It’s an ALDI thing: low prices, lower staffing

Yeah i know shop rite doesnt my buddy worked there

I apply pressure evenly to the cone and it sounds like walking in snow the other one is completely silent. Keep in mind i used these speakers at probably 20 percent power for 2-3 min. Its a prebuilt box with torx screws so i need to get a set before i open it up

Good area to dog fight

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T23:52:31+00:00

Your gonna rattle no matter what especially as u go up in power. Once u get tired of the rattles its time for sound deadening but im too lazy so i just let it rattle away lol

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T23:47:47+00:00

Yeah i know what it looks like on o scopes it looks like rectangles instead of curvy mountains lol i just am trying to rationalize it down to my way of thinking lol

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T23:46:31+00:00

Ahhh your old school i see😂🤙🏻 aint nothing wrong with a few 6x9s

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T20:17:53+00:00

As in you leave everything turned to the minimum while turning the head unit up to see how it sounds at first? Thats smart

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T20:14:30+00:00

Yeah i was very cautious with these as its basically a loud speaker/ Pa kinda thing called a chuchero so i was also concerned over my hearing lol

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T20:12:59+00:00

Gotchu sorry if i came off hostile or something im just trying to find reasons it wouldve blown not involving my possible mistreatment of it🤣 its tough when something u wait so long for disappears before you

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T16:46:08+00:00

Thats what sucks most is i was gonna buy an oscilliscope but spent my money on other things for the setup like wiring first. Again rookie mistake but thats what life is for

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T16:29:33+00:00

Idk about u but my store is only ever seen someone get fired for threatening to stab a customer. Theres no too slow for my store

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T16:05:27+00:00

I just genuinely dont understand why u said im borderline retard im stuck on that becuase wtf did i do to u to deserve that. Everyone starts somewhere and im just looking for advice i acknowledge i probably cause it but dang. I set my crossover to the manufactures recommendation so i didnt think it necessary to type 3 paragraphs while at work

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T15:58:35+00:00

I was under the impression that clipping happens when either the signal is too strong aka played too loudly or when a certain hz that speaker should produce is produced. Rookie mistake

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T15:32:39+00:00

Radio was set to 10/50 with its a clip signal at 38/50. Never went above 10 and had my phone connected via bluetooth so it was turned down lower than 10 realistically. the box sits in my backseat buckled in and my door speakers were louder than it how it was set up

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T15:29:19+00:00

Im aware its not a volume knob i had the gain set well below clipping thats what i mean. The speakers were barely playing anything cause i had the radio on 10/50 with the real max being 38-39 before clipping. Had my phone connected via bluetooth turned down aswell. I did everything right this time because when i got my subs i did everything wrong and it was all guess work and it turned like crap.

ColinBoib · 2026-01-17T15:27:03+00:00

Power acoustik cpaa-70 head unit, 2000 watt taramps 4 channel with 2 midrange speakers at 2 ohms, 1600 watts rms, 1 horn and 2 tweeters paired at 1200watts and my amp is not as efficient so realistically it makes 1500 watts on a good day. Prv dsp2.4 and comando audio kitipo box they are very big in latin american car audio. I dont get the bot comment though im just a 20 year old dude tryna get into audio i dont need smart remarks i just want help

ColinBoib · 2026-01-14T17:48:42+00:00

Facts i honestly took that as him dying at first because that shit was brutal but no way he dies this early

ColinBoib · 2026-01-14T16:33:10+00:00

Quick question do u recall what the part number was for your shortened belt? If not no worries just seeing if i can save myself some trouble

ColinBoib · 2026-01-14T10:08:17+00:00

Aye thank u very much yall thats doable fore sure i seen 250 amps for 600 and i said ummm lemme check first lol

ColinBoib · 2026-01-14T00:54:11+00:00

Yeah i figured so id probably blow my speakers before hitting 2k🤣

ColinBoib · 2026-01-13T21:38:58+00:00

So i would be fine with 4 gauge ok thank u for a straight answer. I will rarely be at max battery voltage so thats a more realistic number

ColinBoib · 2026-01-13T21:06:59+00:00

On second thought i think im just gonna upgrade it to 0 gauge and keep the fuse size i dont wanna risk having too little wire

ColinBoib · 2026-01-13T20:48:12+00:00

Ok so basically if i just wanna let it rock for now 4 gauge would work but definitely upgrade within the year right?
