    I need to buy a 300 amp alt for my 2016 Ford Focus. Anyone with a focus know where I can buy one that will fit my car? I can’t find any. Thanks.

    What I did in dealing with an insurance company after a total loss

    TLDR: Detailed experience in dealing with insurance after taking a total loss on my stereo and how I avoided taking a 1,400% loss on It. I thought it‘d be useful to show others what happened when I made an insurance claim for my system and what I went through to not take a 1,400% loss. I...

    Need help buying a sedan for a comp system

    That won’t work unfortunely, I’m looking to spend about 4-5k and have it be around 10 years old.

    Need help buying a sedan for a comp system

    Hi, My old car caught fire and was totaled out. I’m looking for a 4 door car with a trunk that can fit 2 Sundown NS v4s, 2 group 31 batteries, and an amp rack for my Orion HCCA 8k and a mids and highs amp. I had all this in the trunk of my 99 Camery. Being able to buy at least a 300amp alt...

    Sudden realization on Soundstage and T/A

    I've been into home and car stereos and EDM for 20 years. One thing that always annoyed that crap out of me is when your listening to drum and bass or any fast bass based music and the bass is always a split second behind the rest of the song. With my kenwood ddx6702s it dawned on me to adjust...

    New headunit. Lower volume/sound quality

    It's got 22 watts x4 so you should be good on watts. I've got the ddx6702s and never had any volume issues.

    My box meters the same forwards and backwards, why?

    I didn't think about that. The first meter was at the kick panel at Meca and the second I think was at the headrest. My amp clamps at around 3,200 watts. I'm going to upgrade to a coupl HCCA SPL 15s or ZV5s and see if I can get the box rebuilt because facing it forward makes a lot of bass in...

    My box meters the same forwards and backwards, why?

    The box is as wide as the backseats, the port is I between the two subs firing forward. The box takes up my entire trunk

    My box meters the same forwards and backwards, why?

    I went to a Meca comp and had my car metered. I have a 99 camery. The subs used to face the tail lights and now they face into the car. With the 6x9s installed it meters at 145.1 with them removed it meters at 145.5, with the box facing forward instead of toward the tail lights it meters at...

    BNIB TC Sounds 5200 Custom splaudio softs

    Wish you had 2 of them. BTW, what is the stuff that is inside the hole the voice coil goes in? Does that need to be drilled out? How do you align the voice coil?

    How can I make my sub kick clearer

    Does it sound like a thunderstorm of low boomy bass where it's supposed to hit hard and doesn't really have anything to do with the song
