    03 X Stereo build Pics

    Update on the boostcaps. They work amazingly well!! down to just the battery under the hood and those caps can keep my voltage from dipping down. anyone with a system over 1000 watts should look into getting one of them before anything else.

    04 system build

    Anybody done dual alts on a 4.0L?

    I looked for a while on the internet about it and couldn't find anything. I wanted to do it also. Wound up just getting a 200 amp alternator.

    Alternative Sound Deadening.

    FYI I've heard that after a while on very hot days the peal and seal will come off. Might want to check after the summer and see if it's still on.

    Deadening Question

    05 Explorer and aftermarket Head/Factory Rear DVD

    With not knowing anything about the rear dvd system my guess is that first you need a stereo with a auxiliary input. second you need to play around with the wires to find the audio output channels from the dvd system to hook up to the auxiliary input rca connections of the stereo.

    Going crazy with calculations!!!!

    Capacitors help keep a stable voltage and take some of the strain off the alternator with constant voltage swings that a amplifier will deliver unlike a blower motor that is constant. Capacitors are not going to give you any additional amps like a battery or a bigger alternator will. It just...
