The tiny speakers came with the connectors in a standard size. The mids did not and the male ends on these units are not industry standard. My digital calipers are measuring 3.8mm and 5.5mm. Not standard. I have a bucket full of both imperial and metric connectors and none of them fit the...

received a package of much equipment today. was sent the wrong amp so that is slightly annoying. I will say with the NVX speakers I am slightly disappointed that they did not come with any female terminal connectors. I am okay with no speaker wire but the connectors would have been nice seeing...

yeah, the separates will go up front

There is a method to the madness. I had the Jeep torn down and have been putting it back together. It sparked the idea of stereo system install while the interior was gutted and figured it would be easier to put a stereo in now as opposed to after the interior went back together. Now I am giving...

yeah it's just a known thing that people who end up putting a winch and lights and aftermarket kit on these Jeeps run into issues. It's not a problem until you are driving in the winter with the heater blower on high, windshield wipers going, at night with standard bulbs in. For the most part...

I can likely save a bit on the enclosure. Savard gives free plans if you buy direct from them and I am already going to be bedlining the Jeep so should have enough extra for the box. I may even be able to get some fancy router work in there though I haven't worked a lot with MDF so who knows. I...

I understand the basics but will need some guidance in areas many of you may consider elementary. Be gentle. I am designing for a 1998 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) which means two things. My alternator sucks and I have virtually unlimited space for an enclosure. The goal is to relive my 90's era bass...

Been building a '98 Jeep XJ and have decided I want a little thump. Nothing major, just enough to annoy the neighbors. Finding things have changed from my youthful days of slapping together the biggest box you could fit in your trunk, dropping in whatever 12" woofers you could afford, hacking it...
