Re: THIS OK TO DO? 2 dvc subs - one 2ohm & 8ohm

Not quite the same but back in the day I got a deal on some Bazooka triangles.3 10s and a 12. Iput them all in one big box with individual chambers. All wired to a 4ohm load. Sounded pretty good on 300 watts but you could see the difference.The 2 10s wired in parallel worked good but the 10 and 12 w...

Re: Getting geared up

Ive decided to go with all Boston Acoustics speakers. I had a set of 746 4x6 plates and picked up 2 sets of Pro60SE's at a sweet deal today. The Boston subs have a high efficiency so this should help me out with my fairly low power(at least by todays standards) old school amps. I also like the fact ...

Re: Getting geared up

Re: MEMORY LANE -- Where did you start?

Re: 1997 BMW 525tds Touring Oldschool Install

Cleaner look. I dig it. What kind of wire did you use to make your RCA's? I thinking of making my own,also. That way i don't have to find a place to hide all the extra wire.

As much as I love old school car audio,I vote for the TI if its a good deal. Hard to beat the versatility of those amps.

Im going to look at an oscilloscope tomorrow. My knowledge is limited on how these work. Anyone know what I can do to make sure it works?
I can put tones on my phone and I have a couple of 1/8 stereo to RCA cables I can use/cut up. Thanks.

They look like they are built well. The 82db sensitivity makes them a hard purchase for me without hearing them in person first.

Re: Getting geared up

keep your amps in bypass if possible? Not sure what that means. If you want full balance and fading ability I would probably recommend more then one cross over to do all that work.
