You're welcome. I assume that the link still took you to his site. I forgot that the link needed updating when I copied it from my favorites folder. The new link is http://www.bcae1.com/ Later, Have fun with your install.

Yes, you can. Go here - Basic Car Audio Electronics and scroll down the links on the right-hand side to #36, which is "relays". Really good info on hooking up a relay in your circuit. Good luck.

There's some decent info in the Crutchfield Learning Center Another good place to get links to articles and such would be eCoustics - click on the amplifiers link. Good luck.

I've looked around their site and like the prices, too. I haven't ordered from there yet but I might. (That's why I was looking at the thread that I posted earlier.) I saw that they are in my UPS zone so UPS Ground from them equals next afternoon delivery in my case. No sales tax because I'm not...

Read through this thread. http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21294 Ike Sound is mentioned a few times, both good and not so good.. I think the only real complaint most had was that they thought the customer service to be rude. Good read.

Yes. The power will be "cleaner" than that out of the head unit. Realistically, the physical size of the head unit is just not large enough to produce large amounts of power and keep it clean. If your old speakers sound better than your new speakers, the new speakers might be starved for power...

Those speakers are rated at 100 watts RMS (continuous) and 300 watts maximum. Your head unit is rated at 45 watts x 4 channels maximum but probably puts out only about 18-22 RMS, maximum sustained, and that would be at top volume. The head unit will probably distort in the upper 1/4 or so of the...

Go here: http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm and scroll down the menu on the right-hand side to #65 - "Cooling Fans" - and click on that. There is tons of good info on that site and the cooling fans link will give you some options and explain how they work and why. The easiest...

If you buy it from Crutchfield, I believe that U.S. Acoustics will extend the warranty to three years. (You might want to check that with Crutchfield to be sure.)

http://www.audioinmotion.com/generic50.html I saw this link on a TV install in headrest and thought it to be pretty good. Check it out and I hope that it's helpful. Good luck.

In my '94 Explorer, 100 sq. ft. of FatMat ( $100 plus shipping at http://www.fatmat.com ) got me: One layer over the headliner Two layers on the floor of the cargo area One layer on the floor boards Two layers on the rear hatch One layer on each of the four doors One layer above the...

outbacksport, Just out of curiosity, did you use the 16-gauge speaker wire with the USX-4065 and, if so, how was the sound quality? My brother-in-law used this amp in his Expeditiion and rather than running new 12-gauge speaker wire, he just spliced into the factory speaker wires (looked like...

Electrical supply houses carry a non-conductive wire lubricant for tight pulls in conduit that works great for getting wires through grommets, too. One of the manufacturers is Ideal. I don't know if regular hardware stores or home centers (Home Depot, Lowe's) would carry this or not but...

So, how did those 505cs components work out for you? Are you happy with them? How about posting a review on them.
