I was wondering if anyone here has an Expedition or any other vehicle (other than a tahoe) and has put a D3100 under the hood. I think I saw a picture a while back of someone with a Ranger or F-150 with one under the hood but they mounted it sideways. If someone can offer some advice on something I could do to make it fit I'd gladly take it. I'm gonna get it under there one way or the other!! Thanks.

I have some pretty good pieces of car audio for sale and I really need some money for college so that's why there for sale. This is what's available; Fi Q 15 w/BP power: $225 each Cadence DCA-2500: $400 Boston Pro 50s: $150 Alpine PDX 2.150: $150 I have two of the Fi Qs and only one of all the other items. If you want all of them, I'll sell it all for $1000 plus shipping but I'll throw in power wire, 6 channel patch cable, and distribution block. All that is worth about $200 and it's what was used for this system so you know you'll have everything to get it running. I lost pics and the gear is stored right now so if you interested and require pictuers let me know and I'…

My current setup is MB Quarts, but horribly lack mid bass even amped and the treble was kind of harsh at times. With a budget of under 200, are there any components out there that have better midbass and smoother treble? Am i asking too much? How are the RE components?

I am looking to upgrade my current setup. I have a Directed Audio D2400 pushing 2 Hifonics Brutus Subs in a ported pre-fab box. It was a pretty good setup, but now I want more. I have been looking at the AQ sdc2.5 15" woofer. I would want to power it with a Hifonics 1200D Brutus Series amp. Running it at 2 ohms, which would send about 900 rms to the sub. I researched, sub and amp is a little under $400 total . Is there any setup that is better than this for the price. They are going in the trunk of an 04 Grand Prix. Thanks Justin

Well I need to find some screws and I'm not having any luck. They are allen head machine-type screws for the chassis of an amplifier. I've searched high and low locally....from big box stores to mom-&-pop hardware stores to RC Hobby shops. Everything I've found is either too large or doesn't have the right thread pattern. Anybody have an idea of a good store or website to look on to find somewhat obscure screws ?

About 20 Min. ago i was reading a topic that someone had posted. I had to turn off the computer but i wanted to save the topic so that i could read it later. I Clicked the "watch topic" button and i thought i would be able to go under my profile and look at the watched topics or something like that but im not able to find anything that has that. Is there anyway for me to see the topics that i am watching? If not the topic was about howa guy called a local car audio shop to mess around with them and see what they really knew about car audio. And when he stated that he was running 3000 Watts RMS he said his lights were dimming. What could he do about that The Car audio deal…

I know not a lot of people carpet stuff anymore, I guess I'm stuck in the 80's lol. I've been trying to find brown carpet for the past couple months to no avail. I can find black and gray all day long. Have come across a couple pieces of tan. I suppose worst case I can get some tan and tone it with some tint, just would rather not if I can help it. Thought maybe you guys could point me in the right direction. Here is what I need (the lower half). Thanks!

I'm trying to make a list of things I need to get and/or do. I'm going to do the big 3, upgrade my battery,and already got a HU. Okay I have a 15" fi BL, if anyone could point me to some spec of a box with good SPL that would be very helpful. I've aslo got a RF 1500-1bd so would I need 1 or 2 batteries for it all.Could I use one battery to run my car and the system with no dimming of my lights? My alternator is stock, but I don't know much about them so how many amps would be good? I'm putting it all in a 99' Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks in advance.

I am making a list of everything I need for my system and I need help. I plan on getting a Fi BL 18 loaded with a Sundown 1500 watt amp with a 10 cubic foot box tuned at 30hz. I want to use one of Sundown multi channel amps for the mids and highs probably the 100.4. I am gonna get a new starter battery and a battery for the trunk, isolate the battery in the trunk and get a larger alternator. Run all power and grounds 0 gauge. These are the things I am not sure of yet, what head unit to get, what mids and highs to get, what crossover to get, what brand of batteries to get, what size of alternator, and what type of equalizer. I can't think of anything else at the moment. I…

Trying to make a few decisions. First, I have a 2005 Ford 500 SEL Edition, I am trying to decide if I should have my subs facing the trunk, or facing the seating part of the car. Second, anyone out there with XCON's that has had them sealed and ported and could tell me which one they seemed to think is better. I've have them ported, but I am curious to hear what they sound like sealed. Third, If I decide to stay ported, I am going to redo the enclosure for them, but having a hard time deciding what tuning to use, any recommendation? My last enclosure, I can't tell you anything about, seeing as it was junk in my opinion, and the person who built it in my opinion was an idi…

I have a 94 camaro and I am currently running an old school Memphis 500 D amp to a single P3 in a 2.3 cubic ft sealed box. Obviously space is my limit. I am looking to get my hands on one of the MD2D US Amps. I cant decide if I wanna add another P3 and run two 12" or upgrade my sub to one kick ass 12. If I do so I would like to keep the same box I have. I am after some deep bass, something that can take your breath away. Also, what is your thought on a ported or slot vent box in a camaro? I have heard both good and bad. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok I just got my fi bl 18 and we have it hooked up to a hifonics bxi1606 and it is ran by a pioneer deh 5900, but anyway it worked good when i first got it 2 days ago, then it started making a weird noise and stopped working. Then after we took the whole thing apart and couldn't find the problem we put it back together and it magically started working again. Then today it stopped again. We took the whole thing apart and the amp still works and the sub isnt blown, and it isn't the auxiliary. Idk we've been messing with it for like 4 hours and the only thing i could think of is that a door speaker is messing up or the rem wire is messing up. Any help much appreciated, Mike…

My music tastes have changed completely. I used to only listen to rap/hip hop and now I dont listen to that at all. Now im into like Gavin DeGraw, Dave Mathews, Ben Harper, etc. So instead of "two bangin fit-teens" im goin with an SQ setup thats loud and clean. So far the only thing im set on is a single rli-8 in a sealed enclosure. Other than that i need ya'lls help, with... -an HU -sub amp (400-500 watts maybe) -components (a set thatll get pretty loud and clear but …
