If you think the Xenon amps are not as good as the old ones, check out this thread. http://soundoff.phoenixgold.com/viewtop ... 0+4+review

Wow, umm...no? i wouldn't even almost put PG on the same level as JL. Were not comparing Boss to JL, were comparing two very good quality amplifiers. My whole point was, if there is much difference between the two, it sure as hell isnt worth an extra 30% in price. If your goal is to have the absolu...

Best choice at a little over 300. It has everything you are looking for, and it is the only deck that you will find with and 11 band eq built in.

Unless you count ebay, I believe Sonicelectronix is by far the best source for stereo equipment. You can order off of their site, but I prefer to order from them through ebay "buy it now" so that I can leave feedback. Companies like them which do large volume are not going to screw their c...

Head unit ground, or amp ground? Like I said, if I hook up my portable straight to the amp, there is no noise w/ the car running.

I have an 02 TL. I had a complete system professionally installed, including a deck, 4 speakers, 2 subs, 4 ch amp, and 2ch amp. Originally, I had the 2 fronts hooked up to the 4 channel for about a week (didnt have time to do the rears or subs). No engine noise, and it sounded great. The audio shop ...
