Items Installed

Audio Control EQL
Audio Control 2XS
Rockford Fosgate P4004

Audiobahn AW101T

Installation Description

I began the install with 4-gauge power cable into a distribution block, then running into the amps.From the amp I ran Lightning Audio speaker cables in 12-gauge size. The Pioneer DVD system has Easy EQ which allows for easy tuning. The system is top nocth, and I have placed Third in Sound Quality competition the last two shows. It's all the way you install your equipment.

Q&A Section

Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?
I decided after being on the road a lot to have a way to entertain myself while I was not driving.

What's the first thing you show people about your installation?
I tend to show them the sound of the system.

Why did you choose these products?
I have had good past experience with these companies.

What was the most difficult part of the installation?
I think the most difficult part was determining where to mount the equipment.

What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?
To purchase the Q-Logic Kickpanel from Crutchfield.

The Audio Control EQL is hidden in the glove compartment.

The Rockford Fosgate amps have custom painted covers.

The Audiobahn sub is out of sight, but still delivers great bass.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit.
