    Hi guys I'm putting a Sony unit with wireless carplay into my hiace camper next week. There's a pink wire comes out of the head unit that needs to be connected to the VSS (aka speed pulse signal wire) for the maps to work properly. Anyone know where I'd find that on a 2009 petrol hiace? I'm putting a Sony unit with wireless carplay into my hiace camper next week.

    Hello everyone, my name is Jack and I been lurking for a few weeks and found lots of cool technical information on this site. So I am coming out of the woodwork to get a little more active on the site. Been away from car audio for too many years, now I am back to have some fun in the dB drag lanes for the 09 season. I live in N. Ca in the Sacramento valley and had a chance to attend / bug most of the guys that competed in the dB drags this year. Just wanted to say hello and thanks to everyone that has shared their experiences with car audio on this site.

    Hey guys. Im new here but i cheated on the sign in. I already posted a topic before doing one here. Is this an initiation? Anyway i joined to learn about car audio and the like and this is a great place to do so. I'm from Alaska and not so many people out here are into car audio which is why i joined, to meet people that do know and so they can teach me.

    Alright guys what's up! I need some help here. Right now I have a 97 BMW 318is with a 12'' Kicker CVR in a ported box a 800watt PPI PCX2200 amp. and a ghetto cheap cap from Fry's. Now I need some Components that'll fit just like factory. My local shop told me to go with Focals so that'll probably be what i run with unless i get enough people to tell me i can get something as good for cheaper haha. I was wondering if I could get a sub that'll rape 2 12'' cvr, cvx, jl w6v2. I want a single sub at 800rms that'll use a box that takes almost half my trunk. I do care about SQ. I've read that RE SE and SX are great subs. I wanted to see what else was out there. Oh and right now …

  15. I've been a member here for awhile, but I had not visited or posted very often. That will be changing. For those of you who don't know me, I am a 28 year + veteran in and around the car audio industry, and I have worn virtually every hat to be worn. As much as I love car audio as a serious hobby, I have grown weary of the industry as a profession. In short, there are much better ways to conduct business, especially in the competitve car audio "sound off" arena. A better way has been created: Car Audio Tournament of Champions™ (CATOC™) The CATOC™ "preseason" is starting this month in the greater Phoenix, AZ area.

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to say hi and I'm glad to be a part of the community. I am from Louisville, KY. Are there many people from my area on the site? I came to this site because I am looking for a set of 12"s. Digital Designs 9512s Cascade Omegas Audio Pulse Axis FI BTLs I would also be interested in any other subs that you all think would handle between 2000 - 2500rms a piece. They need to be either D1s or D4s so I can wire them to 1 ohm to run off my Z1A. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to meeting everyone!

  24. Jim from CA, been on here for somethime and was on longer, but for some reason had to re-register. Anyway, just saying hi and will be looking for some help and opinions on how to best hook up my stuff in the future. It will be going in a 1970 Chevy Blazer I'm sloowly but surely restoring and will be putting a system in it sometime down the road. So far, I have aquired speakers for it little by little and now will concentrate on looking how to configure them around the new Zed Audio amps, and figure out which ones to purchase as budget permits.
