I know in most of the 89 honda's the grill will just pop off it needs to be pryed off carefully from the front or back I can't remember which. If however your speaker grill looks much smaller than a 6.5 inch speaker, you will need to remove the door panel which is not hard especially if you...

building a box up to 25 percent larger than recommended specs will give you a deeper sound, but you will lose transient response and make the power handling threshold of the woofer lower. If all you listen to is jazz and some rock then this idea will probably work unless you have an ungodly...

no, not with one speaker

If there is room, some people put them in the doors at the speaker location. If you have more wire and patience, you can display them near the amps. Several installers cut them into the doors and display them flush mounted........there are several options

I disagree stock speakers give decent sound when amped by a quality amp. Also whenever customers came in to see me with a budget, I would suggest they got the amp first even if all the other stuff was stock (except the deck). Then buy the subs one at a time. Keep in mind most of the younger...

the reason I only 4 subs is because the amp is really putting more than 60 some watts to each sub, and mainly because there are two ways to increase your spl........one is double your power, or increase your cone area. I chose to go the cheaper route and double the cone area, while using...

nice start but with that much power on subs, you will surely need an amp for the mids/highs even if they are stock

That is a hard question to answer not knowing music type, and amp power. You might go a little larger for a little more low bass. On the other hand if you don't listen to a lot of rap/bass then go to spec for a tighter bass response. Or if you don't have a lot of power, a ported enclosure may...

if you are familiar with the honda passport, you know the engine is basically a blazer 6 cylinder. I have the flowmaster 60 on mine and it does give it some lobe, but not like the big v-8 dodge's with the dual flow's on them. I am really happy with it it isn't super loud, but subtle and when I...

Opti drive are the better of the Lanzar line of amps. The opti drive are a little more expensive than the vibe stuff, but worth it and still in an excellent price range

to give you the settings of someone that has the same or similar pieces of equipment would not be a good idea, because of acoustic differences in the vehicle. Plus you have a pretty heavy front stage (very nice though) the best thing to do is go piece by piece front to rear running only your...

well it depends on the efficiency of the speaker, what kind of speakers are they and what is the sensitivity rating or the db at 1 watt/ 1 meter. I am impressed because all of my 10's are 4 ohm so my amp is sitting at a 1 ohm load, I too may go down to just 3 woofers. I really love the amp...

deffinately Eclipse. low resistance high voltage outputs........great features, looks great. Sound quality above all else. Just watch which one u get the lower level are just good recievers nothing really sets them apart, but when u get into the higher end stuff it's the best

hell yes, I have just purchased a 500/5 after being an avid soundstream fan for years. As far as the power ratings go, the rear is for fill anyway so a lot of power isn't needed plus there is an ambient circut built in to give an almost surround effect (but not exactly you must read the...

The store I used to work at actually did a couple of del sols and we had good experience with the output even with top off. if you are really worried about it, run a couple ports into the cabin area from the box. If you don't want a ported enclosure, then run a large port through the back wall...
