Are there any head units with nice glass touch screens? We've been spoiled with nice touch screens on our phones nowadays, but it seems head units are stuck 10 years in the past with their poor touch screens. The only one I know of is the Pioneer AppRadio 4 (SPH-DA120). Perhaps there is...

Doing big 3 soon... Going with knu cable. Am I better of going with 4ga OFC or 1/0ga CCA? The 1/0ga OFC is just too rich for my blood and is not worth it considering the modest system I have.

The doors in my Volvo are pretty similar to these doors, in the sense that there is no way to access the inside of the outer metal panel (I hope that makes sense) through holes in the inner metal panel. My doors actually have no holes in the them to even be able to see the outer metal panel...

Just got everything installed and set the gains. I'm running each tweeter and woofer on it's own channel. And the verdict is that the Memphis sounds way better than my old Polk. There is no audible hiss at low volumes like there was with the Polk PA660, and everything just sounds more open...

Just picked up the Memphis. Decided to go with it because I got a good deal on it ($360 down to $200 out the door). I will post a review after I get it hooked up on Saturday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking at both of these amps. They are both 4x50 and both are for sale for $200. My Polk PA660 went bad on me, so I'm looking to replace it with one of these. Can anyone tell me a yay or nay for either one? Thanks for a quick reply! I'm on a trip right now and I'll be passing the car...

Lmao... noticed this too

Nice dude! I love to see it when people don't cheap out on their boxes. Cheaping out on the box is one of the my biggest pet peeves, and I just feel bad for people who are too stubborn to invest in a good enclosure.

So Im'm going to dive in and replace my OEM plastic speaker bracket and closed cell foam contraption with an MDF baffle pretty soon. I just have a couple questions. Is it important for door speakers to have some air space behind them? Right now there is really only room for the magnet of the...

@BlackHawk41042; I'd take a look at what @mylows10; can get you as far as the sub and an amp. Then talk to @double07; as far as getting a custom built enclosure. They really aren't as expensive to get built and shipped to you as you might think.

Ahh, I see what you're saying. So I'll have that shop cut out the metal (leaving the top in) and then I'll probably just have them install some mdf some baffles in there for cheap too. It will allow some flexibility in speaker choice that way, as well as provide an air tight seal. Should I have...

What do you mean when you say, "Once you put the doorskin, that entire space is still acting as an enclosure"? Also, I'm not trying to get subbass from my door speakers. I'm just saying that even when I run them with a HPF at 50hz, they don't put out much of any midbass still (or...

I feel like my biggest issue is airspace though. Am I wrong?

I feel like you can't really go wrong with any of those. Just pick one with a decent price. You'll probably get the most votes for the DD and Fi and the least for the RE.

So I have a feeling my doors are severely limiting the midbass output from my front door woofers. Even with the HPF set to 50hz, I have very little midbass. My mom's stock system (no factory amp or anything) in her Toyota Avalon puts out way more bass than I can with a set of $300 6.5" Focals...
