yeh there is, but its not the sort of **** that i recommend to people who know more than the basics, and ime guessin that if you need two car parks you wont be able to pull this off. do a few hours overtime and buy wot u need, it will be a hell of a lot easier.

dont often say this, but you just hit the too hard basket. the infinity system sounds pretty **** good for a factory system and this is because all the bits including the amp and speakers are matched and special. the speakers have a very low winding resistance to make the amp perform, and if...

speaker to rca level adaptors do have their draw backs, but what are the alternatives? the pops are usually only heard when you turn it on and off, and a good quality adaptor should give no alternator noise (or whining/whistling noise), and this may be enough to get the amp in your car and...

att is a mute link to a cell phone kit so the stereo turns off or goes quiet when yor phone rings. if you dont have a ph kit, or dont know EXACTLY how to use it, tape the end of it and leave it alone.

the only way to get audio in to the factory radio/system is through the aerial socket.... try and find a gadget called an fm modulator.; it takes an audio input through a pair of rca sockets from your dvd and converts it to a fm radio signal and plugs into your radio aerial socket, and the...

but no connection thing going on at that address. had a look at the rest of the site, no amps listed at all. help? anyone?

i need a schematic diagram to fix my koiiler XM-7660 4 channel amp. i cant find any connections on the web. any body got a web site or e-mail address that might help me? the fault is in the power supply - protection circuit doug in nz dugnshel@clear.net.nz

lots of good stuff about kicker. u say your getting a crossover. do you need some thing special or does the amp(s) your looking at not have a lo pass filter (lpf) built in? the more pieces of **** you stitch into a system, the more noise, pops and so on you will have to deal with eliminating...

there are 2 ways to learn. 1 is to buy heaps of crap, make lots of mistakes, blow things up and find out how to spend heaps of time and money to create crap sounds. 2 is to ask lots of questions, some of which may sound really stupid. i went mainly down track 1. wish i'd gone down track 2...

welcome to they joys fun and grief of car audio. my name is doug, my day job is car audio, i live in new zealand. not really familiar with a lot of the american model names, but i reckon that the car or wagon you have is a 4 door 4wd. i did a neat little job once for a guy that had something...

battery backup sirens have a rechargeable battery built in to the casing. find a fairly large one and mount it in a spot under the bonnet to let the noise out as much as possible, but make it very hard or imposible to reach.... inside the bumper or under/behind the inlet manifold.....be...

smaller cables can be tucked in beside air con drain tubes, heater hoses, etc. bigger cables have to have a hole of their own. if the car is an auto, there may already be a large hole where the clutch was/should be. i have seen power cables routed under the car, but i would not do it...

not only but also use bolts through the bottom of the box before you screw in the sub, and put 2 nuts on the other side, then get a friend to hold the bolt head while you lock the nuts against each other. if any one wants your sub, the nuts and bolts will turn but not release, and if they...

i saw a car several days ago........a short circuit in the power wire where it had been put through an unprotected steel hole had caused a fire that took out the battery, the air filter, the dizzy cap, the wiper motor and half the bonnet. the car was parked up, the engine wasn't running. his...

when i get stuck for **** like this, i go trolling car sales yards for a similar make/model and have a browse. all the guys at the yards have been pretty cool so far, and the worst they can do is say no...... good luck doug in new zealand
