    Problem with grounding and wiring. Ideas?

    Thanks for the advice. I didn't think about adding more batteries, but that makes sense. The only problem I run into now is where we will be getting the power. The only car we have with a trailer hookup is an expedition - which isn't wired for an additional stereo (its his mom's car actually, he...

    Problem with grounding and wiring. Ideas?

    We are building a mobile Video/Audio trailer to attach to the back of our cars for tailgating at football games this year. We boxed it in with 2x2s and plywood, and are carpeting the inside and painting the outside. We plan on having two outward facing 20 inch TVs (with a window that opens up so...

    where to get replacement OEM changer mag

    I have the stock 6 CD changer that came with my 95 Eclipse's premium system that I don't use. I will be giving it to a friend, but it has no cartridge that you use to load the CDs. Does anybody know where I could find one of these to buy? It should still work fine with a loader.

    no sound to speakers? Problem?

    I'm going to be helping a friend hook up a couple of 12s in his Dodge Neon this weekend, but first we have a little problem. There is no sound to ANY of the speakers, all of which are wired to an after market JVC head unit...we bought a new head unit, but it did the same thing, so we returned...

    Few questions I need cleared up (if you have time)

    I've got enough experience with car audio to know what I'm talking about, so generally my friends began to ask for help/service to install their car audio equipment. I'm runing a 15" Fosgate sub in my car with a 300 watt (x1) Profile amp, works good, its enough power for my small eclipse. But...

    best way to mount my box in my hatch?

    I've got a '95 eclipse GST with a 15" Fosgate sub in the back hatch. It takes up a good portion of the space but it still moves around and I really need to get it mounted somehow. Whats the best way to keep the box from moving around from turns and just general vibrations? I searched but came up...

    Questions about live sound (PA)

    I've been running a couple of old JVC and Pioneer 3 way speakers in my basement with my 8 year old sony surround sound reciever. These speakers were each running a 12 inch woofer along with midrange and highs. Well, the girls were over last night and they just had to crank the sound...and I...

    Distortion from speakers...reason?

    I've got two new (2 weeks old) Rockford Fosgate 6X9s in my eclipse wired to a Dual 60W X 2 RMS Amp (340 watt 'peak'). The speakers handle 75 RMS a piece so this shouldn't be an issue for them. I also recently installed (within days of the speakers) A Rockford 15" Sub with 300 watt RMS Profile...

    Alpine and Apple iPod

    I don't see how that is any better then my Aiwa unit and my iPod. As long as you have an aux in you can just plug in the iPod with a mini cable and use it in the car....nothing special. Thats what I do with my iPod.

    Speaker problem

    do not use your gain as a volume, the gain is meant to set the voltage of the RCA inputs, not to turn up the volume. Fine out the voltage of your RCA outputs, set the gain to that, then use the volume on your head unit.

    rattling or speakers?

    Ok I've got Two rockford fosgate 3 way 6X9s in my Eclipse powered by a Dual 60W X 2 @ 4 ohms Amp (the speakers say they handle up to 75 watts RMS.) The amp is probably only putting out like 50 or 55 at 12 volts anyway. I've also got a Rockford Fosgate 4 ohm 15" Sub powered by a Concept 150watt...

    Question about factory HU

    Well the factory premium head unit in my 95 Eclipse did NOT have RCA outputs, however, since I did have a small stock amp, it did have a Din cable running to the amp which can be converted to RCA BUT, I dont know what voltage this DIN signal is getting, and if it is high level or low level. I...
