    F-150 door panel removal/sound dampening

    the problem is the "plastic piece". No matter how tightly you secure the plastic, the smallest amount of bass will rattle and annoy the crap out of you. I tried the same thing and it was a waste of time. Im not dissing your ideas but im just saying that i have had this problem and i took the...

    door panel

    you definately dont want to disconnect your door handle. It could be HARD putting it back on. I had the same problem w/ my truck. I was afraid of pulling too hard and then my dad jsut pulled it really hard and the sucker popped right off. Try it. Matt.

    batteries and alternators???

    the problem may be that your alt. is worn If you have an older model than and the alt. is stock, theres our prob. You woulb be safe running a 600-750 watt amp at the MOST. your battery could die and that'll cost ya. let me know what you do. Matt.

    Need a Little Help

    since you have a small cab, it would only take one 10 in. to give you plenty of bass, if its in a good box. If you also want to be able to hear the music, i reccomend placing two tweeters on the posts that seperate your door and your windshield. You can get them pretty cheap and they give you...

    89 Maxima wiring

    if you just try trial and error and blow a couple of fuses, you might figure it out. Thats how me and my dad did it. If not, you can go to any local hardware store and order a manual for DIY repairs for that specific car. It'll only run you about 10-15 bucks. Hope it helps. Let me know how it...

    Would you take a Pioneer 8400MP or a Alpine 7995 (or 7894)?

    thats where i think your wrong. Alpine doesn't quite compare to pioneer, but that depends on what model deck you have. Matt.

    speaker pop?

    definately sounds like an alt prob. But if all you have hooked up is a deck, then your not pullin' that much from the battery. What year car are you driving? If its an older model, the alt. may be worn. Upgrading your wire wont hurt a thing. It might even help. Have your alterantor checked at...
