It's like a TP meeting over here... Just an observation. TP is a bit more straight-forward with people I honestly think know what they are talking about. I visit here for entertainment, and I am not talking about the Lounge... lol.

I can bring a RE 15" XXX dual 2 ohm if someone wants to buy it. Asking for $350 at the show. It's in a sealed box, which I will give you, as the crate is thrown out. It has played for ~10 hours. Mint condition. No bad scratches, marks, or any damage. I am going in another direction with more...

A lot of engineers in this forum. I am an ME out of school for a couple too many years now. I know enough about this stuff to where I would install all of it and juice it up. Probably blow something up, but then I get to fix it. (Not really, but since the engineering stereotypes are flying, I...

I am trying to make it for this show. I will be there regardless of my truck making it or not. I'll have my Rollin shirt on.

The output of the alternator will be lower at lower rpm's. You will have a little dimming and dipping of the voltmeter in the dash if you are hammering the volume. Be careful not to let it dip too low, 10 volts is not good for anything. In other words, turn it down at stoplights and other stops...

In my opinion, this is not safe. You need to isolate the amp power circuit from your cars. If you juice your car with 15-17 volts, bulbs will start to blow, ECM don't like it, fuses, relays, etc. are all at risk. Harrison Labs makes an isolating charger for your sound system power. It hooks up...

Find another routing. Do not "flatten" the wire to fit in some hole you already have. Seal the old hole, and find another way to get it to work. Damaging the wire at a bulkhead is generally not a good idea because of possibilities of shorting out. To fit my runs of 0/1, I drilled holes in my...

I got power and an internet connection last night. These things are starting to get a little ridiculous! Nothing like listening to a 15" XXX with no power in the house though... huh, Chinny...

There are some fundamental concepts at play here. I am not trying to insult you, but really go to your local stereo shop and have them set everything for you. Ask if you can watch and learn from the process and then go from there. Some of this stuff is not as easy as "read it on the internet...

If you want fade and balance, you are going to have to look for an EQ that has line level inputs as well. Audio Control has some products that will do whatever it is you want to do with this set-up. I assume you are trying to multiply your RCA count to have more amps and more speakers. With a...

Also, if you haven't already, go see http://www.s10forum.com for a lot of model specific questions you may have...

I meant consistent through the entire product line, not through time. Probably good to keep within the parameters of current product as well. It's just a personal choice thing.

I was thinking if there were any consistently good product lines. I myself have a medley of different brands to the point of every component being from a different manufacturer. My first thought would be to include receivers, but that wouldn't be fair to most of the manufacturers. (I would say...

I am working on mine right now. I have a single 15" XXX and a Harrison Labs 1600x1 for it. I am doing a 2 cube sealed box. I will update once it is actually working... Lots of these trucks get loud. You are only limited by the money you want to spend. I saw a walled off ext. cab s-10 with 2...

I would like them to be around $200 or less if at all possible. How much are all these that you guys named? Ballpark? This is really getting me going for the weekend...
