I agree with everyone else. First turn down the bass boost on the amp, and if it is still boomy, then you may need a smaller sealed box for that sub to get the Qtc down. Here is a Qtc calculator if you know the sub's paramteres: http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=30 As for a good...

I have the eDi component set http://www.edesignaudio.com/edi.htm and the 6.5" driver has a mounting depth of 2.75 inches and I don't have a problem on my '02. I did however make an adapter to fit it in the 6x8 location, and the adapter adds another 1/2" worth of spacing. The taper on the...

Your more than welcome. With the versitility in wiring configurations with dual voice coil subs, it is pretty much driving the single voice coil design out of the market. With two dual 2 ohm voice coil subs you would have the option of wiring them up for an overall resistance of 8, 2, or 1/2...

Then you can get two subs with dual 2 ohm voice coils and wire the voice coils on each sub in series for an 4 ohm load on each sub. Then just wire your two 4 ohm subs in parrellel for a 2 ohm load.

Just get a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub and wire the voice coils in series to get a 4 ohm load. Here's one at SoundDomain http://www.cardomain.com/item/KIC04S12L72 It says that it is rated at 750 watts RMS.

I agree with B94Sport. Go with the KnuKonceptz cables. They are not only great cables, but you can't beat the price. KnuKonceptz's cables are the only ones I use anymore. Visit their web site at http://www.KnuKonceptz.com

I was going to mount the amps along the back of the seats, but I've found that I need to be able to fold the seats flat to haul stuff in the back (I miss my F150 that I sold to get the Ex.). So having the amps down in the cargo area, I can still fold my seats down and throw in some 2x4's or a...

I finally finished my stereo install in my 2002 Ex. after 3 months of working on it (with a new baby, dad doesn't have much free time :) ). Having a baby means that I wanted to be able to keep as much space in the back of my Ex. for the trips we take back home to see relatives (we live 500...

I bet with most setups you won't even notice a difference because the change is so small. I remember back about 5 years ago I had bought a Boston 12.5LF sub, and through together a box that was almost a perfect cube shape for it and put it in my car (replaced a Kicker Solobaric). I ended up...

Sub box volume is very important, but box shape is also. From the research I've done, I've found that a cube is the worst shape for a sub box, due to standing waves that can form inside the box at certain frequancies (thus causing cancelation at those frequancies). I'm only talking about...

icu400, I did a quick search on Thiele-Small Parameters and this is what I came up with. I'm not sure if it's acurate or not, so take it for what it's worth. B Magnetic flux density in gap, in Tesla-meters (TM) BL The magnetic strength of the motor structure. C Propagation velocity...

If you're looking for something that fits in a very small box, and is supposed to have very good sound quality, you might want to check out the eD 11Kv2. Right now they have a pre order going on for $80 per sub (scheduled to start shipping sub the first part of July). They are calling out a...

Here in centrall Illinois the local radio stations are doing the same thing. They are running about a 60 second ad with a bunch of people saying how satellite radio is bad, and that most people drop it right after they get it because they don't like it.

What's wrong with JVC? Over the past 4 years I've had a three of them in three different vehicles and have absolutely loved them. Maybe it's just the middle of the line ones that are bad. Two of the decks were their upper end models. The third is a middle of the road one, which isn't...

eD is having a pre-order sale on there new V2 subs. They won't be shipping until the first part of July, but if you can wait that long the pre-order savings are pretty big. I personally haven't heard the old eD's, but everyone I've talked to say they are great subs. I don't know of anyone...

The last three head units I've run in the past few years have been JVC and in my opinion JVC has the best features for the $ right now (of course I've only run there upper end models). I just bought my last head unit a few months ago, and was reasearching everything from Alpine, Clarion...

It doesn't have to be those particular ones, just something like it. I like the look of the plastic brackets a lot better than a couple of straps screwed down over the cap as a way of securing it.

expo5.0, do you sell the mounting brackets separately? I've been looking for a nice set of brackets for a .5 farad cap I bought a bit ago.

Yeah, I took it in last week, and they still have it. The dealership can get it to reproduce the problem when cold, but they haven't figured out why it's doing it. My job is testing transmissions, but they are trannys on mining equipment, not little automotive transmissions. I don't know a...

Check out this thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98246 It should answer your question.

It's been pretty cold here for the last week (highs in the single digits). Two times this week I've driven to work and the X is fine (I have remote start and let it warm up in the morning). About 9 hours later after I come out of work I jump in it and let it warm up for a minute or two and...

Well, I got the stereo install kit from Crutchfields, but I'm sure you can get the wiring harness from Best Buy or Circuit City. The harness I have is a Metra harness, but there is no part # on it so I can't help you there. Here is a link with a picture of the harness from Crutchfield's web...

The best advice I have for you is to try to use something with a wide blade. The first spot I pryed on bent the back edge of the plasic trim a little, but the trim is so deep that once it was pressed back in the dash you couldn't even tell where the mark on the back edge was. I was kind of...

I don't know if it's just me, but the picture of the box isn't showing up.

The black trim piece around the radio with the climate contol knobs just pops off. There are 6 clips that hold it on. However, the clips are extreamly tight, so it takes a lot of pulling or prying. I had a pair of short pry bars (4" and 6") that I stuck in any pryed out with carefully, just...
