Featured Car Audio Review

Audison SR4 and SR1D
By CarAudio.com Member: 8thGenSI
(March-April Winner!)

Review:
I purchased my 2011 Honda Civic SI about a year and a half ago, the day, or should I say minute I drove it off the lot it was clear that the stock stereo needed to go. I slowly began accumulating the equipment I would need to start a build; I had no choice but to keep it modest because of budgetary constraints. I started with a Pioneer AVH-4300DVD, Kicker SS 6.5" component system for the front stage, cheapy kicker 5.25" for the rear fill, 12" JL W6 V2 for sub stage, Elemental Designs Nine.1 for sub, and a Elemental Designs Nine.4 for mid/high. After installing... (continued)

PHD Audiophile Sound Systems FB 6.1 PRO
By CarAudio.com Member: av83
(January-February 2013 Winner!)

Review:
I recently found myself in need of mid-range 6.5's after foolishly setting the HPF too low for my CDT COM-6 mids. They were paired with CDT TW-25 tweeters. This was my first and, previously, only components (I have heard, but not owned, many sets though). I bought them used, and they performed admirably considering the amount of power I had them running on. In fact, I was so impressed by those entry level CDT's that I was dead set on obtaining a more capable set of mids from them. However, after being introduced to the set I'm reviewing, I ultimately decided to try them... (continued)

Massive Audio Nano Bit BX4 Amp
By CarAudio.com Member: AAAAAAA
(November-December Winner!)

Review:
Well Well, I haven't reviewed anything in a while. One of the things I have reviewed the most for those who have kept track (yeah no one has) is definitely small foot print 4 channels. This time around It's the smallest I have had the pleasure to handle yet. Let’s get to it. About the Nano bits. These are no longer made at the same build house that massive has used before (SoundMagus) and these particular models are said to be massive exclusives. These are not a replacement for the similarly named nano's that are more traditional class AB, they are a whole new line that is smaller still and more efficient because it is full range class D. The difference with the nano bits vs other class D's as you will see is how small they are... (continued)

Pioneer AVH-P8400BH Head Unit
By CarAudio.com Member: neo_styles
(September-October Winner!)

Review:
Just received my 8400 from Crutchfield yesterday. Got it as an Open Box item and saved myself about 100 bucks even figuring the harness adapter I needed for my 2006 Passat ($130...got it for $65 because I ordered the HU). Was pleasantly surprised to find some of the cables in the wiring harness had printed labels on them; took out a lot of guesswork when wiring it to the harness adapter. Big ups to Pioneer for this one considering this was my first install. Current configuration of my Passat is all stock. Pack-ins are fairly impressive. The box comes with a trim plate, wiring harness, mounting screws, a neoprene case... (continued)

Pioneer DEX-P99RS Head Unit
By CarAudio.com Member: West
(July-August Winner!)

Review:
You must, must, MUST read the manual to figure out the settings on this deck. Things that were simple on the HU I replaced (Eclipse CD7200 mkii) are impossible to find with out reading. The deck is designed around an active crossover setup, and the default settings are geared to an active setup. The first mistake Pioneer made was how to access the most basic audio configuration. To get into the display the deck needs to be completely powered down and the right nob needs to be pressed and held down to get into the audio configuration. Figured that out after 30 min of trying to set it up with the deck on... giving up and referring to the manual which I had to cling to, to finish the task... (continued)

Hifonics HFX12D4 Subwoofer
By CarAudio.com Member: Chris015
(May-June Winner!)

Review:
Purchased 2 of these guys to try them out due to alot of word of mouth on how they are some really nice dirt cheap budget subs.
Looks: Looks decent, not a whole lot of the pretty bright cheap looking colors etc of other cheap budget subs.
Structure quality: I was a bit disappointed on the quality of the material, foam ring is really thin, and the housing is thin metal too. Its not thin enough that I could flex it with my hands,but its not as heavy as my Fosgate P2 subs. For the price, I dont think this is a big deal.
Power: Box says 400 rms @ 4 ohm. My amp is 2 channel 500 rms @ 4 ohm and 900 rms @ 2ohm. I wired them on a 2 ohm load.... (continued)
