    speakers or sub and amp for 2007 mazda 3 hatch?

    I haven't tried one myself but I've heard that the Bazooka boom tubes are pretty decent if space is an issue. Just in case you haven't come across them before they're an amp/sub combo so if you're wanting to stick with the stock deck as well you''ll only need one of the line drivers for extra...

    Quantum Amps

    With those options, for my neighbors but more so for me. But I'm also planning on running multiple batteries (possibly relocating the primary to the trunk), upgrading all the wiring, adding more speakers and so on so forth. So I'll be running multiple amps, but for a sub I'd like to have at...

    Quantum Amps

    I've spent about a year now piecing together(window shopping) the system I'm going to be building when I'm out of debt. I don't plan on cutting any corners on quality but I won't complain if I can save a few dollars and get quality cheaper. I'd love to run some Rockford amps but they're a little...

    Quantum Amps

    Quantum Amps

    Anyone have any experiences with them, good or bad? They have a 2250rms at 1ohm on ebay for around $250 so just wondering if it'd be worth my time or to not bother with them. Thanks.

    how to pick a Amp help

    Look at the stickied Audio FAQ, 1sty explained it quite nicely and has diagrams. Edit: I don't know where you're planning on buying from but onlinecarstereo.com has those p3's for $129 each and I found some Alpine type R's for $109-$125 which are pushing a bit more power rms. Haven't heard...

    HU pics???

    That is a nice setup. Did you re-run the speaker wires to run down to the hu and how was it to get setup?

    how to pick a Amp help

    Dear god yes, over power is more like it. While Rockford is good in under rating their amps I don't know what their ratings are like on their subs. But those subs are rated for 400 rms not 800. 800 is what it will achieve a millisecond before it cooks itself. A 1500 rms amp would do the trick...

    big 3 help..as well as electrical probs

    I'd give you a route for the Big 3 if I had my protege for more then 2 days. You should be able to follow the the stock lead though, by the alt being at the back of the motor that will more then likely involve some under-car adventures. Also if possible shorten the alt-batt cable. What gauge are...

    Power Drains While the Car is off. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    To add onto what dhodory said, make sure to clean the terminals as well and check for any corrosion on the other ends. I've also seen this happen for corroded leads to the starter after the battery leads were cleaned.

    Full exhaust

    This makes me ok with switching from an sbc. Can't wait to get my exhaust and intake done to at least open the engine up some and get some better sound.

    OEM Sirius Unit vs. Off the shelf type

    The one thing I liked the aftermarket Sirius radio over the OEM one is that you can save more favorite channels, on mine I had 3 sets of 6 I believe. On the Ford Edge's Sync it only had the option for 6. Other then that if you have a good stock deck with built in Sirius it will look cleaner when...
