OK, I've looked at the rubber boot in my door and it looks like the wires that exit the door end up into some type of plug in connector, so fishing new speaker wires thru it probably isn't an option. Can the factory speaker wires (06 Ford F150) handle 200 watts per side feeding my BA comps? The...

OK I'm confused........................ I will be installing a set of Boston Acoustic Pro 60's in the doors of my 2006 F150 SuperCrew. The head unit will be a Pioneer DEH -P860MP that will drive the factory rear speakers. The comps will be driven by a US Amps XT 1600.2. 1) Is deadening the...

I had a CQ-C9800U that did the same thing at about 23 on the volume scale. Funny thing is that this only happened while playing CD's. The tuner would play louder without cutting out. This model had the class T amp and was crystal clear up to the point of cutting out. I will always wonder if I...

I have a pair of Boston's Pro 60's that I need an amp that will drive them. I have read that they love power and am considering JL's 300/2 to drive them (150 x 2). Is this enough or is a more powerful amp desirable? How much is enough to drive these Puppies? I only want to do this once. firearm

I have a 2006 Ford F150 Super Crew in which I will be replacing the entire audio system. The one thing that I have settled on comps in the front door (BA Pro 50'S). I am undecided as of right now on using rear fill but would like to hear opinions on a good quality amp in the $500.00 range. The...

Did you install tweeters in the empty hole? Thanks for the reply

I have a 2006 Ford F150 Supercrew that has the standard (4) 5 x 7 speaker setup. In the front doors there is an empty hole above the 5x7's. I am guessing that they are for upgraded audio option with comps that they offer. Anybody have any experience with this? Could a 6-1/2 driver fit in the...

Awesome, keep the ideas coming! Thanks firearm:yumyum:

I have a 2006 Ford F150 Super Crew pickup truck that needs a new audio system. My budget is $1500.00 Limitations are as follows: The subwoofer and its amp must fit under the rear seats. Mids must remain in the doors (5x7 openings) with their amp fitting under the passenger seat Please share...

I have the test tones and the meter but I don't know what eq settings I will use because I will be installing all new everything and of course can't know what settings I will like. How would one go about setting gains that would allow for eq experimentation? How far under the target voltage...

I have been using a CQ-C9800U for about 3 months now. If definitely doesn't overheat. I don't know what the true power output is but the sound is clean and clear powering (4) 5 x 7 Kappas in a 2005 F150 Supercab. In addition to this I use a Diamond Audio 10" CM3D4 powered by a JL Audio 250/1 amp...

x2 on the under $400.00 9835. Anybody know where they might be?

No other aftermarket gear however I do tow a boat occasionally. Is this cause for concern? I don't want to risk any type of problem.

I would like to purchase a 4 channel amp rated at 100-125 watts RMS for each channel. My alternator is rated at 110 amps. Is this feasible, or do I need to look at a lower powered amp? Electrical system upgrades are not an option. Any amp suggestions welcome (if my electrical system can...

The 9855 doesn't have the V-Max amp? Was this a problem area in the 9835?
