    Boston Acoustics G5

    if you set it up right, the g5's will get crazy loud... did a pair of them ported in an expedition and it broke the overhead console that is above the rear view mirror, this was running an alpine mrd-m605 to each sub. but regardless the g5 is a great sounding sub, doesn't take a lot of power to...

    passive crossover placement

    you can put them wherever they fit, so long as you don't put them somewhere they'll get wet (like in the doors)

    Question for anyone with Bostons Sl65's

    don't waste your money doing components in the back. save your cash. the sl 65's will do just fine. but... if it were me, i'd go with the pro's in the front, and SX in the rear. leave your front stage dominant.

    Static/crackling sound from speakers at mid-volume

    so let me see if i'm reading this right... the battery negative cable goes to the engine block, and from the engine there are ground straps going to the chassis? this reads as if there is no direct connection between the battery to chassis... try taking a piece of 4awg (or larger) wire and...

    What speakers are comparable with JL Audio ZR650 CSi?

    i've had a fair amount of experience with the ZR's... great sounding speaker. however, in the same vehicle with similar power feeding them, the boston Z6's sound waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the ZR's and don't cost much more... it is worht the extra hundred bucks i had an 02 jetta with the...

    Static/crackling sound from speakers at mid-volume

    make a better battery to chassis ground. i've also seen spark plug wires cause strange noises. check to make sure your alternator's voltage regulator isn't bad. i've had a customer with a 75 or something ford ranger that the regulator took a dump and the alt was making between 16 and 17 volts...

    Finishing up my install- question about setting up my Boston Pro60s active?

    boston in particular puts a lot more R&D into their crossovers than a lot of companies do. it's not just a typical cap and coil setup. and their crossovers in particular also address a lot of different issues such as phasing issues for on and off axis mounting tweeters, tweeter protection...

    new component questions

    alpine speakers sound like poopie. crappy midbass response, and sound like you're listening through a tin can. there are way better speakers for your money.

    JL Audio XR650 Components

    for $250 i'd say they're worth it. they're a good sounding speaker, and in that price range you won't find a whole lot that sounds THAT much better, if better at all

    Quick Question.. Replacing Stock Components

    no. make sure you got the door panel back on all the way and didn't break any clips. i had jl tr's and xr's in my 02 impala, (plus a 10w7) and it didn't rattle at all. but that was back in 02 or 03. maybe your dad's car didn't age well? ive done installs in a TON of impala's for customers and...

    JL Audio XR650 Components

    i wouldn't pay a fortune for them, but yeah they're a very good sounding speaker. lots of midbass available, and the tweets can be a little on the harsh side, but attenuated a little bit sound very good as well

    Quick Question.. Replacing Stock Components

    look on the bottom of the rear deck lid, (where the 6x9's are). a lot of the impala's had a factory amplifier there, regardless of trim level. my 02 impala LS had one, and i've also seen other LS's that didn't have one. if you look in from the trunk, you'll see a big silver box mounted in the...
