Re: My new Pioneer Double Din!
Actually, that Sony amp is pretty decent. Solid power and good sound quality. I know people have a hard time thinking Sony can make anything good since their days of Xplode, but I can tell you from...

Re: Newbie need advice.
Don't get too hung up on the size of the woofer cone. You need to make sure you pick the right sub, build the right enclosure and use the right amp. A properly set up 8" sub can hit lower and...

Re: Speaker Issues
Is Bluetooth louder than the other sources at the same volume? Check your EQ settings on ALL sources. Kenwood has made it so their head units come boosted right out of the box when you power them...

Re: Factory AUX Stereo (2007+)
Not much else to grab. Not sure the aux wiring coming from the aux panel simply runs straight to the radio though. Seems like it may get tied in with some of the other wiring and end up at the back...

Re: AGM battery Kinetik or XS Power?
XS Power. The Kinetik is a power cell not a battery and will not hold up long term without proper maintenance and not many people have the correct charger to do this. Also, if you are just adding a...

Re: Speakers acting up
If all three speakers started acting up at the same time then I doubt it is the wiring. The chances of three sets of speaker wire failing at the exact same time are... well... minimal. Also, you...

Re: Aftermarket stereo blows fuse along with parking lamp fuse
Was this a new install or were you just going back in to shrink wrap your wiring? If this was an older install that you were just cleaning up, I would take a look at the pins of the wiring harness...

Re: Upgrading Sound System
That sub will do a decent job but unless you've got a hook up on one I wouldn't waist my money. The W7 is heavy ,inefficient and over priced. I'd look at a DD 3510 instead. Better sounding, more...

Re: How to wire high input amp to head unit
Have you tried hooking anything else up besides that sub? Do you have a multi meter to test the rca's with to see if they are working in case you have an amp problem?
