How damaging / dangerous is it to mount an amp to the side of a sub woofer enclosure (assuming there is room for the amp to breathe)? Will it affect performance any more than mounting a few feet away?

Be wary of using the iPOD headphone jack. It's SQ is not nearly as good as the line out jack. See URL: http://members.brabant.chello.nl/~m.heijligers/ipod/Performance/measurements.html.

Which Sub Controls - Headunit or Amp? Should I be using the subwoofer EQ / Crossover controls: on my Alpine CDA-9830 HU OR on my Kenwood amp (bridged to a single 10")? Currently, I am using the amp controls, (just gain and 80Hz crossover).

Lasso A ground loop is a condition when an electrical system is connected through more than one way to the electrical ground. To prevent ground loops, all signal grounds need to go to one common point. When two grounding points cannot be avoided, one side must isolate the signal and...

You Get what you Pay for... I understand your plight - we've all be there. I assume you are talking Bazooka Tubes? I also assume you are talking Amplified Bazooka Tubes? Keep in mind that the cone material will probably be paper and the surround will be foam (these are usually the materials...

Crutchfield Revisited I'm surprised that Cruthfield is not mentioned more often on this site. I understand that they only carry "mid-level" electronics but that is a perfect match for many of the members of this site and their install skill level it seems. I recently installed an existing HU...

G- Round Check your ground connection, try re - connecting at another location. You may be creating a ground loop which is manifesting in your speakers.

Anyone have a diagram or can decipher the stock spare tire sub wiring harness for a '03 Prot5? I know this thread has been floating around but no one has asked this question. Thanks Y'all.

Just broke in my 03 Prot5 and want opinons on replacing the front door stocks with coax's while LEAVING IN the stock tweeters in the sail panel...I wasn't happy with them by themselves and am not ready to upgrade to components. Is there anything I need to consider besides cranking down the...
