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 drive an '04 dodge ram with a hemi and an e-cutout so that everyone on the road knows I drive a big V8 engine to match the size of mah man meat. I love how when I get up right behind someone on the freeway and flash my HIDs at them they get out of my way. The windows are big enough that I can...

Well someone that discounts any opinion is doing themselves an intellectual disservice. I'm not really Dan Rather typing on the car audio forum. I'm not some puppet repeating what I hear on the news. I will say that so far, nobody arguing on behalf of conservatives has said anything that would...

Just going to address the things you mentioned. I don't want to get off on the global warming tangent too much. 1."how long did you hear that melting ice caps would cause the oceans to rise? most of the ice at the north pole is under water." But alot of it isn't. 2. "they did the math on how...

You can get all outraged all you want. It doesn't change anyone's mind on an issue. As stated before. I'm speaking in concepts, hence the long winded responses. I simply don't have the time to go through and cite everything I say, and therefore, I'm not intended to present it as fact. Me listing...

I embrace the label liberal. My first post in this thread started with "I'm a liberal from Texas and I drive a pickup." Not so much on democrat, but I'm definitely more on that side than the alternative. It's nothing close to what mainstream media provides us with. Mainstream media has to dumb...

I do feel for people that identify themselves as conservatives. They've been betrayed twice. If you look back at the particular situations, it's mainly for frivolous defense spending, where wasteful spending goes to let loose on the weekends. It's political posturing. Both sides do it, and both...
