Audio help for my 2001 Kia Sephia

Hey all,
I'm a computer specialist, so when it comes to cars I'm an absolute novice. Long story short, my cars audio system sucks, and the guy who owned my car last did a great job of screwing the wireing up a lot, so I would not trust myself to install a new audio system. Yesterday I bought a Dual XHD7714 head unit, and now I'm looking at getting some new speakers. My car takes 5.25" front speakers and 5"x7" rear speakers. So right now here is what I'm looking at:
Front: Alpine SPS-507
Rear: Alpine SPS-500
Since I know pretty much zilch about car audio systems, I wanted to get your opinion before I bought any speakers. Basically my biggest worry is that the RMS power distribution won't work out correctly. But I don't know what I'm talking about anyways haha (^^,). Any advice as to some good quality speakers would be great, or any concerns about compatibility. Eventually I think I would like to put in an anmp and subwoofer, but I'm going to take this one step at a time.
Thanks,
-Sunflash M.
P.S. One more question, will Best Buy install the head unit and/or any speakers I purchase? And would it cost any extra money to get the head unit installed first, than add the speakers later on, as opposed to getting it all done at once?

  • Audio help for deadline!

    I'm trying to clean up terrible audio(recorded on micro cassette). I've reduced the backround noise thru Soundtrack pro and now trying to improve the voices itself which is EXTREMELY tinty w/slight distortion. I have little expierence with audio and this is critical project. Hoping someone can point me the right direction.P.S. I didnt record the original audio.THANKS

    Rick, if it's really critical and you really don't have the experience, then I would suggest getting it done professionally.
    They won't need to have anything to do with FCP, just find a pro sound studio an, have them work from the original tapes, and deliver you an AIFF file. Or you're probably fine doing it all long-distance with AIFF files - but make sure to send/take them the originals as they will be able to do better with the noise reduction.
    There's no silver bullet here. That I know of. Good luck!

    I want to add Narration to my movies. I've watched the Elements Guided Help for Narration, and closely followed their procedure. But when I click the RECORD tab, I get an error message. "Your current audio hardware selection dos not have any input channels." My question, therefore: Do I need to buy an external microphone? I have an HP Pavilion Laptop, running WIndows 8.1. I thought I had a built-in microphone. But ,maybe not. Please help. Also, WHAT KIND of microphone - exactly - should I buy? Thanks for your help.

    Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO tab and click on it.
    Under the Input tab, make sure that you have your microphone selected.
    Please let us know the outcome.

  • Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

    Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
    Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
    The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
    Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
    This is the cable I see at Amazon

    If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
    You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

  • Require Help Obtaining Audio Driver for Compaq Presario SR1429UK desktop

    Hi,
    Really hoping someone can assist me obtaining the Realtek High Definition Audio driver for the Compaq Presario SR1429UK desktop.
    I've obtained a second hand SR1429UK and it has been rebuilt but I have been unable to install the audio driver. I've tried downloading it from the compaq site but the sp26552.exe update driver which is available does not work and reports errors on installation. From the Compaq site, the only available driver is the update driver and there is no available download of the 'original' driver which is sometimes available for other models.
    I've tried using the other SR1429 drivers (ES, FR, IT, NX etc) but they don't seem to be compatible.
    I also don't have to the recovery disk or compaq application recovery installed as it's a clean WinXP Pro build.
    ANy ideas where else I can obtain this driver?
    Cheers, Jeremy

    Hi,
    It seems you are trying to download the driver update of the audio drivers. Please try downloading the original drivers from the following weblink:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-2...
    Hope this information helps.

  • Helping Picking a Home Audio System for Christmas Gift!

    I'm looking for a home audio system for a user that has a ps3 (so a dvd player is not needed), is HDMI compatible, probably a 5.1 system (?), and if possible to be priced between $200-$300. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, you will need to spend more than that or buy a used one.

  • WaveStudio 7.12 (and/or Audio Pack for MP3 Support) product Help files

    WaveStudio 7.2 product Help files (CTWAVE32.CHM) need to be revised to incorporate MP3 support, for those customers (like me) who have purchased the Audio Pack app for MP3 Support.
    -OR-
    Am I supposed to?just use the old WaveStudio 5.00.2 Help files (CTWave32.hlp)?
    Also, there doesn't seem to be any way of uninstalling WaveStudio 5.00.2, unless I uninstall the whole suite of Creative MediaSource software... And that doesn't seem like very much fun at all... ? So, what, should I just leave WaveStudio 5.00.2 on the machine?

    JRe: WaveStudio 7.2 (and/or Audio Pack for MP3 Support) product Help files?For anyone else experiencing this issue, the answer is:? Can't do it!? WaveStudio 5.00.20 can not be removed as a "stand-alone" application. The reason is, it's not listed as a separate program in Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs, and WaveStudio 5.00.20 has no Uninstall option.
    Furthermore, WaveStudio 7.2 doesn't seem to overwrite the earlier version (it's still there and for some odd reason, it still works).
    In order to remove the old version of WaveStudio, you must remove whichever Creative application that version of WaveStudio came bundled with.? Then, when you reinstall that application, WaveStudio 3.0 (or whatever iteration that application contained)?comes right back.
    Therefore, the answer seems to be, you have to?li've with two versions of WaveStudio on the 'puter:? 7.2?and whatever earliest version the original bundled software?came with on the Soundblaster disc. Sad, but apparently true!? So, good day!? :smileytongue:

  • IOS 6.1.4 released for iPhone 5 Adds an Updated Audio Profile for Speakerphone

    Apple has just released an Over the Air update for the iPhone 5.  It seems to only provide an updated audio profile for the speaker phone.  Nothing else listed in the change log.
    I would assume  that there will be an iTunes downloadable  update available shortly.

    It obviously is because you didnt understand. The iphone 4's last update to IOS 6.1.3 in some cases caused the phones speakers to not work (in which this happened to mine and a few people I know) which some people got rid of their phones. HENCE the AUDIO UPDATE that they recently posted but only iPhone 5 can download the update. That is my problem. I have alot of apple products diesel vdub and have had apple for a long time but I can't seem to understand why they would do this and I posted this in hopes to find more people that have had this issue and if they did anything to help fix it this issue. Thank you for your concern though.

  • Search help for input fields in a screen

    Hi,
    Pls help me
    how to set search help property for the I/O fields in screen in se80?
    1. do we want to add any property for search help in the property window?
    2.do we want to create a MODULE PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST ?
    PLS tell me how to set search for the I/O field in se80?pls tell me the process?
    i want to set the search help for more I/O fields in se80 but all the fields belongs to the same table?
    can i create a single search for all these fields and use that for all the I/O fields ?
    elementary search help or collective search help?
    thanks & regards in advance,

    Hi,
    Input Help on the Screen
    Within the Screen Painter, you can define two types of input help:
    1. The FIELD statement with one of the additions VALUES or SELECT.
    2. Linking a search help directly to a screen field.
    If you link a search help directly to a screen field, it overrides the additions of the FIELD
    statement. However, the input check [Page 581] functions of the FIELD statement remain
    unaffected.
    Input Help in Flow Logic
    The following input help methods are obsolete and should not be used. They are still supported
    for compatibility reasons.
    In the screen flow logic, you can specify a value list for a screen field <f> as follows:
    FIELD <f> VALUES (<val1>, <val2>,...).
    The value list contains a series of single values <vali>. The NOT and BETWEEN additions for the
    input check [Page 581] are not appropriate for input help.
    You can also create a value list by accessing a database table as follows:
    FIELD <f> SELECT *
    FROM <dbtab>
    WHERE <k1> = <f1> AND <k2> = <f2> AND...
    In the WHERE condition, the fields of the primary key <ki> of the database table <dbtab> are
    checked against the screen fields <fi>. The WHENEVER addition, used with input checks [Page
    581], is not necessary for input help.
    If you have used a ABAP Dictionary reference for field <f>, the selection and the hit list formatting
    may be affected by any check table attached to the field.
    Attaching a Search Help
    Search helps from the ABAP Dictionary can be attached to a screen field [Ext.]. To do this, enter
    the name of the search help in the corresponding field in the attributes of the screen field in the
    Screen Painter. This assigns the first parameter of the search help to the screen field. It is only
    possible to place a value from the hit list onto the screen.
    Input help on a screen.
    REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_F4_HELP_DYNPRO MESSAGE-ID AT.
    DATA: CARRIER(3) TYPE C,
    CONNECTION(4) TYPE C.
    CALL SCREEN 100.
    MODULE CANCEL INPUT.
    LEAVE PROGRAM.
    ENDMODULE.
    The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is itself. It has the following layout:
    602 April 2001
    Cancel
    Airline
    Flight number
    Screen field with search help
    Input help in the flow logic
    The input fields have been adopted from the program fields CARRIER and
    CONNECTION. The function code of the pushbutton is CANCEL, with function type
    E. The search help DEMO_F4_DE with the search help parameter CARRID is
    assigned to the screen field CARRIER. The search help uses the database table
    SCARR.
    The screen flow logic is as follows:
    PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
    MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
    FIELD CARRIER VALUES ('AA', 'LH').
    FIELD CONNECTION SELECT *
    FROM SPFLI
    WHERE CARRID = CARRIER
    AND CONNID = CONNECTION.
    When the user chooses the input help for the individual fields, the following input
    help is displayed:
      For the Airline field, the search help displays the names of the airlines and places the airline
    code in the input field for the chosen line. If the airline code is not one of those listed in the
    VALUES list of the screen flow logic, the input check triggers an error message in the PAI
    event. So the search help overrides the VALUES addition for the input help, but not for the
    input checks. This is therefore not an appropriate place to use the VALUE addition.
      For the Flight number field, the flow logic displays the selected entries from the database
    table SPFLI and places the selected line in the input field.

  • How can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

    how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

    you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
    Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:

  • Optical audio cable for iMac?

    I need to find an optical audio cable for my 20" intel iMac.
    I have not been able to determine what kind of cable that it is that I need to be able to hook up my iMac to my logitech z-5500's. I know that the z-5500's have an optical input on them, but it is a standard size optical input.
    Does anyone know what exactly it is that I am looking for?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I wish Apple would sell a nice white Toslink ->Mini-tos adapter, as all of their products seem to be using the connector. (Or better yet, include it with the computers.)
    The cable mentioned above will work fine and is not viciously overpriced like the Monster stuff. Another good quality solution, especially if you already have a regular optical cable, is this adaptor: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=180-968
    I use two of those (both with Dayton Audio optical cables from the same seller, though any optical cable will do as there's no real difference between any of them) with my iMac and AirPort Express, and have not had any problems.

  • Audio Settings for Premiere CS6

    Hi, I currently run a Mac Pro with a 27 inch Apple Monitor with built in camera.  The machine is also running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.  Could someone give me some clarification as to why the Audio Settings for Premiere CS6 are the way they are?
    Example with a Macbook Pro and an iMac when I plug in a headphone I can get the sounds from Premiere pro as well as something from youtube to the headphones.  However in the case of the Mac Pro with the Apple Monitor, when the headphones are plugged in the youtube sounds come through but the Premiere sounds go through the monitor.  I'm aware of the audio settings but I suspect this is working by design because of the different audio options the Mac Pro have and there is nothing broken about this.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    I've always found this a bit annoying.
    The intended behaviour is that if you go into Premiere's audio settings, and choose "System Default Input/Output", it should change along with the system (so that the audio comes out wherever YouTube does). In practice, I've found this to be inconsistent in pre-CC versions of Premiere (CC fixes this).
    One tip that may be helpful for you in general on a Mac Pro:
    1. If you don't already have the volume icon in the menu bar (by the clock), enable that in System Preferences > Sound.
    2. Option-click on the icon and you'll get a quick menu of your output options

  • Where can I find the Audio driver for a dv9865ek on XP?

    Hi all,
    HP support doesn't have the audio driver for my laptop, which is a pavilion dv9865ek with XP64 installed.
    Any idea where I can find it or find out what the model of my sound card is?
    Thaks for your help. 

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.
