In my opinion I would get working 6x9s in the back. I'm going to assume what is up front is a 4x6" or comparable and those probably won't play very low. A decent 6x9 and a 4-channel amp should definitely round out the sound. I had the low quality infinity coaxials years ago and I thought they...

What size are your fronts? Do you know if they're component or coaxial? What do you have in the rear?

Hey everybody, I have a '97 VW Jetta with the stock alternator. (I'd like to upgrade to an HO, but the car has 170k, and I'm not sure it's worth dropping the $, but that's another discussion). Besides that, I have an Orion 2400D amp, and a 4 channel orion amp... I don't remember the model, but...

...Also, sorry for posting 3x in a row, but you want to make sure the bass isn't all the way turned down on the HU when you're setting your gain on your amp. If the bass is down you are going to end up adjusting your gain higher than it needs to be to compensate. Gain is the sensitivity of the...

However, let's not rule out the fact that maybe your pioneer sub was defective out of the box. I've had 3-ways that I've hooked up before and they smoked in minutes (even though they were rated highly). I'm just saying that it could be a fluke that this second sub is smoking from the get go...

I am running your same Pioneer sub 3002d4 off of an Orion 2500d amp. I have it wired down for 2 ohms, which pushes the amp to 1700 watts RMS, according to the manual. My sub pounds. Granted, probably not comparable to any sort of competition level sub, but I agree with everyone here that there...

I did some more reading on the Pico fuses, as I'd never heard of them before. I took the HU apart, put a meter on it, and BINGO. I haven't replaced or modified the fuse as of yet, I reassembled the HU, put it back in the dash and grounded the RCA cables. This has fixed 95% of the problem, but...

I have had my car stereo installed for about a month, and up until 2 weeks ago it sounded wonderful. At the time I was running an older Pioneer DEH-8600MP head unit, an Orion 8004 4-channel amp at about 100w x 4 rms to power 4 6-1/2" pioneer speakers, an Audiobahn A1500-HCT amp to power a 12"...
