    Looking for a new head unit

    I did end up going with the Kenwood DDX814 and I mostly love it. The only issue I've noted really is that it takes forever (like two mins) to boot up for use. The touch UI in it is a little wonky too. But operates just great once going. Thank you for the tips everyone!

    Signal Processor/Amp/Head Unit configuration & tuning

    Hey everyone, I have a question concerning the best solution to the configuration of my signal processor, amp, and head unit as far as gains, crossover, and tuning. For a little background I'm a single father of three and I just didn't have the time to install all the equipment I have so I had...

    Looking for a new head unit

    Yea the old saying "they don't make them like they used to" completely applies here. I have this monster below powering just the single JL 10w7. I won a bunch of money at the casino here and used it to buy this baby brand new. It's completely overpowered, but I honestly don't have the trunk...

    Looking for a new head unit

    Looks great, but the selling point here looks to be the fact that it has a built in amp. I wouldn't be utilizing it at all. Pepperidge Farm remembers when they used to sell head units without any direct speaker outs and only preamp outputs which is pretty much what I'm looking for.

    Looking for a new head unit

    Yea man that sounds great, looks like it was discontinued though. I'm really leaning toward an Alpine I loved my old one to death. I was also looking at the CDE-125BT. Maybe I can find a pre-enjoyed one, i don't care as long as it works and is in relatively good condition. I like that it has...

    Looking for a new head unit

    I don't really need a lot of the tuning capabilities because the JL 300/4 does all that for me and has separate crossovers with tweeters for each channel. That's why I might part with Rockford Symmetry, because really it's just overkill. I just want the separated preamp outs for front/rear/sub...

    Looking for a new head unit

    The usb/bluetooth ability is a hard requirement. I DJ in my spare time and like to get a listen to the tunes I have on the USB drive while I'm driving. But I appreciate you answering ;)

    Looking for a new head unit

    Hello, I'm more of a lurker and haven't posted on here forever. The day finally came where my head unit (Apline CDA-9851) is having issues with motor. A CD was stuck inside and the lady tried to shove another one in there, not knowing that there was a problem. I think it's time to go with...

    Factory door speaker upgrade

    If the old tweeters are still wired they will still work. The only issue to look out for when purchasing something with a 3-way coaxial is that if it's positioned near your feet on the floor the sound imaging likely will not be very optimal. I'm in the market myself because the lady is so...

    Which is a better pick, JL or RF for a $2000 rig?

    Steer clear of JL Audio.  I'm in a battle with them right now because I've seized a 10w7v3 twice now in a 2.5 month period.  They covered it for free the first time under their 90 day warranty and were supposed to also provide another 90 day with the rebuild.  Now they are claiming that the...
