i used Netflix with my 360 about a year ago, and the selection at that time was pretty bad. couldn't rely on it as a sole selection source, especially for new releases. However, other than that it was very cool. In recent marketing campaigns nextflix has focused on streaming video quite a bit, so th...

thanks for that link. haven't heard of that brand. looks nice! i actually already pulled the trigger on the Polk MM1040 10" sub and the Polk MM521 2-way 5.25" coax (for easy and stealthy install). According to polk, they are both "Marine Certified." I also won a PPI PC450 on ebay...

For an amp, i was thinking of picking up a PPI PC450 (50w x 4) on eBay. Then protecting it with a weatherproof storage box that we'll build. I guess the challenge is making the box waterproof while also allow the amp to breathe. Any idea how i can do this? I can make the box air-tight, but am afraid...

ok, got the final budget number - $600. That pretty much limits us to one 4ch amp and one sub. More importantly, do you think we can get away without using marine-grade stuff?

New Project - Jeep Wrangler Install

my buddy just bought a jeep wrangler as a second vehicle. He plans on taking the doors and top off, and probably never putting them back on! He's actually ripping out all of the carpet and having the floor sprayed with Rhino Lining. It'll definitely be a "beach jeep". He knows i'm into car...

cool. thanks Bill. that's what i'll do. I figure you're an expert after looking at the pictures of your van. Holy sh1t, that's a lot distribution!

Btw, i sold the OverDrive. Got $65 on eBay, which netted out my investment in my EQX to $65! Not bad for an item that sells for $340 on Crutchfield :)

Ground Point VS Length of Ground Cable

I currently have my amp and LC6i grounded to the body of my truck. The length of the amp ground cable is about 12". Everything sounds fine, but as I add this second amp, I am considering moving the ground point to a bolt that goes directly into the frame of the truck. However, this will add ano...

i do have the "BASS", "MID", and "TREB" adjustments in my factory head unit that i could use. Not sure what frequencies those adjust, but i guess if my EQX is crossing over at 90hz/24db, then most of the sound affected by the "BASS" option should be what's get...

Add-on Remote "Bass Knob"?

Anyone have an opinion the the PAC LC1 or similar devices? I'm basically just looking for a way to turn down the bass in my 2 amp setup at will. I'm NOT looking for a bass boost or anything that messes with my EQ settings. For installation, I'm assuming I would just turn this knob up to its max leve...

I pulled the trigger, and just bought an IDQ 10 from woofersetc.com. I called Image Dynamics and talked to Sean, pointed him to this thread, and he reco...
