I am trying to understand the basics of Speaker system / Amplifiers
etc.
could anyone point out any tutorials / materials which would help me
get more knowledge on this. I am basically looking into car audio.

I have an Eclipse DV3101 DVD drive. It is missing the wirin
harness/power connector. It is an 8 pin out. By the diagram in th
manual, it only uses 3 pins. 12+, ACC, and ground.
Does anyone know where it can be purchased?

I refuse to buy rca cables that cost more than my speakers.  Since I
have two amps, Monster cables would run me about 75 bucks.  I am
considering running RG6 to provide signal from the HU to the amp, using
a crimpable rca connector or sauder my own.  I am just unsure of all

I am building a vented sub box.  I purchased some port tubes from
madisound.com.  These are engineered tube with large flares at the
entrance and exit of the tube to allow for smooth air flow.  What I
need to know is do I need to take into account the added volume these

Anyone know of any HU that has these features:
1. Supports DVD-/+R discs. Just the DVD spec for optical drives, not DVD as in
a screen playing movies. Just think of it as a normal HU but instead is a
DVD-ROM drive instead of a CD-ROM drive. Of course those with screens have

I have a Sony Xplod CDX-MP40 head unit, a MTX Blue Thunder Pro 752 amp,
and a MTX Thunder 250D amp.  I had some questions regarding the wiring.
The Pro 752 has a built in x-over but only has one set of RCA
connections.  I assume that this is for the input from the head unit.

I've been looking around and only for a few subs that I like. I am
looking for one really good sub or 2 12" subs that will be a nice
addition to my car (2001 Dodge Neon).
My budget is around $500 per speaker. But I've only seen a *few*

i have 2 rockford 600 watt amps and i want to run them to a 12" Jl W7.
on the side of the box its mounted in it has 2 sets of posts with a
metal piece connecting them should i just remove the piece and connect
1 amp to one and the other amp to the other set of posts.

Can I get some feedback on this amp, as well as the brand? Profile AP1200.
Good? Junk? Experiences?
I wanted to know because of the things I've been hearing in this group,
like companies that overstate amp ratings. How dependable is Profile?

Can I get away with mounting 4 6x9's in a single box with a single open
chamber for all? What would be the effect of this?
thanks for the advice

Sure, companies like Pyle make budget speakers and amps, but they also make
car video equipment at low cost. Anyone here know how good this stuff is?
Suggestions for other brands?
I'd like a deck that accepts DVD-RW's and plays MP3's from it, with good

I have some ideas for speaker cabinet designs and I'd like your input. I'm
not sure if any of you have seen sound dampening "studio foam". It's
basically a square pad with pyramids on it that dampen sound waves, for
reducing sound reflection and standing waves. Would it be a good ...

Hi.  I recently installed a DEH-P80MP and I've noticed that while I'm
able to adjust the brightness of the OLED display, I seem to be unable
to adjust the brightness of the LEDs that illuminate the buttons and
the big control knob.  Does anybody with a P80MP (or, presumably, a
