    Rear speakers unnecessary

    oh' yea I knew that about the NIN album. That is a terrible example for what is actually being applied. You may have caught me using a deceiving best buy tactic to sway someone into buying something they don't need. Although, in all seriousness; I have decided that having a four speaker setup...

    Rear speakers unnecessary

    that was the same exact question I just asked in another thread. I plan on buying image dynamics ctx65cs components in the front and that's it. I eventually want to get a 10 inch jl audio sub but that is later down the road. The real question here is, are speakers like that or something...

    Diamond Audio S500s RMS Power Rating

    Well I decided that I am going to go with the Image Dynamics CTX65CS Component speakers. Now, I was told that I should only get a 2 channel amplifier and only get one pair of component speakers for the front. It was suggested that I do not even put in rear components even though I have a four...

    Diamond Audio S500s RMS Power Rating

    I was going to get a 10 inch JL Audio Sub in the future. Now I am more confused than ever. This post now has turned into, do I want Diamond Audio components?? Can anyone suggest better 6.5 or 5 1/4 inch component system that is better for less than $190.00?

    Diamond Audio S500s RMS Power Rating

    ?? I was planning on buying from online car stereo. I think they are the older versions? I don't exactly know where to get them other than that. Also I was trying to keep the cash down on everything but it looks like that is not going to happen! I was looking at the Diamond Audio D6 700.4 amp...

    Diamond Audio S500s RMS Power Rating

    I was going to buy 2 pairs of the Diamond Audio S500s for my 97 Ford Contour. I play on getting the Pioneer Deh-p4000ub deck. I was wondering what the rms power for the speakers were? I'm new to car audio, but I read in one of the posts that it is best to amplify component systems and not run...

    Older Head Unit Help

    I already answered my question about the recommended HU, however I think that the front USB input is no good. I want a really clean look and wanted to run the wires out the back, under the center console and make a custom dock for it. I don't want to have a wire hanging out my front. That...

    Older Head Unit Help

    oh' and out of curiosity, how would that system stack up as far as quality goes. I'm not looking to get into competitions or anything like that, but I was just wondering if in the car audio world people would laugh and say something like, why did you shop at Toys R Us for your car audio stuff? I...

    Older Head Unit Help

    I'm looking to spend about 150.00 on the HU, and I was planning on buying the rest later. I wanted to run the wires for the sub and speakers and do the sound insulation before I actually bought anything. I will be doing the install myself. I don't want to spend anymore than 600.00 on the rest.

My main concern is all of the wires that are on the wiring harness. I will be wiring this to a 94 buick park avenue. My question is, is there a place that...

    Class of New Head Units

    I was looking for a head unit for my mom. She needs nothing fancy, but I want something reliable. I was really partial to Alpine a couple years back because I read everywhere they were one of the best head units all around. People compared them to the BMW of cars. Anyhow, I was wondering how...
