    Noise supressors

    I got my Alpine 2554 amp installed at a local Car audio shop. I'm using it just to power my full range speakers, no subs or anything. I'm using the stock radio with line out converters, one of which is situated right behind the glovebox. Problem is I can hear my engine through the speakers...

    Few Qs about Alpine 3554 amp.

    I just got an awesome score from a friend of my brother's, who just bought a used car that had an alpine 3554 amp in it. He allready had an amp, subs and the such so I got it off of him for 40$! The good news: 50W RMS x 4, exactly what I wanted, much cheaper than I expected! The bad news...

    Splitting amp channels

    I want more power in my system, but I don't really have the cash to pay for a good quality 4 channel amp. I have Pionner 3 way 6x8s in the front and more or less the same (6x9) in the back. For my budget (200$ canadian or so), I could swing a budget 4 channel amp or a good 2 channel amp...

    Just installed Pioneer 3way 6x8, need advice!

    I just installed a pair of Pioneer 3 way 6x8s I got real cheap because of an "open box" discount :D Not really the pair I was after but definetly satisfied with the outcome, very clear high and mids, and the bass is much smoother than with the stock speakers. I don't want to invest a lot of...

    Options for a Protege

    After about 2 months of serious thinking and consideration, and many many test drives, I've decided to get a Protege ES at the end of the month! I have a small concern about the stereo though... I currently have Pionner 2 channel 6x9s in my Jetta. The rear speakers look to be about the same...
