When it came time to put an audio system in my Chevy Tahoe, I looked carefully at all the brands we carried and after months of going back and forth with different system designs, I decided JL Audio was the way to go. I didn’t want to just replace the factory speakers with JL’s and I didn’t want to just put a subwoofer enclosure in the trunk. I wanted to build a vehicle where our master installer Tom Mangs could really stretch his legs. He was given the equipment I picked out and when he asked how I wanted it installed, I simply said “Make it different than anything else out there”. With no real budget or time restriction, I knew we would be in for a treat.

When we announced the return of the legendary Rockford Fosgate lineup to Ask the Advisors and Serious Autosport, we also brought in the newly designed Power Series of speaker systems. After hearing these additions, I can honestly say Fosgate has extended their reputation for quality and durability beyond just subwoofers.

For those of you shopping for a real good set of component speakers for your vehicle, I invite you to take a real close look/ listen to the Tempo 6 Series Components from Morel. These six inch component speakers offer much of the technology and sound quality Morel is famous for - but at a price standpoint, they will surely fit into any budget!

Occasionally, I come across incidents where car audio systems are being damaged without any clue to the owner, whether by over-driving components, maladjustments of the equipment or simply a combination of crappy equipment and stupidity. I’m going to review some common issues and offer some “guidance” if I may in the hopes that I might be able to save some gear- and ears in the process.

Following on the heels of the highly successful XW series of thin car subwoofers, the folks at Kenwood have introduced 2 new models that provide even greater performance, while still staying with the successful slim basket designs.
