For door panels made of ordinary ferris metal (mild steel):
Take a voice coil, preferable a large one from a sub.  Solder some
speaker wire leads to it.  Use a stand with a large aligator clip to
position and hold the voice coil near the exposed metal door skin,

I was going to go out and buy an IPOD for playing music during long
drives, then caught up with how small and light notebook computers
have become and am considering using a notebook instead (need a new
computer anyway).  For example, a new IBM is under 3 lbs. and has

I've been googling around looking for an MP3 Jukebox that
mounts in a normal DIN slot (like the RIO Car), but all the
ones I can find (Dension, Neo, Phat-whatever) all show them
being trunk-mounted and never mention moutning in a DIN form

Hi, I have a Kenwood MP3 deck that came with my 2003 F-150 truck. This
winter it has started to black out when it rains, heavy fog develops,
or if there is a lot of dew or moisture in the air. I had some
amplifiers installed but have been assured several times by the

I am running one 8-ohm 10" sub off a bridged amp which supplies 300W rms. I
will be adding a second identical 10" sub and will wire it in parallel to
create a 4-ohm load.

Hey, y'all.
I want to change out my front speakers.  I don't want to fill up half
the hatch with a sub, so I'd like something with some decent punch.
(Those $170 BassLinks on eBay are tempting, tho...)  I don't listen to

I've got a JVC CD deck (I believe its a KD-S580) and the CD is stuck in
the player right now.  If I hit "eject", the disc does not come out.  I
can play the CD that's in there (it doesn't play after I hit "eject",
alhtough if I turn the unit off and on it will play again).

I bought a pair of cheap 6x9's that I want to use for rear fill. They will
replace the factory rears that are currently in there. I want to run them in
parallel with my kenwood splits that is in the front.
Problem is that the 6x9's have a sensitivity of 92 while kenwoods have

opinions going around. My question is, what is considered to be

I have a 2003 Jetta and I am looking to transfer my 1din radio into it.  I
am looking for a wiring harness so I do not have to modify the stock harness
to hook up my radio.  Also I think I need an antenna adapter to go from a
euro plug to the north-American type.  Also the actual ...

I have a Ford Aerostar that I would like to upgrade for MP3 CD
playback.  Here's my weird plan: install an MP3-compatible CD changer
with FM broadcast, and have the option of listening via the factory
radio or on personal FM headphone receivers.  This would allow some

Question:
I am looking for a fairly powerful and cheap  DC amplifier for a
project i am working on : DC to say 1-5khz response, maybe 10-50
