Ok I just sold both of my JL Audio 12W7s and I was looking for a new setup
for my 2001 pathfinder. I want to look for something that kinda musical and
still gets some good spl. willing to spend about 900 on the subs but not if
I dont have too. I was thinking about either 2 jl ...

I have 2 Alpine Type R 10's in a sealed enclosure (1 cu ft per
woofer).  I have a Lanzar 16002c Rackmount amplifier.  (It's rated at
2 x 400 WRMS at 4 ohms, 2 x 720 WRMS at 2 ohms).  I am unsure if this
amp is rated correctly, however.  I want more SPL.  I was thinking of

So I was thinking of getting a line driver to interface between my computer
and amplifiers, because the sound card output is rather low and, on my sub
amp at least, the gain is at the max (and I could afford to go a little
higher with it).  However, I evidently have an S/PDIF output ...

when i check out the amount of preamp outputs on the back of head
units, i see that the outputs are either 2-volt or 4-volt. i think
that 2volt is the regular naked wire in the normal plastic shell, and
4volt is whats commonly called RCA cables (the red,white and yellow

If any of you know the woofer crossover points with Infinity's old 20.1 XP
Crossovers, I'd sure benefit to find out from you.

I may be self-installing my second system in the next few months and I'm
starting my planning now.  My first system I installed 8 years ago and for
whatever reason I've forgotten a LOT, so please forgive any stupidity:
I will be using at least some Infinity Kappa 6x9s, possibly ...

I have a small .5 farad cap left over from a small sub I took out of
my old Honda. I want to add a small sub and this cap into another car.
The cap worked fine, it was just that I seemed to have to charge the
thing periodically, for dumb things I did. Like leave the lights on,

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup to post in so
apologies if it's not!
I have my eye on the new Pioneer AVIC-X1 navigation system. It's
either out now, or should be in the next couple of days.  Does anyone

I just got my 2003 Explorer and starting to poke around in the interior
before I start my install. Simple question: is the trim panel around the
factory radio (looks like a simulated carbon-fiber overlay) held in by
clips, pins, adhesive, ???? I was able to get my nails under the ...

How can I test a cd player to be sure it works without having to install the
whole thing?

I have a alpine V12 500 watt amp trying to push two thunder6000 12's.
I briged it get more power and when i turn up the volume it sound good

Hello, All,
Is there any reason a modern FM car tuner should lose sensitivity
over time that's not related to the antenna?  I have a '99 Passat
with a stock VW radio.  When I first got it, I was astonished at

I was thinking of buying an mp3 player and palying it through my car
stereo.  I heard the FM transmitters were bad  Is that so?
Also, how are the cassette tapes that allow you to play mp3s though the
tape deck?

My husband and I bought an 84 Bronco a few months ago. For a bit of
background, it had a factory radio, not even a tape player. And it worked
fine, but didnt light up at all (along with a few other things) when the
headlights were on. So anyway I just installed the new cd player we ...

Please be gentle...rookie here.  Very basic question for all of you I am

Say I wanted to install a bazooka sub in my trunk.  I understand that I can
tap off the speaker wires that go to the rear speakers.  Now, I need to run
