    good bass songs to show off my system?

    Zane is nuts! LOL ! THX woofer excursion test IS indeed the Ultimate bass track. I suggest ear plugs and reinforcing your Rearview mirror and take all loose items out inside your car.

    jl *****

    I wouldn't go as far as saying that they ****. JL Audio has been in competitions for years, and they generally hold strong in the Sub Woofer market. Everyone has heard of them. If you listened to them in the store, ask them to put one in your trunk to listen. All the stores I've been to were...

    Dynamat sheets or spray?

    Hello, Use both. You would want to user the sheets for the floor boards and trunk of your car. That alone will eliminate a lot of your road noise. I'd use the spray on the door panels and areas where it's hard to have the sheets stay in place and are very curvy. The floor panels and trunk...

    cheap amps any good?

    Hello, You'd be better off with Jensen amplifiers or Profile rather than settling for those legacy amplifiers. You can get a good amp for cheap. You may want to even go with the ebay or ubid route to try and get a cheap price. Bottom line is try to stay away from brands like legacy or...

    component help; ADS-Diamondaudio-OZ-Image Dynamics - boston pro how do they compare

    Hello, I've heard all of those components with exception to to OZ (can't find them anywhere in m area). Boston Pros are pretty good and they have good full sound. ADS is pretty pricey, especially for their top end components. Diamond Audio Hex series components would be my favourite as far...

    what wrong? has this happened to you?

    Hello, This is a situation that occurs with a batchful of MTX Thunder subwoofers which I believe started at the assembly plant. I had a 10" Thunder 7000 (older model) which started making burping sound that sounded horrible. I took it to a local shop and they told me that I had a junk box...

    What should i buy

    Hello, If you're strict on a $500 budget, it may be wiser to go with good quality components one at a time rather than settling for an entire system. I would go with a 4 channel amp and good interior speakers first before the sub and sub amp. If you're just into how hard your car can pound...

    infinity speakers, good or bad

    Don't plan on getting great bass without a sub, regardless on what the speaker says or advertise. I have 6 1/2" Kappas in my car, and it gives good clarity and all around range, but you definitely hear a difference with a subwoofer. Most people have the misconception on that subs are only used...

    im cheap but need beat

    Hello, B&R Innovations is a wise shopper. www.thejeb.com has great prices on their products. My rule when starting with car stereo is this. Buy good quality products one at a time, instead of a whole system just because you can't wait and have to settle. You'll just end up changing it...

    HELP, Is my head unit of Quality?

    Hello, Nothing wrong with it. It's a decent head unit and Clarion is a reputable company that sells good stuff. As far as looks I agree it's pretty dull, but then again, it's less likely to get stolen.

    Preamp outputs

    Hello, It's definitely worth it for $30 bucks because not only will you get a cleaner signal transfer, but 4v preouts and above are pretty much standard these days for quality head units. When you use good RCA signal cables, you will notice a big improvement in sound quality and clarity over...
