    I'm Looking for a Specific Sub, What Do You Suggest?

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Image Dynamics. Do they still make good subs nowadays? I always wanted an IDQV2 12". If I only want to run one subwoofer, should I go with the 2 Ohm or 4 Ohm?

    I'm Looking for a Specific Sub, What Do You Suggest?

    Hello, I'm looking to purchase a new subwoofer for ~$200. I want a 12" sub. A few years ago I had one 12" Type-R and it was loud enough for me. I listen to a lot of music -- classic rock, rap, jazz, funk, whatever. I need a sub good enough to feel the bass when I'm listening to rap or a...

    Alright, so basically get rid of the Track, Year and Genre? These won't mess up any search features on the player? All my music files are in the same format, ##. Artist - Song ... I'm assuming that once I get rid of the Genre tags I can't play songs by Genre, not that I ever did anyways, haha...

    I don't like iPods and I am a poor college student who is making do with what I got. Plus I got this HDD specifically 'cuz I heard they work with the iDA-X's, haha. Just read up on mp3tag, I'll give it a try!

    So I just installed my iDA-X200 the other day and am loving it! I'm using a 160GB Western Digital MyPassport Essential USB external hard drive with it. I formatted it to FAT32. I have 37GB of music on it, mostly mp3s. I have some FLAC and m4a files that I'm going to convert to mp3 because I...

    Who runs rear comps?

    My friend's 1997 VW Golf has stock tweeters in the doors in the rear seats, I always thought that was a little weird...

    New Car, New Plans... New Advice..?

    Well, I have stock tweeter locations up front, so I wanted to go with a component set-up up front, but I'll look into the ARC KS's anyways. Thanks!

    New Car, New Plans... New Advice..?

    Well, in my last two vehicles, I only had a front set-up without rears. I did it for SQ purposes, but since this is such a budget set-up its obvious it won't be SQ oriented. Also, I just didn't like the sound of no rear-fill, so I want to try it this time. The budget for the front speakers...

    New Car, New Plans... New Advice..?

    Well, the set-up would be a combination Christmas / Birthday present from my parents this year. They still live in 1998 and are weary and scared of buying things off the internet. So, I was trying to use as few websites as possible, never mind PayPal or eBay, sorry. As much as I'd love a set...

    New Car, New Plans... New Advice..?

    Okay, so I've got myself a new car and its time to upgrade the audio. This is an extreme budget build, so the cheaper the better. The plan is to start with a new HU, buy front and rear speakers and an amplifier to run them off of. The head unit I decided on is the Alpine iDA-X200. Unless you...

    Thanks. What's the maximum number of files? All my songs are sorted. The songs are all in ##. Artist - Title format inside an album folder which is inside the artist folder. Most of my music files are 192 - 320kbps mp3s so I'm not too worried about that. What is this adaptor?

    So I've been thinking about getting a iDA-X200 for my car. The car came with crappy JVC 6.5"s up front and Sony Xplod 6x9"s in the back and since I am broke, those will have to do for now. I've always been a Pioneer fanboy, but the new iDA-X series has peaked my interest. The CD player I end...

    Old Eclipse 14 Pin Wire Harness

    Hello all, Long time no talk. Got a new car, time for a CD player installation. However, since I'm apartment hunting this leaves me with pretty much no money. My friend was kind enough to lend me his old Eclipse ESN 5340 CD player. However, it seems he misplaced/lost the wire harness that...

    New Car - New Head Unit - Big Plans

    Hey guys, long time no see! Well, I've completed my first year of college and I've bought myself my first car that I actually own (and not my dad). It's a 1998 Dodge Avenger. It's a 5 speed (still have to learn that) with 108,XXX miles and for $2,000 it's not bad. However, I'm looking to...
