    Head units without flashing lights and tiny buttons?

    Basic Pioneers are good and all Eclipse are good. I run a 8443 and its the best on SQ, but the buttons do take a little bit of time to get used to cause it lets you do alot of customizing.

    Advice needed

    Ismar, The HU is definitely a thing to be changed out but depending on what your immediate needs are you can put it off. If you just want some low end to hold you over, get the sub/amp. The HU will do the most change for your internal speakers. If i were you i'd get an ED 13kv.2 for around...

    Factory System

    o i rated the max RMS for speakers, as far as decks go, look no farther than 15RMS for a factory. 30-40RMS is a high rating from a HU, and if you have a add-on amp i'd say 25RMS and thats about it. If you get aftermarket speakers to run off the HU coaxials are all you'll be able to run, no...

    stock honda tweeter question

    is there anything coming out of your driver tweet? Check it at the connection for the tweet as it may have come loose on one end and check the amp. Where's your tweet located at? I forget in an Acccord, in the door or the sail. They're all pretty easy to take off since they usually have one...

    In-Dash Navigation Suggestions

    look into a Eclipse AVN2454, is expensive but probably the better NAV HU out there.

    Factory System

    just look at Infinitys lowest end speakers and thats a rough guess, usually a little lower than them but i'd say 75RMS max for larger speakers and 50RMS for 5.25s and say 20RMS max for tweets.

    Need some car stereo advice, especially about speakers (long)

    yeah thats the one 8250 i believe. Its not much in terms of features but thats why its designed for larger setups. Most people get it for the DACs and build and then buy an AC DQS or the RF EPX2 with upgrade chip for EQ features. I believe the Denon model will not work in the US only the RF one...

    Need car alarm recommendations under $300.00 +/-

    ask your shop to mix and match if they can. Buy a Audiovox Prestige unit and a DEI brain. I got mine for 150$ installed. It has keyless entry for the doors, nice loud alarm, and if you want you can buy the actuator for a trunk release(if your trunk doesn't already have one). I think it'll be...

    Need some car stereo advice, especially about speakers (long)

    yeah sounddomain had released some of them a month or two ago. They are very nice if you're going to get a nice install. Won't really do much for you if you're going for a small setup. I'd get CDT before any company. I have all hard dome, i think its titanium, tweets and they are better than...

    Need some car stereo advice, especially about speakers (long)

    ok, well i'd say ditch the HU, i know its not the RF HU's like Denon now has but can't remember if it was JVC who was building there's before. I'd replace that with a new HU, Pioneer or Eclipse. Since you have some EQ piece already you don't need to buy a high end HU, could get the Eclipse 24...

    cheap but decent speakers?

    Boston Acoustic 6x9s were better IMO. Also try Polk Audio, the Momo line is very nice and can take a pretty good beating.

    rear deck baffle idea

    they should not have a problem but if you're that worried work on getting a full front stage and get rid of the rear speakers.

    opinions on system??

    the LP-1 remote is wired in between the crossover and the tweet. You just need to find a place on the dash to mount it in or some place to get access to it.

    rear deck baffle idea

    unless you get something to make an enclosure for the 6x9 it won't really work. You'll need to seal the entire 6x9 but in doing so you need to make sure its the right enclosure size and thats its solid like a sub box. Plastic won't really do any good for it and polyfill won't stop the SPL from...

    opinions on system??

    wow you got hooked up. I suggest spending 20-25$ to get an LP-1 CDT tweet remote which will greatly improve the SQ for your components. This allows you to cnotrol the sound of the tweets ensuring they don't overpower everything when the volume is turned up. I bought them for like 20-25$ a piece...

    cross over

    well crossovers are a necessity to good SQ but people who just dabble in it don't ever reap the benefits. Don't get coaxials for your fronts at all. Get components sets up front to do a couple things. One) having tweets that are seperate from the woofer allow the woofer to play better and also...

    rear deck baffle idea

    dude unless you 6x9s are the cheapest things ever, your sub didn't blow it. Considering i used Polk 6x9s and got 140.7db in my trunk from my subs on 700RMS to each ED sub and my 6x9s didn't blow then yours off Infinity subs and that low amt of power you're using isn't the problem. There's...

    opinions on system??

    ditch the Sony and look to Pioneer if you're looking at that price range. If you want to go good SQ go find Alpine or better yet Eclipse. The RF's are ok but not great. Get CDT speakers all around. If you want i can give you an email for a dealer who'll get you good prices on them( i bought CDT...

    rear deck baffle idea

    you won't blow your 6x9s from the pressure of your subs i doubt theres that much. Mine aren't even effected by my subs and my subs are way better than the Infinity perfects(i've used them before). You can seal them but make sure you have the right internal volume if you do. I'd say do fiberglass...

    Sirius or XM

    either one is good, alot depends on what you like to listen to, but you pay for either one.

    Pioneer DEH-P4600MP or JVC KDG300?

    4600 is a nice mid level deck. Very solid all round performer. JVC's are more flash than anything. Only JVC i would consider is the Arsenal series but then again i'd get Eclipse before either.

    Need an amp/sub recommendation

    buy ED K or O series, either get the last model flat cones used or wait for the V.2 to come out. Runs from 150-250$ depending on whether its used flatcones or V.2. Also a TCSounds sub can be bought from some of the guys on ICIXSOUND.com As far as amps go a Hifonics is good, might want to...

    cheap but decent speakers?

    if you want CDT i can give you an email for a guy who gets my CDT stuff. If you want coaxials i believe he has/had a good sale on some CL series. OK here's his contacts Email - [email protected] AIM - djdilliodon ...he's a good seller. i got great prices on my stuff. I bought the...

    Advice for novice...do I need an amp?

    no pioneer doesn't even do 25x4....it does about 17-20RMS depending on which series it is. Its the 2300 so i'd say 17-18RMS per channel.

    overall new car audio system

    thats a pretty hard question about the explorer. I wouldn't suggest keeping the stock radio. Maybe just get 4 good high end coaxials.

    For all you techheads, please help

    i really would like to find a place that states the specs for each little component, like what grade is a component and all. because power is power, no questio on that, but components used can change alot or to find actual power potential.

    Dashboard DVD Player blamed for Murder

    Its pretty stupid for drivers to be watching a DVD while driving. Its dumb to be shaving or putting on makeup too. These things take the focus off the road and onto the screen or the mirror. Talking on a cell phone isn't that bad as long as they aren't tryig something with the other hand too...

    For all you techheads, please help

    get Eclipse, period. Pioneer have more flash and are good, but no one complains about Eclipse. Get like a 54 series. They're really good. Even Eclipse lower end, 34 series, is better than most mid level.
