I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE and while driving to work the other
day, 2 of the speakers died (front left and right rear).  The car
stereo is a factory model with a cd player.  Any ideas what it could be

I'm having a problem with a new
Pioneer DEH-2800MP
It fails to save custom EQ and radio station settings once the key has
been removed. Has anyone had this problem before? Not necessarily with

Weird bird here. I have accepted the fact that I will have to retain the
factory head. Can I tap into the rear speakers to add a sub? Also, any ideas
on integrating my IPod other than an RF transmitter?

I have an old system that I want to strip out & make into a Windows XP
box that does nothing but house MP3's of my entire CD collection, &
play them through Winamp.  However, I want this in my van.  I've been

Question about sub placement in trunk: I have nowhere I can put a sub in the

anything from the trunk to the interior.
What is a trunk subwoofer? Can it be used in any way successfully WITHOUT a
