    looking for recommendations! help

    What are you driving? Are the stock speakers really that decent? My first move has always been to replace the factory speakers with actual 2-way or 3-way speakers. Most factory speakers use whizzer cones to produce the highs and alot of the middle, it is a terrible way to produce sound, but...

    *throws up*

    A Denali? I notice the rolls grille? What is the throw up comment? I like the ******* rear doors, classy approach if your using it for a limo service, etc.

    looking for recommendations! help

    This is the kind of response that drives me crazy! The word components doesn't just refer to your front-end speakers - it refers to your entire system and the individual pieces (components) that make it. Your sub is only 1 speaker to help your sq package - your desire to focus on the sub gives...

    looking for recommendations! help

    This is a dual-sided response, beware! I have to question what kind of sound quality (sq) you are looking for on your low budget? I ask this pointedly, because I think it is difficult to find sq quality components on a lower budget. I think you can find components that sound good, but...

    What music do you like to demo to peeps?

    I know this sounds crazy, but I once heard, "The Mask" soundtrack (yes, Jim Carrey) on a huge sound system. Back end of the truck had 24 subs in it, with great sound up front as well. anyway, the guy played the first part of "Cuban Pete" and when the bass hit, I thought I had heard the brown...

    Extending Remote Control Range

    Hello all - I just bought a Kenwood MPV-5028 head unit w/Sirius and love it, except for the simple fact that I thought the remote would work from outside the truck, but I can barely get it to work from inside the truck. I changed the batteries with no significant improvement. Am I wrong to...

    why such a small space???

    I don't know how the Tacoma double Cab is laid out, but look at the center console if you don't have a bench seat up front. I am currently designing a replacement console for my chevy suburban and found that it has a lot of room. I am putting a 10" sub, with space for a dvd player and monitor...

    Need amp to speaker wiring help!

    N2Audio - Thanks for the info about the Scosche amp. I have never heard of the name before and figured it wasn't worth it. If the amp is "decent" then I will just run both amps.

    Need amp to speaker wiring help!

    It is a kenwood KAC-606. Only puts out 50x2 stereo, 150x1 mono bridged, but I am not looking for alot of power. Just some fill for the time being. I also have a Scosche that I was given . I found the amp at Walmart, thus I am not sure I want to bother installing an amp that doesn't seem to...

    need box designed for 8 12"s

    I don't have a way of putting my visual concept into this forum, but I was figuring that since the show is this weekend and you need something quick. Why not just do a large box with a bunch of smaller boxes inside to make up the 8 chambers. The sheer thought of 8 subs in the back of a...

    Need amp to speaker wiring help!

    My first post... great site! I have a 2 channel amp that I want to install so that it runs a 4ohm DVC sub on 1 channel and 2 6x9 speakers on the other channel. The sub is rated to hold a 2ohm load in stereo and a 4 ohm load bridged. My preferred setup (although I can't figure out if this is...
