My dad said that if I buy high performance spark plugs and wires and ect for my truck, that it will just cause static in my audio. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this or not?

Im going to attempt fiberglassing 2 boxes for under my seats, and have them "molded" to my floorboard. Someone correct me if I'm going to do something wrong. First off I have to tape off the area that I'm going to glass. Use a heck of a lot of tape, and then put aluminum foil over that...

Thats been the most effective that I've seen as far as being loud... but facing them forward into the seats is probably the best for SQ

What about cooling the speakers/box? I know subs can get hot, so what if I put like a few exhaust fans in the box... would it help or anything?

I really doubt there would be speaker wiring all ready done. It is possible though, because chances are there is a wiring harness. I'm actually pretty sure that it would have a wiring harness. Running speaker wire is easy, but doing all you power and junk would be a pain. I guess only way to...

Ok.. well define inexpensive. The cheapest ones I've seen that were really good were like $500+ I can get a sheet of MDF for $10. The stuff to glass it for maybe $50 at the most. The rest of the lumber or anything else I'll need would probably come to $40-50 also.. because I'd have to get...

Just from personal experiance in my GMC.... having my subs firing into the back of my seats pretty much dampened and lowered the SPL extremely. I'd say fire them up. Or if you're taking your seats out or whatever... aim them towards the back wall. I've seen an s10 go from firing up, to...

I'm thinking that I'll just get a sheet of like 1/2 inch MDF or something, and fiberglass OVER it. Just get a huge piece of cotton fleece and pull it over the entire piece of wood. I've read a lot of stuff on fiberglassing lately.. and I probably have NO idea what I'm really getting in to, but...

This isn't really concerning audio... other than that I need the bed cover for it. But anyway... I want to make my own bed cover. I had originally planned to go with just a big piece of MDF and treat it with some sealant and paint it or something. But now I'm thinking that.. since I've been...

I dont know about nail polish either... but I know you can get some regular hobby paint. Mix it half and half with some hydrogen-peroxide and it will go on really thin.. but it wont burn up. Or atleast it didnt for me. Make sure its acrylic paint though. Crutchfield carries a very nice...

^^^^ Ttt ^^^^

Agreed. If there is like a hiss coming through your speakers.. thats bad too. I had my remote wired to my fuse box and stuff before.. and every time I turned on my lights or something else that uses the cars electricity.. my subs would pop. I believe (but not completely sure) that if you put...

I've been looking at the Cerwin-Vega 84 sub. Its only $60 at thezeb.com I need a pretty good 8" sub with a very shallow mounting depth. I'm going strictly SQ, and dont really want to spend any more than $75 on a sub. Can anyone help me out? Links to the VEGA...

Agreed :-D

Check their site. http://www.adireaudio.com They have recommended box sizes per sub there. Just work around that. Best I can really tell you. I believe Shivas are more of a SQ sub anyway... so just build you a nice sealed box with plenty of space and it will sound great.. and still get...
