My friend has an SRT-4 and he's replacing the front speakers, amping them, and installing a new head-unit. We went through the sonicelectronix site, and judging from his budget, came up with these choices. Head Unit Eclipse CD5100 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8737_Eclipse+CD5100.html#...

Slow discharge, what's that exactly? From the way you worded it, I assume that it's a bad thing? Jesus, and for the one that Kinetik recommends, the 1400 (I typed in 1000 watts RMS), it's MSRP is $400.00. Jesus, are batteries really that expensive?

Where can I buy a deka? I was suggested a deka intimidator by the Pontiac forum I belong to, but didn't get any other information. How about Kinetik? The local shop was trying to tell me he could give me a killer deal on one. But I'm unsure how killer of a deal it was when he thought $150 for a...

Um, I'm not sure. The stock battery group is 75/25 if that helps.

I suspect my battery is going bad. If I leave my stereo on for more than 20 minutes, I can't start the car back up. Also when I hit the brakes, my lights dim (keep in mind my sound system consists of 4 speakers running off of a head unit). I plan on amping my speakers and a sub very soon off of...

Is a 6.5 going to be a huge improvement from a 5.25? The way it looks, I might have trouble putting a 6.5 in the door without hitting the window track.

Ideally I'd like to buy new for warranty and such. And the RF power comps are the same price as my other choice, the Infinity Kappa 6.5 comps. Any idea on what the top mount depth is for the RF's?

Hey everybody, I got a Sony MEX-DV2000, a set of Alpine Type-R 5 1/4 comps in the front doors, and Alpine Type-R 6X9's in the rear deck. I installed this all in the summer of last year. It was a replacement for my stock system in my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT. It sounds decent, but unfortunately I...

Sadly I have to visit my parents today, so I'm going to have to get all the wiring under the carpet and put everything back together, whether or not it works. I'll get a DMM and take it apart tomorrow morning and hopefully sort it all out.

Never seen the setting in any of the menus, so I imagine it's on.

I have my RCAs hooked up to "rear audio out" on my deck. On my deck I have subwoofer turned on. I know that my deck has a separate dongle which plugs into the back, which houses the "sub out" as well as a few other outputs, but I'm not sure where I put that dongle. I figure I should still get...

Alright, I stripped the amp of everything but the ground, power, and remote on, and it still has a constant red light, which leads me to believe it is simply an indication of power being supplied to the amp. After checking the RCAs and speaker wire numerous times, I'm beginning to think that...

No sir. I get a feeling your reply will say something like "get one".

My lord, all the jokes suddenly make sense. I assumed you were just a weird group of people, but I could see how some people might find my choice of wording funny. Anyways, thanks for clearing it up. Ha, noted for future reference.

Is there some kind of inside joke regarding this emergency mode? I thought I heard the word used before in the context, but I might have imagined it. Regardless, any help would be appreciated.
