    Thanks. I will check the battery. I am not sure enough to know what kind of used amp to get. Thanks though.

    Boston GT50

    The old and new HU should have 4-volts outs. I also Had an Audiocontrol three.1 which had 14 volt outs. But the shop that installed it said that was too much. But it still does the same thing, so I have a $300 three.1 sitting there doing nothing. How do you get to the classifieds? Is the...

    Boston GT50

    I am not that savvy with all of the tech stuff. With my current amps I have the gains down and still do not need to have my volume more than half way. It puts out way more than enough power. If I were to crank up the volume all of the way up it gets distorted. I have read that having volume...

    Crutchfield has got this amp cheap http://www.crutchfield.com/p_065GT50/Boston-Acoustics-GT-50.html?tp=115&tab=review . Currently I have mtx-thunder564 4-channel amp (70 x 4) feeding 4 Boston Pro 6 components. I also have another MTX feeding one 10" sub. Both of these amps over heat when in...

    Okay, I looked at the specs for this. It only has 2v outs and that seems low. Also it is set up for 5th generation I-pods, I have the 80g classic, I need to check if that is the 4th or 5th?

    This one has been my first choice. However the major hold up is that it does not have a CD deck, it would cost a little more to add a CD changer. Also reading other reviews, I hear complaints about not having station buttons, you have to scroll through the knob to find the stations. Does this...

    This looks good for the price and I would be able to do the I-pod and HD tuner within my budget. Any opinions froms others about this vs Alpine or Eclipse?

    James Bang, I will be sticking with what I have for now until I get a new vehicle in a year or two. So for now I want good sound (for the price) and good i-pod controls. (and CD player or changer) Bonesninja, What is the difference between the 9886 and the 9887? I will look at into the 9835...

    That is the best price I have seen. But, I would consider my amps being just average and speakers maybe just above average. Would I be able to notice enough sound difference to justify the costs from the Eclipse 3200 or the 5100? I still would need to add the add I-pod piece. I just looked at...

    I am looking to replace an Alpine CDA 9807, it is getting old and I want I-pod controls. I have an Alpine 6-disc CD changer and it is making sounds (like an old LP records). I have two MTX amps feeding 4 Boston pro 6 speakers and 1 10” sub. I have always had Alpine’s but have put in an Eclipes...
