Hey all, thanks for the replies! It's been a minute since I've had a system in a vehicle so my understanding of troubleshooting these things was a bit rusty. Haunz, thank you for steering me in the right direction! plugged my phone into each amp and then right into the crossover on my lunch...

Just finished an install in my 2016 sorento (my very first complete install by myself!) and everything powers on but im getting some white noise through the coax speakers and if I barely turn the volume up, they distort heavily. The system: 0 ga going to a dist block, two 4 ga runs out, one to...

got my new RCAs in today. first i plugged em in without doing the grounding trick. still the same insane noise as with the other RCAs. did the grounding trick and tried it again. ZERO noise! woohoo! maybe my other RCAs werent shot but oh well, ive got better ones in there now.

About a year ago, I bought a pioneer h/u and decided to not ground the RCAs, and until a few days ago, everything was fine. somehow, i got some power surge or something that fried my RCA cables. when it first happened, there was no sound so I figured some wire came loose. i get out and check...

if 200 for a FB is waaaay cheap i might as well look into it? really wish i could do it myself. right now ive got space to work but im lacking some tools and lots of know how. theres just still so much i dont know. i was reading a long thread earlier about some guy saying his sub wasnt putting...

went to a local store and asked how much for a custom ported box for 2 12s and they tell me $250-$275!! i dont live in a big city and this isnt some crazy fancy shop either, just some local joint, so i dont know how they would come up with a figure that high. they then tell me i could could a...

well **** ive only had my pioneer for a few months now. think its the 4000ub but its pissing me off because it seems to have lots of trouble playing through minor scratches on my CDs. my last pioneer was AWESOME at this but i left it in my old car. how good are alpine h/u's with minor scratched...

listen to em side by side with the EQ flat. compare the voltage of the preouts on each. i think that pioneer is 4v. ive got i think its the PEH-4000BU or something, cant find the receipt right now, but the sq is great and i likes all the features. but im a firm believer in CDs and this one has a...

i got a lower end pioneer around christmas 2002 and i loved it! sadly i left it along with my components in my car after it got totalled july last year. about 2 months ago i got another pioneer, i think its the 4000BU or something, and it has a hard time playing cds with even the littlest...

rage against the machine-rengades of funk. weird, no other songs on that cd with such a prominent bass line. mushroomhead-1200. SICK bass drop in the breakdown. avenged sevenfold-almost easy (the chorus only). tell me where the **** that bass comes from. it makes no sense to put it only in one...

so you like ported boxes for listening to rock and metal? i really should go ported...

so how much room do you have between the end of the box and the hatch? and do you even have rear speakers in the mounts? i dont like how once you put a box back there it totally gets in the way of the spks. ive considered putting mine in the rear psgr doors but i dont know. im about to move back...

wow thats insane, i want to be able to do this! i really like the work man!

ALMOST always frightened...? haha anyways, yeah i wish it was that easy to hear both setups without having 2 boxes and 4 subs in ya car. ive had my 12"s in a sealed for a few years and ive always kinda been unhappy how they sounded. some rock cd's they're fine and others its not very good. but...

i like it man. its cool to do something different, even if it the carpet is PINK. whatever floats your boat!
