Hey I'm doin a build for a guy. He wants a fiberglass console. I am trying to see what materials I am going to need. (mdf, resin, and fleece.) Is that all? Also when I build the box do I just bulid the skeleton, stretch the fleece over it, and paint on the resin? I've bbuilt several boxes but never done much fiberglass so all info is appreciated.

I am still running factory 6x8 speakers in my car and I am looking to upgrade them but would like some suggestions on brand. My sub stage will be someday be two 12" 1-1.5k watt subwoofers and I dont want to go cheap on the speakers. Definitely want component speakers in the front and either identical components in the back or 2 way speakers. I would like something that gets loud and clear and would to keep the total price of the speakers and 4 channel amp to run them under $800. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I don't know how many of you know much about Thilo Stampler, TC Sounds, and Audiopulse. I recently visited thier forum(which I do on occasion) and was amazed by what a sad collection of wannabe-ghetto trash that has infested the site. You have people posting other people criminal records, "authorized dealers" spouting profanity, and the same 3-5 people posting anything anywhere they can generally bad-mouthing anyone with anything decent or intelligent to say. I feel bad for Thilo because unfortunately THIS is his public face. http://www.audiopulse.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102

I just bought a 2007 2dr automatic GTI, Pkg 1 no leather, with sunroof. With todays technology are all Amps the same other than power rating? I listen to a lot of AM talk radio so I still need good AM reception. When I listen to music I listen to all types except RAP, HOUSE, AND INDUSTRIAL, I do listen to: Bluegrass, Jazz, rock, bagpipes, pipe organ, motown, country, new age, punk, classical... I am trying to decide what amps to go with. I think there are some digital like Alpine. Also a/b, d Should I go aftermarket head unit or stay stock and do I loose or gain features on steering wheel or otherwise. I am not interested in motorcycles flying across the display. I w…

Alright, so since i have nothing but time on my hands i was looking around at the IASCA rule book, and im considering i might be competing after my nice long Canadian winter. Id be in the Rookie 2 section. (Single Fi BTL 18 N2). Now, i saw a rule that all subwoofer enclosures / ports need to be in the cargo area. My original plan was to have my two 6" Aero ports going through the 6x9 slots in my rear deck. So heres my solution. Since aero ports are lovely and are able to be removed, i was thinking of making much shorter, like 5" in length aero ports for competitions. Giving me like a 45 hz tune or something. Geez thinking about competitions when i havent even insta…

Recently got a new car and i'm going to have this one for a long time. So i'm looking for a nice headunit. I've been looking into the double din types e.g. the pioneer D3, or Z2. Or the panasonic Strada. or whatever. I'm leaning more towards the pioneers because i can get them for cheap. Or possibly a JVC only problem is the jvc doesn't have navigation like the rest. Any suggestions guys??

well i had some time to mess around with things today in the gf's car (05 grand am) and got to taking apart the doors. to my suprise the stocks are 4x6's and not the 6.5's i assumed they were . didnt really want to get to involved with it as i said, its the gf's car. think some decent 4" or 4x6's with amp would be good enough or should i bare down and custom the 6.5's? if you were in my sit. what would you do?

So i have been looking at forum posts lately and i have come a across a word a few times and i don't fully understand it and i was wondering if someone could help me out! the word is "going active" like what does that mean? i have heard that before in movies but when i hear it, it doesn't mean anything good. so i thought i would just ask a noob question and maybe get lol at or be the bright point in someone's day!! thanks for helping Kenneth

A really nice kid that comes to my town once in a while to check out my van build has a school dance coming up and wants to borrow one of my EP4000s to run off his old receiver that has no crossover. He's running a car audio sub, I think it's a 15" Shocker Sig I'll make sure tomorrow, probably in a car audio box built to spec, going to guess 4-6 cubes tuned around 33Hz...I'll verify that as well. I trust the guy and he's really cool, but I don't ever move my amps...I dont ever fiddle with them...I dont want anything happening to them. My girlfriend, her son, and I use the stereo round the clock. I'd really like to come up with a VERY cheap alternative if possible and try …

It was between posting on here or in home audio but i just decided to post here.... my older brother has a Sony WM500 subwoofer that he bought a couple years back and does not use it so I decided to start a fun, little, "screw around" project. I have already taken the powered amp off the original enclosure and disconnected all the wires. Also I have taken out the actual subwoofer and taken out the power on button from the sub and I am planning on building a box for this sub. First off here is the subwoofer w/ powered amp: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11027875 Ok, so the box …
