    4 Channel amp to door and rear speakers.

    subwoofers frequencies work by pressuring air so for the most part it doesn't matter where the hell you point them, rather the rear speakers are out or not. You may not even notice a difference with the rears out or you may not like it but I am a fan of trying just about anything so long as its...

    4 Channel amp to door and rear speakers.

    the Sony is 60x4 and that is even exaggerated. Real world it is probably closer to 45 watts rms, which isn't bad at all. I dont like rear speaker simply because I can not tolerate sound coming from behind me. I want it up front and nice and high, rear speakers screw that up. As far as longevity...

    4 Channel amp to door and rear speakers.

    an amp to 6x9s is not going ot add much bass. if you want to get more bass and have sophistication then you should pursue the 4 channel amplifier route, however you should be powering the front speakers and a 10" subwoofer in a sealed box with that amplifier. Using it the way I describe, that...

    Keep the car or sell it.

    Looks like I may be boned. I went to the local Acura dealer where my family is rather good friends with one of the sales guys as we have known him for years. He looked up the wife's G5 and by KBB the damn thing is only worth about $5800, I own $5000. NADA was saying over $7000 so now even the TL...

    Keep the car or sell it.

    This POS (peice of s***) G5 of my wife's is starting to piss me off. Do I keep it or trade it in? I seems to want to cripple me financially or something. The Key less entry has never worked and after replacing the battery the GM dealers around me said we voided the warranty by changing the...

    2010 3 Speakers

    A really good shop can tell you where the DSP is by either experience o by RTA-ing the car. This allows someone to see what parts of the signal are artificially boosted or cut. You test it at the head unit outputs and then at the amp outputs. I could tell as well if someone wants to bring there...

    Fixing your MAZDASPEED3 BOSE Sound System

    I didnt say the speakers "knows" what its getting. Although all speakers do self equalize, if you consider roll off or Fr Response self equalization, not to mention the impedance curve. What I said: "Any car with this many speakers often uses internal digital sound processing (DSP) to limit the...

    Fixing your MAZDASPEED3 BOSE Sound System

    A few things. 1. a capacitor limits low frequencies, creates a high pass crossover when in series 2. an inductor limits high frequencies, creates a low pass crossover when in series 3. either of them attenuates at -6dB/octive, this is a first order crossover. 4. Crossover caluclator...

    2010 3 Speakers

    I wouldn't bother being the test dummy on this one. From that list of speakers, the car is likely to have some pretty heavy customized sound controls in the head unit (the radio). This customized sound (DSP digital sound processing) is not something you can bypass or even adjust. It is...

    Jobs?

    Try looking for audio video technician. This is a rather unknown area so there is still some demand in it. Sometimes construction experience is a plus for an entry level technician. Also play up on a resume that you know and understand both process, attention to detail, and the importance of a...

    Online car audio retailer review

    Because JL lost the nations largest retailer of JL gear which was the Tweeter group. Also I think JL is a decent fit with crutchfield as they have by far the most support personnel of any online retailer and they only sell at MAP.

    Bank of America Changinge Fixed Rate to Variable Rate!

    I though tall credit cards were "variable" as the rate is dictated by the issuing company and can change at any time. Even though they pretend it only changes based on the "prime rate" and our credit. Also, neither Discover or Chase have raised my rates at all so they are the cards I use. Nor...
