Hey there folks. I installed a Kenwood DDX371 a few months ago in my 2012 Scion xB and I am running into an issue where if I play any video content on any phone or tablet, the bluetooth connected audio is out of sync with the video on the device. The video seems to lag about a second behind the...

I think in the Bluetooth settings area there is a selection for Bluetooth streaming FRONT or ALL....switch it to ALL. I had the same issue with my DDX371.

Hey there folks. I have a 2012 Scion Xb and yesterday I replaced the standard Pioneer stock radio with a Kenwood DDX371 unit. Everything is great, however the highs have changed, for the worse. With the Pioneer deck the highs were actually quite decent and at times could be a little overly...

I re-measured my hatch and it looks like the room I have available is 16" high, 19" wide and 19" deep. There is no room for the port to face rearwards as the box will be less than an inch away from the rear hatch interior panel. So I guess both woofer and port will have to go on the top. Just...

For my Skar VVX-10D2 I built the recommended ported box that measures 19x15.5x13. Its 1.44 cu.ft. tuned to 33hz. The space that I have available in the hatch of my 2012 Scion XB is 16x16x20. This will take up roughly 1/2 the cargo area in the hatch. Lookin to get a bit more oomph out of this...

I have a Skar VVX-10D2 powered by a Kenwood KAC-7205 bridged to 500watts RMS. I built the recommended ported box by Skar (1.44 cu.ft. tuned to 33hz) and its just not doing it for me. I had an old Pioneer Premere 12" (the one with the gold colored bullet heatsink for a dutcap) in a 2 cu.ft. box...

Got the Skar VVX-10D2 in today and installed it with the Kenwood 500watt RMS amp. After everything was tuned (gain set with a DMM and LP cutoff set to 85hz), this 10" sub seriously hits! A hell of alot better than my 5 year old Pioneer Premere 12" sub with the Kenwood 300watt RMS amp I had in my...

I'm in the process of building a ported box for the sub. They had no good void-less birch at Home Depot, so I just went with plain old 3/4" MDF. I took a print out of the design with all cuts drawn with dimensions using SketchUp and the Home Depot guy made all the cuts perfectly. All except for...

I know I'm new on this forum, but I too can attest that although its not an ideal product and it is being used outside of its intended use, Peel & Seal does somewhat work. I've used it on my '90 Maxima to deaden some trunk rattle and it really worked. It took 2 completely layers, but at the...

Well if it turns out not to be perfect for me, I'm sure one of my buddies will scoop it up fast. "**** yo, that shi* be droppin dude!", you know, that kinda stuff. Besides...I may just go for a ported box anyways. My box requirement was only because I have a .75 cu.ft. box that my nephew gave me...

Alright-yo! I ordered up one of the Skar VVX 10-D2 subwoofers via the paypal address with a note as to that it was for and my work shipping address. Anyone know roughly how long their shipping takes? I'm anxious as I'm going to tear my interior apart and lay down some deadening material and coat...

Looks like the Skar VVX-10 has a an Xmax of 21.32 which is nowhere near the RE XXX 10s, but are VERY affordable.

I'd love to pick up one of those Skar subs, but apparently you have to do 10 legitimate posts on that forum to access just 1 pm privilege. I understand that this is to deture scammers, but holy hell that is restrictive. Is there any way just to pm them on this forum instead?

Hey there folks. I've been out of the car stereo scene for quite a few years, but I still know all the basics. I recently got a new Scion XB and I'm needing a little bump in the hatch. I just picked up a new Kenwood KAC-7205 amp which will do 500watts RMS at 4ohms. What I'm needing is a 10" sub...
