I did read up that the 80PRS is pretty much the top in terms of SQ but the one thing it is lacking is HD radio. Which is kind of a silly feature to rule it out for, but I am unsure if the pioneer hd radio adapter works with it and I do often find myself still listening over the air sometimes.

Right now I am looking at the Alpine HD137BT for the head unit (I've always liked Alpine H/U's) but have never delved that deep into xover settings.

So after some deliberation on speakers, I am biting the bullet and getting Image Dynamics CTX 6.5cs for the front and ID CTX 5 coax for the rear. I am at a complete loss as to choosing a decent amp to power them though... The only suggestion I have received so far is the Precision Power PPI...

Any other amp rec's? And info on deadener and sealing the doors?

That looks pretty good. Is it pretty much standard that the larger brand name amps are no better than their counterparts but just cost more? Also, I have never deadened any car before but I do know that this one gets quite a bit of road noise and sometimes can get some vibration even with the...

Hey All, So I haven't been around for some time (after switching cars I hadn't had the time to do anything to it for a while) but I am finally sick of the stock system in my car and am ready to do something about it. I am looking to replace the H/U, front components, and rear coax, and add an...

My significant other owns a Subaru Forester with a double DIN head unit that has a 6 cd changer built into the face. I don't know the exact year but I believe it is around '05 and it is one of the earlier models of the Forester that has the much "boxier" design. The stereo must have been the...

howdy all. i recently swapped out my stock '02 WRX head unit for an Alpine 9883 receiver. I want to replace the front and rear speakers but dont have much cash. Anything is better than these stock speakers. If you can recommend anything on the cheap side (ie 100 or under per pair) I would...

Ok. I have been a member for a while but haven't visited since i bought my first system and got assistance from those on this forum. Sadly, my car was totaled and the head unit went along with the car but i got my sub in box with the amp and its still wired and i just cut the cords connected...

The sticky has no information on wiring a sub with 8 ohm dual voice coils (it only shows dual 4 ohm voice coils)

Hey all, I just recieved all of the components I need for my first system and am very confused on how to wire everything. I have my HU and speakers set up but i need to wire my new amp (Profile CA800) and my sub (Adire Audio Tempest dual 8 ohm vc's) the amp says its bridgable to 4 ohms for...

I am getting an adire tempest, profile CA800 (600W peak bridged), and its running off an alpine 9811 HU that is powering 2 sets of Boston NX 6.5's. Just wondering if I should get a new battery to power it all or if I'll be fine running it off the stock. It's a subaru outback 97. Any help...

I just ordered an adire tempest, a profile CA800 amp, and a klaus audio box 2.5 cubes sealed. I was wondering if i made good choices and where i should go to get wire (what kind of wires will i need). I have never had/wired a sub before and any advice is appreciated. -Pyro

Would this be a fine box for it? http://www.audioperfect.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=39&products_id=421

So i have decided to purchase an Adire Tempest (15") and I wanted to know what amp i should use and where to find a good box for it. I want to keep it as cheap as i can if possible. Thanks in advance. -Pyro
