I am talking about the normal front and rear stock speakers you get in a 15.000-20.000$ car (no brand). Thanks!

I bought an Hifonics BRX1100.1D amplifier, a Sundown SA-12 subwoofer and a Pioneer DEH-X7500S headunit (with a Stinger voltmeter and an iPod Touch) a few months ago. Everything always run pretty decently and I am happy with my setup. However, today, my headunit started to turn off suddenly. In...

The headunit you mentioned is a great option because it is a 2012 model and less expensive than 2013 ones. I have an equivalent 2013 model from Pioneer and I love it. I think the only difference between yours and mine is that yours is HD Radio ready, which I think is not necessary for you. The...

Wow thanks a lot, that's was the kind of answer I was looking for! Do you have an amp recommendation for that price range? Thanks!

Also, if I have an amp, I have to all redo my wiring (which will cost, again, too much)?

So what should I do under 200$? Get an amp and a pair of speakers (which ones) or get two pair of speakers (100$ each like I said)?

@cfox10 I don't want to buy an amplifier because I am already really borderline on my voltage with my subwoofer amplifier (I only did Big 3) and from what I have heard (amplified speakers), I think it is not really worth it for the price that you pay (only makes your speakers louder with only A...

- Car: Toyota Matrix XR 2004 - Speakers: stock 6.5" - Headunit: Pioneer DEH-X7500S - Subwoofer: Sundown SA-12 - Amplifier: Hifonics BRX1100.1D - Other: I don't have an amplifier for my speakers and I will not get one. I want a set of speakers (or components if it is really worth it over...

I did not try to touch directly the terminal but I touched the steel bolt on the brass aftermarket battery terminal (to hold my ring terminal) and it was melting (the bolt).

So if it is normal why is it melting?

LOL did I say I had capacitors? I did not actually...

Each time I disconnect my battery, I do it the right way: negative first and then positive. However, when I reconnect the battery, I cannot reconnect the positive first and then the negative (right way) because it is doing sparks (small ones) and it is melting the terminal each time (even when I...

But I mean how can it cause a short (for example if a bare wire get loose) inside the box where there is nothing else to contact?? Logically, the subwoofer will just stop working... That is the part I don't understand why it can be in some sort "dangerous". Thanks for someone who can explain me...

I have a Sundown SA-12 D2 wired in parallel (@1 ohm) and I figured out I did it wrong. In other words, for the jumper cables, I used KnuKonceptz Karma SS 12 gauge (because this is what I got) but two wires (from the first voicecoil and to the amplifier) at the same time were not fitting in the...

Nope I did not. I cannot fit it with the amp behind that way. I would have to put the amp on the enclosure and from what I've seen, it is not recommended. So I just kept my setup like it was. By the way, how do I know if it is close to bottom out or not? Thanks!
