Yeah it's the new 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The stock system, even though it was the premium one sucked. Couldn't even hardle hear it with the windows down at 65mph. The magnets on the door 6x9"s were smaller then the 3.5" magnets in the dash and rear pillars, about the size of a quarter in...

Just finished my first box, used one of Moe Lester's plans for a 2 cube tuned @ 35hz. I'm using a 12" Memphis Power Reference sub with 270 watts of power from my amp. I think everything turned out pretty good considering it was my first system I did on my own. Total I got about $600 bucks in it...

U.S. Amps I/S 4085. 85x4 rms, can get it shipped for around $150 at http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/4386. I'm using it to power my door 6x9"s and a 12" sub, does great.

I'm looking for a ruff idea of what to expect db wise from my first sub. I haven't got it yet, had to send it back because I was a noob and got dual voice coil where I needed single voice coil to be able to run it at 4 ohms. So with a Memphis Power Reference 12" with around 270w rms going to it...

I was looking at the box plans sticky but couldn't find a plan that fix my exact needs, even though they all look great. So my question is how much does it matter to match up the box specs to the manufactures specs for a given sub? If the manufacure says 2.0 cubes and tuned to 40hz would I...

I'm not sure how much you're looking to spend but for a decent 4-channel amp that does it's rated rms and then some look at the USAmps I/S 4085, http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/4386. I'm using it to power my door 6x9"s and a Memphis 12" sub. It's hard to beat for quality and price I'd...

Currently I'm running Alpine Type R 6x9"s 2-way speakers in my front doors with around 85w rms on them from my amp. I'm wondering would I notice much of a difference in going from them to a good 6.5" speaker or not really? I'm in the process of getting my sub so they're not really going to be...

Update! I took it by Circuit City this afternoon on the way home from work and had one of the guys there look at my install. Guy said everything looked good, said he never seen a line output converter like the one I had. He got one off the shelf and hooked it up and now I'm back in business...

I'm not 100% sure on the line output converter wiring, I was only working with the two 6x9 speakers in the doors. This is all new to me, car stereo stuff that is. I got the wiring info online and was going by that. It's going in a new 2007 Toyota FJ Crusier. I called Circuit City and they said...

As far as settings the gains go I did adjust the gains on the line output converter and on the amp, not at the same time though cause the line output converter is at the front and the amp is at the back. What kind of sign does the speaker popping on mean? This is my first install of any kind...

I got the converter from Crutchfield, it's this one http://www.crutchfield.com/S-YeHADztQ8k7/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=721&tab=detailed_info&i=142SLC4#Tab.

Hey guys, I need some help and opinions on this setup I got. I’m using a 4-channel amp and a stock head unit. I bought a line output converter to hook into the head unit to run my door speakers and a sub I’ll have as soon as I get it. I got the amp hooked up right as far as I know, I’m getting...

Anyone know? Going to be putting this in today and would like to know before I start.

Hey guys, got a line output converter question. I have this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-YeHADztQ8k7/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=line+output+converter&i=142SLC4 line output converter, as you can see it is for a 4 channel amp which I have. I'm only going to be using the amp to power 2 door...

Thanks for everything so far. Lets say I wanted to just keep the same amp and bridge it to a single channel at a 4ohm load. Would a single 4ohm voice coil sub work for what I'm trying to do? Something like this is what I'm talking about. Also just to make sure that the sub will work this time...
