Thanks for the help.

My XV was a 2014 and you are right...the 2.slow is just a motor that shouldn't even exist let alone with an auto trans. I learned to live with it though. The cargo space was the killer, especially with two kids. We always had an SUV so we got spoiled by the huge cargo area. It's a long story but...

I'm running my E8 off a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime 1-Channel Class D Amplifier. Works and sounds great. Running mine at 2ohms. No electrical issues with my car, also a Subaru but it was a Crosstrek but now the system is being swapped into an Outback. BTW....your Subaru is much cooler than...

Crutchfield has it's pros though...free install kits with head units. Priced separately you may or may not save a few bucks but more often than not I find it costs the same or less through Crutchfield. That's HU's though. Amps and speakers/subs, yeah, get them somewhere else. They shipped free...

I pulled the box out of my hatch today to find that there's a hole in the surround. Not sure if it was ripped out or rubbed though from having stuff against the sub while playing. I was wondering if it could be repaired by me or would I have to send it in for repair, in which case it wouldn't be...

Will the nut and bolt method work ok on a lower power system...625w RMS?

I just got an SD-2 8" today and I want to build the box this weekend. I am going with a sealed enclosure. Specs say for sealed the airspace is .25ft^3. My question: is that the minimum space needed or the optimal space for this sub? If it's the minimal, will bigger = better? If so, how much more...

I'll add that I already have an old Clarion amp that pushes 30x2 rms from many years ago when I was into car audio. Not sure if that's worth even using or if I should get a new amp that's putting out more power. I'm selling a couple OEM parts off my new car so I'll have the $300...maybe up to...

Have the head unit covered...Kenwood DDX 470. I'm installing it tomorrow if the harness and dash kit arrive. Anyways...doors have 6.5 speakers and there's tweets in the dash. I plan to replace the front doors and probably disconnect the rear...at least for now. Not sure what to do with the...

I don't know what the wattage of my stock headunit was but I just replaced it with a new Kenwood HU that is rated at 22 watts RMS. While not a huge amount of power, the improvement was in fact huge. That's with the stock 6x9 speakers in my 2012 Dodge Ram.

I'm trying to understand this as well and design the front end of my system for my truck. Stock, I have 6x9's in the front doors and 3.5" in the dash. My plan was 6.5" in the door, tweets on the upper door or dash/pillar and that's it. To get midbass AND midrange, does that require two different...

I'm trying to figure out some design program but still having some issues, especially with the port. Could someone please help?

I want to build a box for an SA-10. It will be in place of my center console in my QuadCab Dodge Ram 1500. Right now, actual dimensions for the console are 20L x 15W x 8 T giving me about 1.3 ft^3 of space. Of course I can make the box whatever I need to accommodate the subs I've chosen. Only...

Yeah, that's what I was talking about...the line that you carry. Right now I'm working on designing my front end...mids/highs/amp. I have the headunit already, getting ready to install this week. After that, it'll be subs and amp. Pretty sure I'll be doing the SunDown 10's. Just need to decide...
