    A little sub help

    Truck is a dodge dakota club cab. I want to keep the thunderform box. I was hoping to go with better subs but I'm not quite sure what to get. I don't want to have to remove anything in the back. Budget say $800.

    A little sub help

    I have in my truck A thunderform box that fits under the back seat. It has 2-10" MTX Thunderform 4500 subs powered by the built in amplifier that I believe is only 200 watts. Does anyone have any recommendations for me as to what my next step would be for louder, harder hitting base? should I...

    System tuning

    My system consists of a Kenwood KVT 516 HU, a Kenwood 750 watt amp that is pushing 4-6.5 Polk speakers and 2 Polk dome tweeters. My sub setup is 2-10 inch kickers in a thunderform box that has a built in amp pushing 250 watts. The sub amp has only a gain control and the crossover control. The...

    Read if experiencing poor speaker sound after a new HU install.

    I was for many weeks fighting poor speaker sound in both my front doors and rear panels. I was experiencing sub par performance in speakers that should just rock but instead I got low sound, no depth, some popping and can ackling at higher volumes. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what...

    Accessory pop, but not your standard problem!

    I have had the same problems that you are talking about. I actually just last night got it all taken care of. Does your car have a factory amp installed somewhere and are you using a wiring harness in the dash that simplifies your setup? if you do have a factory amp still in there somewhere and...

    When in the AUX source i can only hear the bass from subs but nothing from door speak

    I had the same exact problem a few weeks ago when I replaced my HU. Do exactly what you were thinking splicing those wires together and it will work. I had to connect the blue amp wire, the blue deck wire and the Blue wire off the harness together for it to work.

    Dodge speaker information

    Hello: I have a 99 Dodge Dakota that has or had the Infinity system with eight speakers. My question is this, does this model pickup come with an amp somewhere? I have put in a new system and used a wiring harness to connect my HU, and also to utilize the already there speaker connections. I...

    Speaker pop

    So I think I made a little progress but still not sure where to go next. When I put my system together I bought the wiring harness for the deck so that I could utilize my already there speaker wires. Just out of curiosity I took one of my old speakers and connected it to the rear channel of the...

    Speaker pop

    Thanks for all the help. I ordered good quality rca's, shorter in length. Will try it see if that works. My ground for the amp running my four doors speakers is under the passenger seat, the ground is 6 inches from the amp. I cleaned up a spot on the floor board. Is this a good enough area for...

    I did go through the entire setup double checking making sure polarity was right all around but I will check it again.. Never had the problem until I put the amp in.

    Speaker pop

    I went to play around with the fader controls a bit. When I go to the front left and right the speakers sound equal. When I switch to the rear the passenger side sounds the same as the front but when I go to the drivers side in the rear the speaker is only a fraction as loud as the others and...

    Speaker pop

    The HU is a Kenwood KVT-516, I never had the problem before installing the amp. I have checked and rechecked my wiring from front to back, I found that my rca from my sub was pinched pretty badly, not sure if this running into the HU could cause a problem or not? I just ordered new Monster rca...
