Oh yea, and these are the subs I'm using: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=5230 I got 2 of them and my amp for 50 bucks, so I can't complain... they sounded decent enough in my friends car...

I live in Jamestown, which is like and hour and a half southwest of buffalo. I plan on doing this cheap though, because, well, I'm cheap like that...

I've never fiberglassed before, but I can definitely make complex shapes out of wood and get them to match up and seal perfectly. I wanted to carpet it anyways, and I figured that fiberglass and carpeting wouldn't be a good combination. Do you guys think it would be a smart idea to add more air...

I'm trying to install two 10" subs into the trunk of my civic, but I want to maintain as much trunk space as possible, so i was going to build custom boxes. I was going to mount them in custom boxes that fit in the wide part of the trunk, behind the fenders, and face them both upwards and...

is it really a bad thing? My bass sounds better through my subs than it does through my bass amp, actually, although my bass amp is quite a piece of shit. The signal seems to be really clean too... the only time it makes any wierd noises is when im connecting the cable, but i do that before i...

hmmm.... the info and picture at the bottom of the first post in this thread: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198477 seem to indicate to me that hooking all those grounds together should be fine, and i could infact connect them right to my frame, or the - terminal on my...

I wanted to bring my bass guitar to a hippie fest in the woods, and I figured out that I can hook my bass up to play through my subs pretty easily, by using the circuit out of a mini amplifier & taking the headphone level output and routing it to my 600 watt 2 channel amp. So after dragging...

alright, another probably stupid question: 2 channel amp = left and right. all these low-pass high-pass things have me thinking that I can't just send the same signal to the tweeters as to the other speakers, that i might want to send just the high-pitched stuff to the tweeters. How retarded...

Ok, so this is the cheapest amp on crutchfield.com http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=120&i=023THA275&search=car+amplifier&tp=115 It appears that I could use that 3.5mm to red/white splitter, and then just hook up the speakers to the appropriate left/right...

Just googled it. Looks pretty sweet. Its a bit more than I planned on spending, but it appears to have a super slick iPod interface if you buy the adapter, you can control the ipod right from the head unit, just like that Alpine one. If im going to actually buy a head unit, its going to have to...

Hmm... I see. Well that would work. I suppose I could use a multimeter to find out which pins on that radio connector correspond to the actual speaker wires. I assume its those 8 pins i mentioned in my first post (RF+, RF-, LF+, LF-, RR+, RR-, LR+, LR-) but maybe there are more used for the...

If all else fails, this one seems legit... http://www.ugotadeal.com/product_info.php?products_id=4721&ref=froogle But i still think an amp with a 3.5mm input and a speaker level output would be cheaper. Especially if I can re-use the plug off the back of my radio and save the 20 bucks of...

hmmm.... I didn't know what those were until I just googled it... http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Z6U91ciPvVu/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=142SLC4 ...I think what that does is take speaker output and reduce it back to my iPod-ish preamp levels. Which makes it kinda a reverse amp, which is the...

if it wasn't for people with mad skills like me, your mom would have to ride shotgun and crank the phonograph for you.

also, i think head units are ugly 95% of the time...
