    So I got these kickers...

    If someone only charged you $70 to install that amp and did it clean and correct, you got a good deal. I haven't paid someone to install my stereo systems in over 16 years because of how bad the installation charges were in the early 90's. Gomez, if you can't find a reasonable installer, you...

    02 Escalade wobbles on country roads...wtf?

    Just bought a 2002 Escalade a couple of weeks ago. Has 124,000 miles on it, but I got a good deal on it. It runs great and by what I've read, it has the auto ride air suspension on it (compressor cuts on start-up and cut-off). I just noticed the other day that when I'm on a country road that...

    Amping stock speakers and other questions

    Update I got to dig into it a little last night. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the 11 speakers sounded with my Pioneer head unit. My 6900UB has a 7 band equalizer and having that extra ability to adjust the highs actually changed my decision for the time being. I'm not gonna use...

    Aftermarket radio in stock cd changer location?

    Has anyone installed an aftermarket radio in the cd-changer location. I have an 02 Escalade which had the changer right above the ash-tray. I pulled it all apart this evening real quick and was able to pull the changer out. It looks the exact size of my Pioneer deck. I would love to keep the...

    Radio works but NO Sounds?!?

    Not sure about how the Sirius tuner is wired up, but if, for some reason, you had to tap into the remote wire (usually blue but in factory wiring, I'm not sure) make sure that wire isn't broken or disconnected. If that wire has been damaged or disconnected accidentally, the radio will power up...

    Audio Dilemma

    It comes down to personal preference. I know an 8 inch sub isn't gonna cut it for me. If I'm gonna go to the trouble of running another amp to power the factory subwoofer, you might as well make (or buy) a box for the sub you already have. I make all my sub boxes for every vehicle I buy. Get...

    FM Radio Frequencies

    That's unusual, because all the major stations in the Richmond area are odd as well. 92.1, 94.5, 101.1, 102.1, 103.7, 98.1 and 106.5. I googled it, and if you lived in Europe, you'd have a radio that would work, but in the U.S. you're out of luck. Not sure why a private station would...

    4 channel amp question

    I have done this before and have not had a problem at all. With the proper connectors you can tap into the speakers for the pillar without cutting them. I'm about to start digging in to mine here soon. The biggest task I have is making my connections from my JL amp to the factory speakers at...

    Amping stock speakers and other questions

    MadMedwyn, you have a good point. I could actually run the 4 door speakers off of my 4 channel amp and maybe tap the front pillars into the front channel of my amp. I also plan on making a box to fit behind the 3rd row with one 12 inch sub. My biggest task is finding the factory amp and...

    Amping stock speakers and other questions

    I just bought a 2002 Escalade. It has the Bose system with Onstar. I want to transfer my stereo system from my old truck to this truck. Unfortunately, this truck is way more complicated. 1. I have a 4 channel amp. Doing some reading, the stock speakers are an odd ohm from the usual 4 or...
