    How do you clean your display?

    A microfiber used gently dampened with either water, sunglass lens cleaner, or both.  Also, keep your hands clean.  Steering wheel too!

    Grilles hindering notes

    Hello.  2 CVX 10"s sealed in a regular cab truck.  I initially got the grilled because I thought by leaning the seat all the way back to the enclosures would damage the woofer during high excursion.  Well, it seems after watching them that the cone never really protrudes past the...

    Discussion on round SoloBaric vs. new CompQ

    I just want to ask if anyone has anything to say in reference to the original Solo-Baric compared to the new (round) CompQ subwoofers.

    Does (or can) it make the bass more mellow?

    Vented poles

    I was looking at Kicker's 2017 subwoofer lineup and it seems their only subwoofer with a vented pole piece (a hole out the center backside of the magnet) is on their lowest priced Competition woofer with the dual white stitched surrounds. Some, or all the other woofer have perimeter venting...

    All about fusing!

    I am interested in fusing sound properly. There are a few concerns I have about fusing. First, even if they do pop- do they still allow excess power or dirty electricity to harm your equipment. Second, what materials are they made of? Plated steel, aluminum, ....silver? And how do these...

    Newer Kickers

    What are your opinions and experiences with Kicker's line-up from recent times? The Kx, Cx, Dx, the new Q-series. I was comparing the KX to the CX (both 1200s) and they carry the ampere rating, but the KX wants 1 gauge while the CX uses 4 gauge. I am trying to understand. Is silicon valley...

    The price of a watt

    Back before the turn of the century, a dollar got you a high quality, strong, good sounding watt. What can you get nowadays?

    6x9 subwoofers

    Do you want free-air or sealed? The old Kicker comp free-air 6x9s look so cool, but I don't remember ever having heard them.

    Downgrading sub in regular cab

    Hey all, this may be lengthy but I am kind of particular about what sound I like and the audio shop doesnt open until Monday and even then I am hesitant about wearing out my welcome. This post could all be worthless because maybe my equipment needs to break in OR they will not deal with my used...

    Using bigger ground wire?

    I was wondering if an amp calls for 4 gauge power wire and you use, say, 2 gauge wire to ground it- would it sound more substantial? So, to be clear. This amp would get four gauge from the battery for power and get two gauge from the chassis for ground.

    Us amps vl-400

    I think you would have to wire it to 1ohm mono to get that big last number. ...but then the car would probably fall apart!

    Us amps vl-400

    Cleaning the amplifier may help it sell. You should be able to use paper towels, microfiber cloths, water, car soap, wd-40, armor all, etc and q-tips to get the amp clean! Love those amps btw. I bought a US-200 (red) back in 1998 and just gave it back to the place I bought it from last year...

    Subwoofers overpowering highs

    Im not just talking about the door speakers surviving, I mean how are they playing "music" will being shook to death from 8 15"s in a tunnel with 10,000 watts? But I kind of found the answer when I read how a speaker can reproduce a cymbal clash and a vocal at the same time. Even though I do...
