So I recently had a Sony xav-9500es installed in my GMC Canyon and I was under the impression you could screen mirroring to it. Does anyone know if any dongles like magic box 3.0 or ottocast play2video work? Feeling slightly disappointed that on family trips I have to load videos onto a USB for the kids to watch anything.

I just picked up this sundown ZV6 D2 12" 2500 RMS sub. I'm currently running a 2000.1 stinger. It rattles the truck but if I turn my gain past 75% I start to hear it clipping. I was thinking about a JP33 or a JP43 because they're currently on sale. The JP33 can do 4484 watts dyno certified 1% @ 1 ohm load which would be way more than enough power for my ZV6. Are there any better options available, is the salt 4 really worth $1200?

Is there any reason why a single DIN am/fm/cd/tuner from a big rig or bus wouldn't work in a car? I see some advertised for semis and buses but I see no difference other than certain features like PA systems and weather bands

I have been reading through this sub a little bit and haven’t found anything quite like I am seeing with my set up right now. Anyone with some advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is the 4-5th camera I have installed now. I am working on a 2011 Camry LE. I am typically good at remembering to unplug the battery but this time I forgot. I have got everything installed and the camera is not triggering the head unit. Also, my check engine light is now on and throwing the code P2111 (throttle control actuator stuck open). I am assuming this is because of a short or something that I caused by not disconnecting the battery.

How would you go about fixing this? Is it simple like a fuse? Or did I likely fry the whole throttle actuator. I know very little about electronics especially car electronics. I have a multimeter but am not sure where to read across to get any answers.

Again any thoughts/advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all, I just picked up a 2017 Lincoln Continental and I’m looking to upgrade the sound system. I’m mainly after deeper bass, but I don’t want it to rattle or be obnoxious from the outside. Ideally, I’d like something compact (maybe an under-seat sub) but I’m open to other setups if they make more sense.

I’m also thinking about upgrading the factory speakers for better clarity and overall sound. I’m pretty green when it comes to car audio, so I’m not sure if I need a sub, amp, and new speakers, or just one or two of those components.

Any suggestions or guidance would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I just put in some new speaker and my back left one makes some type of sound when no audio is being played

Got a Kicker CXA800.1T, with 2 MTX Terminator 12s. Im happy with it so far and im getting a heat unit next week. Y’all think it’ll make a decent difference?

Are there any speaker manufacturers somewhere in between the likes Alpine/JBL but not as expensive as Bang & Olufsen / Bose?

Looking for a pair of 6.5" speakers for the car but so far none of the JBL, Pioneer, Kenwwod, JVC or Alpine ones I have listened to produce anywhere near realistic audiophile sound.

Hey Guys In Need of Help!! I Have Three 8 Ohm 10" Prv Midbass Speakers With A Max Rms Of 1000 Watts Each Speaker, Wondering What Exact Amp To Get To Play These Speakers To Their Full Potenial New To The Music Scene... Much Appreciated.

Im looking to replace all 4 door speakers with either JBL Club 64SQ 6.5 coaxials or kicker ks 6.5, what would be better for me? I’m wanting to replace all 4 door speaker and already have 2 kicker LR7 “ installed. Wanted to power said door speakers with kicker cxa360.4 other options are always good price range up to $150 for each set TIA

So i right now have an mds subwoofer 350rms and the box i pretty big and chunky, no worries there my car is pretty big. But i would really want an upgrade but since im on a budget, FB marketplace it is. I found 2x10” cerwin vega, i spoke to the guy selling them and he said they are 450rms with 1600w max capacity ( english is not my firt language dont know all the words) my question is, should i buy it, is it worth it? I would like a bit more space in my truck the box is smaller.

Any help is appreciated

Car is old with 300k miles

Cd changed to next disk and this happened And stay like this for all disks Even when took out and back in

Need advice

There’s 16 bands 31hz, 46hz, 63hz, 125hz, 230hz, 400hz, 630hz, 810hz, 1khz, 2khz, 4khz, 6khz, 8khz, 12khz, 14khz, and 16khz (for the first slide) if you guys can’t see clearly, but i don’t remember what brand this android car player is.

Idk the difference between dsp and asp, and if i need to tune both to get a good bass boost. For context i still have my factory standard car speaker, im planning to change to some better speakers in the future. But for now these speakers are sufficient.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge of these things 😅

I have a very old Sony xr-7071 head unit, and have been looking for a cd changer, however this old radio uses a 13 pin din cable for the cd changer, and all Sony cd changers use a different cable along with the RCA cables, the only Sony cd changers I could find with the correct cable are the old a series ones, which I have been unable to find one. I was just wondering whether anyone knew if I were possible to use a kenwood cd changer (KDC-46x units) as they are readily available, and use the same 13 pin din cable, however I am unsure if it would work as the kenwood units may communicate differently to the Sony ones. If anyone has any experience or knowledge of these old Sony cd changers I would appreciate the help.

I brought this digital output and was blown away with the sound quality. my laptop audio driver can only play up 24bit 96khz. I have a fully active 3 way set up. Has anyone tried this in car audio?

My buddy is a fucking nut-job. These are the bass amps getting put into the new build, along with 40 banks or 2000ah of LTO.

I can already feel the death.

I've seen echo Master mentioned lot but rich model?

Anything else I should be looking at?

Kenwood HD cameras and HD Head units are stupid expensive.

Can someone just recommend something solid please..

Thank you

I have a vw 2017 Passat rline non fender edition with 2 kicker LR2 12” subs on a 1200 wat mono amp and stock head unit. I need a recommendation on 6.5 coaxial door speakers that are sub $150 so I can replace all 4 door speakers and I plan on buying an amp for said speakers. Have heard people say jbl gto629 are the way to go but also been looking at kicker cs and ks series. TIA

I could use a bit of guidance when it comes to hooking up my sub. I have a system where I have two 6.5" speakers in the doors, two tweeters, and one 8" subwoofer. I'm installing an Alpine ILXW650 w/ KTA450 power pack and trying to decide if I should run my sub through the rear RCAs to the KTA450 amp or if I should run it through my sub RCAs, bypassing the KTA450 and go to a second amp for the sub only.

Can I even connect my Sub-out RCAs from my head unit to the rear speaker in RCAs on the KTA450 and then out to my sub?
