Morel > Focal > Hertz If you balk at their prices, then consider Audiofrog, JL Audio, and Rockford Fosgate speakers. You will need a DSP or quality EQ ideally to take full advantage of any speakers and sound deadening to significantly increase the volume and lower range without introducing...

I didn't say all, I said most. It's something like 90%+ market share. It's not wrong that there are more, but when it comes to batteries the scale at which they manufacture them is going to make their prices hard to beat, unless it's heavily marketed junk like Optima and Interstate.

The largest AGM battery that will fit. You don't need to go extreme with lithium cells or anything at this stage. Alternator and AGM will be just fine. AGMs are much lower internal resistance so they can put up with larger draws w/ lower voltage drop. Don't worry too much about the brand, most...

If you can afford it, then get an AGM, biggest one you can fit. Retail source doesn't matter since basically every battery is going to be made by Johnson Control anyways (just with different stickers on it). Just get the cheapest unless you want a warranty. The big flashy brands like optica and...

Ironically it was a tropical storm from Texas that caused it lol.. The midwest is weird. I had insurance.. it coulda been way worse. Deductible only 200 for 7k of damage.. just the progress that I'm most disappointed with. And of course hoping that the car will look the same as it did when...

I'd like new hertz 169.3 speakers... for the inside of my car though. My real christmas present is finally getting these dents taken care of on my car from a hail storm that happened in April. 20% of the cars on the road here have dents in them now so the waiting periods for the reputable PDR...

I've never heard that particular sound before coming from subs. My guess would be a loose connection on the signal cable or the amp going into protect like Buck said. It's possible that it's also a weak ground since it starts later on in a song. Do you get it while the car is at speed too? Lower...

Just think of it as a bump that keeps it at the top of the forum, so long as it's not actual spam like people who post 10 posts with 10 pictures instead of one post with 10 pictures.

Yeah honestly depending on the year (and price) of the car stock systems aren't amazing but they're 100x better than they used to be in the 90's. My friend just got a 2017 Dodge Ram with the base package and it has somewhat sound deadened doors, the ability to play sustained audible 30hz tones...

It depends on what exactly they did to it. New Amplifier? Make sure your fader/balance still works, that the fuses that went in the power cable(s) from the battery are the correct amperage, observe the brands they used during the install, if any of the wires are visible in the car. Make sure...

Sound intensity is about air displacement (working surface area of the cone and x-mech), resonance (the box/your vehicle), and air pressure (the ability of your subwoofer to compress and your box design). An 8" sub has lower displacement if it has the same throw as a 15", but in my opinion...

What's with these new people resurrecting old dead threads? Take that website's advice with a hefty grain of salt since they're completely amazon-revenue-driven. Ever heard of honestmattressreviews.com? Here's the only lawsuit you ever need to read about to make you think twice about those...

I suggest you take Pop's advice on separating the amps into two project steps (and his recommendations for which ones are good too). Sound deadening is far more important than even the amp will be most likely unless your head unit is truly terrible where the door speakers are concerned. You...

That's perfectly okay, but just make sure you use more than one frequency of 0db sine wave files before you write it off completely. The gain knob position isn't an accurate depiction of volume.

Yeah, same reason we've got so many bots on the website. It's a popular all in one forum solution so there's all sorts of automated scripts written around it, both nefarious and helpful ones.
