Does anyone have any cdt reviews? May look into getting one or two qes 820s to replace my 10" solo classic if  needed when changing amps. Going from 450 @ 2ohm to just over 900. Kicker is in a truck style box under cargo area in a rav4. Sounds decent enough but wanting just a bit more. I could...

Anybody using one? Thinking of going back to stock jbl head unit with 6 disk changer and xm and bt. 2011 Rav4. Have a nice 5 channel already in with older jvc deck to use the 12 disk changer(mp3) I had. Does it work fine without a dsp or anything else? I really like having a changer as I have...

I had the volume at 40 and adjusted the gains. Much better now. I think the speaker gains were a bit too high.They were almost 50% now I have them just over 25%. Sub gain is just over 50% now as opposed to 80% or so. I had the sub volume on 7 out of 8 when setting.The kicker and Eclipse both...

It does have a subwoofer volume. It goes up to 8 I believe. With gain way up I still have to have subwoofer volume up to 6 or 7 to get tolerable bass. If I turn on the "loud" setting for lower volumes the sub sounds better but then there is more bass to everything from having the "loud" setting...

Have the Eclipse in. Sounds really good up front and in rear doors. Gains are about 35-40% and can't listen much over 30-35 out of 50 on volume. Having issues with the Sub. I know this amp is supposed to receive lower preamp outputs but I have the gain almost maxed out and sub still doesn't...

Soundstream RN5.2000D

My RF Punch 75.2 ?

Do you think it would stay cool down under a rav4 cargo area or wouldn't you recommend it? Possibly under a seat if it would fit? if neither options work I will put it on back of back seat.I know the Kicker got quite warm so the Eclipse should be cooler. Sound was fine for me so if this sounds...

Due to size constraints I will probably be putting in my Eclipse XA5000 instead of my Kicker zx700.5. When I used the Kicker in my Blazer it got pretty warm. I have had the Eclipse a few years but never got around to installing it in my other vehicle so I never used it. I am down to one vehicle...

I am just trying to experiment with the crossovers as I may try to run active in the future. I can not figure out how to turn it on. I have read the manual , reviews,and even watched a video , but still no luck. Anybody know how to get the crossovers activated? Which buttons and any certain order?

Is it possible to keep the stock head unit and add one of the 5 channel amps I have? Also replace the factory speakers. So keep the head unit but nothing else Bose related? That way I retain bluetooth and steering wheel controls and chimes etc. I have a 5 channel , a 4 channel and a 2 channel...

Went to another city and a more well known shop in Rochester this past weekend. Their install guy said to just add a loc and a sub amp and not bother with speakers if keeping the stock unit. I don't know why I can't get any good info on installing speakers and my own amps and possibly keeping...

That's what I thought but the guy kept saying keep the bose amp and stock radio. Just replace the speakers and add an amp for the sub.He also said that changing radios and using a different amp wouldn't sound much better than the bose amp. I have a few amps to use and a hu that I like(jvc...

OK. Stopped at the nearest install shop and got some info. The guy said to just replace the speakers and keep the bose amp and head unit and add an amp just for the sub. He kept saying Bose interface this and Bose interface that. Is it such a big deal to replace the stock deck(I do not care...

Would it be worth it to just replace the door speakers? I've heard yes and no with the bose system.
