Well it's been a long time since I've been on these forums. Haven't been too into car audio for a while. I have a 2002 Mercury Sable now and I don't want to go through the trouble of installing a head unit considering this car has the automatic climate control system and an RCU. One thing I do...

No I mean I have to turn it down really quiet, almost as quiet as the sound of the record itself before the bass stops skipping it. What are these tracking force/anti-skate measures you speak of and what is this connecting the ground lead from the tonearm to the grounding lug? I have a middle...

So just recently I bought a record (12") from Hospital records and I've been having a little problem with it. For some reason every time there's a drum or bass section it starts skipping like crazy unless I turn the speakers almost all the way down. All my other records can get quite loud...

Yep, I hate supraurals and ear buds. I'm looking for wired headphones and something that's somewhat comfortable also.

So I decided to start looking for some really good quality headphones mainly for music but for some gaming and movies too, I have the non sound cancelling bose headphones (yes I know, lame) which are alright but I'm looking for more in the low end and better all around fidelity. What would my...

Around how much do you think it would be for a 93 sable?

Hey guys I was wondering how long it takes for these guys to ship their alternators once you order one. The alternator on my car just died and I need it as quick as possible.

The speaker isn't the problem, I switch the left and right speaker connections on the amp and the cutting out side switches. Can RCA's just go bad without any damage to them? If the amp has a bad channel will it cut in and out like that?

So for some reason today after having everything untouched for ~6 months my right mid decided to start cutting out. I noticed when I make a right turn it will go on but it will eventually cut back out. I checked every connection, RCAs at the HU are fine, RCAs at the amp are fine, speaker...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good pair of wireless headphones that can simulate 5.1 surround that would sound just as good as your average ~$500 Best Buy 5.1 system. It's starting to get annoying since I only have a few hours a day I can use my surround sound due to people sleeping .

Ok well I tried doing the ground loop thing on the amp and I got a weird screeching noise but I unhooked the wire from the ground and left it wrapped around the RCA's and now everything seems to be working 100%. Why would it work wrapped around the RCA's but not attached to the ground?

Hey so uhh, ground the RCAs on the amp side to the amp or to the HU?

The only problem I had before this HU was my kenwood decided to stop working one day, it just went extremely distorted one day, and it was the subs and the components so it was the HU. When you say try grounding the RCA's on the amp side do you mean ground them to the amp or ground them to the...

Awesome, thanks for that, now does anyone have any real advice for me?

So, for some reason I always have some weird convoluted problem that can't easily be explained so please bear with me. So for a little background, I bought a new Pioneer DEH-P880PRS and when I put it in I barely got any sound out of my mids (i'm running it in 3 way crossover mode) and I had no...
