it is recommended to keep the stock. There's no decrease in performance for keeping the original wiring, it can only help to add more wiring. I'm glad I kept my stock because one of my big 3 runs actually ended up getting disconnected and if I had not had the stock wiring there then I would have...

I need two 1" thick spacers in order to install my HSK165's into my '98 subaru legacy front doors (6.5"). I don't have the tools/skills needed to make them. Where can I buy them, or can someone here make them for me? I don't want to buy cheap spacers and ruin my sound, I want to do things right

I think that I like the Alpine PDX 4.150 the most so far, and all the reviews I've read said that even though it's class D it doesn't have 'dirty' power... and it's small and runs cool so I can easily put it under my passenger seat

Unrelated noob question, but what gauge speaker wire should I use? 16 gauge?

Need an amp/amps to power HSK165's (125W RMS) up front and Illusion Audio LM-6's (100W RMS) in back. budget is 300-400

I looked at the front and I thought I could probably add a spacer, but I'm pretty lazy. And the backs look like there's about a quarter inch space between the door panel and the speakers I have now (shitty sony ones my brother gave me because he realized they ****) Would it sound bad to put...

Sorry, I know there's probably a million threads about this, but my car is a bit retarded so my case is a bit special. So I have a '98 subaru outback, 6.5" mount, and it can only handle about 2" deep speakers (I think that's about right, if someone could give me an exact number that would be...

it won't cause any trouble if I run speaker wire alongside rca cable, right?

Okay, so I'm gonna get new door speakers and an amp for them. My question is how do I run the speaker wire to the door speakers? Would it sound terrible if I ran speaker wire to the back of my HU and hook them up with the stock speaker wiring, then attach the crossover to the stock wire in the...

What if I bought a separate pair of tweeters (for example these http://www.midwestelectronics.com/blaupunkt-vc100-p-97.html) and hooked them up instead of the ones the speakers came with. That would work right? Would it sound noticeably better?

How do the Alpine SPR-17LS speakers perform in terms of purely SQ? I'm gonna inherit them but they are too deep for my car so I'll have to go through the trouble of getting/making baffles. If they have good SQ then I'll just make/buy the baffles, but if they don't sound good then I might as well...

alright, so my brother bought some Alpine SPR-17LS component speakers, but they are too deep for his subaru impreza. So he's willing to give them to me, but they don't fit in my '98 subaru outback either. Should I just make like a spacer ring type thing and get longer screws so that the speaker...

help please?

My stock alternator is rated for 85 amps. My question is if I have 2 amplifiers, one with an 80amp fuse and the other with 2x30 amp fuses, will I destroy my alt if I listen to my music at high volumes or will it just run down the battery even while I'm driving/idling? Unrelated question, will...
