If you’re just going for the look of bed liner you can use textured spray paint. The advantage of that is their are several colors to choose from to match your interior.

Unfortunately for you , a very large majority of the people on this forum are in the USA. We don’t have Skoda cars here. I will say that the factory stereo is 14 years out of date and malfunctioning. I would look into replacing it with a modern aftermarket stereo.

I would go with the ofc. If you use the cca, you should go a size larger. ( If your amplifier requires 0 gauge, use 00 if you go cca. )

14 year old cd player. Broken. Time to upgrade.

If the red wire doesn’t have 12 volts with the key on, the stereo will not come on. If you want to test the stereo to make sure it is working correctly, you can connect the red with the yellow that has power. You can’t really leave it that way because the stereo will stay on 24/7 till it runs...

Picture 1. Set the upper slider marked HP to about 75 or 80. Picture 2. Leave it the way that it is. Picture 3. The top knob is the bass volume. Set it where you want it to be. Just set the second knob to 125 and leave it there. The subwoofer settings on the head unit will take care of...

That is a preorder. Which means, who knows when you will actually receive it. It’s your decision, but I swore off pre ordered years ago. I would look at the Taramps smart 5 or smart 5 bass.

Have you checked the battery voltage at the amplifier while it’s playing? Because what you are seeing may just be impedance rise, not low voltage.

What? One thing is a electronic crossover, the other thing is a type of subwoofer enclosure.

My dad had a street rod that he built a few years ago. He hid a regular car antenna inside of the trunk . he mounted it horizontally at the top of the trunk in front of the hinges. Unless you opened the trunk bent down you would never see it.

That is incorrect. 80 hz is the starting point of the filter. Not the 12 db down point. In other words, 80hz is the highest frequency that has full output. Above 80 is when the filter starts to take effect.

You have set the filters wrong. For example 80hz for the low pass is where the filter starts reducing output, not the 12db point.

I would run a separate amplifier for the subwoofer.

I would not spend huge amounts of time trying to get the measurements down to the millimeter. Just get basic measurements down to an inch or two. The reason I say that is that I have set up time alignment in a few cars over the years and I have had to tweak every one of them away from what was...

The easiest thing to do is to shorten the wires as much as possible. Or tuck the extra wire down into the seat gap. I only really did a neat install on my own car 1 time. Less than a month later a brand new amplifier went bad. The local store that I bought it from warrantied it with a...
