    New full system install. Which wiring method is better?

    I plan on listening to mostly dance/house and dubstep, with the odd alt-rock song. I'll be using the Alpine sound processor as the LOC (Originally I was gonna use a $30 scoche LOC but knew it would be the weak link in my setup.) So tap the Alpine H660 to the headunit and it will provide the...

    New full system install. Which wiring method is better?

    I'm planning on leaving the rears as stock speakers just for rear fill. Would the really need to be amplified, and more so for a fear of blowing them

    New full system install. Which wiring method is better?

    Hey guys, I've done a few sub installs in the past using a $10 LOC to get signal from HU to amp. This time I'm going balls to the wall and doing a full out sound system in my car. I've got a 2010 4 door VW GTI and I've got pretty much everything needed to do the install. The Parts are as...

    Need 6.5" speaker recomendations for a 2010 GTI

    I'm liking the JL Audio C5's I'm gonna see if I can find a dealer locally who has them so I can listen to them. The tweeters are 3/4" and I know the one's in the car now are 1" is there an adapter for those. I know there are a ton of spacers and brackets for the speakers, but haven't encountered...

    Need 6.5" speaker recomendations for a 2010 GTI

    Exactly, it was $250 for the 400, and $400 for the 600. And I have an older 325w RF that I love and the quality has surpassed my expectations so I figure buy once more and do it right. 1000w for me for a sub is all I need. I'm looking mostly for good SQ and I listen mostly to house and...

    Need 6.5" speaker recomendations for a 2010 GTI

    So I just got two new amps: RF T1000-bdCP and the T600-4 to power my alpine swx-1043d sub. The original plan was to turn the gain right down on the T600 and run it to the fronts and rears, but I found out that I'll probably blow the stock speakers doing this. The original plan was to do that...

    New mono and 4 channel amp for an Alpine SWX-1043D and Stock HU, 2010 GTI

    Anyone have opinions on the difference between the Rockford Fosgate T400-4 vs the T600-4. I know for now the 400 will suffice, but I don't know if spending the extra cash now will mean I'd never have to spend it again in the future.

    eBay Purchases

    You've gotta remember on ebay auctions the seller is charged based off a percentage of what the item sells for. So some sellers who sell cheap items like a cord will list it at $10 with $40 shipping instead of $45 for the item and $5 shipping. This way instead of paying 10% (an example) $4.5...

    New mono and 4 channel amp for an Alpine SWX-1043D and Stock HU, 2010 GTI

    Yeah I currently have the LOC tapped behind the headunit to the rear R/L for the mono amp I've got now. Let me check out some reviews on that amp. I'm not keen on used, but will take your offer into consideration.

    New mono and 4 channel amp for an Alpine SWX-1043D and Stock HU, 2010 GTI

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and looking for opinions on new amps for my GTI. I've got a 2010 GTI with the RCD 510 (non Navi/MDI[ipod] headunit) and basic speakers (non dynaudio). I'm currently running an Alpine SWX 1043D (3000W, 1000W RMS, 4ohm + 4 ohm) sub but using an older Rockford...
