    Crackly 6x9

    Yes, both speakers would be affected.... I realise the above was a rhetorical question clio142, but thought I'd best answer it for the benefit of Littlec17....

    Crackly 6x9

    Again not enough info supplied for a meaningful diagnosis mate.... Is your Head Unit driving Front speakers & 2 sets of rear speakers??? If so how are the 6x9s wired in, (parallel or series)???.... If you've tested another known good speaker on this channel & its still crackling then it must...

    Crackly 6x9

    Unfortunately it's impossible to argue this case scenario over the net mate....Surely you understand different faults will result in similar symptoms....The symptoms in this case, when coupled with info supplied, simply don't match your possible causes.... I was going to explain my points with...

    Crackly 6x9

    No it won't.... Sorry, wrong again....Overall impedance is the issue with this scenario.... This would affect every output channel, not just the 6x9s.... Sorry, wrong yet again....Reversing, 'polarity' as you call it, would simply alter the 'phasing' of each speaker.... Because the issue...

    How to Fit 6x9s

    Wiring them up isn't really an issue until you have sorted how you intend to install them.... BUT; First things first.... Will you be fitting any type of sub in the boot??? If yes, then give the 6x9s a miss, if no, then I would recommend you seriously consider either making or purchasing a...

    Complete system upgrade advice needed!

    Can't really see the point mate.... Your upgrades would be like side stepping, rather than stepping forwards.... OK, your new Head Unit will give slightly better sound quality, but once you add the upgraded speakers this added quality will only be noticeable at lower volume levels....(due to...

    Amp wont turn on! HELP

    Remove the remote feed from the amplifiers remote terminal.... Using a short length of wire with bare ends, take a feed from the amps +ve terminal to the amps remote terminal.... As you link these two terminals the amp should spring into life.... Does it ??? Using a multimeter check voltage...

    Amp wont turn on! HELP

    With that full explanation of your reasoning behind the switch, I concur with cliocc that the easiest route would be to fit a switch into the remote feed from the Head Unit.... If your actually using two amplifiers in the boot, then run two remote feeds from the Head Unit, then fit the switch...

    Amp wont turn on! HELP

    The relay is required because the remote feed from the Head Unit doesn't carry enough current to drive the cooling fans.... You could simply use the remote feed as a switching supply for the relay, then use the relays output supply to run the fans & act as a remote feed for the amp, but this...

    Amp wont turn on! HELP

    If you check first wiring pic he has wired the amp via a switched relay, without knowing this relays rating I would guess it has blown due to excessive current.....

    What Amp do I Need to Get?

    Whilst amping your current speakers will yield better mid bass, it will also multiply any install issues associated with speaker mounting & mounting location.... For best results you should look at deadening & sealing your door apertures & using MDF speaker baffles, again sealed to the door...

    Something not right.....

    I would suggest you double check that the new speakers terminals aren't in contact with the door panels.... With regards 'Phasing' issues; As MT AUDIO states this usually causes cancellation rather than distortion, but to clarify phasing simply use a 9v battery....Touch speaker wiring to...

    Subs

    I wouldn't personally buy a fuse from CAC let alone any type of package rip off.... caraudiosecurity caraudiodirect These are much better with regards customer service and after sales care.... If going with caraudiosecurity then you should check out there E-Bay shop, some good bargains...

    Best place for 2nd hand ICE?

    If you require decent used kit at decent money then TA is the best option.... The Classifieds restrictions are in place to protect people, such as yourself, from being ripped off on a whim.... Maybe you should try visiting your local car boot sale....Check local audio outlets for cheaper older...

    Does all this audio equipment go together well ?

    Depends entirely on how you plan installing & using it.... If your simply going to fit it & play it at loud levels then my response would be....NO.... If your actually going to install it with quality in mind, (MDF Baffles, Deadened & Sealed Door Cavities, Custom Built Door pods, A-Pillar...

    Woops

    It will either need that function enabling, (Menu Feature AUX ON/OFF)....or the Head Unit will need to be reset, (Press reset button with a pen or disconnect from Power Supply for 10 secs or so)....

    audio advice on sub/amps

    You don't really want a 'Band-Pass' enclosure mate, these tend to have a pretty steep & narrow response curve so will not be ideal in all scenarios.... I would suggest a fairly highly tuned 'Ported Enclosure', (say between 35Hz to 45Hz), as most music types don't really contain low stuff, (30Hz...

    audio advice on sub/amps

    My advice would be to ignore 90% of this thread as it has no bearing on your situation:D With £150 to spend I would be looking for a cheap 4ch amp to drive your current front speakers & a 12" sub.... Try to avoid the so called 'Bass Package' deals because they are simply a means to sell items...

    Audio Quality

    I would agree all points made are valid....But, each individual will have different tastes and as such each individual should tailor there system to suit themselves, not some ideal scenario that most seem to hanker after.... As previously stated, installation is the key....

    Confused on cd player

    The simple answer is 'NO'..... There are more expensive Units that will out perform your Mutant Unit on every front, but none that will at that price..... Manufacturers are now churning out many different entry level units that are aimed at the motorist who simply want an 'apparent' upgrade...

    Wallops Cav just got 'LOUDER'....

    Serious answer, (also the truth lol).... My eldest son dragged me along to a local car park one Friday evening about 5 or 6 years ago to show me what they were getting up to....I listened to a few cars & made the mistake of telling one youngster his sounded particularly bad....Not the right...
