My sound system isn't as loud with the radio?

-I have two 10s - JL audio W3v2 and a Rockford fosgate amp- 600 watts. For some reason it doesn't beat as hard with the radio playing but when I plug my phone up and listen to music it's ridiculously loud. Same with any one elses phone. My other friends that have sound systems don't do this. It's the same on their phone as it is just the radio. Any suggestions as to why it does this?I'm willing to bet that you have your phone hooked up to your radio by the headphone jack on the phone. Since im willing to bet on that then its because your phone has a volume control for your built-in speaker in your phone and when you hook up that cord to your phone its like hooking up a pair of headphones. the phone will control the volume to the jack and the radio is receiving the music at that volume. Try turning down the music on your phone and is will turn down the volume on the radio.
the signal from the radio doesn't have as many low frequencies you do have to realize that non HD radio isn't as good sounding as an MP3 player. It does have to do with the radio its self, if it has a equalizer or sound processing you will have to play around with that. if you want. Your phone might have a equalizer or some kind of better quality sound cumming from it

Which set of speakers?

-I'm trying to decide on a pair of speakers to buy in this price range. Cost within this range isn't an issue. I also understand that much of a "good speaker" is personal preference. I don't have a place nearby where I can test each of these out so I'm wondering which you'd pick and why. I bought a pair of Infinity Kappas 5 years ago because everyone said they were the best for my price range, and absolutely hated them. I have a subwoofer, but I'd like speakers that sound great by themselves--full, strong, articulate. I want the whole package including hi fidelity at normal ranges but have the ability to sound full when you turn the volume up.



Thanks

Cobra 29 cb rqdio help ?

-I have a cobra 29 the power coms on but i. Am not geting sound and it will not get so people can hear me what should i do. And if i sale it how much would it be warthYou did make sure the antenna is set up right, and the coax cable is tight at both ends?



Cobra's are cheap radios and not worth half what they charge for them. Really. They are considered throw away radios in the trucking world.



*added* yeah, sure. Go waste even more money on a cheapy model Cobra? Spend the same bucks and upgrade to a newer model, a 148 GTL or something.

How would these subs go in?

-Just purchased this sub (all links will be shown below) and this box. Still am waiting for them to ship but I started looking at the sub, and... well I didn't see any screw holes on the front. Some on the back, but how am I supposed to get those when there is no other openings on the box. Maybe I am missing something, if so hopefully someone that has gotten these subs already can help me out.

Also I have read comments about getting a grill for the sub, do I have to? I mean I like the way the subs look already and I don't really want to buy a unnecessary thing.

The box: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7566鈥?/a>



Thank you for your time and effort, it is greatly appreciatedthere are screw holes that match up with the back ones. if you look at the front there is a rubber ring that covers the outer ring of the sub. it just gives a cleaner appearance.

Amp making speaker buzz?

-I hooked up an alpine 6x9 to an amp a friend gave me. He knows nothing about audio for the record. The amp says 180 peak so I figured around 60 rms. My 6x9 is 85 and when I hooked it up I could hear a little music and a loud obnoxious buzzing sound. when I turned the gain up it got louder. So I unhooked it and hooked the speakers back up to the head unit and the speaker is fine. What's wrong with the amp? I used the same exact wiring for a different amp and it worked fine.

Can i run alpine type r subs with a OVN2-1800?

-I'm looking into getting 3 Alpine SWR-823D in a ported box, and im buying the OVN2-1800 gothic amp from my friend, I was wondering if that amp would be okay to run on those subs, if there is something better, and where I can find a ported box that will fit the subs?

Lost Radio/CD code as we toke battery out of a car,?

-Toke battery out of my car and put in my friends car, AND guess WHAT lost the radio/cd code , thank you, i was given code for my car but not my friend car as i did'nt have Model number; Now i have a serial and model number, i wonder IF some one can help with the code,FORD .Model;

B3LOWCD.Serial no;M010738.Part no;2561-18C815-AH.FD (EH)10R-02 0451.FD 4500 3 M010738.

It would be great hepl if some one out there knowns the code, thankyouYour code is, 0471.



Do not put random numbers in like Elaine suggests (yet again) as you will lock it permanently.Go to ebay there are sites on there that will send you the unlock code for as little as 70p. Just send them your ser.no. M010738 and some sort of payment and you will probably be up and running again today.
That's an easy one - the M0 serial gives it away. Try 145236, 223141 or if the radio firmware has never been updated the four digit codes 2314, 4523 or 6551.
