you shouldn't rely on the clipping light to know when to turn things down. i dont see the point to using the dmm to set gains either. why not learn to set them by ear?

Looked into that part number and it says its from a 2005-2006 Ford GT. Now Is that a mustang GT or an actual GT? Either way do you think theses are good speakers? they're 55 dollar speakers. how good do you want them to be? haha it seem some ppl on other sites are picking them up but no real reviews or comparison yet. maybe in a few days some will give their impressions. or pick some up and tell us about them? i did some more research and found this http://www.motoringinvestments.com/AC201.htm, check out the stock speakers pictured about 2/3 to 3/4 the way down the page... looks like the aura's but under the mcintosh name? if you look at the pictures on partsexpress, the magnet has a cover over it. i think, chances are aura built these speakers for mcintosh and/or rebranded them.

it seems they were used in some ford vehicles at least this 8ohm version was..

if you need a cheap set, might be worth a try. not much info out there but they should be pretty "decent" compared to anything in the price range.

The MJ18 bigger than the JL 18? Don't know about SD, but it can move a little further. t/s specs if you're curious http://audiojunkies.com/forum/subwoofers/1046-mj-18-a.html http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/15_18W6_BDS.pdf Icon 18 will be ready shortly. Are you going to be offering them for $99+ shipping and will they work in 2 cubes sealed? Nope, heck maybe I need one of these JL's. Should sell my MJ18 eventually. an icon 18 would be fantastic, im very jealous of the icon 12 in my bro's car. unfortunately i wont have money for a new sub for quite awhile i could redo my baffle to fit a 2nd mj18

I don't know why, but I was thinking of the IXL 18s. id probably upgrade to an ixl 18 if i found one for the right price... the 18w6 would require me to redo my entire trunk (the baffle, false floor, and amp rack) because the sub is 1" deeper.

ah ok.. sometimes i wish the mj had a tad more output but most of the time its perfect.

mmm 140 shipped... could replace my mj18 with it...

Ill check them out man, thanks! Do you know of any other website forums besides caraudio.com that have classifieds such as used amps and such?? I am planning on buying my amp for the subwoofer used, since new amps are expensive as fuck we have a f/s section here on ssa. check it out. also check out db-r.com for refurbs. he might have a sundown amp for a better price then the audioque. Thanks man i will. Does he offer a warranty for the refurbs or no? on the sundowns from db-r. yes 1 year i believe.

these would be reallly nice, aura sound get the Aura RPM2300 RPM Stage 2 Mobile Amplifier 2x150W

If your not picky about looks, you can find a refurb kicker on ebay. something like a zx (or dx) 250.2 300.2 350.2 for example. im sure there are some good deals in the f/s section of the forum. tons of options for amps, i've been pretty lucky with refurb kickers myself. im sure others have other favorites. the amps i recommended are about 100 bucks, you can probably do slightly better buying used from a forum member. for speakers, how much do you plan to spend. i think the bravox i linked earlier would be nice based on some reviews. it would help if you have heard some other setups to help rule out stuff you dont like. pg rsd comps use to be the budget favorite, but they might be hard to find. the IA comps on the ssa store might be good too... im starting to ramble so ill just leave it there.

Its easier to replace it with a double din since the xterras easy to pop it in like that. I also wanted a bigger screen because im contemplating putting my xternal terabyte hard drive in tehre and formatting it so the HU can read it. Thanks for the help man! sounds good. i got a 16 gig thumbdrive that i use with my hu for only $20. works great unless you have a shit ton of music. I appreciate the help man! Is there a way you know of, of seeing if your cars current battery/alternator can handle a 2000-2500 watt amp?? Because if i can figure out if mine can already handle that, then i can go ahead and figure out my budget and go ahead and buy what i need sooner than i planned! x2 on the comps i think the best course of action for you is to wire everything up properly first and see how the stock electrical handles things (DO THE BIG THREE). im recommending this because we dont know yet, how loud you plan to play your music or specifically what type of music you listen to. for example you may find that you dont need to crank things up all the way to get the level of output that your looking for since this is your first build. therefore it wouldn't require a robust electrical upgrade to supply the amp. later you may see that the stock electrical is not enough to handle things and you can come back and see what too go with next. - when you install things, just leave room for an extra battery or 2 in the back.

if you get the audioque then you would want to wire up the sub for a 1 ohm load. people running .5 ohm are doing it for competitions. you would order a dual 2 ohm btl and wire wire the coils in parallel for a 1ohm load.

if you have to run coax off the deck then check out the coax from bravox, alot of great reviews on the forum. unless you've heard the alpines in person, and liked them. (btw you can find the alpines for like 60 bucks on amazon, not that i recommend them at all) another option, find some used. honestly if you dont have money for a decent set of components then dont pay for some overpriced coax's. i would bet money that your next thread on the forum will be something like "help my speakers aren't loud enough". as far as the headunit goes, it looks ok. if you give us a list of specs you need then someone could point out another option. edit: why get a double din if you dont have the budget for a touchscreen, gps unit? just for looks? you can get a single din that does all the same shit for less..

afew things.. -you should at least amp the front speakers. look at some of the offerings in the ssa store for a component set. also, find some people in your area that you can demo. -sounddeadening! !! check out the sound deadening section of the forum for more info. i recommend you contact don at sounddeadenershowdown.com, he can help you through the process (he can custom tailor a list of deadening products specific to your application and goals) -plenty of hu's out there. figure out what options you need like gps, etc. buy used from the f/s section if you trying to save some cash. -how much work you need to do on the electrical depends on how much power you want to run. you seem pretty inexperienced with this so do your homework now so you will be ready. research how to do the big 3 for you vehicle. -do you have some basic wood working skills? if so then building a box yourself would be recommended, it will save you a ton of money. the're are some people on the forum that can help you with a design or learn to design it yourself.

i think you have afew options -make your own box -pay someone to make a custom box to the right specs. or go with sealed..

that box is shit dude. dont waste your money. the port area is wayyy to small.

how about, Axel. or Diesel. actually Axel is the name my parents picked for our dog. he's something of mix between a border collie and german sheppard... our last dog was a Rottweiler named Snickers.. haha

you can find used alpine 9835 and 9855 pretty cheap. great for 2way+sub or 3way active

As odd as it was, the Gamecube controller was the most ergonomic ever imo. I liked it a lot. always loved the triggers on the GC controller.. i think i need to dust mine off and play some super smash bros
