no one mentioned if an under seat powered sub would help. I saw one Kicker made and Alpine and JLA have some nice passive, ported ones, but the latter i doubt would fit under my seat. i'm sure the Kicker would though. Could also be my memphis speakers, they were only like $99 some 2 years ago...

right, i did all that. i never put no foam around my speaker though.

nice. though i wonder why RF made Hu's for such a short period of time. i remember seeing them in audio shops. never looked at them really. again, this is just a hypothetical subject. Or think of it this way, if you were a car maker, what brand of system would you use for your premier option. i...

I do have a gap between the inside door panel and the speaker. i never thought that the door panel would cause any difference since the door is sealed from the front of the speaker and door panel. its not a huge gap...but i'll look into that thanks. Its a 05 Honda Civic. i used a 3/4 spacer...

explain this please. if you mean filter, i was thinking of using a passive. and would the kick panel not decrease the mid bass response of the component woofer? if it does then i was wondering if having that second driver in the door is worth it. my second thought was to just get an under seat...

As title says, i also wanted to know if i used a kick panel for my components, could i put in a 6.5" mid bass driver in my door as well paralleled wired to my components so i could not only get more mid bass up front, but also get a 2 ohm load from the amp? If that is doable, what spec should i...

why don't more companies make HU's? i would think too competitive but then again the amps and speaker competition out there is insane with literally countless brands and odd ones popping up all the time. Maybe they don't sell as well? but i don't see a correlation as to why its imperative that...

i actually want to hear a car that has the Bose system in it. just to listen to it even though their home theater stuff is overpriced junk. My wif'es car has an infinity premium system in it. its actually not too bad considering it doesn't have any kind of sub. I wish more cars would had better...

i didn't realize eclipse was still around.

No one gave reasons? it was hypo question....IF you had or wanted to do a single brand build. choose one and why did you choose it? I think i would go with JVC. Their Arsenal line i have never heard, but they seem like decent high end even though their components seem pricey to me but then...

If you were choosing Reciever, components and 5 channel amp (or 2ch and sub, whatever) for a straight forward install, but from only 1 brand. what brand would you choose and why? Obviously this limits quite a bit since not many make HU's but am more curious as to the reason than the brand...

here ya go. $109.00 https://www.soundoffaudio.com/item.cfm/id/2147

For that range, i would probably take a look at some oldschool amps. That way you can find top notch brands and quality for very low prices. likely used but as long as it works.

that's that i have. i just got the one cause its all i need. i can honestly say a few things here. First i've been around car audio since the early 90's, i've heard many subs and many amps..etc. I don't know a lot about audio science and i'm not an audiophile nut...i just know what i like and i...

i had that problem with my old RF 600.1 BD. Also, the radio was impossible to listen to. But i found some Class d amps don't do that. i purchased an MTX Elite class d amp cause they advertised no interference and did great for both radio and other amps. I now got an XD 600/1 amp and no...
