I'm most likely getting a 2022 Infinity QX60 next week. Like most new cars, it has the "Infotainment" system with the huge screen and all the integrated crap including a "Bose Performance Series 17-Speaker Sound System". I'm hoping to disconnect ALL the existing speakers and transfer the...

Damn, a few days and nothing?

I'm looking to upgrade my wife's sound in her car.  She has a 2015 MKS with the THX audio system that I believe has 14 speakers total and it sounds like garbage.  I played with every setting in the car and although turning off THX mode made it sound better, no amount of playing with controls...

This was certainly true for me.  I have a 2013 Grand Caravan with the stock 6-speaker setup and a couple of years ago I got a good deal on a Pioneer head unit and boy did it make a difference.  Between the upgrade to 22 watts rms per channel of power compared to the stock radio, and the 13 band...

Like Boomin said, you may have issues getting both to fit inside the lug and you will end up with a half-ass crimp.  But if both wires slide all the way in without fighting and/or having to remove strands and you can get a good solid crimp then I don't see any reason why you can't.  I'm sure you...

Cool.  Thanks.  I just ordered one.  Lots of good reviews on Crutchfield and Sonic and a lot of people running bigger and beefier speakers than mine, so if I blow my speakers or just want more bass, at least I know I can upgrade to a set of 12's without a problem. My box is about 24 years old...

I'm looking for a good amp for my sealed dual Rockford Fosgate 10" Punch sub box.  I believe they handle 200 or 250RMS.  I was powering them with an old US Acoustics USA 2200 amp, but need something smaller to hide. Sonic is running a sale on the Alpine MRV-M500 for $107.99 and including the...

Thanks for all the input.  I definitely have some more research and thinking to do on this.  Just so you know, I was just going to the shops to check out speakers since some of them have sound rooms and get recommendations from people who do this for a living.  And I will most likely be buying...

If I replace the USA 2200 with a new class D amp I can definitely keep the amp(s) mounted under the seats whether I do separate amps or just a single 5 channel amp as they are so small they will easily fit under the front seats.  And I can just  make a quick disconnect for the sub box.  So the...

This is probably not going to work because of the size of the amp.  Due to the size, the amp will not fit under either of the front seats without sticking out.  The van is a work van so I need everything hidden (except the sub box), and I was planning on mounting the USA 2200 directly to the sub...

I have a 2013 Grand Caravan and I'm looking to hook it up with some good sound.  I have a Pioneer NEX double DIN head unit, and I was planning on putting some new 3, 4, or 5-way 6x9's in the doors and also in the back, and some new 3.5" coaxials in the dashboard.  I was going to get a...
