Ask a guy who's been installing car audio for over 10 years anything

They're alright. Not my cup of tea.

I gotta agree. I have a X12 and its good but it doesn't blow me away for the price.

How well does car sound insulation work? Is it worth getting?

 

[IrateMastermind]

Is this $1500 for just product?

If you want a quiet ride, sound deadening is a must. Doors, wheel wells, and floor are where the majority of your noise will come from.

You would def to up your budget if you want to sound deaden properly + change everything else out.

Hmm. So what do you suggest and how much would it all cost? $1500 was for product but I can do more. I thought $1500 was generous.

My main goal is sound quality. Both highs and lows. Not just bass.

I need advice on reducing rattling in my car from subwoofers in my trunk.

 

[Gizza]

The build quality on some of the items are subpar

For example, the gain knobs are a little tricky and very fragile. The screw down terminals are positioned pretty shytty also. The company gotta keep product costs low somehow, but performance wise, they're A1. A lot of car audio competitors use these amps with success.

thanks again mayne

Perfect timing for this post! I want to install a Sirius/XM radio in my car. I know my other car has an antennae on the top. So, if I get one do I need an antennae rig too? Do you recommend a model?

Just to answer this, you need a Sirius XM-enabled car stereo and the separate Sirus/XM antenna that you attach to your car an run the wires up under the dash. One fukked up think to keep in mind. There's some goofy ass distinction between Sirius/XM and Sirius. So, if you get an XM antennae, you get less channels for some stupid reason. I wanted to bust a Sirius guys ass when he told me that.

My aux port is broken; the dealership said they had to replace the whole radio for it to work. They said they'd charge me $600. How much do u charge for such services?

@edzyy , just got a 08 Mazda 6 ,no aux cord.

Just looking to get a deck installed. Car toys and this Mexican shop both want at least 550+ bc they have to take out the whole console. Was debating just getting a Bose or beats pill to ride to

Question is, is 500 really the cheapest just to get a car deck installed? Any suggestions? Thanks breh
