Dave T asked:


I just bought a 2005 Pontiac GTO. I have the completed sound system from my old car and just need it professionally installed into my new ride. I am looking for stealth, and sound quality, nothing flashy. I have MB Quart Q-series components, a JL Audio 10W7 sub, two JL Audio amps, and an Alpine 9855 head unit. I also have a bulk kit of Dynamat Xtreme that I need installed into my trunk and doors.

I will not use HiFi Buys in Roswell due to a bad experience with them. I am now considering other options, and hopefully someone on here can refer me to a high-quality, reputable shop with plenty of references. I would prefer not to drive all the way to Marietta, Lawrenceville, etc. It is not a requirement, but someone with experience on the 2004-2006 GTO will be helpful.

jmac asked:


I’m running an onkyo tx-ds898 receiver, I have 2 sets of cerwin vega cabinets re30’s (12’s) and re38’s (15’s). The receiver puts out 110 rms to the fronts. I was going to run that to the 12’s. I also have a 75 amp rms 12 volt power supply, and a kinetic HC1800 high current 12 volt battery. I used to work at a car audio store so I have a bunch of stuff I was thinking of hooking up a Precision Power PC2350, witch will deliver 350 rms to each of my 15’s. But my main question is is this a dumb idea? is it possible to get signal from my home receiver for a car amp? how do you think it will sound? …… I’m just not trying to spend any money on a home amp right now.

swiftydude25 asked:


For example the overall wattage of the speakers and sub put together is lower than the wattage of the receiver? Or as close to equal to as possible? Somebody told me that under powering a speaker damages it more than over powering, true or false?
