I'm pretty new to the world passive audio and just want to make sure I won't blow my sub.

I've got a Crown CTs1200, bridged, running at 1200 Watt at 8 Ohms.

My woofer is a CGN Audio Labs CGN1808, 18 inch, 800 Watt AES, 3200 Watt Peak, 8 Ohm driver.

I use an A&H iLive to do all my DSP and I was thinking of using a 35Hz high pass and 80Hz low pass filter for my crossover.

The iLive does have a limiter that can be inserted on its matrix outs, but it's basically just threshold, and that's it. I'm not sure if I should use it, and if so, where I should set it.

Ive been noticing lately that the tweeter on my CC 370 v2 center sounds staticky/muffled especially during guys talking. Ive adjusted the center crossover on my denon receiver to the highest point but it still gets muffled. Its not all the time just a certain frequency range. Ive swapped tweeters and i even hooked up my front speakers as a center and it sounded normal. So im thinking its the crossover in the center itself. Which they are on the older side but these are my end game speakers. I contacted paradigm....ZERO help. So now im reaching out to you guys. My options are limited as i dont know if i can buy ANY model paradigm crossover, take it to a local shop or send it somewhere. Anyone know of a good remanufactured crossover to use. I hate to buy one off ebay and it not work. i did see an ADP-370 crossover but dont know if thatll work. Thanks for your help

I'm really hoping somebody here can help me find a set of Fountek NeoCD1.0 tweeters for Paul Carmody's 'Speedsters.' This is a project I've wanted to do for a long time. Finally have some time, so I set off to source all the parts only to find the tweeters are now out of production.

im sorry if i added the wrong tag, couldnt find the right one

so im planning on building a 3 way selenium fullrange, i know for kicks and sub the t/s are essential otherwise things wont work well, is this the same on higher frequencies? >200hz, because i se the pas3ma2 has very little room behind the speakers in terms of volume, and im thinking on which drivers to use because i already have a 12" one

I have been working on a small desktop 2.1 setup for the past couple weeks, nothing crazy, just a pair of compact sealed speakers and a budget sub powered by a basic Class D amp board.

Everything was going fine during testing, clean signal, no noticeable distortion even at higher volumes. But once I moved everything to my actual desk setup, I started getting this faint buzzing and occasional clicking noise, especially noticeable during quiet passages.

At first I thought it was grounding or maybe a bad RCA cable. Swapped cables, tried a different power supply, even moved the amp off the desk to isolate vibrations. Noise was still there.

What’s weird is I eventually traced it to a cheap Portable DVD/VCD Player I had sitting nearby. I use it sometimes just to test old discs or audio tracks, nothing serious. The moment I unplug it, the noise disappears completely. Plug it back in, and within seconds the interference comes back.

This thing wasn’t even connected to my audio chain, just sharing the same power strip.

Funny part is I picked it up a while back off Alibaba out of curiosity. It works fine for what it is, but clearly the shielding or power filtering is questionable at best.

Has anyone else run into interference from completely unrelated devices like this? Is this just poor shielding, or am I missing something obvious in my setup?

I’m talking about any kind of Electronic horn speakers used for emergency or intercom purposes. I am pretty new to this community and I’m only asking a question. Thanks for reading.

Can any one help me find a cup that’s 2 1/4 cutout or two inch cutout. Can’t find anything

Just upgraded my speakers and now I'm thinking about the amp. I'm running them through my Schiit stack right now. Thinking about trying them with something different though. What amp setups are y'all using and how do you like 'em?

I have an original Wurlitzer 140A amp that finally crapped out. I replaced it with a new amp from Vintage Vibe (sounds great) but I'm wondering what to do with the old amp. VV sells a rebuild kit that could potentially revive the amp, and then I supposed I could build a cabinet for it, add a speaker, and have a weird amp. But is it even worth the effort?

Qualcuno può consigliarmi un subwoofer ø da 10" a 12" _(da ø250mm a ø300mm)_ con Qts inferiore a 0,60 e prezzo inferiore a €65,00.

Serve per impianto audio da portare al lavoro ed in cantiere amplificato con ZKHT21.

Setup già costruito a camere stagne sigillate, ora manca solo il subwoofer che verrà montato in box da circa 35 litri di volume interno.

I made a simple car audio setup using a phone, a small amp, an AUX splitter, my car speakers, and a portable speaker. The signal goes from my phone into the amp first, then into a splitter, and from there it goes to both the car and the portable speaker at the same time.

The portable speaker is hooked on the ceiling of the car in front of the back seat window and positioned toward the window so it projects sound outside, while the car speakers handle the inside. Its louder than bluetooth and theres no delay and sounds good It’s a cheap setup but works surprisingly well. Costed like 120 dollars for everything. Speaker was 100 dollars but got it for 78 dollars, it was on a discount. The speaker is called W-KING Loud Bluetooth Speaker, 100W Max. On Amazon full gray. What do you guys think of the setup?
