    Ideas for removeable grilles?

    I'm installing a pair of TC-2000's into the trunk of a daily driver. For day-to-day use I'd like to have a grille to protect the aluminum cones, but it would be great if I could figure out a way to quickly and cleanly remove them for when I want to show it off. For those who aren't aware, these...

    Is there any difference running 4 or 2 ohms?

    Technically speaking, you'll have less distortion at 4 ohms than 2 but I'd wager that the average person wouldn't hear the difference.

    Hifonics speaker review

    Yeah, I understand about having a clean signal. I don't claim to know much about clipping other than basically what it is and that it's bad, but I'm not sure I'd recognize it. I only crank the system hard when I'm playing a CD, or MP3/Sirius plugged in, unfortunately through a tape adapter for...

    Hifonics speaker review

    Tiger, I'll freely admit to being a noob in car audio. I've been spending a lot of time researching lately, but pretty much just how to set up subs properly. How can an install affect how much power speakers can take? I know with subs you can usually safely overpower drivers to some extent in a...

    Hifonics speaker review

    Actually I've seen the Phoenix Gold RSd 65cs at about the same price, about $70, on ebay and a few storefronts you can find on Google. I doubt I'd be disappointed in either set, especially for the money. The Hifonics have the distinct advantage of being rated for higher RMS (100 vs 50-60), so...

    Hifonics speaker review

    Shorty, I really appreciate your review. I've been looking at this comp set and it's a bugger trying to find out much about it. I am kinda curious how the midbass would come out if you tweaked the tweeters down another 3dB. I just wonder if that would balance things out a little better and bring...
