    Best 10 inch subwoofers

    Thanks I appreciate your help and everyone else's input on this. I also wanted to know if it is as simple as taking out the RF's and placing the new subs in it's place. If so, that sounds like something I could do myself.

    Well you didn't really ask for goals but I have stated them before. I want something that has more kick, power, bass quality than the Rockford's. Do any of the sub's you mentioned provide that?

    Simple Car stereo question

    I have two 10" subs w/ amp and an Alpine head unit. I wanted to know the best way about getting the best quality sound/bass from this setup. Do I turn the levels up more on my amp and turn the bass levels down to virtually zero on my head unit? What do any of you recommend for a good quality...

    Head Unit/CD Changer problems

    I had my factory head unit and speakers replaced with an Alpine Head Unit to go along with my Alpine 6 disc changer. I had an FM modulator that played/controlled the CD's in the CD changer.

    Head Unit question?

    This question is for a friend of mine. I couldn't answer her question so I thought I would get it from the experts on this website. Can you buy a head unit that doesn't require the antenna to function and go up and down.

    Car Stereo Help - Advice needed

    I think I have decided on what kind of system I will get for my car. I am going to try the Basslink sub/amp and a Alpine Head Unit with CD Changer controls. I think that gets rid of having to use an FM Modulator. Ken Wong, you mentioned that Circuit City is bad at installation. Do you have...
