The big day has arrived. In the first installment , we planned out the system for my convertible. Now we'll take a long look at the installation process. A system of this magnitude is completely out of my league, so I turn to Ben and Wayne, two ace installers who also maintain Crutchfield's car...

They didn't have subwoofers in mind when they built your vehicle. Big bass sucks up a lot of power, and most car electrical systems aren't equipped to deal with it. A capacitor acts as a buffer between your amps and your car's battery. You connect the cap inline on the power cable from your battery,...

A good subwoofer will bring the bottom octave of your music back into proper balance, so you'll hear familiar tunes in a whole new light. It'll take a load off your full-range speakers too, since you'll be playing your tunes with the bass control set at "0" instead of "+5". Some people get turned off...

I was helping a friend get a stereo for his car recently, and he asked a good question: "Is installing a stereo really as easy as we say it is?" We used to say that a lot, and I guess the message stuck. In recent years, Crutchfield has been careful not to promote the idea that it's easy to install your...

I used to be a disc jockey at a local rock radio station here in Charlottesville, Virginia. The headphones of choice for many DJs on a budget were the Sony MDR-V600 . These were big, loud, rock and roll headphones. Their large vinyl ear cups did a pretty good job of making a seal around my ear, blocking...
