightshade

 

[nickle dime bay]

To be honest ive never heard of those before but i will check them out

 

[mr monday niight]

They're so many good 12's on the market

i'd mess with 8's if i were you.

 

[gflower8]

i iz n00b

[nickle dime bay]

[mr monday niight]

[gflower8]

 

[mr monday niight]

if he can't get you that, keep the amp and cop the lethal injection or 2 sundown sa8s

 

[treb2k5]

MR. MONDAY NIGHT: What 12" subs would you recommend for a Kicker 750.1?

Dual 2-Ohm.

I want to upgrade to 2-12" Dual 2-Ohm Fi Q or Sundown SA-12.

Guys from Team Sundown have a few Sundown 1200D that they have laying around, said they'll sell one to me, when I'm ready to upgrade.

They're the guys down the street from me with 12-18's in the Explorer...so they know what they're doing.
