You don't want your subs where the rear seats are anyway. Sticking them in the middle of the car is just asking for cancellation. There is MORE than enough room in the back of a camaro for 2.5 cubes. I built a box for a thirdgen, which is a similar overall shape for a pair of 12" Rockford...

I knew somebody would mention the Daewoo thing. I have no idea what goes on in China, but there's so much crap over there that somebody's probably making fake Volfenhag and Kenford stuff. I was trying to stick with the domestic scene, which I guess doesn't make all that much sense considering...

Focal fakes exist because focal is a relatively "high end" brand with high end price tags, so when a person has an opportunity to buy it at a small fraction of the cost, they'll jump at it. However, infinity is certainly not a "high end" product, but more like on the low or middle end of "mid...

Yes, your legs and especially your passenger's legs can and will block some of the sound. But, even when it's being blocked, it images and stages better than sticking them into the doors. For me, it's a worthwhile tradeoff, especially considering that when I have a passenger, I'm not exactly...

I believe that way back, the original Armor All could cause stuff to dry out if you stopped using it. I don't believe that the formula that they've had for the last 15 or 20 years causes this anymore

I'm running a refurbed Phoenix T400.4 in my girlfriend's camry. It's been happily running bridged into a 2 ohm load for over a year now.

People this cheap have no right building their own stuff.

You can only expect so much from a 4x6" plate. They really don't have a remarkable sound quality, but when you compare them to other 4x6 options, you'll find that they are about as good as it gets. I doubt you'll find much of an improvement with the new head unit. When played full range, it...

Would you be willing to do a follow-up in a couple months after the suede has sat in the sun for a long time? I've been wanting to do some suede in my car but I've been told that the UV rating on the cheap suede is very poor and within a very short period of time it will fade badly, but $100+...

Do you guys care to elaborate on what it is about your REs that you don't like? I don't like mine either, but I want to find out if my impressions are consistent with what others hear.

I'm not all that surprised. Those kickers need a massive sealed box to get a smooth frequency response. Any time you stuff one into a prefab box that's got way too little airspace, you get a high Q 1-note wonder that will shake your fillings loose with the right music, but sounds like *** and...

The install looks nice. I like the amp rack especially.

Flushed. Behind plexi. Even if you don't take it to this extreme, if you put the amp under plexi, you can still neaten it up by using 1/4" MDF or thin ABS panel to give it a flush appearance.
