Was listening to the '50s channel on XM rdio yesterday. Song played
about a Nash Rambler overtaking a cadillac at 120mph. The driver of the
Rambler leans out and says, "hey buddy how do I get this car out of
second gear"?

I'm looking for amp suggestions for a moderate priced amp installation.
Something in the 25-40 watts x 4 (4ohms) range, clean and dependable.
The last time a really dug into amps I was going after RF Power or PPI
amps...but things have changed quite a bit since then. Also, I've ...

I'm considering a new HD radio head unit and am looking for opinions of
folks who've had experience with HD radio.
I live in the Seattle area.
Any opinions appreciated.

I want to build a new enclosure, and do it right. So...
- Does it matter which face of the enclosure the drivers and ports are
on?  On my current box, the ports are on the opposite face as the
drivers.  An installer here says the drivers and ports should go on the

I have a 2001 GP w/Bose system & OnStar. My problem is when I try t
play my cd's that I have burnt, will play the first track, then spit

I've got a 2002 Pathfinder, and when I got it, I had my Denon DCT-970
HU installed.
The DCT-970 had two shortcomings from the start: 1) alternator whine
(noticable at speeds 20MPH or less, faster than that the engine sound

Dzeq and I have been hashing this out, but I'm curious to hear from others.
We can't seem to get our 9853's subwoofer output to change from stereo (the
default setting) to mono.
According to the instruction manual, we are supposed to hit MENU, the SETUP,

I'm thinking of replacing the headunit in my '05 Ford Explorer.  I
don't have the $$ now to go with a separate amp so the HU will drive

I recently got a Clarion cd changer,I want to install it in my car but
iI have no ideea how.Is a Clarion CDC 605.Thanks!

With all the hype over Zunes and iPods, why is it so hard to make a car
head-unit with a removable flash card or hard-drive? I can't think of a
better way to implement car stereo. CD-Rs don't hold enough songs for a
massive collection, and both CD-Rs and DVDs are cumbersome to ...

Does anyone know if there are pre-fabed aftermarket brackets to mount a
double DIN radio into a '97 Volvo 850?

use all the opening for AVIC-Z1.

So I got a custom box(for free) that fits 3 10" subs. The subs are
going to be the sony xplod 10's, and I was wondering if there is a way
to wire them so that I have stereo from two subs, and mono from the
middle? Is it possible to do it all with only one amp? Thanks.

I've had an Eclipse unit the past 6 years (can't recall model..had the
5v preamp outputs) and it has served me well but I want the ipod
functionality so I've been looking for a new unit. I started with the
CD4000 but have noticed that the Alpine 9857 seems to have plug and
