    Music quality

    it seems here we spend a ton of time talking about what we use to power our music, but we all need good music to power our systems! personally my ipod had a minimum of 192kbs but lots at 320kbs, but it deffintely pays off. How does everyone play their music, and how does it handle lower quality...

    From ground up, what will 1000$ get me?

    the best for my price range. I am open to ideas, im thinking of getting 1 -15" ported/tuned to whatever works best with the sub. I am willing to use about half my trunk which is about 13feet³. Im hopping that my box will still leave room for the spare so maybe MDF/fiberglass if i can learn to...

    From ground up, what will 1000$ get me?

    I guess i have a little bit to work with, i have a 150amp inline fuse, coaxials for the current set-up. Deka intimidator's run about 140$ each, knukoncepts 1/0 is like 1.75$ a foot and ring terminals are like 1$ at home depot with the welding supplies, but i guess i should fix my numbers to ____?

    From ground up, what will 1000$ get me?

    I drive a 2005 dodge neon with a 120amp alt. I have a system that is falling apart and i want to sell it and work from the ground up. I am looking to spend around 1000$ (not fixed) Im thinking ill need: (rough estimates) 300$ for 2 battery (1 under hood, 1 in rear) 50$ for new/upgraded...

    The worst you've been ripped off by your local shop?

    I have a true rip-off story, that wasn't one due to "i decided to pay" i was getting safety and emissions done at some hole in the wall shop that had a 40$ special for both, so thats a fair price. I know my car is in amazing shape and should pass. WRONG. I had a 194 that was burnt out for a side...

    Is Knu KLMX wire good? i would go with 1/0 which would be overkill in my case anywise, or should i go with _____ wire instead? also where is the cheapest O rings or whatever to bolt down to the stock spot?

    dual battery?

    dual battery?

    I know the big 3 wont help too much, but i know the battery will be the biggest difference, considering how much it ***** donkey balls but for the big 3, would Knukoncepts KLMX be good, and shoud i get 1/0, or would 4 do fine in my case?

    dual battery?

    judging by the lights dimming, i wouldn't be surprised if it hits low 10.5-11.0 if i really pushed it, i need to pick one up, and test it out, maybe put in the cap just for shits and giggles for some benchmarking. then i can join the army of everyone else, but would like to see for myself

    dual battery?

    all the ones i looked at are WAY to big, off the deka website i found the 526RMF, which fits, but only has 540CCA and 80 reserve power, and i cant find a cost. i need one in the 26R category. i found a local number for dealers, ill give them a call in the morning, but any addition information...

    dual battery?

    I dont want to spend more than 150$ shipped and would like a reliable battery, that i still have room to upgrade more audio without worry. With the optima i found, it would be cheap, and has tons of CCA and reserve, but wouldnt fit under the hood.

    dual battery?

    For 120$ for a brand new yellowtop, maybe i should just not have a front battery, and have it all in the back? i thought with the isolater it made it so the electricity would pull from the alternator, but the diodes in the iso made it so they cant come from the other side, like this link i...

    dual battery?

    It will drain from both even with an isolator? I was going to do 1/0 from alt, then the iso, then the 1+ to my trunk for the rear batt and all audio+ extras and the other + to everything else stock. Ifi think i get the yellow top for a good deal, it should be okay? Right now i have stock alt...
