Going with 10s so I can fit them nice and neat in my Mustang's trunk. Planning on running them in a cheap sealed box till I can either save up for a made-to-spec box or make one myself when I get time and space to do so. Not tryna spend a whole ton so on the lower end of things I was thinking...

Need advice I have a Hyundai i10 hatch Currently running the stock Audio system which gives a decent sound quality however... I would like to change the current speakers and add an active subwoofer / underseat subwoofer in the car. Is it possible to connect the subwoofer in the trunk of the...

Hi all! First post. I've been doing a lot of research - forums, groups, manufacturer directly - I still do not have a good answer about how to move forward. Hang with me, I'm going to be as detailed as possible. I appreciate all insightful responses. My current setup: -2020 Lexus ES350 -72ah...

Well, yes and no. I would say that most of all of you car audio guys (I include myself) are interest in all aspects of audio, including home audio, home theatre, etc. I've done a lot of it over the years. Multi-amp 12 speaker car systems, home system with huge subs in cabinets, 250 lbs of amps...

Hi. Newb here. I've been building my own car audio systems for years so I know a little about the setup I'm looking for. It's just the vehicle that has me stumped. I have a 2004 lexus gx470 with the stock mark Livingston(or whatever) system in it. I'm looking to run an active front stage 2 way...

I will never buy a modern car. **** your turbo ****, they tried that in the 80s and it was a bad idea. **** your EPA regulations. **** your electric vehicles that I can't put a 2,000 watt stereo system in. **** your modern engines that stops and restarts every time you stop, I'd rather not...

Now coming out to the wholesale distributor, Sub sonic car audio new brand owned by selelectronics since 2000. Look for new subs ,amp, empty boxes and loaded boxes .

Anyone know who made these vx megalouds? I cant find anything on them online

Hello everyone.. I'll try to not be long winded but i do have a lot of questions 😇 I'm an older guy who still likes to jam tunes loud and feel my eyeballs rattle with some good bass lol. I have always been into systems and i have quite a lot of stuff laying around (pics below) first question...

Looking for some guidence on this. I havent had a system since I was a teenager and I have no idea of cost nor the products used now. Any recommendations are valued. Thanks Can’t figure out how to just post the pic. But the link should take you there...

The Focal RSE-165 are on sale and I really like how they sound for the price point. Unfortunately there isn't a matching coax for them. I've read the arguement about ditching the rears or not important. However, it's important for me that the rear passengers get equally good sound. All of my...

Hi all, I eventually plan to go all out on the goody good stuff when I can spend the big bucks on it but as of now it looks like I'll be piecing together a system as I can afford to do so. I would LIKE to just start with a 3 way setup but depending on how much I'll be able to do myself on labor...

Currently owned Stereo Integrity SQL, Adire Brahma, and RF power T1. I’m looking for another good sound quality subwoofer to play with and came across ID Max, are the ID Max similar to the the SI SQL? I’m also looking at the W7 but not sure if the price tag is worth it. Any other brand...

Hello. I own an 08 Camry, unfortunately. Yet it’s the only place I can hear my music. LOUD! It I’m still never satisfied. My main problem is probably my sub itself. It’s a single 12” pioneer in a box with a factory eq inset. But it should still sound kinda good, right?! I listen to rock. So I’m...

I bought this Custom Autosound Concours Series USA-230 radio a couple years ago ,installed it in my Corvette but never played with it to set things in . When I try to find local stations and nudge the station button to manually find a station so I can preset it the radio just starts seeking and...

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum but hopefully this is the right place for good advice. I just built a system in a 2022 Super Duty and after months of planning a “budget” system I have some regrets of my DSP choice. I went with the Alpine DSP PXE 60. It only has 6 output channels and now I...

Hello everyone! I have to part with my Alpine F#1 Status kit from my personal collection. The kit is brand new and has never been installed anywhere. The whole set is factory-made. The boxes have lost their new look a bit, due to time. I would never sell it, but the necessities of life force me...

I have a 06 grand Marquis. Looking at either Kenwood or Sony Apple play. Is it worth have a floating monitor? Pros and cons?

Hi. I just bought a Rockville RockGhost V2 powered 11" sub for my car. I have a 2015 Ford Focus ST (version with bigger display). Is there a good video on youtube (or somewhere else) of how to dismantle the front radio to connect the sub? All the videos i saw just somehow "skip" the step bi...

Had tested last week at the shop since it's been sitting in the closet for a few months. Works and sounds great. $225 shipped

I bought a 2009 Scion xB this week. It has a P.L.Z MP-901 touchscreen media player and backup camera installed. Unfortunately I hate it because: 1. The steering wheel controls don't work. 2. The AM radio doesn't work at all. 3. The Bluetooth randomly mutes itself. It stays connected and the...
