    Coaxial Speakers + Separate Tweeters?

    With a tweeter in the door and on the dash it will be a very bright sound and could be harsh. Components are the better choice for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is there an audible difference between MP3 and CD quatitly? find out for yourself!

    There is definitely a difference. Some people can hear it others can't as much. What a lot of people don't realize is the music that you listen to makes a difference as well. Some stuff is recorded and mixed badly. Its recorded for ****** speakers and to be played on the radio. That's the stuff...

    Best AMP for two Alpine SWR-10D4 Type r 10s

    Never pay attention to MAX power ratings on amps. They don't mean anything. The RMS is the number you want. The type R 10s are rated at 500 watts RMS per sub so to power them properly you would want a 1,000 watt RMS amp. The pioneer GM-D9601 is amazing and will put out 1200 watts at 1 ohm...

    AMERICAN BASS AMPS? no one talks about them so what up with them?

    A lot of that stuff in that category comes out of the same factory over in china. That's why so much of the stuff looks identical. Buy enough of them and you too can have your name on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    More nightmares

    Here are a few more problems from customers doing installs. First pic is a bass knob mounted on the sub box. Next pics are from a customer that blew the illumination fuse in his truck and tried to wire up the bulb from his shifter to the radio power. Put so much of a load on it it didn't just...

    Undo soldered wires

    Just cut off the pieces of wire with solder on them and then make your new connections. If you do crimp use crimp caps or butt connectors and make sure to do a proper crimp. Solder is the best possible connection but crimp connections are acceptable on a radio harness. The biggest issue with...

    USB Issue playing music in my vehicle

    Are you using the factory radio in your truck? What kind of phone are you using? Sounds like the phone isn't compatible with the stereo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
