    Which Speakers? Boss P65.4C or Rockford Fosgate R165x3? Help me choose, please.

    Will do. In fact, I listed the Boss PC65.4Cs on the classifieds and already have a buyer - 2 pairs for $75.00 CAD - my cost. I'm looking forward to hearing the RF speakers, though I won't start installation until the spring - probably late May. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info, bigblank69. I'm feeling more confident about the Dual amp.   ---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------   Awesome information. Thanks very much!

    Thanks! I notice that the Scosche 4-channel amp is unavailable online. Given your 'review' and my previous experience with Scosche, I likely would have bought one of those amps. I am optimistic, though, that the Dual digital low profile amp I bought will work out well. I appreciate the help.

    Thanks Stones. That does look like a great little amp and probably would have been perfect for my wee Yaris. I had a set of Scosche 5,25s in the dash of another vehicle. I was impressed by the price/performance ratio. They sounded cyrstal clean and actually produced a wee bit of audible bass. I...

    Dang, the links are not taking me directly to the products, but rather some "viglink" page. I'll search for each item on amazon. Thanks,

    Thanks for the link to ct sounds. They have a 4-channel (M400.4) that looks good for $149.99. That would definitely have been within my budget for that piece. I live very close to the US border and I only have to pay 15% tax to get it in to Canada. I didn't check out their shipping charges. I...

    Sorry, not exactly sure what you're getting at. If you're talking about the NVX powered sub I linked, the only reason I bought that is so it can fit under the seat. I can't give up any room elsewhere in the car. I don't expect it will perform nearly as well as the MTX I have in my van which...

    Actually, the Dual 4-channel amp I bought is also korean made. I wasn't looking at amps as I already bought that one. I run a Clarion XC1410 in my current van and also ran one in my former Kia crossover. These proved to be good amps at a very reasonable price.

    Thanks for the input. I watched an amp dyno test on the Dual monoblock from the same series and the reviewer seemed quite impressed, specifically with its output. Here is a video link: Maybe Dual has improved its products. I think I did read that somewhere. I expected that the Boss products...

    Hi All. Looking for opinions if you're willing. A little background... I am building very much a budget system for my teeny tiny 2006 Toyota Yaris RS 5-door hatchback. I will be adding some sound deadening material to the doors and a few other spots. The head unit is a factory fit Chinese...

    Newbie with perplexing intermittent cycling amp protection mode problem

    Have discovered what I suspect is a damaged speaker. Maybe it's contributing to my amp protection mode. My driver's side 6.5" (Cadence) is seriously rattling and distorting even at lower volumes. Just ordered a set of Massive Audio LX6 2-ways. Likely a significant upgrade from the Cadence (which...

    Newbie with perplexing intermittent cycling amp protection mode problem

    Thank you. I think I will follow your suggestion. I have some extra 8 gauge wire, terminal ends and a fuse holder. My fuse holder looks like 10 gauge wire and is a blade style with a cap. This is what I used in my Rondo - one line for amp and one line for subwoofer - and it's worked fine. Each...
