    2000w amp install

    They sound like the max power ratings on those amps. Very doubtful that the true RMS rating for those amps is going to be 1500 or 2,000. Take a look at the fuses on those amps, that will tell you the true power when you calculate it based on vehicle voltage

    2000w amp install

    And that's most likely all max power, not actual RMS ratings of your equipment. Huge difference. RMS is the only way you should be measuring your system

    Penzoil sale

    Probably should be on sale all the time to get people to buy that garbage pennzoils worst oil I've ever used in my life. The only synthetic oil that I have ever seen gel at -30C They could be given it away for free or even paying for me to take it and I still would leave the stuff on the shelf.

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    Omg. I couldn't imagine setting in some of these vehicles. The way some of you guys are talking about replacing speakers and what you're putting where will make for horrendous soundstage in the vehicle. As if the factory unit wasn't bad enough.

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    Guaranteed 100% of Kenwood excelon or Infiniti reference or even the base model kickers will sound better than those CDTs. They'll definitely cost more because CDTs are a budget friendly speaker. They aren't bad especially for the price but no comparison to the brands that actually put in some...

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    That is the funniest and most BS I've ever heard when comparing CDTs to a set of Kenwood excelon speakers. CDTs Don't even come close to good sound quality compared to the Exelon speakers. And as soon as you said that you put them in your headliner, that eliminates all credibility right there...

    2024 Limited Alpine 9-speaker saga continues...

    If you go to a professional car audio installer, do yourself a favor and just purchase your front doors and front – speakers. Forget the useless center channel and the useless headliner speakers. Have them install a four channel amp running active to your dash and your front doors. Either...

    Upgraded radio

    Looks like the farka connector for your AM FM radio or the one for sat radio. Typical of those Chinese built generic Android radios. Get yourself a bottle of Tylenol and a bottle of Advil, because trust me, you're going to need them in the future. Lol

    Another speaker question (9 speaker Alpine)

    CDT speakers can be purchased at almost any reputable car audio shop usually considered a low end, decent speaker. Definitely wouldn't put them in the class of anywhere near a Kenwood Pioneer kicker or Rockford or Alpine.

    2019 Ram 1500 headlight adjustment

    He doesn't need to explain where the adjustment is. He knows where the adjustment screws are. Also for your other comment, doesn't matter if it's a reflector lens or a projector lens. The process is still the same. 25 feet away from a wall. Adjust your cut off line to that.

    $149.00 Head Unit on Amazon

    I'll give you some advice, go to the local pharmacy or Walmart and get yourself three or four bottles of Advil or Tylenol because you're going to need them. It might work now but you're in for headaches. You couldn't pay me to buy one of those. After installing several of them for friends and...

    2019 Ram 5th Gen Stereo Problem

    Well, to be fair you didn't say front and rear door. You were only talking about driver side and you mentioned the door and you mentioned the dash so I figured we're talking front, especially considering the rear speakers are useless anyway as your sound stage should be at the front. But it...

    2013 Ram 1500 FOB

    I paid $23 Canadian plus tax for two fobs on Amazon. Program them to the truck with Alpha OBD in a matter of about 3 minutes. Can't get much cheaper than that

    Radio glitch

    He typed the three astrixes himself. That's how you type out a number when you're just putting an estimation because he doesn't know the exact mileage. It's 120,000 plus

    2019 Ram 5th Gen Stereo Problem

    Not always. Very common for a speaker to just instantly stop working. That's what happens when a voice coil instantly burns out due to being overworked or if it happened to get corrosion or even a factory defect. 100% guarantee you have a speaker issue. If your dash speaker is working on that...

    Amazon music, Sirius Xm, Spotify bitrates, Bluetooth vs USB connection, does it really matter in our stock audio systems?

    All your streaming services consist of compressed battery with the exception of Amazon who does offer some higher bit rate music. Obviously if you have music on a usb depending on what bit rate you downloaded at, it's going to sound better even in the crappy systems in these trucks. You'll...

    Can't fit 285/70r17 with Bilstein leveling method

    Exactly as mentioned above. Your stock wheels have left offset. You could either do as mentioned above and grab a set of 4th gen wheels which will offer a little better offset or go with a set of spacers which will do the exact same thing. And disregard the BS. The people are going to say the...

    ship to Canada?

    Definitely false information right there. I live in Canada and I have bought from both aftermarket vendors and OEM dealers, both ATV parts and vehicle parts. And I actually have a co-worker that has bought two vehicles directly from US dealerships and had them shipped by rail across the border...

    Another direct fit muffler question. Help me decide!

    It's a pretty easy decision. Just like the old saying in their ads, people who know use magnaflow

    Left rear speaker was working fine but quit as I may have touched the two wires together while music was playing. Is this fixable?

    Your radio is more than likely fine. As mentioned, all the newer radios required to see resistance on a particular speaker channel or else the radio will shut down that channel. Same thing goes for any short or anything on each channel. Your radio will not send any signal to the speaker. If it...

    Speaker question

    Sound quality isn't going to change with the wattage that you're putting to it. You better realize that even though that amp puts out 50 watts RMS that is only at one specific frequency at full volume. You're not feeding 50 watts to those speakers all the time. The speakers themselves are just...

    Block Heater effectiveness 5.7

    Plugging in the block heater will do. Absolutely nothing for your battery or your washer fluid. It barely makes a difference with the oil. The coolant does not get up to a high enough temperature to heat the engine bay. It definitely does not prevent your window from frosting over, again. Engine...

    Inside of front windshield frosted over.

    As much hate as I have on the dealerships, they are not 100% wrong. This is very common at this time of year and through it the winter. There are several things that you can do to help eliminate this issue. A few questions first though. First of all, do you eat fast food in your vehicle or drink...
