I'm also not convinced to turn off the factory EQ, whatever that is. As far as I know, no one has conclusive evidence how the sound is manipulated other than a presumption of a low cut filter for all speakers except the sub. If that's the case, it's actually a good thing. I also won't go into...

How does it know when you've owned it six months? :giggle:

How many hours do you have with the F-35? Maybe zero? All new weapon systems go through a maturation process. Nothing is ideal at inception, but the F-35 will get there in the same way every other fighter aircraft got there. A couple of the listed issues were resolved long ago. Some of the...

Do you have a source that confirms the speakers are different between the 9-speaker Shaker and the 12-speaker Shaker Pro, other than the rear deck speakers being 2-way and the addition of the sub? I also have the 9-speaker system and it is labeled Shaker. Past threads tell me the only...

I have never used their services, but a buddy of mine highly recommends Doug's Auto Repair Inc. in Orem. Address: 673 E 1775 S, Orem, UT 84097 Phone: (801) 224-4055

Next time I see the co-writer of the song, I'll ask him about the Mustang in the video (assuming he even knows anything about it).

To be clear, it's grandfathered; those paying alimony prior to the new tax law can still deduct it.

Too many "it depends" to give an appropriate answer. Comparing two drivers with different impedance ratings doesn't mean much without taking into account sensitivity/efficiency and the frequency at which it was measured, type and size enclosure it was designed for, the frequency response and...

That's true, to an extent. Had the Democrats not had such a significant majority of both houses of Congress, the votes in favor of each of the civil rights acts would have been greater. The 1964 Bill (one of 4 Civil Rights Acts) initially passed in the House 290 to 130 (60% Dem, 78% Rep). It...

Many young adults have been indoctrinated by academia and mainstream media into the idea that Socialism is good, Capitalism is bad. The odd thing is, Capitalism is an economic system whereas Socialism is primarily a political system with detrimental economic implications. Look at Venezuela...

I feel your pain dealing with the heavy traffic in the NOVA area, which is one reason why I never moved back. I visited a buddy in the Fairfax Station area near Burke Lake and thought the winding, curvy roads would make for a fun drive in the Mustang. Some areas around Leesburg looked fun as...

General rule of thumb: Use an amp rated at the same watts RMS as the speaker. The compact amp wouldn't be an ideal fit with the Alpine speakers because of the low efficiency/sensitivity of those speakers. A 100-watt amp is a better match—Alpine Type R SPR-60 speakers are rated 100w RMS—and...

I haven't kept up with the latest trends in car audio for well over 20 years, so have no specific recommendations. Any quality brand amp that matches its power rating to the power handling of the speakers should work fine.

The amp will work with any of the speaker models you listed, though certainly not ideal for use with the Alpine. Consider this: The Infinity Kappa 62ix has the best efficiency/sensitivity at 95 dB. The reference 6532ex isn't too far behind at 93 dB, but the Alpine Type R SPR-60 is 88 dB. The...

The chart tells me the 3.5" "door tweeter" and pillar tweeter are wired parallel.

I imagine someone who has already replaced the door speakers can verify how they're wired (parallel or combination series/parallel).

The SPL difference between nominal 3 ohm and 4 ohm speakers, with all else being equal, will be inaudible. I wouldn't get hung up over minor differences in impedance.

The impedance of the drivers are "all over the place" because the design engineers are likely trying to find a happy compromise of the total load seen by the amplifier. Two or more drivers in parallel changes the load seen by the amp. You can look up the formula online. Impedance that's too...

The majority of taxpayers will have their overall tax burden reduced as a result of the new tax law. What many fail to consider is that their tax withholding went down over the course of an entire year, which was reflected in their paychecks (all else being equal). You can't assume the law was...

Before obtaining quotes from insurance companies, decide on the coverage and services you need/want. Only then can you compare price. You can't really glean off of anyone else here since your location, age, driving history, etc., all play a role in the price. I have been with State Farm for...
