    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    Any links for parts and instructions? This sub is going to be sitting here a while, and I may as well give a reconing job a shot. But, then again, I don't think reconing it will fix it. Need to talk to KE, even though I know they will say its my fault.

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    Nam, don't you like how they just delete threads that don't support eD over at ICIX? I think I may not be buying their products again. How are you doing the recone yourself? I may be interested.

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    Ah yes, and it seems on further inspection of the 19 I have found the source of my voice coil rub. The magnet seems to be coming loose from the basket. There is quite a bit of play between the two.

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    Eh, not sure. It's installed in the car right now, just like it is in the picture. Probably will get some color matching carpet, it will look pretty nice then. It's much more inconspicuous that my old box. That 5 and a half cubes with 19inch sub facing up could draw some attention looking...

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    3 Inch. I used eD's universal box. Easy to make, kinda a quick throw together. Put them in today. I have the gain real low. I'm not sure if two 13's are going to get as loud as one 19. Should still be loud though! http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_27_39&products_id=121

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    Built the box today. Will be finishing up tomorrow hopefully. Need to get some carpet that somewhat matches the car's interior. Can't wait to try them out!

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    SO i picked up some speaker terminals because I wanted my boxes to be switchable quite easily, but the connections on the back are quick disconnects. How do I connect wires to them without the quick disconnect? Can I just wrap the wire around it and solder it on? Or do I need to buy a few of...

    That would be fine, but I would have no idea where to start on designing it.

    Dual 13 Ported Box Help

    Well, I bought a 13Ov.2 a while back with their sale, and decided to get another to compliment it. WIll be running them off a NINe.1, with about 600 RMS going to each. Now to the question, I am looking to build this box...

    New Sound System.

    Judging from the amount of dust that has collected on it, I think he will be happy to see $150 for it.

    Subwoofer in a Sport Trac!

    Can't beat this deal right here, I got one. eD 13Ov.2 D4 or $70. Awesome sub. Going to put mine in a small ported box. http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?products_id=721

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    Damn ground loop. Oh well, it only happened like once. New question. The 13 will be here on thursday, making a box for it soon. But for the high pass im going to go for about 70 on this one. It will blend better with the fronts. The 19 over ruled everything in the front so I couldn't...

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    And on top of that I just remembered something. one day a while ago I was listening to some music quieter than usual and all of a sudden the sub started playing relatively loudly and sounded like interference of some kind. Any idea what this is from. My RCA's are on the oppo side of the power.

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    Oh, awesome. Now I just have to wait till that voice coil goes out. Is there any way to tell which one is going bad? I tried playing the sub with them hooked up, but even with only one hooked up it still makes the noise for both coils.

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    Well I checked the ohms on both voice coils and each is around 1.6-1.7, which tells me both are fine, and also explains why setting the gain using a multimeter was bad news. That tells me I was giving quite a bit more power than I should have been. Hope the NINe.1 is okay. But how can I tell...

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    Is it safe to run on one? Also, do I just check the ohms on the coil to see which one is blown?

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    That's fine man, I want to try a sealed to start with, and if it sucks, I'll go for ported. If you jump on it those 13's are cheap as hell. Not sure how I blew it either. But at low volumes it's really distorted and when I press down on the dust cap it makes a rubbing noise. I will just play...

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    Well, here is the bad news. My 19Ov.2 is blown. Now the good news. They hooked me up with a 13Ov.2 for $70 on clearance. The 19 is just too much for me. I want something that is small and won't take up my entire trunk, so it will be either stored for later or sold. So I have a 13 headed...

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    So now the sub is making this little annoying noise. I listened to this one song a little while ago that may have pushed a little too much, but the noise started somewhere in this time frame I believe. Any idea what is causing it? I hope its not early onset blown-sub disease...

    2002 Explorer Sound System: NEED ADVICE!

    Well, I FINALLY got around to checking the voltage on the nine.1 and turns out I was overdoing it. I had the gain set at a little past half with 3v preouts and after checking voltage while playing a test tone at max volume a listen to usually I only have the gain set inbetween quarter and half...

    SPL guys some voltage questions and enclosure q's...

    Sorry to hijack but I have a question too. It's my understanding that throwing more batteries in to a car with stock alternator doesn't do anything except put more strain on the alternator, right? Seems to me more batteries would be worse, for a small setup at least, instead of just one. Now...

    VERY Poor FM Reception

    If it's worse on bumpy roads that tells me a wire is loose somewhere. Bouncing is causing something to hook and unhook. Check all your wires again.

    Garmin Nuvifone

    My brother has one. Regrets it every day. Just so expensive and not worth it. So many other devices out there that are so much better and cheaper. The HTC Tilt is amazing. ATT sells it. iPhone is so proprietary and nothing available.

    CD is stuck

    I am not trying to insult you, but is the CD really in there? I had the same problem with my old CD player and it turns out I had taken it out and forgotten about it...
