speaker

My car has a small center channel speaker in the middle of the dash. I intend to do away with the factory amp in my car and I'd like to keep this speaker. But it seems to me that combining L+R (simplest thing to do) would mess with the stereo imaging. I'm thinking that the center should contain...

Hi Car Audio! This will be my first time working on my car audio, so definitely need a good forum to start things off on the right foot. I have a general sense of how to get things done, but need to make sure it makes sense first, and your advice is appreciated. I already have installed in my...

I looking to put 1 good sub in my car right now my 3 choices are incriminator judge, resilient sounds platinum and everyone always tells me sundown so I'm throwing them in too. I'm kinda leaning towards the IA judge but I've never actually heard one. also I am thinking 12 in. should I go 15?

I have a 1st Gen Orion 225 HCCA, but no speaker wire harness. It’s the attachment that plugs into this (shown below). I ordered the parts (the plug, the rods, & some 12 gauge wire; the issue I’m having is not being able to find a diagram detailing what wire goes where? Can any of you guys...

Hi everyone! I'm meh with car audio. Some experience but don't know a ton. Would love some advice and feedback. Looking to upgrade the system in my Bronco. Right now it has the B&O sound system with one of the worst subs I've ever heard. The mids and highs are weak (Especially with the top...

Hey yall. So on my drive home today my system started cutting out and it got to the point that only my sub was putting out anything. I played around with my radio and realized I can make it happen when I focus my audio to my front left speaker. Nothing comes out and if the front left speaker is...

Hi all, Upgrading the system in my 2016 Kia Sportage (using equipment from previous car as I'm being tight and it still works fine). Being a modern car it has a wiring harness between the door and cabin, not the old hole with a rubber grommet that we were able to thread new speaker wire...

I can't seem to find any reviewsI can't seem to find any reviews on this speaker, anybody no if there a good brand or not?

I'm adding aftermarket rear speakers to a 4 channel amp, sub (mono bridged), and 2 front door speakers. My question is, is it safe to chain the front and rear speakers - so rear positive to front positive, rear negative to front negative, front pos/neg to amp channels? Or should I just play it...

Hi, I found a pair of 30 years old, oval shaped Clarion SE-9450 4(!)-way speakers, 150W max. input from my first days with a car. I want to add them to my dad's old car on a soundboard (car is a liftback). Sadly, the foam disintegrates from just looking at it. 😃 Problem: It seems, the web has...

I have a friend who is trying to just add some subs and he does not have sub outputs on this stock head unit. So wondering how we get sub outputs using an l o c. Wondering if we would just take one of the speaker cables run it to the Loc and that would split it not really sure though.

We just released an article about the knowledge of the speaker! https://blog.cadencesound.com/index.php/2022/09/13/how-many-watts-do-car-speakers-need/ Hope everyone like it.

I first bought a new pair of tweeters from Walmart, Cheap ones just to test out the audio. Sound wasn't the best, but I did notice that when the car is running it makes white noise/Static noise. Doesn't get louder when you step on the gas or anything like that it's just a constant noise that...

So I bought a kenwood KAC-M5024BT amplifier for my motorcycle. It puts out 50w x 4 channel rms and has a max power of 600w. I have 4” mounted towers on my bike that I bought with 4” 45KM44 kickers installed that work at 50w rms and 4-ohms. After about a week one of the speakers blew and I’m...

I lost my remote control, and I can't manage the bass and treble level does anyone have any solution that I could manage it without remote. I search a lot that I might be able to find a remote mobile app for this speaker, but I could not find it. (If you know please let me know) (Rockville...

about 6 months ago I replaced the speakers in my 04 ram 3500. and now only one of them works i took the speakers out and there's still power too them and i tried putting it back in and rewiring it but still nothing so i am wondering what could be causing those 3 to have stopped working they have...

So I just got these two 8" subs and an 1000w amp but once and a while when the bass hits hard the speaker just stop working I'm assuming that the speakers are drawing to much power and the amp is just turning them off to not blow the fuse. But that might not be it cause I'm not so smart about...

This part on my speaker got disconnected somehow. I was wondering if I could just solder the wire back on since it’s just hanging off now. Also, what is it?

I want to add another set of mids / highs to my setup , I am currently running Rockford punch component set , and i want to add a set of Skar components , is it as easy as install them and play music? I saw a guy with about 5 component sets per door and people were giving him **** about how bad...

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...

I was on my way home today when my front left door speaker started vibrating like crazy shaking the whole car. I turned volume all the way down and it was still going crazy. Only thing that could stop it was turning off head unit. Never had this happen and googling has gotten me zero results. It...

  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...

I recently bought a Kenwood DDX374BT and new door speakers which are a two way Kicker 6x9. When messing with the equalizer and speakers on the radio, it only recognizes it as a woofer, not a two way. Is there a way to fix it? I'd like my sound stage to be more surround sound rather than in...
