Thanks for your feedback! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but wouldn't it be kind of pointless to only apply a processor to 1/3 of your system? I figured that even without the active crossover feature of a DSP, just the time delay feature itself for all of my speakers (fronts, rears, sub)...

Not a chance! I don't even let people play them in my car hahaha!

Pioneer AVH 5500 BHS I believe is the headunit designation. JL10w7ae-3 subwoofer and JL HD 600/4 and 1200/1 amps. I find that there's a lot of shrill frequencies that I would like more control over. I've played around with tweeter position and tried adjusting the pins on the crossovers for the...

Thanks for your input! Actually, the only DSP I know about is the JL Audio Twk-88. I only know about JL stuff because my friend used to work for them and he helps me out. Perhaps you might be knowledgeable on recommending some cheaper alternatives? I also have one more question: will a DSP give...

Hello, I've got some decent speakers in my car, but I feel like my head-unit isn't giving me the level of control I want. My question is, will an inexpensive DSP sound better than the passive crossovers of expensive speakers? I have JL Audio ZR650-csi components in the front and C5-650x...

Got a suggestion for tools to reform metal grills into a non flat, non circular shape? I was thinking a hammer and chissel type dealio, but I'm not sure that's going to look clean hahaha! Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help!

One thing I am a little uncertain about is that the door panel isn't flat in the speaker area. I'm not sure exactly how to fabricate something with a dynamic depth around the entire circumference of the speaker.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you SO much for doing all that work for me! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to do that. I'm going to be looking into this overnight tonight! Thanks again.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum -- I am a real noob, admittedly. I rather unfortunately had to dremmel away this factory grill cover for the midwoofers I put into my doors because of a clearance issue. I am looking for DIY solutions (expensive OR inexpensive) on how to make it look nice...

Definitely check out the video I linked as well as the part after it. The part before could be helpful too. Let me know what you think!

So after some more research today, I was able to find this guy who upgraded some of the wiring in a 2012 Sonata: Watching part 5 and 6 of that video, and also asking him in the comments for clarification (since I admittedly don't have a CLUE what I am doing), as far as I can tell, he ended up...

Will do man. I talked to a local shop today and they said their guy will email me tomorrow. I'm gonna call more local shops after I hear what he has to say. You should do the same! As far as I can tell (and don't take my word as truth because I really don't know) I think the negative battery...

Thank you for this. This is incredibly useful information to have. I may open a new thread specifically regarding adding an additional ground wire to the battery when the factory wire has and ECM installed to see what the potential risks/solutions might be. I wonder if this is more of just a...

Kind of my thoughts as well too, thanks!

I read your statement from KIA as a "do not REPLACE the original ground wire". So in other words, the big 3 upgrade should be totally fine because you're just adding wire instead of replacing it? If you don't mind, could you double check your message from KIA and let me know exactly what it...
