Currently running a Scosche ITCFD05AB install kit (adapts all of the modules, steering wheel controls, etc... for a double-din head unit). For context, I have a Kenwood DDX396, down4sound dsp68+, Pioneer GM-DX874 (100W RMS x 4 CEA), Skar RP-800.1D (900w x 1 RMS), SKAR SDR-12 in a SKAR sealed...

I thought this engine had enough compression where the clutch would still hold it. This is the bottom of a residential driveway, not a mountain pass or anything. Shifting into gear on a hill has always been widely suggested solution to rolling backwards. I don't remember ever having an issue in...

I have a 2016 3.7 M6. The clutch works perfectly in every day driving. It's very grabby in first, and there are no signs that it is slipping. I recently had the brakes done. I was breaking them in and heating them up pretty good, so I didn't want to use the e-brake and leave a high spot on the...

You are probably going to have to splice into your factory wiring to make it work, unless you can find some kind of factory amp integration adapter which will give you bare wires. If you could find a vehicle that originally had the B&O and cut off the harness further back it may make it easier...

In theory, i agree, but the crappy Sound Ordnance 3/4"ers I had in there were like a laser beam. If anything got in the way (like a grille) they became irritatingly harsh, reflecting everywhere. I cut them by 4-5dB, and they were sounding just OK. In odd contrast, their textured poly midbass...

The Focal stuff is always very nice. I believe the Flax series is their new flagship. I'd bet money that they sound amazing, but 6 bills is a bit too rich for my blood. I almost got a set of their components (lower end) for the stang, but reviews were saying the woofers either didn't have very...

Ended up going with the Infinity REF-375TX. They sounded REALLY good on the bench. They are edge-driven, and textile dome, which is similar to silk but an alternate material. Just got around to installing them in the A-Pillars. They basically came with no instructions and a tiny blow-up diagram...

Other than not removing the seat backs and the side trunk trim, pretty much exactly! :) I'll be doing that when I upgrade the rear fill speakers which are currently blown and crossed at 250hz to buy me time.

That was actually directed at @Chef jpd and their kickers, but I will take a look at the Clarus too.

I agree, it's a "jungle" out there, no pun intended. But they're from discountsjungle, which appears to be legit. Feedback for that specific item is 100% positive. https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/discountsjungle?filter=feedback_page%3ARECEIVED_AS_SELLER&q=283401329667

Thanks. I'll keep a look out for those Alpines. Sounds like you went through a similar wiring mess as I did, although I have the 6-speaker system with 2-way components in doors. I had to patch into the factory door speaker wiring through the harness adapter which came with the dash install kit...

How exactly did you get these to fit? I have a set of the Crutchfield Sound Ordnance P67cb components I was trying to flush mount where the original grilles were. They list a frame diameter of 1.811", while those kickers are 2.045". The "threaded ring" on the flush mounts for my SO's wouldn't...

Never got a reply to my other question so can I ask you which model Type-R? Did you go with the full component set? Any idea if the Type-S will fit? They seem pretty stout with a frequency response down to 1000hz. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SS10TW/Alpine-S-S10TW.html?tp=107 Also leaning...

I'm not sure what you mean by add-on tweeters. There are plenty of high end separate tweeters available. I wasn't saying I bought a set of those $15 "niobium" (Piezo) tweeters and hacked them in. I've gone through two component sets. The Powerbass OE65C-FD sounded TERRIBLE. I switched to the...

They basically sounded the same when I had them wired from the aftermarket head unit amp and through their included external crossovers. The stockers were also similarly harsh but not as bad due to being larger (1" ?). But yes I do have a DSP, the equipment to take a measurement, and the...
