    How do I hook up an aftermarket stereo in my 1986 cadillac coupe deville?

    Is this a FWD model? I had an 88 caddy once... dont hook up the orange, the yellow has to be hooked up to CONSTANT 12v source. So the yellow wire off the head unit (make sure the owners manual says its the 12c constant/memory wire) has to be hooked up to a constant 12v source. Check all your...

    2001 Dodge Ram 1500 cd player wiring question?

    Your making this hard on yourself... go to the stereo shop, or best buy, and buy a "wiring harness". It will plug into your stock stereo harness, and have the same colors as the CD player coming out, so you just match the colors up... so easy. Plus you can return it to stock real easy if you...

    Help with wiring a 2 ohm Kicker L7?

    "J" Is a bit clueless, crunch is a bad brand, that amp wont do 1000 watts. Wire the sub in series, bridge the amp. Its only 400 watts RMS, though, should still be decent. Look here at option 2 http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=22

    Which amp is better for one kicker 15" l7 at 2 ohm? The Hifonics BXi1210D or

    You have the dual 2 ohm version L7? Hifonics BXi1210D would be a better choice... Even better is the audioque 1200d, much better quality, its 229 shipped from them. http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps.htm Careful! You are overpowering your sub...

    i have 2 15" Kicker CompVR's, what type of amp should i get to support both of them?

    WOW candace has NO IDEA what she is talking about. CVR 15 inchers handle 500 watts RMS a piece. So, a 1000 watt RMS for best performance. We need to know the impedance, or how many "ohms" your subs are before we can recommend an amp.

    Car systems question about Kicker brand?

    Kicker is a good brand. They have been since they opened shop a LONG time ago. What model subs are they, CVR? Is the amp a zx550.2?? As long as the impedance matches, it should be a good setup, but we need a tad more information to be sure.

    How good are Rockford Fosgate systems?

    They are good. The company has been in business since the 70's, but they sold out awhile ago, and are no longer made in the USA, which is disappointing, since their old school stuff is legendary. However, they still make a good quality product, and you cant really go wrong with any RF stuff...

    How big of a capacitor do I need for a jl 12w3v3 with a rockford fosgate punch 300 amp?

    I would say you definetly dont even need one. Sub a low power system, why bother. I dont really believe in them anyways, they are just a bandaid at best. Upgrade the "big three" wires under your hook. Google big three car audio upgrade and you will see.

    I have a Cadillac Seville, and I need a new alternator... How much is it going to cost?

    Depends on the year... but for most of them, you can go to the auto parts store and get one for 80-120 dollars. I had a 92 seville with 4.9 engine, the alternator was REAL easy to change, 10 minutes maybe. If you have a northstar, it might be harder. Just call around to all the local shops and...

    how is the Harmon Kardon Logic 7 car audio system?

    Its DECENT, but can never replace high quality aftermarket stereos. HK sounds awesome in the BMWs, but seriously lacks bass in some models. 7 series sounds good. Sounds pretty good in the E class too, however, it has "idiot controls" IE, cuts out the bass at high volume so the speakers dont...

    can my jensen ka3 amplify 1 kicker 15in subwoofer?

    Eh probably not. If i remember, this is a 3 channel amp, and the sub channel is 1 ohm stable, but its only like 150 watts... You can try it, but its not going to be very loud, especially if you dont show it a 1 ohm load. If you already have power wires and stuff run, why not, it will only take...

    Would i need a capacitor for my car audio system?

    No way... first off all, capacitors are totally useless dude! Only newbs would use them and say they are of use. The biggest myths are that they "save" the alternator or battery. COMPLETE MYTH, 100 PERCENT FALSE. Also, it doesnt stop headlight dimming. Plus, that setup you are looking at is...
