Answers
1)   Ummmm.. Sony Amps Aint That Good.. I Would Reccomend A Hifonics Amp 2000 Watts - Richard

2)   What is the RMS wattage and ohm's of the Pioneers? Find an amp that can run the same or slightly higher RMS wattage at the same ohm's as the subs. - das.frettchen

3)   you did not state the ohm-age of the subs and if it is dual coil or single coil. if it is a DVC at 4ohms then the four subs will add up to .5ohms and you will have to do some series, parallel hook up to get 1ohms and you will need a Hifonics BXi2008D amp. and earplugs - jas`s812

4)   I would find a 2 channel 2 ohm stable amp and run each channel on a pair of the subs. I'm assuming they are 4 ohm like most subs are and a rms rating of under 300. You gave the peak power rating on the xplod and thats not a accurate way to measure power on a sound system. Another way you could do it is wire all the subs in parallel and get a 1 ohm stable 1000rms one channel and use that, scrap the xplod. - strokeouchvy

5)   if the speakers are 4ohms SVC you can series parallel wire them and bridge it and then you will run a constant 4ohms or you could you put 2 on each channel that will drop it to 2 ohms , only if you have a 2 channel 2ohm stable amp and the speakers are 4ohm SVC , and Ive did 4 on a 1000 watt amp before and worked just fine. - Adam

Question 2
what is best box and size for subwoofers?...  I need to know what is the best sounding box and how big for the subwoofer sizes (8,10,12,15) if i buy a 8,10,12 or 15 inch sub how big of a box do i want and what type(sealed,ported)? i want the most bass i can get out of 'em LOUD BASS!! answer for all, and i am planning on putting whatever sub i get in my room.

Answers
1)   Each sub is made for a certain enclosure, you have to check the tech sheets for a recommended box. The sheet will include how much air space is needed for optimal frequency for a sealed and ported box. It all depends on how much space you have and how much you really want to spend. If you want hard bass get higher rms rating speakers. One competition 12 with 1500 rms rating on a ported enclosure with a matching amp should be sufficient. If you want more the you are looking for a spl competition setup and in that case you have to consult a audio designer that can build you a custom box to meet the demands you are looking for. - strokeouchvy

2)   first all brand name sub woofer don't carry the same cubic size. a pioneer 8inch will not be the same as a MTX 8inch and so on.as for enclosure. it all depend on the vehicle type. a porter box will sound well in the trunk of a car and the slot port will sound well in a wagon.to get the most bass you must have enough space to get that loud bass - jas`s812

3)   If YOu Want It FOr Your Room. I Reccomend A Ported Box It Gives You More Bass Than A Sealed Box... - Richard

Question 3
Is there a eject button on the inside to manually eject a cd if one is stuck inside a car stereo?...  2005 honda odyssy has cd stuck in stock stereo and want to manually eject the cd, i know some have a button on the inside of the deck that will let you manually eject a cd if the outside button isnt working.

Answers
1)   I don't know what brand of CD player you have, so it would be impossible to tell you exactly how to eject it manually. I would look in the manual. - RaWen

2)   As with all cd players etc if you look very close you should see a very tiny hole about this size(*) get a paperclip and straighten the end then push into hole and it should release. That's what the hole is for.

Good luck! - Hong Kong Mike

3)   Yupp Hong Kong Mike is Right.. There Should be A Tiny Little Hole Nest To The CD Insert.. Push It ANd The CD Should Come Out .... Try Looking For information On Google.... (Pictures) - Richard

Question 4
Running amp power cable outside of vehicle?...  I'm about to order everything to put a new sound system in my Jeep Wrangler and I've been planning the locations to run new wires and cables. I got to looking at the area's where I could run the power cable for the amp and have come to 2 conclusions. I could either drill a hole in a very difficult to reach but hidden area behind the dash and try to hide the cable on the interior of the Jeep all the way to the rear where the amp is.. or, I could run the cable inside the hollow frame rails (which have many pre-drilled holes to slip the cable in and out of) under the Jeep and then just drill a hole to the interior in an easy to reach location near the amp. My only concern is that the cable's insulation will breakdown and crack prematurely due to exposure to water and road salts.. is this a real risk if I run the cable on the exterior of the vehicle? Or will the cable hold up just as well as any other cable such as those in the engine compartment? Thanks for your help!
I should have mentioned that my Wrangler has no carpet, the interior has been lined with a truck-bed liner so there is no real way to hide the cable on the interior. This is one reason why I have considered running the cable on the exterior.

Answers
1)   Honestly I Would Run The Wire Inside The Truck Why? Because The insulation Of The Wire Is Gonna Wear Out., And You Never Know A Sharp object Might Cut Your Wire And Cause A Short Or Even A Fire...



I Would Run It Right Next To The Seats Under Neath The Carpet.. - Richard

2)   Keep it inside. Run it under the sill plates and carpet (or rubber flooring).



If you put it outside and it wears through the insulation (for what ever reason, elements, chaffing) it could cause a serious problem, even a fire, as it would be directly to the battery. - Charlie T

3)   You'll have no problem running the power wire thru frame rails the cable is designed to weather the elements under the hood so it will work under the car just make sure to secure it solidly in as many places possible so it can't droop and snag on road hazards - Travis

Question 5
is this a good deal for these subs. im using 10s for rock music?...  is this a good deal, here is the url

Answers
1)   i would say dont buy them. XXX audio is not any good anyway. for rock music your gonna want some better subs. I listen to almost every type of music out there. I would go with alpine subwoofers!! i have 2 12" R types with a 1000watt alpine amp. some alpine stuff can be a little pricey but you can find used stuff for cheaper. if i was you i would buy 2 10" E types with a 500 watt alpine amp. they will still hit really good and sound very clear with all rock music. hope this helps you!! - shortshack

2)   Short answer no. For rock music depending on the type of vehicle you could do some name brand 6x9 speakers on a small amp. If your looking for some bass then go with one bass tube here is a link

The second is if you want a complete system. It's a matched set so the hard work has been done. It's a better brand than the one you linked. - strokeouchvy
