I think the stuffing is a good idea in any system where you will be playing the volume at higher levels. I'm not talking about the amount of airspace the sub wants, I am talking about the reflections coming off of the back of the cone, hitting the back of the box and then hitting the back of the con...

Yes, I do understand that you want a shorter ground, but the fact is that the frame is going to take just as long getting the energy back to the battery as a wire, infact, it should take less time with a wire because the wire has less resistance and doesn't spread out. I just don't trust the ground ...

Grounding an amp COULD be easier right????

Could I not just take a 0 guage wire and run it back up to the negative terminal on the bat? I mean, that would be a more direct route, and it would be less restrictive than the frame... Why does everyone say "ground to the frame" when obviously there is a more effective way of going about...

Well, I tried the antenna controller first because it was easier, and it works if the deck is playing the radio OR the CD's, so I'm good. Oh, and there was no other cable that shows the 12 when on anyway, I dunno where it could be, or if its just not on this car... ::shrugs::

Don't you use the blue power antenna wire as the remote on/off for the amp?? The solid blue wire will only show 12v when in AM/FM source mode. This means your amp will be off while playing CDs. The blue/white wire shows 12v as long as the deck is powered on regaurdless of the source mode. Some manu...

Hey, I'm almost done with my sub install. . . I'd just like to ask if anyone knows anything about this. I have two RCA sets coming out of the back of my head unit, both are female. The difference is one set is solid, I mean mounted to the back of the unit. The other pair is a cord that comes out abo...

All of the available options work as long as you know where to put them and when to. A high-capacity cap is a good upgrade as long as you know the system can handle the load already, it will stop the flickering, and its nice to have a small buffer in between the not always constant flow of electrici...
