| Speaker static/hiss? Likely your amp. | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question @duramax747 It sounds like you are set up and ready to go and with personal care and attention are likely to get a better build quality than most factory speakers. As for the crossover and speaker design, you are trusting the guys on the DIY boa... | |

| Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great I'm shopping for a new car. Volvo isn't on my list but audi is. One reviewer said the Bowers and Wilkens stereo on the Volvo is better than the B&O in the Audi which I am looking at. Sounds like your HK system is the consumer grade system ... |
