The speakers are 4 ohm impedance. Also, on the drive to work tonight I messed around with the volume, and it had more affect than I previously thought on the static/fuzz/noise in the tweeters.

That was with the car off, I just turned the key to the 'Accessory' position. I can hear it while using USB as a source and while playing a CD, I'll have to check auxiliary and tuner. Volume has a slight affect on it, and I'll check on the amp gain after I get home from work tonight. What I...

Well, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that I went full retard for a while -- my passenger side RCA had come slightly unplugged and that was what was causing the problem. Any who, now I notice quite a bit of fuzz or static coming from the tweeters... It's not so noticeable when there...

Well, if anything is broken at least it's an excuse to buy something new

Well, for these speakers you run speaker wire straight to terminals on the back of the woofer, and then the crossover actually attaches to the woofer and then to the tweeter. Tomorrow I'm going to switch up the speaker wire and put the passenger side to the left channel and see if it works.

So, as much background as possible: I've been working on a full car sound deadening project with materials from Sound Deadener Showdown. This has been going on for quite some time, so the car was not driven for quite some time. I also replaced all of the wiring except RCA's with KnuKonceptz...

I've read a lot of positive things about Stinger cables as well. I'd like to order most of my wiring at the same time so I can wire everything while I have my dash out, which I do now.

I previously had a Bazooka 1000w amp and two 12 inch MTX JackHammers in a box my dad and I made. The box was the best part of that setup... I sold that for $280 a little while back. I'm not in a rush right now to get this new setup finalized, but I know its something I'll want in the future...

Alright, I'll take a look at Dayton subs as well. I'm fine with upping my budget if it means getting something a bit better. I half-assed it on my original setup with two 12s and a sketchy amp, so I'd rather not do that again. Like I said, I learned the hard way that I should have spent more and...

That would be my budget for sub and amp, new or used is fine. If used I'd want something in very good shape. In terms of power, I don't have a set number. I was looking at the Image Dynamics IDQv4 recently, and that is rated at 500 RMS, so I'd say something in that range would be fine, but in...

Hi everybody, I came here a year or two ago asking for suggestions about my first system I put in my car. I've learned I should have done it better the first time, as I'm coming back to redo it, better this time. This is what I'm looking to do. I have a small car (2000 Toyota Celica GT-S), so...

Wooo Iowa! :P I was in Marshalltown a couple years ago.

Looks really nice! I have the same Boston Acoustics amp as the first build for my front speakers. Sounds really nice.

I'm in the middle of attempting this right now. I just (5 minutes ago) finished wet sanding the second coat of primer with 400 grit. Once it's dry enough Imma put the first layer of gloss black on. I'll post pics later and once I'm finished. Hoping for a sweet look. :P

I think I'm kind of stuck with the battery staying under the hood. :P Any recommendations for fuse holder locations under the hood?
