I think the question regards whether or not he can remove the factory wiring with his big 3 in place for a cleaner look. If that's the question, the answer is yes, so long as you have replaced everything with regards to the wiring you plan on removing.

I'm not saying that it's going to have noise, I'm saying that it's a bogus spec. It's like comparing a Samsung to a Sharp based on contrast ratio. It means absolutely nothing since there isn't an industry standard for it. Both TVs could look great (I wouldn't know as I'm colorblind), but the...

And then you have to ask yourself, "Are the testing standards the same across the board for signal to noise ratios?" The answer: probably not.

That's the difficult part. Not only that, but all the '05 stuff integrates really well. The Amp Link allows my head unit to communicate and control the amps without getting back at the amps and removing the covers to make changes. It also displays the fan status of the amps and the amp...

I'm not sure, but I think the replacement I got from them was right before all that crap happened with them jumping the border.

Yeah. I've known that. I just always thought the pico fuse epidemic was a Pioneer thing. My theory is, if we're smart enough to get online to talk to people about car audio stuff, we should be smart enough to not hot swap something that's not hot swappable. That's asking too much from today's...

I finished up pulling the system out of the Jeep yesterday and ran the speaker wire directly to the back of the HU. As I previously said, I'm now running my 1720Cs actively from the head unit. Surprisingly, it worked. I had my doubts. Equally as surprisingly, it actually sounds pretty decent...

I've been running the same Optima YT in my Caprice for years now without issue. I've drained it a handful of times. I keep it on a charger during the winter months. Is it that much better than any other battery? Probably not. Have I had issues with it. Yes, but it was my fault. You're not...

So throwback to the first page here, but was that meme serious? Since when does Alpine have the pico fuse issue? That was always a Pioneer issue.

I'm glad someone bought it because I was going to jump on it for that price. I'd have some splaining to do to the prego wife if this showed up at my door...

A couple things... The Fi's are definitely great subs that I'd recommend to anyone looking to get a decent daily sub without spending an arm and a leg. They're loud, they're clean, they blend well... I'm more than happy with them. They gave me that bump in volume I was missing with the Tidal...

BTW, that's a badass HU you've got.

People tend to **** on the CVX here, quite a bit. I ran a set of the '06 model a few years ago and liked them a lot. I had a pair of them in 4.5 cubes tuned to 30 Hz on just 1 kW. It was more than loud enough for my liking. I downsized to get my trunk back and then decided to run some rebranded...

If I wasn't in the process of two Jeep builds right now, this would be going in my car. You sir, have a nice unit. GLWS!

I recently just swapped a pair of Tidal Audio REF-TM12.4s (Image Dynamics ID12D4V3) for a pair of Fi X 12s with dual 2 ohm coils. My setup is more of an SQ setup. The X's blend really well when turned down but get loud if I crank them. I'm running them on an old Alpine V12 MRD-M1005 in a 2.5...
