    DEH-P8600MP for $300 CND. Good deal? Can I do better?

    Am I just an idiot when it comes to searching ebay? For the life of me i can't find one 880, 8800, 780, 7800 on ebay. I've looked for several days. What are you searching for?

    Half of stereo stolen, got $1000 to complete it - help!

    Any suggestions on a one amp solution? I had a 5 channel amp before but I'm thinking at this point I just need the amp to power the fronts and 1 10" sub. If I got the kappa 10" perfect (love it before) what would be a good amp to power this and my front speakers? I'm thinking of the pioneer...

    Half of stereo stolen, got $1000 to complete it - help!

    Why does everyone always assume I don't have an alarm? And why do people keep bringing this point up instead of the question I asked.

    Half of stereo stolen, got $1000 to complete it - help!

    Thanks for the advice guys but I think I should explain a few more things. First, the car has an alarm. It doesn't do much good in LA where no one pays any attention to alarms. I'm in a "secure" garage but apparently it gets hit pretty often. Also, the $1000 is including labor and this is all...

    Half of stereo stolen, got $1000 to complete it - help!

    4" speakers and a sub, do I need more?

    How does that work as far as wiring and powering it go? The 1" and 4" speakers take up 2 channels and the 6.5" midwoofer takes up 2 channels?

    4" speakers and a sub, do I need more?

    I guess what I'm asking is if it could be a setup problem or is it a case where I need to have 6.5" or 6x9's to get a total range of sound?

    4" speakers and a sub, do I need more?

    I have 4" Boston Acoustics Components up front and 4" coax in the rear powered by an alpine 5 channel amp. I recently put in a 10" sub and new head unit because I was definately missing bass. The new definately helped with the very lows but I'm still missing quite a bit of sound depth, I...

    Dc/Dc converter? What now?

    drx-9255 If I can use it then my only other problem is connecting the harness to my new stereo, which has a different plug. Can I just pick up some sort of adaptor at a stereo shop?

    Dc/Dc converter? What now?

    Today I'm upgrading my car stereo head unit and sub. When I took out the old aftermarket clarion I noticed inside the stereo bay in the back was a box that said clarion dc/dc converter. What is this for? Do I need to leave it hooked up in my car when I put in my pioneer premier deh-860?

    Noob questions - installing sub into box

    thanks for the advice. Looking at it by just dropping the speaker in it's already a very tight fit, which is good. The eclipse speaker also came with some thin foam insulation that should make sure it seals completely. I'll just try predrilling it and see how that works.

    Noob questions - installing sub into box

    OK so I have my stealth box and my 10" speaker. But I'm at a loss of what I should do now. I have 8 1 1/4" drywall screws and I was told to pre-drill the holes first. 1. Does that mean I use a drill and drill the holes and then hand screw the screws in? What size bit should I be using to...

    DVC sub on a 4ohm amp???

    I have a Alpine MRV-353 5 channel amp, 4 ohms. the 5th channel is the sub channel and only runs 110 rms. I ordered an infinity kappa perfect 10.1 to hook up but just found out they sent me the 10.1d, which is dual voice coil. Can I use this or do I need to send it back? Is it possible to run...

    Oz Audio Vector SQ 10" sub?

    Does anyone know anything about this sub? It sounds like it fits my needs exactly - which is low RMS (i only have 110) and it's 4 ohm.

    You only have 100 w RMS - what do you buy?

    Specifically it's a Alpine F-353 5 channel amp. The sub channel is only 110w rms as checked by a amp repair shop. 4 ohms. If it makes any difference i'm running Boston Acoustics components up front 1" and 4" and Boston Acoustics 4" coaxs in the rear. Don't ask why it's 4" all around, I...
