No one knows the color coding? I just want it done right instead of guessing like I am. Thanks.

I'm thinking that anything with red is probably positive. Anyone find this to be usually true? I tried the one I hooked up both ways and they sounded the same. I left it hooked with the positive on the orange/red and it sounded fine going to work and back. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! I'm wiring up a new system in my 2002 Ford Escape and I can't find a thing on the web about the wiring diagram. All I really need is the front and rear speakers. I'm going to use a harness for the radio but I'm replacing the factory 6x8's with some Infinity 6x8's and the first one stumped...

Decided on sealed. Around 3.5 cu ft. Friend of mine is building it for me. Gonna see how it sounds and if I don't like it will just build another. Will post pics when finished....

Thanks Trixter! Yeah I dug around some after I posted that and found out what the heck you meant by upgrading my big 3. (God I HATE being a newbie but this site is an awsome resource!

Thanks bloodhound 50! Yeah I noticed we have the same cap. Sounds like I'm gonna have the same fried alternator too! Should I really wait to put the cap in like Trixter said? The only reason I bought the thing was to take the strain off my battery and alt. Isn't that the main point of a cap...

Thanks Trixter! Any other opinions would be appreciated. I was thinking of a sealed box because I heard sound quality was better and that's what I'm looking for. But everyone I've talked to has said ported. I've already bought the capacitor and I've dropped a load of $ on everything else so I...

Hi. I've been out of car audio since the mid 90's and what I had back then was crap compared to what is available today. I finally couldn't take just looking anymore and saved up the $$$ and bought a system. What I have is detailed below. What I need is some advice on designing the best sub box...
