speaker

Yesterday night I finished up putting my new sound system in my car. I was playing with it to find my sweet spot this morning and I went to get some food and as I rolled my window down to order, my speakers just suddenly stopped. I was wondering if I just nicked the wires or should I be more...

Can you use a multimeter to determine polarity on wire that is unlabeled (potentially while music on)? Wires were connected to factory rears to run to amp high level in. Those bare wires will power a test 5x7, just unsure of polarity when wiring my high level adapter.

Hello, I am having trouble with a noise in my speaker. I tapped into to my front left and right speakers to connect to my mono amplifier for a subwoofer I want to add. The problem is that now when I play music I get static out of the front left speaker, the static goes away when the RCA is...

So apologies if this turns into a wall of text, but I'm hoping that someone can advise me on a few issues. I've just got my first car in about 20 years (previously had company cars and / or lease cars), a 2014 BMW X1 with CIC Business NAv but the base audio (4inch mids & tweets in doors, 6.5...

  whats the best amp I could use for 4 alpine 6x8 speaker rated at 100 watts rms each and 300 Watts max at 4 ohms I was thinking the jbl GTR-104 4 channel amp for a budget but if I was going to spend more I thought a alpine X-A70F 4 channel or what do u think would be the best to power them?

Hi. I have an XStatic Model 400 Batcap that I use for my sub woofer amp. I'm about to get a higher power 4-channel speaker amp (150W per channel x 4). Would this amp now need to run through a cap?

Hi. I'm trying to decide between the Alpine Type X or Type R 6.5" component system for my car. I will also be getting the same model (whatever I choose) for just 6.5" co-axials for my rear deck as well. All 4 of the speakers will be powered off Alpine's new Type X 4 channel amp (the X-A70F). Do...

Hi all, so I recently bought a used Ford Focus ZX3 2001. I got it for super cheap, and the car runs like a champ, though it interior issues. Mainly the rear speakers. The previous owner had his own speakers and it looks like he ripped them out. I test some of my amp speakers but none of them...

Okay so I just took out my 4 stock blown out speakers in the rear deck of my 1999 Buick century. Now I have two 6 x 9 kickers that can replace all four. The only problem I'm having is that there are two outputs in the speaker harness and I need it to just be one output. How can I change this. I...

We have had a loud noise that happens when the car/engine is cold for only about 10 seconds, and then goes away. I am not sure if the noise is coming from our speakers, or if it is actually a mechanical problem. It sounds like a loud engine vibration. We bought our car last year, and then...
