    so 6 channel units with bluetooth almost imposible to find :(

    I have an older X790, and it's got 6 5v pre outs, also. Agreed with the x995 unit. I just picked up a JVC KD-ABT22, has bluetooth, USB, 6 pre-outs, and still has changer controls. Don't always have to buy the latest model stuff. Just scrounge thru ebay, there are plenty of sellers with "new"...

    Speakers play bass and I don't want them to.

    Sounds like that boss unit only has full range output. Set of capacitors on the speakers (bass blockers) for a 6db HPF would work. I had to do that on my bronco's "premium" amp way back when. Head unit I had at the time didn't have any High Pass Filter on the outputs. Rear of his head unit.

    Curse you Rear View!!!

    My WJ's mirror does the same thing, and my 15's are in a sealed box... I've tried the crazy glue thing... no go. I was thinking that maybe if I drill and tap a small hole in it, and put a set screw in the ball joint closest to the windshield, that'd fix it. Yea... Project for this weekend...

    which is a better location, dash or door?

    Dash speakers are (almost always) never a good spot for speakers. Doors are better. The problem with dash speakers, is you get a "smearing" effect to the sound because you now have two sound waves hitting your ears at slightly different times. 1. The sound directly from the speaker and 2. the...

    $200 or less. 2+ pre amp outs

    JVC KD-HDR70 has 3 sets of 2.5v preouts, HD Radio tuner, x-overs... and is $160 retail, closer to $120 if you shop around.

    When looking into a head unit...

    Features are gonna be up to you, but I'd make sure you have 4-5V pre-outs (3 sets of them, for future amp expansion), and it makes sense to get one with a built-in HD tuner if you are thinking of wanting that, they're pretty common nowadays. I've been happy with the sound quality of both my...

    Greetings from the Great Salt State.

    I think I just had some subs made late on a friday, or on a monday morning after a hangover, or something. The gain wasn't even up very far when I was adjusting the amp when it started to crackle. As far as the amps dying, that's an odd one. One of the monoblock amps is now in someone elses...

    Greetings from the Great Salt State.

    Yea, NY. Where our roads are dusty from November thru April. I've been tinkering with car audio since I first cobbled together my first system in my 1984 Buick Regal in 1992. Was a far cry from "good", but I was fairly broke, still living at home, and well, had to do pretty much everything on...

    Jvc kd-a925bt + ch-x1500

    First Post! Ok, now that I got that out of the way. I was able to pickup that JVC CD/MP3 changer (and a KD-SH8350) for $45. The head unit is nice, but I wanted something with a wee bit more. So, I found the A925BT. Seems pretty nice. One issue. I see it has the J-bus connector on the rear...
