I forgot to mention... I have a huge box of damplifier pro sitting here as well. So sound deadening will be taken care of

I have accumulates most all the parts of my new stereo. The only thing that is left is the speakers. I am looking for a 6.5in component set. I have a 400-450 budget. They will be getting alot of clean power and will be in stock locations. The car is a 2008 scion tc. I have the following...

You guys think a third yt will do it? An alt is out of the budget anytime soon... I have been collecting all the other components for some time... I can get yt bats at cost through a buddy so even a third bat is very doable in the forseeable future... From mecman a alt starts at $500... One...

I am getting ready to put 2 jl audio 1000/1's in with each one powering a fi BL 12 I am running a 300/2 to my door woofers, and a 450/4 to my mid and tweets. This is all going into a 08 civic. I replaced the big three with 1/0 and put a optima yellow under the hood and in the trunk. Will...

gains set with dmm, 50hz for the concept, 1khz for the jl to recomended voltages for my impeadence... i have a very expensive volt meter that will tell you when any clipping occurs as well, so i know my hu starts clipping at 33 of 35 on the volume scale so that was where i set my gains from...

I am getting ready to purchase the brain to my system. I was going to get a Kenwood X993 but while looking the touch screens caught my eye. Specifically the pioneer AUH-P3200BT. I was wondering if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with them. I have about $350 to spend, is there...

I am getting ready to install my ID CTX65CS component speakers and had one question. When mounting the crossovers, does it matter where you mount them or how close they are to eachother. I was going to make a rack for them out of mdf and place them in the center console of my car up by the...

I am building two sealed boxes for 1 re se10 each. I was getting ready to order stuff from parts express but was unclear on what size and how many bolts were needed to mount the subs. Does anyone know what size and how many i need. Also, should i use t-nuts or one of the other options they...

Ok, i am putting in a system that is going to be geared toward SQ. The top end will be a JL Audio 450/4 and ID CTX65CS's. This stuff is allready purchased. For the sub amp i have a Concept 1200D. It is crappy but its what i have. I am planning on upgradeing later on but it will have to work...

I have a 2008 civic. I am planning on running a 1200watt class d for the subs and a jl audio 450/4 for speakers. I was also planning on a 1/0 big 3. Will my stock electrical system be able to handle this? What should i look into upgrading? I wont be pounding really hard very often as this is...

mobile video, car audio, car speakers, car amplifiers, car cd players, car dvd players, Alpine add it to the cart and it is $215

My research has led my to belive that the tens would sound the best with my style of music, i listen to mostly rock/metal sort of stuff. My reason for three was leaving room for a upgrade later on. The concept amp is pretty crappy but i have it and it will do for now... Someday i was hopeing...

I am getting ready to purchase the components for my system. Are there any changes anyone would advise in my price range? The system is going into a 2008 civic I allready have amps from a previous system, they will be (all are in rms): JL Audio 450/4 150x2 @ 1.5-4 ohms 75x2 @ 1.5-4ohms...

I had one more thought, two of the se10d4's would take up less space and still handle my amps power... This would save space and money. How would the output compare to the three sub option. It would be slightly more total power consumed due to running at 1 ohm rather than 1.33, meaning each...
