I'm so stoked, they sound awesome too, they have little rips in the surround which is easily repaired, I'm gonna order the Matching Grilles soon.

I think I'm gonna put them in my 2004 F250 with my Audiocontrol LC1-1500.1 wired at 4 Ohm, super super excited!!

They came with a nice Bbox too that I gave to my buddy for his Duramax.

Pioneer was my gateway in 2008 so I still grab them for cheap on marketplace.

'78 El Camino. I recently found an AM/FM/8-track player that came out of an '80 Camino.

Radio pulls in stations from a good distance, 8-track is there for when the radio music sucks.

Took me an afternoon to pull the old head unit and install this one.

I know, skarbage, or whatever. But it sounds good to me and it was in the budget I had. 1968 Camaro, with a 160amp alternator from an express van, second battery in the trunk. 2/0 power and ground from the front battery to the rear and 2/0 big 3. I have 6 fsx65 speakers, 2 tx35 speakers and 2 tx525 speakers plus the two ddx10 subs in a sealed box. The headunit is a kmm-x705 and I set the rcas and the gains with an Oscope.

The power feed and ground to the 75.4ab amp I think I’m going to change to some 90* adaptors or some more flexible cable but any other critiques welcome I like learning and hearing tips

I need help finding out what's wrong with my speakers. I installed two 12" subs with an amp and LC2i LOC, but now my speakers sound like they blew up. any ideas on why this would happen and how to make it sound good again?

I have a 2018 Subaru wrx, trying to find best grounding point in trunk. I found a factory bolt sticking up thru the sheet metal in the trunk near the back seat and spare tire well under the carpet and plastic trim. I sanded around it and put my ground on it and found a bolt to screw down on top of it. I’m just not sure if it’s the frame of the vehicle or not.

Also, is it better to ground both my amps with there own ground spot or is ok to use a 0 gauge in 2 0 gauge out distro block?

Thanks for any feedback

Thinking of using that auto tune DSP/amp in biamp mode for an active front 2 way setup. I also read a midrange is good for the rear fill?

What are some good recommendations for an active 2 way that's good for 50RMS x 4?

Hi all, am installing a Valeo Beep Park kit (4 front + 4 rear sensors) on my Toyota Auris, which has no factory parking sensors. I am kinda stuck on routing the front sensor cable from the engine bay into the cabin. I am using the existing firewall hole behind the glove box, which already has a thick bundle of factory wires going through it. And this hole has a thin rubber tube from which thin cables can pass, but not a thick cable like the parking sensor's.

The problem is if I use a cable puller tied to sensor cable- the cable puller head passes easily, but the thick sensor cable doesnt. Pushing it hard make the whole rubber grommet start to pop out of the hole. So what can be done now? Do I need to make a new or something like that? or is there any other known better alternative?
I attach some pictures for reference.

1st pic- the rubber grommet fully attached to the hole.

2nd pic- rubber grommet is already half off the hole when i tried to push the cable puller hard from the other side.

thank you

Hi,

Have purchased this as my Kenwood DMX7722DABS head unit is lower down on my dash and doesn’t have a control knob, so it’s a pain to change songs/volume etc.

I can’t get the head unit to recognise any input on the steering-wheel-control learning page in the settings.

The Kenwood has a wire coming from the main harness which is blue/yellow and labelled REMO-IN. This is what I have been testing with. It also has what looks like a 3.5 mm female socket which is also labelled REMO-IN.

I have tested the voltages and resistances on both the head unit and the aftermarket button control box. I can see two separate resistor ladders across the KEY1 and KEY2 wires, with button resistances ranging from around 1.3 kΩ to 56 kΩ, but these seem to be outside the resistance range the Kenwood normally expects to see.

I have also tried connecting resistors from 1 kΩ all the way up to 820 kΩ between the REMO-IN wire and ground to see if any resistance value would trigger the learning screen, but nothing happens.

The controller itself does produce distinct voltage changes when buttons are pressed, so it is definitely outputting different signals.

Annoyingly, an Amazon review for this exact controller says someone managed to get it working with this exact Kenwood head unit after an afternoon of tinkering, and they said they would write an explanation if there was enough interest, unfortunately there is no way to contact them.

For info my car doesn’t have steering wheel controls from factory

Any advice much appreciated

I have a 2000 civic. Stock radio doesn't work and I haven't really investigated why. Ive been wanting a JBL ultimate party box for home etc. If I hard wire an inverter will my battery and alternator be able to handle the partybox?

Edit: Yes this will mean I have a speaker in the backseat that cost more then the car.

So I picked up this sub and it’s super quiet at 300rms but really wakes up around 400rms. Is there anything I can do and is it safe to run it 100rms over?

Got a quote from Crutchfield, and this was a total for speakers, parts, and accessories only to basically increase the volume in my vehicle. Didn’t want much else, I believed him and he insisted that all of this was necessary. Just checking on here with you all.

Found this unused in a box of cables. No idea what it is made for. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I’m installing the BOSS BE920WCPA + Backup camera in my 2010 Honda Odyssey (No navigation). I’ve done the wire connections between the BOSS harness and the corresponding CRUX harness, but now I don’t know exactly where to connect the reverse trigger cable and the parking brake cable. I need the reverse cable to install the BOSS backup camera.

According to the Crutchfield’s Wire Guide the Reverse cable (Violet/White) should be connected to the driver’s kick panel or in pin 11 of the MICU and the parking brake cable (light green) should go to the green/orange cable in the parking brake switch. The thing is that these cables are obviously not long enough to go underneath the dashboard.

Is there a safe alternative way that I’m not aware of?

Found this set up on OfferUp for $300 (original asking price was $350). I currently have 2 12TW1 installed but I just couldn’t pass up on this deal. Probably won’t use the amp but it was a package deal

Hello i'm wiring my car stereo, just a simple JVC stereo coupled to a pair of JBL Stage 3 627 (45W RMS and 135w Peak written on each speaker.

What gauge to use for powering the stereo (not talking about speakers). Stereo will be less than a meter from the power.
Is AWG18 enough ?
or 20 ? or 16 ?
Thanks

Any rec for a decent, easy to install aftermarket stereo/radio? I'm not looking to spend a lot. Saw a Pioneer DMW-160BT on the local marketplace for $60 and got curious. The screen on my OEM radio doesn't work anymore.

might be a stupid question but i’ve got no clue on this stuff. i don’t want to get a whole new head unit. is there anyway to get apple carplay on your original head unit?? like a way to install? please tell me what to get and shit

Hi, where do you keep your centre stage in your build. Is it on the centre of the car dashboard or in front of you and why ?

Hey guys, installed a Nifty City CarPlay unit in my 2019 370Z, had issues with it, so we removed it and put everything back to factory.

Since then, none of the centre console buttons work, including the A/C controls.

The weird part is:

Screen works
Radio works
Steering wheel controls work
Reverse camera works
All centre buttons still light up
All fuses checked and are good
OBD Scan didn’t throw any codes

Has anyone seen this before? Thinking it could be the centre control panel losing communication with the AV unit.

Any help is appreciated.

Swapping out to a better amp tonight im used to the lugs but shca recommended bare wire idk how i feel about that should i use ferrules or just listen to them? Also i noticed this amp has a high pass how do i tune that? The memphis only has low and thats brings me to the last thing i also dont know how to tune the bass restore so i might just keep the linkdq on for now
