I've had my 53" Panasonic widescreen for about a year and a half now. Was used just for dvd up until about a week ago when I finally got HD via Dish Network. I've been to the panny.tv site and learned how to tweak my set. I've eyeballed my grayscale, fixed my geometry, fix my convergance...

I've been out of the home theater loop for damn near this entire year. My interest has started to peak again and I'm really wanting to buy an HD receiver. I have a 53" Panasonic Widescreen. No DVI/HDCP input. I have no idea what's out there. I'm looking in the $500-$600 price range. What's...

Arghh, turns out it was my component cables. Looks like I was freaking out for nothing.

Michael, I've had the pop before. I used the screen pots to fix it last time and it worked great. Tried that this time and I couldn't find a happy medium with the green and blue. If I get my grayscale looking 'right' to my eye the blue will be green. If I get my blue to look blue it messes up...

Tv was doing great for awhile, no problems at all. Then all of a sudden I noticed something was very wrong. After throwing in Avia, it turns out my blues are now green. Checking the grayscale revealed nothing. Looked perfect. Only when looking at the color bars (and when watching movies...

Peel and Seal is available at Lowe's for pretty cheap. I've read some good things about it.

Those are 6.5" Image Dynamics IDQ midbasses in the doors. Was going to try and do an AP enclosure for them, but not enough space, so IB they remain. I just educate my passengers about the kickpanels. Even with the snow we've had recently, I've had no problems. Just gotta be a little careful.

Oops

I'd have to disagree and say to stay away from Kenwood amps. Also, Rockford amps are very high-priced. You can do a lot better for the money. If he's looking for a good component set for up front, I'd recommend Image Dynamics, or maybe some Digital Designs 6.5s paired with some Vifa tweets...

If he's gonna go even bigger, then a high-ouput alt is a must. When amps start starving for current, they can blow, and it's also not healthy for the car. A few months back I had two wires come loose on my alternator and ended up blowing an amp that way. Live and learn I guess.

I think you'd be safe with 400-500 RMS a piece on them. Go with a 1k watt Class D amp and you should be set.

Ported is the only way to go, unless space is a concern. I'll never go back to sealed. Don't think you can't get good SQ out of a ported box either.

Yes, I think so. I got away with around 800 watts or so on a 60amp alt. That was just a Class D sub amp though. Give her a shot.:emoji_thumbsup:

Not changing the wiring scheme. Usually the stock wires of those 3 are very small. It's not wise to run 1k watts through an 8ga. or smaller wire.
