I ordered Fat Mat extreme. Much cheaper than Dynamat, and close to being exactly the same product, IMHO. The hair dryer is a must ! The tar heats up and the material becomes much more flexable. What I learned applying Fat Mat to an Astro Van - 1. The back of a screwdriver is needed for...

I bought an Hifonics Son of Apolo amp that came with that exact sticker. I called the manufacture, in my home state, Illinois, and asked about it. They manufacture overseas to reduce costs, but all design is done in the US. They do it to save money. If you need to send an amp back to the...

I ran an A/D/S 6 channel amp at two ohms powering 2 subs, 4 mids and 4 tweeters for the entire life of my 93 T-bird. I sold the car in 2000. I used it hard for 7 years. I NEVER had a problem, and the sound was just clean, clear, and solid. I bought the amp as a display unit at a Columbia Audio...

I own a 2000 Chevy Astro. Before you look into buying insert rings for your speakers, see if they fit directly. Almost all 6 1/2" speakers are a direct fit for GM 6 3/4" openings. I purchased Alpine, and JBL speakers, all 6 1/2" in size, and they are a direct fit using the speakers solo, no...

I'm interested in picking up a set of Alpine Type "R" tweeters to go along with my Alpine SPR-176A 6 1/2" component set. I'd like to run 4 tweeters upfront for a more open soundstage. Does anyone know if Alpine sells these tweeters as serperate components? Upfront, I'll be using two channels...

I've heard these speakers. There good for imaging, they play loud and clear. For the money, there a good deal. Using a decent HU to power them would be fine. Silk tweets can sound smoother, but for rap music, titanium is the way to go. For the best sound, be sure to keep all base frequencys...

I will be mounting Alpine Type R 6 1/2" componets into a Chevy Astro Van. The tweeter will be placed 11 inches above the woofer. Amped by a Hifonics Son of Olympus w/75 watts per speaker. With the 11" seperation between the woofer and the tweeter, which setting on the external crossover...

I just bought Alpine SPR-176A 6 1/2" Type R Components. I'll be placing them into a 2000 Chevy Astro. Is any one familliar with the door configuration on Astro's/ Safari's ? The tweeter is placed towards the front center of the doors while the woofer is towards the front bottom of the doors...

  I'm looking for the best delivered price on a new Alpine CDA-9815 head unit.   I've found that GOPCPLUS.com has been the lowest I've found at $360.04 delivered.   Does anyone have a better source for a lower price. Discount Jungle has a great price, but they **** on S & H.  ...
