Thanks. I figured it was something small I just overlooked. The funniest part is that I had it switched like that the entire time in my last truck (1990 Nissan) for about a month, but the speakers were so old and messed up that it sounded the same as with the factory head unit! I guess they...

I will go switch it back to 2-way immediately. I thought it only affected the rca outputs, for in my old truck it seemed to work fine on 3-way (I switched it pre-install to make the later install easier). Thanks!

I have an Alpine CDA-9887 HU I was running in my old truck pushing the stock speakers. It seemed to work properly, but I did not get a chance to finish the real stereo before I totaled the vehicle. I just got a new truck and decided to install the HU at least for now while I put together the...

I just picked up an extended cab compact truck. I have been reading a lot about downfiring substage, but I still have questions about a few specifics. If I downfire a sub, is there a more exact calculation depending on cone area/excursion, or is the 2.5"-3" clearance below the speaker good for...

This is what I've just narrowed my choices down to for my girlfriend's car. I'm about to throw a sub in there (on her amp from a previous install). She would be satisfied with even the stock fronts, but I want to at least slap some decent coaxials in there. I was actually thinking about...

I did, but after reading a little more I ruled out those and the eDs...

Have you been able to compare them to any other shallow subs? I've narrowed it down to the Kenwood, Exile, or possibly the Lorentz if I could find some more reviews? Could anybody give more in depth reviews of any of these or comparisons between the three? Thanks

How is the SQ of those things? I was reading a few people say they get really sloppy down low... Have you compared them to any other shallows?

Generally I build my stereos from scratch, but since my girlfriend has an amp just sitting around, I'm going to work the sub around it instead. The amp is a Pioneer GM-X862, and I plan to run it bridged to get 380 watts rms @ 4 ohms. She listens to all kinds of music (including rock), so a...

Well through some initial research I've narrowed down my possibilities slightly. The sub will be going in a sealed box. Although SQ is a main priority, I do want it to get at least fairly loud =P. All I have to compare to is some Audiomobile MASS 12s I used to run. One of those would get...

More than likely yes. I don't have much fiberglass experience at all, but here is my last car (which I'm selling now). I did every bit of the install myself. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/780680/4 EDIT: Oh yeah, that was my first try at working with fiberglass at all, so don't be too...

I am going to go with only one because I need to keep the extra weight to a minimum. The car's performance is still more important to me...

Man, it seems like there a lot of different good low-power sql subs these days. Back in the day (well, like 4 years ago I guess) everybody used to be on one sub for a few months at a time at least before the next "best sql" sub was crowned or whatever. I remember the IDMax - good to know it's...

I'm not opposed to cutting the car. Hell, its 15 years old and looks like ***. It's a hella sleeper - what's under the hood is all the really matters to me with the engine swap and all =P. I'll have to get in there and make sure I have enough depth (or should I assume that some 6.5s will be...

They are located in the door panel. The rears are gone, and will not be replaced. I will only have front speakers and a single sub...
