Also any Canadian auto accessory websites would be appreciated.

Why does my subwoofer sound muffled?

I know this isn’t car audio, but this forum always seems more active and it’s very similar. I have a speaker system that I plug into my computer in my dorm. My subwoofer is next to my desk and storage boxes. So three of the six sides are against a surface (floor, desk, boxes). The front, back, and the side with the port are all clear of anything. When I’m at my desk, and near it, you can’t even tell it’s there. But when you walk 5 feet away, or even down the hall, it sounds ten times louder. Any tips?
@audiogod – It’s a preloaded computer speaker setup so the subwoofer itself just has plugs for the two satellite speakers. As far as putting it in the wall, I’m not sure how possible that is because the cords are not very long.

When building a car audio system is it better to be brand consistent or to mix brands?

Upgrading my Jeeps audio system, brands?

I’ve been looking into upgrading my Jeep Wranglers speakers and stereo for a while now, and I finaly have the cash to do it… I’ve been looking on Crutchfield.com for all the speakers and decks that fit, but I’m not sure on all the brand names.

Here are the brand names I’ve been looking at, I will be buying mid priced, around 400-500 for the whole system, so what brand has the best low-mid priced gear?

Heres what I’ve been looking at.
Alpine (speakers/deck)
Kenwood (speakers/deck)
Infinity (speakers)
Polk (speakers)

Notice I say speakers or speakers/deck… no infinity or polk decks fit in my jeep… for that matter, I’m not sure if they make decks… do they? But, thats kinda beside the point, so, what are your recommendations?

One last thing, is it okay to mix brands between the speakers and deck? Like if I got alpine speakers, would it be okay to get, say, a kenwood deck?

thanks ahead of time for all of everyones help, especially for car audio newbies like myself, let me know if you need any more info.

Liquidation sale in St. Charles, MO today?

My friend saw a commercial last night for a liquidation sale in St. Charles, Missouri today. Apparently you can find a lot of car audio equipment (amps, subs, speakers, etc.) for cheap. Does anyone know anything about this?

Picking out an amp, case, and wires for subwoofers?

Yesterday I bought 2 Sony 10″ Xplod Subwoofers (Peak Power 1100W each) Rated Power 300W each. I went to Best Buy and ask car audio sales rep. to help me. He pointed out an Amp. (I could not afford until next week.) and sent me home with a Kicker CK ZCK8 2-CH Amp Power Kit 500W Max. I have a 1989 GMC Sierra C1500 2DR Pick-up. It has two (possible) stock speakers and an out dated equalizer (with a cassette player attacked.) What do I need? What can I keep? What do I need to take back? He also said an enclosed case would be best for the Sony speakers. Best Buy’s stock seemed limited any other recommendations?

How much does power window installation cost?

I am thinking of getting a new 2012 Nissan Versa. The cheapest model with an audio package is $13,850 and the next model up is $15,500. The only difference between these cars it that the more expensive version has 4 power windows and the base model has all manual windows. I don’t know how much power window equipment and installation would cost, I am just trying to get an idea if it would be worth it to buy a cheap car, get windows installed elsewhere, and save some money.

Btw my car has no previous sub or speaker installation. It’s all stock.

Cost of Subs and Amp Installation?

What is the average cost of installing an amp and subs at a car audio shop?

I don’t know how much of this information matters but here are the details:
Car: 1995 Nissan 200sx (2 door)
– aftermarket deck and speakers already installed
Subs: Two 12in Polk Subs in a ported enclosure
Amp: 900 Watt Kenwood Amp KAC-9104D

I don’t have any cables or installation parts other than what comes in the manufacturer’s boxes, so I’ll need the prices of those too.
I will be running the amp at around 760 watts @ 2 ohms to match the subs

What are the best car speakers to install in your car?

About a month ago I had 2 rear eclipse speakers installed in my car, and about 2 days ago they blew out. I have 2 polk audio speakers in the front, and they are starting to go bad, but I got those like 8 months ago. Does anyone know if there are any really high quality speakers out there that wont blow out easily? Does it matter what kind of cd player you have, cause I have an eclipse player. Does it matter if you have an amp or not?

Hyundai Sonata, 2003 stalled. Can’t figure why. Any ideas? Suggestions?

This morning (cold weather (26 degrees)) the car stalled as she was getting on the freeway. She called me and told me it stalled and wouldn’t start again. After a minute or so (not sure how long she was stuck) the car started and drove fine – no hint of a problem. She brought the car home and took mine to work. I’ve been checking things I know to check: electrical (fuses) tight connections, fluids at proper level, GAS IN THE TANK; and so on.

I did find a 50 amp fuse that looks like an after market install of a power amplifier for the stereo. The amp is long gone, but the wire is still there. AND the 50 amp fuse is blown, oddly, it’s burned apart in two locations. That’s just weird.

Any suggestions? Any ideas? Any tips?
Thanks Joseph, I’m leaning toward replacing the filter. The car has somewhere around a hundred thousand miles, so that’s a pretty good candidate. And cheap too.

I’m a certified back yard mechanic and I can always screw anything up. But filters are not hard.

Thanks.

How to wire a subwoofer to a alpine cda-9856?

The alpine cda-9856 was already installed in the car when I bought it. I have looked at the back and there are two wire plugged into the subwoofer plugins the bottom two. These wire wrap around the car to the back where these two auxilary like plugs are with a metal ring connected to a separate wire and what looks like a eathernet plug. I have a sub from a home stereo so it has two wires with only the copper strands hanging out. How do I connect them? Please help

Looking to buy a sound system for my room/dorm?

(Theres a long explanation below, if you don’t have the patience to read it all, skip to the bottom)

I’m 16, and last year for Christmas I got a Kenwood KDC HD545U radio, and I installed it in my car and couldn’t be happier. But with college coming up and feeling a little sad that the only speaker I have is a mini-amp (http://images.insound.com/303/INS52265.jpg) in my bedroom, I want a sound system/speakers for christmas. Yes, its far away, but I’m thinking ahead. I’d like a sound system that hits bass hard, but also manages to keep the mids and highs equal too. I’d like a sound system that, when inside my dorm room in the future, hits so hard I get yelled at by the dorm manager.

But here’s the catch: this is for Christmas. Last year I skipped my birthday present and my parents were still a little sketchy about buying me the radio. But I asked for more last year, so I’m thinking I could convince my parents to get me a system ranging from $300-$400. The MAX (and I mean MAX, because I guarantee my parents won’t go any higher, unless I did some major ass-kissing, and even then…) is $500. I have no amp, no speakers, and no reciever. Nothing. Just an IPod nano, a playlist, and a shitty ass speaker (seen above).

Here’s some questions you may have, so I’ll answer them now.

a. What % of your usage will be music vs. HT (home theater)?

[100% of the usage will be for music]

b. What types of music do you listen to the most? (classical/jazz, rap, rock, etc.)

[I listen to a lot of rap, but I also love hardcore techno, rave, and dubstep. However, I probably listen to rock music just as much, so I'd like a speaker thats versatile. Right now my car speakers (OEM) do fine with rap and have great bass (Kenwood stereo makes it fine), but with rock the treble is so high that I can only have the music at half the volume i'd like it without the drums and cymbals blowing out my eardrums (adjusting the treble does nothing), so I'd like some speakers that not only hit the lows and mids, but also manage the highs so the guitar hits hard and sounds crisp.]

c. How big is your listening/viewing room?

[I'm not positive on the use of these speakers for sure, but anywhere ranging from a small dorm room to a medium-sized bedroom is my best guess. Not going to be trying to fill the gym with sound here.]

e. What kind of receiver/amp will you have?

[This was another one of my concerns. I'd like a reciever that can connect to an IPod via USB because my stereo in my car (at least) has better quality with the USB rather than the AUX cord. A CD changer isn't necessary, just IPod connectivity.

f. Do you have a subwoofer or plan to get one?

[If it's necessary I will. I have no speakers or recievers or amps right now period. I'm starting fresh.]

——————————————————————————————————————————————–
To elaborate:

*$500 MAX
*Reciever, Speakers, Wiring, etc.
*Dorm Room/Medium Sized Bedroom
*Rap, Rock, Techno, Dubstep
*Hits hard without distorting, puts out crisp and high quality guitar sound without popping my eardrums with cymbal noise
*Can be any type of speaker, floor, bookshelf, etc.
*If necessary, I could possibly get a friend to build a box, but we’ll see.

If you have any other questions, please ask and I will answer.
Carl I was looking for a different system, I’ve heard some bad reviews about Bose when it comes to louder music (with hard-hitting bass), so I was looking for reccomendations on speakers and recievers. Thanks.

Back Speakers Do not Seem To Be Working?

Just bought this 98 SUZUKI Esteem station wagon, and it comes with two impressive speakers in the trunk. What I noticed is that no sound seems to be coming out of them. I have an aftermarket “OPTIMUS” CD player installed by previous owner. Could the problem be any of the following (or anything else)?
1- Stereo is a 2 channel system –> only front speakers work. How can I fix that? Any harness etc.?
2- Some fuse is burnt out? Where can I locate that?
3- Speakers are dead? How do I test for that?
4- Anything else??
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have had a couple of car radios installed before, and would not mind trying to fix this at home before hitting my BESTBUY or RADIOSHACK for some professional help

Thanks a bunch

Life Aboard A Submarine?

Spend as much time as you can indoors during the daytime, stay out of direct sunlight. Go to work only before sunrise and come home after sunset.

Paint everything around you Sea Foam Green (Navy NSN Green, no substitutions) or Off-White to be sure you are living in a clean, happy environment. Every Friday, set an alarm on loud for a short, but hated, drill sound. Then get up and manned only with a bucket, sponge and a greeny. Clean one area over and over, even if it is already spotless.

Eat food that you can only get out of a can and requires water in order to eat it. Empty out your refrigerator and turn the temperature control down, turning the refrigerator into a freezer. Get rid of all fresh fruits and vegetables.

Repeat back everything spoken to you. Repeat back everything spoken to you.

Sit in your car for six hours at a time with the motor running. Keep hands on the wheel. But don’t leave your driveway. Log readings of your oil pressure, water temperature, speedometer and odometer every 15 minutes.

Put Lube Oil in your humidifier instead of water. Set it on high.

Buy a trash compactor; use it only once a week. Store the rest of the garbage in your bathroom.

Don’t watch movies except in the middle of the night. Have your family vote on which movie to watch, then show a different one.

Have the paperboy give you a standard Navy haircut.

Take hourly readings on your water and your electric meters. But only for a six hour period.

Sleep with your dirty laundry.

For you old mechanics, set your lawn mower in the middle of the living room while it is running. Only for six hours a day.

Invite guests but don’t prepare enough food for everyone. Serve food cold. Limit the time they sit at the table to 10 minutes.

Wake up at midnight every night and make a peanut butter sandwich, use stale bread. Better yet, make your own bread but cut 3 inch thick slices and use these. Optional: warm up some canned Ravioli or soup.

Make your family a menu for the week without knowing what food is in the cabinets.

Set your alarm clock for various times at night; adjust the volume to the maximum. When it goes off, jump out of bed, get your clothes on as fast as you can, run outside and grab the garden hose. Then go back to bed and do it all again when the alarm goes off.

Once a month take apart every appliance completely and then put them back together.

Use 18 scoops of coffee per pot and allow it to sit for 5 to six hours before drinking it.

Invite at least 85 people you really don’t like and have them stay for a couple of months.

Store your eggs in the garbage for two months and then cook a dozen each morning.

Have a fluorescent lamp installed under your coffee table and lie underneath it to read books.

Put a complicated lock on your basement door and wear the key around your neck on a special chain.

When making cakes, prop up one side of the pan when cooking. Use extra icing to level it off.

Every so often, yell “EMERGENCY DEEP!” run into the kitchen and sweep all pots, pans and dishes off of the counters onto the floor, and then yell at your wife for not having the kitchen area “Stowed for Sea!”

Put on the stereo headphones (don’t plug them in), go to the stove and stand in front of it. Say (to no one in particular) “Stove manned and ready” stay there for 3 to 4 hours. Say (once again and to no one in particular) “Stove secured”, then role up your headphone cord and put them away.

Pull out your refrigerator and clean behind it for 4 hours and then put it back when you are done. Have your wife come and check every 10 minutes with a flashlight to see how you are doing.

When doing your laundry fill it only 1/3 full, sit in front of your washing machine in your underwear and read a book or magazine you’ve read at least 5 times before in the last week. When the wash is done, only run the dryer for half the normal time.

Fix-up a shelf in your closet that will serve as your bunk for the next six months. Take the door off of the hinges and replace them with curtains. While asleep, have family members shine a flashlight in your eyes at random intervals and say either “Sign this!” or “Sorry, wrong rack!”

If you can do these. You can do just about anything!

Is there anything else I need to install a stereo (2004 Chevy Cavalier)?

I know that with the Cavaliers, you need a GM VT-GMRC-01 GM Class II Data bus Interface. If you don’t use one, the door chime will not work along with audible safety warnings. So here’s what I think I need:

1. Stereo
2. GM VT-GMRC-01 GM Class II Data bus Interface
3. Wire harness
4. Dash kit
5. Stereo antenna harness

I have a question about that stereo antenna harness. Do I need that with my model car? I have read that some companies require one along with certain cars. Is it needed? If I need anything else to install the stereo, please let me know.

What parts do I need to install a new stereo on my car?

I got a single din stereo for my car for christmas but it has a stock duo din radio. Can i still install it?

I went to Best Buy and he said that because my car is an 01 Chevy Cavalier I wouldn’t be able to install it without buying this expensive converter because apparently my car has the heating/cooling system wired in with the radio wires but I went somewhere else and they told me that I wouldn’t have to. Should I just buy a new stereo that fits in my car or will this one work?

A few questions about what I should put in my car for audio.?

Im going to go with TWO 12″ ALPINE TYPE-R 500W RMS AND 1500W MAX.

Making a custom box.

I would like speakers.
Im thinking only two of them.
I wanted the INFINITY REFERENCE 4″ 2-WAY 4022i 2-35 RMS Watts speakers. Only two of them for the front, and subs in the trunk.

A 1000 2-channel amp or a 1200w 2-channel amp for my subs.

Run the two speakers off my deck I will be getting.

1. Is this a good set-up?
2. Any better speakers?
3. Can I set this up with better amp or something for my subs?
THANKS

Custom audio for a 97 trans am?

I have just bought a 97 trans am. All black, leather racing seats, and deep tinted windows. I am hoping to put in a custom sound system in the back with a 1500 budget. That does not include labor since I will be doing the labor. Some guys have told me that dynamat layered throughout the car would increase the db and keep the metal from rattling. Also, i have installed several amps and subs in friends’ cars, but I am looking for a nice system that sounds great and looks just as great. I am figuring that a custom box made out of cardboard and fiberglass will cost a couple hundred. Any suggestions on amps, subs, batter(y/ies), tweeters?

Also, It has an alpine cd player and mtx rear speakers

can i hook my starting battery & a acsessory battery to my alternator with 2 separate cables? im just testing & looking at options to create an all out custom car audio system thats unique. i want to go all out as far as looks go. custom boxes, plexie glass over amps, fans, lights, set screw terminals, 3 batteries, capacitors, 4/0 gauge wires, tons of bells & whistles. i have all this & more but i want to hook it up in a totally uncommon fashion. i have lots of ideas but need to know if some of them are going to work so can i hook my amp to my alternator? can i hook 2 separate batteries to my alternator?
