I don't know if that title is a good description, but I'm running an 880prs head unit with 3 way active crossovers built in. I'm planning a 4 way system (speakers should be in the mail by Monday/Tuesday) for my '11 Dodge Challenger. I'm blowing a bunch of money going for a dream SQ system. It's...

I know there used to be one or two on here because I talked with them a couple years ago. For some reason "Don" sticks out in my mind. Is he still around? Are there any other authorized Dynaudio dealers on here?

90* RCAs might help a little for other reasons, but it's the forward/backward dimension that I'm concerned about. I'm thinking that the magnet to amp distance will be somewhere between 4-6" with 3/4" MDF separating the two, plus some sort of shielding. Here's another pic illustrating what's...

Can the lead be applied on the inside of the MDF "cage"? What other materials would work well for this? Would aluminum foil work? I ask because I could line the interior with sound deadener. I may be doing some LEDs or neons inside the amp cage anyway, so a reflective surface might look good if...

I'm planning out an IB system for the trunk of my new car. The idea is to build a center pillar floating amp rack with 2 subs on the sides firing into the cabin. So the subs are about 6" deep and they'll be running up to maybe 700 watts RMS at the absolute most. The amps won't fit in between...

The easiest first step into car audio is not a component set, although those are basically the only speakers any enthusiasts consider. What you might want to look into are coaxials. These are speakers where the tweeter and the woofer are combined into one speaker. Usually the tweeter sits on top...

I opened pandora's box with my 880prs. I opened it up and soldered the picofuse to get rid of the alternator whine. I'd been grounding the preamp jackets for a couple of years and the problem always seemed to come back. I'd redo the grounds and it would be good for 6 months to a year, then come...

Does anyone here sell these? I've had good luck with caraudio.com vendors in the past, but haven't been a regular visitor in a year or two.

I opened up my 880PRS and solder bypassed the picofuse. Problem is I ripped the ribbon running from the board to the faceplate mount and the faceplate is now dead. The unit is powering up and the RCAs aren't noisy anymore, but the unit is unusable without the faceplate. I need the ribbon, plus...

I bought some 265.25 SLC Kick NGs from him and everything went smoothly. They hadn't made it to the U.S. yet from Germany, so there was some delay in shipping, but totally not his fault, and he kept me updated on the status through the whole process. Great price, great seller, and great speakers!

Nice looking ram! I've got my integrated a pillar tweeter pods halfway finished in my garage right now: Covered them over pretty good in a bondo/fiberglass mix. I've had to redo it once already, so this time I'll put in the sanding time it deserves and hopefully get it right. Nice...

In before ban!

Initially yes. You do have to unbolt the seats to get behind there. But, you can flip the bracket upside down once you get the seat off and turn it into a "jumper seat". When you fold the seats up about half way, you can pull on the seat back and it will come down in the future. When the seats...

I got in my Rainbow 265.25 Kick NGs on Friday, and I've got everything wired up and playing, but now it's time to mount the tweeters. It's going into an '04 dodge ram and I'll be fiberglassing some pillar pods. There's countless tutorials on fiberglassing, so I'm not as worried about that, but...

Nerd time.... I like it because it's a harmonious math equation that if worked out properly you can hear the product of your efforts. Plus it's a great hobby, and gives you a sense of accomplishment when you finish putting in a full days work and nothing is broken. Sadly, at first I liked...
