Hi all, I'm planning a full DIY audio upgrade for my 2019 RAM 1500 Crew Cab (non-Alpine system with 8.4" Uconnect). I’ve done a full system once before in a sedan, so I have some experience, but not enough to be fully confident. I’m trying to keep the OEM head unit and would love feedback...

For guys without access to or room for a table saw, this is a super cheap alternative to saw track kit. The metal angle cost ~$10 vs ~$80 for a saw track kit. You can get a decent circular saw for ~$50-$100.

Hi I have this idea, please give advice on the limitations or if there is a better way to do things, this is in the direction of a most low budget bang for yhe buck, i am not trying to reach mark lewinson sound, just power some clarity and low end thump. To use with iphone by Bluetooth to...

Hello all, I'm selling my truck so i disconnected all the audio equipment i had in there. I disconnected two amps and my subs from under the back seats. I left all the wires in there just taped them off now the door speakers aren't making any sounds. I'm hoping i just made a rookie mistake...

So I'm receiving some clipping or what sounds like clipping to me from my amp. It's just the amp I installed an older amp and it works perfectly fine with the sub never had an issue with it but it's a poor quality amp and I wanna see if I can get this rockford fosgate amp to work. I've taken the...

Hi all, I'm sure that I'm missing something obvious feel free to correct my assumptions Doing my first audio install on my Lancer. Saved the amplifier from the old car. I don't want to pay someone else to do it mainly because the last guy did it pretty rough and I wanted to do it my own way...

JL Audio doesn't directly sell replacement parts for 12W7s and they want like $200 for a service/repair job. https://fixmyspeaker.com/product/full-cone-cover-for-jl-w7/ would be a good option, but they're unavailable and have been for months. Has anyone found an alternative, maybe from a...

Hey all, after hours of scouring the internet for info I have decided to ask instead. I want to hook up 6 speakers 2 subs and 4 door speakers. I currently have the two subs and 2 rear speakers hooked up. I ordered 2 speakers for the front doors and want those hooked up to the same amp if...

So this go around I think Im going to run raw drivers in a 2 way active set up. currently my doors are sealed and deadened, and looking at going with raw drivers from madisound and/or parts express. I want a high end sound, but on a budget (champagne but on a beer budget!) I was looking at the...

I drive a 2007 Accord that has the radio antenna embedded in the rear glass. My deck is a Pioneer 880PRS. I had horrible reception even with power going to the stock antenna booster. I read about the universal window mounted antennas but people were saying that nothing beats a good old mast...

Neat idea: CamoDipKit.com They have carbon fiber, woodgrain, skulls, snake skin, and camo dip kits... Was thinking it would make a neat dashboard finishing kit

I've been wanting to build my own boombox for about 20 years, so I recently decided to hack my trusty Rubbermaid 21" Plastic toolbox into a portable car stereo "boombox". Here are the components I used: Source - Alpine CDA-9813 CD/MP3/WMA (with V-Drive high power built-in amplifier) Sound -...
