I recently had my subwoofers from CF professionally installed. They are Infinity 1052w subs and CF stats showed minimum air space of 0.75. My enclosure has 0.8 per sub, so cutting it pretty close. I purchased 1 sq ft of polyfill for each sub and after my install was done the installer had not used the...

The all-in-one rear mount DVD player (Audivox) has died in my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The monitor works flawlessly and I would like to keep it. Would it be feasible to remove the Dodge's factory stereo and replace it with a DVD player and push the video through the auxiliary input of the Audivox? The...

His father bought a budget amp/sub combo I had never heard of the amp (it's a 400 watt one) however I think the name was something like "audiobass" and the sub was a 10inch kenwood. I don't know which one specifically however, he needed the room in the trunk of his grand am so he unplugged it and moved...

Electricity's like running water. You wouldn't run a garden hose from your well to your house, because not enough water would get through to keep up with demand. That's why you don't want to use cheap, undersized power cable to get power to your amplifiers — the amp will be starved for power when you...

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...

As you've probably heard, Feb. 17, 2009 is the date that all analog TVs will need to be connected to a converter box in order to receive over-the-air TV broadcasts. Many of the people who rely on airwave broadcasts are those who are least able to cope with the challenges of a DTV converter installation...

My very first accessories post was about the S&G wire stripper . I've decided to retroactively make it the start of a series. With “Installer’s Toolbox” I’ll talk about the accessories that help us all with car stereo system installation. I already own most of the installation tools that we carry...

There's more than one way to skin a cat. At least that's what they tell me. I'm just going to take their word for that, but I know from experience that there's more than one way to strip a wire. First there's the bad way — with some needle nose pliers, trying to squeeze lightly enough to cut the insulation...
