So last summer I bought a 87 Mustang 5L Coupe (trunk not hatch) I getting around to putting a system in now and due to space or lack there of I'm kind of limited to 8" subs. I'm debating 2 sundown xv.4's or 4 FL8's. I would rather do the later but I only have 37" of width to work with and by the...

Its not just the sub and the amp The box is just as important plus the wires too Your HU only has 2 volt pre outs so if you want to get the most out of your amp your going to need a line driver at the very least IT would defiantly benefit you if you could build the box yourself I guess its...

I also was a fan of RF back in the day, before DEI bought the whole industry and turned it to crap However I have not like much from them since the 90's DD is the way to go

Look at the specs of the deck rather then the deck itself. If your planning on running amps after then look at something with 4 volt pre outs not 2 volt It makes a huge difference

Those are problems I would like to have. Palm trees don't grow in the freezing cold I'd go 4x4ing over a mountain of them daily if it meant it was warm enough here for them to grow.

Last owner did you right with the power and ground Thanks for leaving a little room to wiggle with Don't try and un solder the wire from the board and put new ones in There was a Rodek that ended up in the garbage because of it, and years of therapy afterwards. No built in x-over so make sure...

You loose sound quality with the fm modulators Retro looking deck with modern features is a better idea. Would have to know more info to give a better answer, like why your doing it , looks, security, so on

I would at least open it up and see if something is wrong with the remote or power and ground terminals. I had a 4 channel DD amp. I cant remember which one it was now but it had the rails inside rather than wire to run the power and ground. The ground rail solder points had come loose and it...

So I’m taking the stereo out of my Daily driver and am going to just do a sytrm in my Mustang. It’s a 2015 Infiniti Q50 When I put the pods in my front doors I was running active so I cut 0the clips for 2 of the 3 speakers that were in the door. Now I can’t find the clips anywhere and they want...

I don't do Facebook If I wanted to enter a popularity contest I'd go back to High School

Small import engines don't have alts that are big enough to handle the draw. I had a 95 civic si (bought it brand new) I put a optima yellow top in it, back then its one of the best you could get I was running a RF punch 200 and a 4 channel alpine and my car looked like Stu's disco inferno...

That HU does not have the RCA's on a dongle at the back They actually plug right in to the back old school style What are the chances that the plugs are pushing up against something back there Right angle adapter will help if you have space issues I always hated using things like that When it...

You made that kerf look easy Anyone whos has attempted one knows its far from easy Yours is perfect though Last one I did I messed up twice before I was happy with it That woods not cheap to be screwing it up Well done

So I bought a new toy 87 Fox body notch back I want to put a stereo in but it doesn't have to be much TBH I don't know how much I'm even going to be able to hear it over the engine/exhaust I have a CAB 22 which I want to use to run 2 8's (SSA FL8'S) which will fit perfectly under the back deck...

So you want to run a ZV5 15 which I'm taking is a dual 2 So you need 2000 watts rms to run it You want to do it for under $1000 CAB 22 https://caraudiobargain.com/audio-apex-cab-22-car-amplifier-monoblock-2200-watts-rms/ Admittingly it does not leave you a lot of head room but for $320 its a...
