For a home-use sub, the amp at the bottom that you've shown is intended for a sub. You usually can't get a sub to run very well wired straight to the reciever; not enough power. That is why all home-use subs are self-powered by their own amp. You need an amp like the one shown (The plate amp...

Dude, that just makes me a little concerned about the ones that might be installing my alarm system when I get it. Gonna have to watch them like a hawk. I have never done work that looks that crappy--even when I did'nt know what I was doing!

I have had ATI and Invidia cards before. The one Invidia card my family does own is not to good, and has no multi-media support. I'm running an ATI All-in-wonder 8500 (128mb) and it has run like a champ for the last two years. And it has so far been able to run any game I have installed...

Get yourself some metal polish and an old sock, and try to polish the metal bracket out. A polishing compound for car scratches sometimes works to get out scratches in plastic; as long as their not too deep. Be extra careful and take your time when installing appearance items in your car. Not...

I think you should concider 1/0 awg power cable to your distribution block if you want to run a heavy sub amp plus other amps. And, you might want to make sure the alternator is up to supplying all this equipment (see below). As I understand it, Dynomating your doors is always a good idea. If...

Well here's an idea; join your local SCCA chapter and get involved in a teen autocross club. If you work hard to learn it, you'll learn how to handle a car well so when your able to get a better one, you should be able to handle it well (And be a better driver overall).

I remember reading some articles in the a Mustang magazine I read, and on long tube headers for one Mustang I was reading about they had to remove the steering shaft, put the header on and then re-install the steering shaft BETWEEN the header pipes. Pain in the neck for sure. Sorry, but I...

:hilarious Maybe next time they'll learn to hook it up the FRAME and not the plastic bumper!

That happend to an old friend of mine; playing goalie, he took a slap shot right in the crotch--split his groin cup in two; he fell to his knees, puked, then passed out. Worst pain for me? Gotta be that tooth abcess in my lower molar two years ago; that crap was intense; it was that kind...

lemans23; The amp you show in your link is intended to be mounted on the back of a sub box; it actually needs a hole in the back of the box to sit inside of; my KLH 10" sub has an amp with a similar design. For home use, it looks pretty good; as long as your not trying for high SPL. The amp...

12 awg. Stinger amp to sub; incl. inside box.

You should be able to ask someone for the test standards; what do the judges look for and what is ignored. In my english 1301 class, penmenship was excused on my final, as long as any corrections were done properly (Line-out only). It is only fair that they show you the test standards so you...

Looks like that car could use a custom treatment. Here's some ideas: 1.) Change the front four inch speakers with some good coaxials if you cannot/do not want to put speakers in the doors (See item 3) 2.) Drop down to a good quality 8" sub (Or keep the 10") and put it in a sealed enclosure...

Black (or mostly black) vehicles look great with chrome or polished rims. Chrome 17" wheels would look nice; and Mustang GT wheels fit--as long as you don't lower it very far. Neons---Not that i'm into them, but for a black and tan vehicle i'm thinking blue, purple or red. Later.

Man, I can't find hardly a dang thing for a camery with a four-banger; only thing I found was a K&N style air filter. Looks like your only options are a K&N style air filter and get a muffler shop to weld in a less restrictive custom cat-back exhaust; but don't expect big results...
