he's thinking about upgrading to the alpine 9886. My DEHP5800MP had an integrated SW button, it had more equalizer options. I could adjust three frequencies, adjust the frequency of each of those (3 options), then it had bass and treble and you could adjust the frequencies for each of those. Can't f...

okay, will do. Have 75A worth of fuses across my amps and no visible dimming of the lights The Eclipse 3100 has terrible adjustability from what Iv'e seen so far. I need to read the manual so that I can find some other controls. The manual is like a book yet it has fewer controls than my dehp5800mp ...

Nice, wish I could afford to even just do the doors on my riviera. They're like over 3 feet long though, plus I don't know how well it works if the speakers don't even mount to the door.My friend was wondering about alternators as well. We don't know if he'll need one yet, but just in case, where's ...

yeah, and with a 50x4 amp you wouldn't need to upgrade the alt or anything.

eh, not really lol, looking for a fastback.What's the best spot to run the power wire through the firewall?Also, best spot to run wires to the back.

8" MB Quart sub $55...1/2" MDF, screws, and caulk to build the .5ft^3 box ~$20...nice cadence amp to power the sub $100. Then all you need is wiring. That right there would sound a LOT better than the stock sub, and would cost about the same when all is said and done.I think all sublime is...

ah, gotcha. Well I knew that you needed a fuse at each link (by battery, where power splits, and at amps) just figured it needed to be the same as the amps.Yeah, I've heard some good things about the Phoenix Gold RSD Line, and maybe I should just go with them and a sundown or cadence amp. I was thin...

sorry, lot of pics, lol.Are you on caraudioforum.com?

My bad, it's a mini anl fuse holder. It came with a 120a, but we need to replace it with an 80a. I don't know why I was thinking it was the glass type.We thought about upgrading the alternator and the wiring, but I didn't think the two amps would be enough to sap the alternator. His car is bone stoc...

ah, is it any constellation if it's a 0 gauge kit and we're putting a smaller fuse in it? You think it might be able to withstand the loads better?With the MDF, if it does fall apart, I'll just make something like what you suggested. The way it's setup you could probably fit some decent size speaker...

Yeah, it's an AGU fuse holder. I was thinking the MDF would be fine right there, the door panel is pretty sealed. I know most cars put a barier in behind the speaker to keep water and everything from hitting it, but this one had nothing, so I figured it would be fairly dry down there, especially sin...

here's a pic of the mdf baffle, and one of the speakers installed. My friend wanted a stock install, so I went with component CDT's with a center mount tweeter. The cross over is stuck to the inside of the door with 3M industrial double sided tape.

We got a knuconceptz wiring kit. We got the front speakers installed today (CDT's). We were going to put deadener in but we were on a budget, so maybe another time. Rather than cutting the old speaker apart to mount the new ones, we built some baffles out of 1/2" MDF. It doesn't look bad, and t...

Okay, so I'm installing front door speakers in my friends 09 vibe. He has the manual windows, and I read an older write up where you have to take the clip off the handle. I've looked and can't seem to find where the clip is on the handle. Do you have to pry it out a little to get to it?!? There's a ...

so, this harness would work if I didn't want to keep on-star? http://www.sonicelectronix.com...oogle It says to keep on-star, but it's the same number you listed to not retain on-star. $55 isn't bad.

Thanks, yeah, I've done a few installs, but the newest car was a 97 riviera, lol. The only problems I ever had were with the riviera, I lost all of my steering wheel controls putting in the new stereo. I knew I'd lose the ones that pertained to the stereo, but GM was stupid and had the HVAC controls...

Yeah, all I need is rear speaker wires (not replacing those speakers and running old ones off head unit), power, acc, remote, ground. I think that's it. dim would just be a plus. I just don't want to mess anything up if something still needs to be connected that's integrated. I've been reading about...

My friend bought a base model 09 vibe. The only option is A/C. His free XM radio is over and he wanted me to install a new system for him. I had him get 2 cadence amps, some CDT components, an eclipse head unit, and an MB Quart sub. When he got the dash install kit he got one without a wiring harnes...
