    kicker amp with kicker sub ?

    NO NO NO. The amp is not stable at 1 ohm. It might work and be loud, but it will likely overheat and have a shortened lifespan. Go for it if you may, but theres a reason kicker doesnt have a power spec @ 1 ohm. If you have dual 2 ohm voice coils, you need an amp that makes max power at 1 or 4...

    Volkswagen stereo code! *help!!!*?

    Each stereo has a different code. You need the VIN number from the car that radio was in, and take it to the dealer, and they can pull the code. Who did you buy it from? Ask if they have the little "code card" that comes with the new car with the code on it. They will charge to pull the code...

    What is the best amp I should get for car audio that is 1500-1600 watts peak 2 channel?

    Dude, if you keep buying flea market junk like boss, lanzar or SPL, the amp will just fry again. Its cheap crap! Look, you already have to spend more money for a new amp.... so just buy a good one this time! You get what you pay for.... BTW, peak power means NOTHING, its all marketing. Most good...

    My 10" kicker l5 only works when i push on it?

    Sounds like the coil might have a dead spot. Make sure all the connections are perfect. I had a sub like this too once, not much you can do but replace it. It would work when i grabbed the lead wires that go into the voice coil. Are you overpowering it or pushing it too hard?

    what wires do what for a pioneer car stereo?

    Do you have a wiring harness? It plugs into your mitsu harness and makes all the wires the same color as the pioneers, so its a no brainer.

    how do i remove the factory radio from a 1989 ford ranger?

    well, sometimes you need to jiggle the keys around harshly or push them in out, side to side to get them to come out. It can be stubborn sometimes.

    Getting new sound system in car..Should I get both rear and front at the same time to...

    forget PEAK power ratings-- they mean nothing. If you are just getting an amp for your speakers, no subwoofers, get a good 4 channel amp. anywhere from 35x4 watts RMS to 100x4 watts RMS is PLENTY for interior speakers. We are talking about REAL true watts here. 100x4 real real watts will cause...

    What is a better box for 2 kicker L7 12s?

    Trashed the box? Did someone make it crappy quality? Given the same area, a port is a port, no matter what shape. Slot ports are ideal because you can tune the box with enough port area easily, whereas with tube ports, they would be too long for the box in certain tunings. So, either type is...

    Can you put stereo subs into a car?

    Ive seen it before, I did it when I was like 16.... You need a power invertor/inverter to power the thing. It can be done, and sound halfway decent, but its not ideal.

    kicker zx500.1 or planet audio 800.2 amp?

    If you have ONE sub that is dual 4 ohms, you need an amp that makes max power at 2 ohms mono. Which I believe the kicker does... better double check since you said 4 ohms. I would take the kicker, BTW.

    Does anyone know about car audio systems?...?

    This is a bad question because there are a MILLION answers! First, figure out your budget, how much space you want, etc. You need an amp, sub box, subs, and all the wiring. Im assuming you already have an aftermarket CD player installed. Kicker is a decent mid-level brand. There are many others...
