To be honest I don’t use anything. Haven’t carpeted a box in 20 years, I just leave them bare wood as I like testing stuff, swapping stuff around, subs, boxes, amps, etc, so hasn’t made any sense to carpet or apply any finish; nothing I put in my car is permanent so no reason to finish it...

That Bluetooth speaker looks pretty cool. The last couple years I’ve been thinking about building something similar out of old speakers/ subs/ scrap wood but haven’t gotten around to it. I have a few small Bluetooth speakers and they just aren’t that great when I’m in the yard or driveway...

I’ve never used bed liner so no idea what the differences are. My thought is do some research, or maybe watch some videos on each brand and see what people think; probably not going to help much, but perhaps worth 20 minutes of browsing around. I would try to find the one that dries the fastest...

I agree with others, just buy the OFC. My last wiring was oversized CCA, and while it still works, and looked okay when I peeled the heat shrink off to inspect the end for corrosion, the scrap pieces I had in the garage corroded way more than OFC I’ve had. Don’t get me wrong, I sized up to...

Those look like decent cheaper options for sure and probably fine for some systems, but I agree, Audiocontrol has been making high quality stuff for a long time, so definitely one I trust more. I still have a AC Overdrive Line Driver from the mid 90's and works fine last I recall, though it's...

That looks like a decent basic remote for the purpose. (y) I hate the amps / units that use the remote for a "bass boost" at 45hz or whatever frequency.

I'd use whichever controls the level, and not the bass boost. I think Rockford PEQ remote controls the "bass boost" at specific frequency, which to me is not very good for a remote. I'd lean towards the Audiocontrol, although I don't know how it function on the AC unit. I did a quick search...

You can rip a CD on to a computer, and then transfer the music files on to a flash drive. I haven’t done it in a while, but was fairly simple to do on Windows as long as the PC has a disc drive, which also seems less common on modern computers. You need to know what type of music files the head...

Based on your first post I'd start with the ground, reinstall the amp, and then run a different wire straight to the battery negative or engine block, if you have any spare wire to do this test. Can of course also inspect the terminals at the end of the old wire, look for rust or corrosion on...

My question is, since 8.8v is quite a large voltage drop from 14v, is the amp getting hot, or it's power wiring? If the amp was causing the voltage to drop that low, that means it is drawing a somewhat substantial amount of current, which is accompanied by smoke / overheating if the amp is...

I use Titebond II or Titebond III wood glue and a air power Brad or finish nailer. Quick, easy, tight reliable joints. Apply the glue to the joint, clamp if needed to keep the panel aligned and fire the finish nails in. Give the glue a day to dry and you're done. No need for any crazy caulking...

I use to bump this album a lot when I was a teen. Definitely had a lot of bass. A bit higher old school bass, so not for the hair trick wind machine systems.

This track has constant sinewaves, so be careful, this is the sort of thing that will stress electrical system, amps and subs = smoke. Not sure why the THX in the title, this track was from a 90's Boston Acoustic compilation bass CD, track name is WooferCooker though.. And my favorite bass...

Looks awesome! Keep us posted on the system for it. We had a 1992 Olds Eighty Eight Royale, it road real nice until the engine blew a head gasket I think it was. It still looked nice but it ended up sitting for a few years questioning what to do with it.
