Bump

No 10" huh? i was reading that a 10" would better blend in with the front stage. The 900/5 would powef a 10 or 12 w6 plenty, but would just barely power the 10w7 and wont power the 1000/1.

Thanks.... I'm aware of this. But I know JL, I've used JL, and I'm comfortable with JL. It's, like you said, quality... Any other advice in regards to my questions? I am willing to veer from JL on everything but the sub and amp.

HI, It's been a while since I've been here. Screen name is not right- I now own a Hummer H2- which is what this install thread will be about. The entire reason I am doing this install is because the H2 OEM NAV sucks. While I'm at it, why not add some sound upgrades as well.... right? Can...

As you can see from the above pic, I need to do a little dremel work to get the plastic piece to fit right, it's still ugly though.....really ruins the beauty of the yellow top, but I was in a pinch and didn't have time to hunt down and order all the perfect battery connectors. They are speacial...

Well, got it done. Man, all the 1/0 gauge is a pain to work with. I used all coper connectors and solder, nothing but rock solid conections. I did the fulll big 3 and added an optima yellow top. Voltage is more stable and lights barely dim. Well worth it, but under the hood is very ugly at the...

If I update to the newest map disc that the n-3 uses.... does anyone know if it will disable the mod I made on my N-2 to input addresses while I drive? Just like if you updated your map disc from the avic n-1 to the n-2 disc, it disabled all the n-1s that were modified.

Thanks!

anyone? Keep the cap of loose it? I'm on my way to the shop right now to do the job.

Jl reccomends 1 1000/1 for each sub. That would pound pretty good. If your looking for other amps, aim for at least 2-300 good quality amps over what the w7s are rated. as for comps, there are so many choices and so many people who could give you better opinons..... so I won't waste my time...

Would getting rid of the cap, yet adding another yellow top in the back help....or would it be just like adding a huge cap?

So you think I should get rid of the cap with the upgrades I'm doing? And....yes, VW has a fuse block on top of the battery. The +alt wire goes into the fuse block, through a 150 amp bus bar, and out to the battery. Alt wire is 4 gauge and so is the wire on the other side of the bus bar that...

I have a 2004.5 vw gli and I thoght I had it bad. #1, I can't find a high current alternator, #2, I have to take the bumper off to change the headlights ( I've changed the headlights 3 times now due to personal preference and just getting board with what I have), BUT, nothing compared to what...

I have a 2004.5 VW GLI with 1300 watts of amplifier power running off a stock alternator. (120 AMPS) yesterday, my alternator to battery+ wire completley melted the fuse link, and alternator wire at the battery end. As you know, the fuse link is a complete box on top of the battery. My...

If that were the case, wouldn't a fuse have blown somplace?
