What happened to Clarion? I was checking out some of their more
higher priced models of head units, and I noticed they are
getting uglier and uglier each year. Not only that, I've also
noticed that many of their newer head units only have 2 volt

I have a few not so everyday RAC technical questions:
1. Are there any car amp manufacturers that make an amp with
digital crossovers? I want to be able to adjust my crossover
points right down to a tee.

Is it that bad to run comps and a sub koda10 with a 4 channel amp.
I was told to use two amps but if it's a well built amp why not?

is it bad to just put water in your raditor..
i am, and i see no leak but the next couple days i need to add more
water...and does anyone know where i can find B&G stop leak, someone
told me thats the best...

By complete accident when I configured my current setup I only sent the
midrange frequencies to my amp that drives my real fill speakers (5.25 Focal
coaxials).  I've always had my rear fills playing the entire frequency
spectrum, besides using a HP filter of around 100Hz or so.   ...

I just installed a Profile HA1040 in my Subaru WRX to power the main
speakers.  The car has a new battery and I ran good wire as short as
possible from the battery to the amp.  When the car idles the sound drops
out for half a second and comes back up.  I know my alternator is ...

Hypothetically speaking, what improvements in SQ and/or SPL
would I notice if I Dynamatted my entire interior? When I say
entire, I'm talking about all of the the doors, the hatch area,
the rear seat panels, the insides of the front doors, and even

I've just been given an 2 channel amp (Its a Mutant NW2100 XP), the specs
say its stable from 2 - 8 ohm, the two channels can be bridged. The issue is
I have 2 6x9's and also a Sub which I would like to wire to this amp.
The Sub is a single coil 4 ohm and the 6x9's are also 4 ohm. I ...

My old Rockford Fosgate Punch 600iv just took a crap, and I'm looking
for something relatively inexpensive (but at least nominally competent)
to toss in to replace it.  It was driving a set of Polk 5.25"
components in the doors and a pair of JL Audio 8W1-D4s wired

In very good condition work perfectly. Original box and packaging. This is

Sorry for the delay, for those interested I now have some results regarding bass
output with the windows open. First a baseline was recorded with the windows up
then several other configurations were tested for comparison. I only made a few
sweeps from 10Hz to 200Hz in each ...

I recently used a tool similar to this one to remove the door panels of
my Accord, to replace my speakers.

It seems almost impossible to get the tool under the tool panel without

i have a 2005 subaru forester with the stock HU.
what is an easy way to tap into the ground wire of the head unit? i
normally solder all my connections, but it's a little tight back there.
splice? is there a connector that works? how do you guys do this?
