I'm hooking up a set of subs that are 600w rms and looking to pick up a bigger amp. My question is if I have them hooked up into 1 channel do I want a amp with 600w rms output or 1200w rms due to each sub taking 600 each. Or do I want something larger so I'm not maxing out the amp? I've never...

I saw this on power acoustik's website and thought i'd copy and paste it... I thought it would just be an add for their stuff but its not a bad read :) and it doesnt advertise their stuff Tough question, but a simple answer… NONE! For many years, 12” subs have been the highest selling subwoofer...

I finally got around to doing this. The 05s didnt come with the aux-in so a few guys on the lgt forum found the signals on the board. It involves cutting 2 tiny traces and soldering onto surface mount components. I'm taking it a step further and installing a motorola t605 bluetooth so I can stream...

My younger brother is looking to piece together a sub set-up. He is not a audiophile so we aren't looking for top of the line stuff here. Things he is looking for: - He would like to try and stay around $400 using ebay. - He was thinking of 2x 12" - What kind of box should he...

I'd like to know, thanks.

Even though I'm sure this will end in a pissing match, I'll ask it anyway: What is everyone's favorite brand of car audio gear and why? Better yet, what is your favorite Entry Level and High End of each of the following categories: CD Players Highend Entry Level DVD Players Highend

This is the fool proof way to bypass that pesky dvd protection so that it plays when you turn on your in dash dvd player. I accept no responsibility or liability for anyone that decides to use a video source of any kind while in operation of a motor vehicle. this tutorial is for informational...

I finally have some spare change sitting around to buy myself some audio equipment again. Currently I am looking at a power bass 700.5 for its 4 channels at 50 watts rms at 4 ohms and a 5th channel with 400 watts mono at 4 ohms. Basically I just want my whole car to be a little louder at times...

i just recently bought some 10" L7's and i was looking for some input on the type of box i should use for them since the box they are in doesn't fit in my car. Would i be better off running an un-ported box or a ported box? Also would it be better to run them in individual boxes or in one box?

Just noticed that I have decent sized hole in my sub near the foamy part and the plastic center. Seen it at nite so not exactly sure if its rite between or just in the foamy part. So how do I fix it? silicon? superglue? impossible? Thx.

Havn't done this is a while, so I need some help. Gonna be running 2 amps - a Directed 1100d and a PPI PC4800. I was thinking of a 150 amp ANL fuse at the battery and then 2 80 amp AGU's at a distribution block for the 2 amps. Will run 4 gauge from battery to the block and then 8 gauge to the...

So last week, my sub stopped working. The culprit was that the amp's output died. So...... I bought an identical amp from a guy offa craigslist. I hooked it up and it worked. Then I noticed my sub stopped working again (the amp/sub is not mounted in the trunk, so it did slide around). I looked...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to replace the speakers in my doors to something that can hit some lower notes, but the mounting depth is really shallow. Can anyone suggest some decent speakers that will fit without cutting? Or for the 6x9s in the back?
