I'm into it, tho i dont have a car, but they do interest me

Please do share some.
I'm not huge into it but it is an interest of mine. Besides, I'm sure anyone here can recognize the beauty behind it all.

I use to be real big into it. DB drags and such. That was like 6-10 years ago though. My last system had 3 13" JL w7 powered by 3 JL 1000's... And yes my mother was right, my hearing has gone to ****.

one of the many pics of the build.....
and heres some of the one that i finished up last week.
Both need carpet, and the first one is getting something even more special.
there is an amprack in the top, there will be a flush mounted amp in there.
Let me know what you think.

nice boxes!!! wanna build me one???
I have a passing interest in car audio, just not a huge priority in the budget unfortunately.
This is what I have so far in my car:
dvd receiver with sirius and someday soon, bluetooth

front speakers
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/Pro60SE-P601.aspx
rear deck:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/SR95-P627.aspx
Looking at these for the bass:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I already have a box that is in the recommended dimensions for these speakers.
Also, what is a good amp (not crazy expensive) to push these, or is there a better deal on 10inch woofers.
I'm looking for clean sound more than overall thump.
Any suggestions?

your link for the subs returned a server error
and im all about building something and shipping it....lol
Boston is an excellent brand, but compared to their retail pricing, there are better, less expensive options out there.
If youre looking for some ideas, shoot me a PM, i know of a few very good, lesser known companies that I have used, and also that i still use.

try this again. the 10"subs I've been looking at:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I agree, retail they are expensive, but they can be found for half of retail if you shop around.

Meant to edit that post, i clicked a second time and it worked.
They are killer sounding subs for sure. 300/pair isnt all that bad to be honest.

Jabra Halo

Does anyone have the Jabra Halo? It looks like a decent headset. How is it with the Galaxy Tab? Do all the buttons and functions work? What about the sound quality and battery life on it? Im looking to get it soon, but im worried about the sound quality coz im used to loud, bassy, full sized headphones.
Sent from my undervolted Galaxy Tab on Overcome 1.4.7 ROM

I had one but returned it because it was very uncomfortable for me due to the lack of any hinges.
All the buttons and functions worked fine and the sound-quality was pretty good compared to other bluetooth headphones (i went through 6 or 7 different models). Battery-Life was also quite good, about what has to be expected when you have some room for the batteries. IIRC at least 4-5h.

Ok thanks. Anyway i bought a Nokia BH 503 instead. Decent sound quality and battery. Plays nice with the galaxy tab and Power Amp!

Thanks for the help guys.

i have jabra stone
ive bought jabra stone voor 99 euro a few weeks ago and its really an amazing device.
- A2DP music (use it as a wireless headphone to listen music and also for videos)
- resistive touch 4 volume (no buttons but more like swyping over the headset)
- really comfortable
- long battery (you get a charing station more like a stone which you can carry with you and recharge the headset unite on the go which is really usefull.
- slik design. its whie like my SGT white. it looks nice and original. it looks next gen in my opinion.
- one thing i didnt really like was talking in outside while its windy. you hve to put your hand on in like fbi to make the other person hear you good.
- price

I get about 14 hours of music on one charge. Standby time must be really long as i keep it on for days and when I finally turn on my phone BT it connects right away.

I am looking for new desktop speakers

Hey people as I said in the title I am looking for some new speakers for my desktop. However, thanks to my current dual monitor setup I need either really short speakers or something like laptop sound bar so the speakers don't get hidden behind the monitors. So if someone has any suggestions that be great.

No I do not unfortunately, here is a pic to show how much space I have, as you can see I currently already have a speaker hidden behind them.

Bump I'd still like to hear some suggestions, preferably for speakers under 100 dollars and I only need 2 speakers since I wouldn't be able to spread out surround sound speakers properly in the room I have my computer in.

Under your budget are the m-audio av30 speakers.

At $149, I'd definitely recommend the av40.

and this is how my dash looked before hand
now my current/previous set up was a modded head unit with pre outs to a pre amp which in the picture is above the HU- (that is now underneath the HU) then that to my amp for my speakers and my sub
so it fits pretty nicely inside but
-I want it to be removable
-and there is no space at the side for headphone jack or USB....
anyway, got the facia and fitted
and am now thinking of just getting a plastic case and glueing it to the front and so my nexus can snap in and out
but that means I will have wires hanging out the edge which I will have to connect every time- not the end of the world though.....
so just waiting for this case to turn up and an OTG connector and I can get it in and working
I will use the voulme controls on the pre amp/graphics EQ to control the volume so not too worried about that and tasker to control display
which leads me onto a question about tasker- I only really got it last night so havent had much time to play with it....
but I would like to set up the following
when plugged in: screen on all the time, between 7am and 8pm screen on max, between 8pm and 7am screen on lowest
and on auto brightness when not plugged in
as I want to use this day to day so will be removable so dont want the brightness changing if im using it in the house...
or the other way is use the users and have one for house and one mode for car?
so I need a little bit of help with tasker? thoughts?
once thats all sorted I will be looking into adding a Freeview USB dongle and using a kernal which supports it so I can listen to DAB

I left a long walkthrough on how to do what you want with tasker,including airplane mode here:

Take a look at usbfirewire.com (if available in the UK). I had the same issue with next to no space for headphone jack or USB, they sell a downward facing micro USB extension. Worked perfectly for me in the minimal space I had, also look into adding a USB-DAC as that then cuts out having to run the headphone cable.

Do you have some sort of custom made facing for the nexus? It looks like it in the last pic.

There's no sound coming from my device!

I can't get sound to play, I've tried CM, Rootboox, Trickdroid, and ViperROM.
Sound will not play on youtube or play music or anything.
Is it possible my speakers might be blown?
On the status bar, every time I try to play music an icon that looks like the wifi icon with a line across it comes up. I think it might have something to do with that but idk.
Here's a picture

Take your device back.
I literally had this happen to me last week.
One second I was listening to music in the car. picked up a friend. turned the music back on and no sound.
Sprint couldnt fix the issue when I took it to the repair center, so they just replaced it.
I couldnt hear any sound like music, ringtones, using headphones and stuff like that but I was still able to make calls and hear the other person talk.
*EDIT*
also...
massive facepalm for 3 outta the 4 album covers I see in the screen shot.

lol my music selection isn't the greatest. BTW I got this phone from craigslist, I didn't buy, I don't think I can take it to a sprint store.

Long shot but you could try different audio libs like PureXAudio port for our device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211163
