Turned out to be the wiring. Pulled it all and rewired and everything works now. Thanks guys

Yeah, I'm actually thinking it's corroded speaker wires. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure we just used speaker wire that we had laying around when we wired it up a couple years ago. That probably means steel wiring that's probably very corroded at the speaker connections. Gonna try the...

Last season, we ended with only 4/6 speakers in the boat working. Now that it's about time to pull it back out again, I'm trying to figure out what's up with this audio system. I know this is a car audio forum, but I figured you guys would be my best bet at talking through this with me. Setup...

Oh trust me, I have read almost all of them. I'm very close to buying one, but I've just started reading about the SD-3 with the new surround and am tempted to wait on that one. I know you guys have been doing a ton of testing on the new versions so I'm sure they'll be great (although I know the...

That's one of the reasons I'm considering the SD-2... same surround and close to the same build as the SA8, but under hung design and optimized for small sealed boxes. Should do just fine on the low end. I've also read that the ID8's are great on the low end, but don't take as much power. Either...

I posted this over on DIYMA a few days ago, so sorry for those of you who browse both. I would just like to know if there are any differing opinions over here. Looking for something to fill in my lows. Currently running SB Acoustics SB17NRXC35-4 and SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC/G active for my front...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Since these are going in a newer Jeep Wrangler, the mids will be mounted in pods in the front of the dash. The pods are just above and to the left of the drivers knee, and above/right of the passengers knee. They are sealed plastic pods that just mount behind a...

I'm looking at running an active setup using a Pioneer AVH-X2700BS for crossing over. They will be powered by an NVX MVPA4 (50Wx4@4 ohms, 100Wx4@2 ohms). What mid/tweet combo would be the best to run in this setup? Budget is roughly $200 (less is better, a little more is reasonable). Second...

Got about half my budget right now... already have the stereo, but should I do my component setup first, or keep stock speakers and grab the sub setup first? The vehicle is a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. Since it's still pretty new, the stock speakers aren't AWFUL, but they're not very good either.

No rear speakers is also an option! I'm new to active setups, so I don't really know what I want yet. What I was going to do was run the tweeters on the front channel, and both the front and rear mids on the rear channel. That way I would get the correct ranges for each speaker, but just lose...

It'll be going in a Jeep, where the rear speakers are in a sound bar right behind your head. I hate having tweeters right there because it just sounds really weird. Figured I would be happier with just mids there. I'll be using one of the new Pioneer double dins which have 3 way active crossover...

Looking to upgrade the audio in my Jeep. I'll be running 2 sets of 6.5" mids, 2 1" tweets, and a small subwoofer somewhere (all active setup). At first I'll be using headunit power for the mids/highs, and then I will be using a mini amplifier behind my dash that should put out around 50rms. Are...

Just connect the phone via BT!

Not a whole lot of info out on them yet, but from what I can tell, it appears to be the same crossover setup that the 80prs uses. I mean it honestly wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to sink a bunch of money in creating a new system when they have one already in the 80prs that everyone loves.

That was one of my exact questions when comparing them... but to be honest I rarely listen to the radio anyway, so it doesn't bother me all that much. I'm almost always listening from a phone via bluetooth or occasionally via XM.
