OK, my car stereo sucks balls. <insert marital dispute regarding purchasing new car and wanting to upgrade said new car here>
I have decided that I want to installa set of components in the front doors.
Does anybody have any suggestions for a cheap (less than $75) set that sounds ok?
I am also going to build my own version of the SHoebox Sub, because they are no longer being built. I intend to put in an 8 inch Kicker SoloBaric. Which direction should the sub point? up? into the trunk area?
Does anybody have a good recommendation for an amp that will power the sub?
Is it possible to power the sub, and the front speakers from the same amp?
What is a 2 ohm speaker? how is it different froma 4-ohm? why do I care?
What are 'channels on an amp? are they separate lines for the different speakers?
Because I want to use one sub, could I use a 4 channel amp and bridge 2 channels for the sub and keep the other two channels for the fronts?
What is a good inexpensive amp that will drive an 8-inch sub? without blowing it up... or 'clipping'.
somebody tell me how you do this stuff - I am very handy with the soldering iron and many technical projects, however I have never put a stereo system together.
Thanks in advance.
