    SD port with FOLDER-based browsing and 5V preouts?

    What are you a cop? 5V for more powerful signal to go to my sub and speaker amps.

    SD port with FOLDER-based browsing and 5V preouts?

    Can anyone recommend any head units that have an SD card port with folder-based browsing capability? Not ID3, but folder-based browsing. How about something with 2+ 5V preouts? Single or Double DIN doesn't matter.

    Green light, then red light, now no light

    Yep, the green light came on strong as ever. I fiddled with re-seating the remote wire at the amp, and it would make a sporadically strong connection. Then, the sun went down, so I am MUCH closer to fixing this thanks to your post. I'd buy a Maxxsonics product in gratitude, but I already have...

    Green light, then red light, now no light

    I have a DEI Audio Mobile Power Series 2504 amp I purchased in 1997. It has been working fine up until today when I disconnected the battery's negative terminal to link up my Infinity 611a and subs. When I loosely reconnected the battery's negative terminal and tried to start the car, I got a...

    Speakers for 2007 Impala- Components or Coaxial?

    I have a friend who has a 2007 Chevy Impala and wants to replace the factory speakers. The front dash has tweeters and the subs in the door. Would it be okay to just replace the speakers in the door with coaxial speakers and eliminate using the dash-mounted tweeters?

    Recommendations for 6.5" full range speakers for rear deck?

    Hi! I need to replace the 6.5" speakers for my rear deck. I currently have a pair of Infinity 6012 speakers in the front doors of my 2004 Nissan Sentra. I will be running 750W total to sub woofers in the trunk and the speakers will be powered with a 4x50W RMS DEI amp, circa 1997 (runs...

    eenifinity Ref 611a, or buy Sunown 1500D?

    I have an Infinity Reference 611a, with a brith sheet that puts out about 750W at 2 Ohms RMS. Would there be any noticable increase in sound quality replacing it with a Sundown 1500D run at 2 Ohms, rated at 800W RMS?

    Tax return money to spend. I want a new DVD HU

    Put the money into a Roth IRA instead and buy a a broad-market Exchange Traded fund that buys US Small cap.

    How many Amps/Watts before need Alt Upgrade?

    I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra with a stock alternator, which puts out 50-60 amps of power. I also have a run of 1/0 power wire that can be hooked from the engine battery to a Stinger 300A trunk battery (battery not in the car right now). 1/0 wire is then run from the trunk battery to the sub...

    Should I run 1 or 2 subs?

    Hi! As a daily driver, I currently have 2 TC9 12" subs (2-Ohm DVC) rated at 800W RMS each in a ported enclosure. I used to run them off one Infinity 611a at 750Wx1 RMS at 2 Ohms. Now, I run them off a Hifonics BXi2008D, rated at 1600W at 2 Ohms. The Infinity is definitely a better-sounding...

    I hate IPods

    Apple *****. iPods *****. Click here for info on non-iPod MP3 players As stated before, all you have to do is run a line from the headset jack of the MP3 player to an Aux-in jack on the head unit. I also recommend getting a player that allows for folder-based browsing (i.e., drag and drop)...

    Going from 2 Ohm to 1 Ohm Speaker Wiring...

    Aw crap, you're right. In that case...would it be safe to run my subs on a .5-Ohm load with my current electrical setup? I'm looking to push 900W RMS to each sub plus the 4x50W speaker amp for a total wattage of 2250W

    Going from 2 Ohm to 1 Ohm Speaker Wiring...

    Sorry... The subs are 2-Ohm DVC, so they can definitely be wired to go down to 1 Ohm
