    How to find the depth of my vehicle?

    Hey, does anyone know where I can find the true depth of the front door factory locations on my vehicle? I currently have some alpines in there...and I would like to put JL XR525csi comps in there, but I'm not sure if they are too big. They have a mounting depth of 2.375", and I don't want to...

    Decision of my Life….

    definately. x2 look into ported though. 2.5^3@30hz = creamy goodness.

    Storing the Car for the winter.

    replace the radiator fluid in the radiator with water. just kidding! DON'T DO THAT! Do the opposite...make sure you have a good mix/all radiator fluid. The water will expand in your engine and ruin your block. NOT GOOD.

    thinking about selling system..

    If you're happy with what you have, forget the 8's. If anything, try a Brahma...or, like someone else suggested, upgrade to the 18'' XXX.

    not a problem but rather a ?

    The grounding wire is supposed to be the same size as the power wire. I do not know the reason, but it does make sense. Who put 8awg as the ground and 4awg as the power?

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    It's possible that he had a bad ported enclosure right? Sealed enclosures do sound nice, but I'm sure a low tuned ported enclosure can get louder and sound better, if done correctly. I want SQL.

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    The amp puts out 1200watts RMS at 1 ohm. It's the JBL bp1200.1 amp if that helps.

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    Thank you for the advice. Does 2.5 cubes sound good to port? Also, 30hz a good tuning frequency? Any ideas on proper wiring configuration with a jbl 1200.1 and a 13w7?

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    So, I think I'm going ported... 2.5^3@30hz Does that sound good? I'm going for SQL... Also, what is the most efficient/safe way of wiring the JL 13w7 to my JBL bp1200.1 amp without blowing anything and getting the most power? I would really APPRECIATE help on wiring it properly! THANKS

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    Hey all...This has probably been answered/debated many times before, but the search function is not cooperating with me today Anyway, I'm getting into stereos again (I was a year ago, until my truck died on me, and I got rid of it) and I'm looking for a couple basic answers. I have an...

    Is this the right way to wire up my WHOLE stereo?

    I gotcha. It's actually in a pickup truck...so the wire isn't really that long...I'm thinking about 8-10 feet long at most. I'll get a fuse that combines both the amp fuses ratings for the ANL fuse near the battery, and then I'll get two more fuses for the distro block that meet the...

    Is this the right way to wire up my WHOLE stereo?

    Wow, thank you so much. That was really helpful. I figured that I'd do it the "two wire" way and then re-wire it in the future, but I guess I'll just do it right and change it all up now. I'll use the 4awg on my brother's or girlfriends car...so it's not a complete waste. The auction you...

    Is this the right way to wire up my WHOLE stereo?

    I'll definately post pictures! TONS of pictures when all is said and done, and the process of installing it... Well, the problem I have is that there is already a 4awg power wire ran through the car. Should I just replace the 4awg wire that I have ran throughout the car with 1/0awg and use a...

    Is this the right way to wire up my WHOLE stereo?

    Hmmm, I am pretty sure I got it. But, just so you can SEE what I see in my head...here are two pictures. Picture one is a picture of what is CURRENTLY setup. It has 4awg wiring throughout the truck, and only one amp hooked up, which is the subwoofer amp. To add another amp, I simply use...
