Entertainment systems / Audio?

I've got you beat. Back in my younger days I mass collected over 180 days of albums

But I sadly don't have anything to carry all that around. I hate computers now.

 

I am still only at 50%(roughly) of the capacity of my 160gb classic...

 

Who said I stopped collecting? I've been spending time with my county library adding tracks for free...


I just added some 200 tracks today, in the process, I deleted some 100 tracks that either I found duplicated, or marked for deletion due to skipping..... ITunes has identified close to 2500 tracks that are potential duplicates( although iTunes might, I am not counting remixes/live tracks/studio tracks, or same song - different artist as duplicates ). I wish there were an easier way to do this, but I don't want to accidentally delete a track that I shouldn't.

 

Why do you go to a library to get music?

 

Now the problem is weeding out the true duplicate tracks I have..... Uggggh!

 

It's free at the library!

 

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 99.9 percent of the time, the factory head unit will not have rear RCA outputs, I have a 2016 Kenworth T680, I bought the standard plug ang play for aftermarket receivers, I bought the top of the line Kenwood reciever(HD radio, CD Player, SXM, Pandora, iHeart, 2 sets of USB for iPods or USB devices plus AUX input, and 3 sets of RCA outputs), I choice this unit because of audio customization, EQs galore, I am going for a total DB Drive system, already installed 2 DB Drive 12s located in the fridge cubby, running off of a 4,500 watt DB Drive Amp, bought DB Drive 4X6s for the doors, and DB Drive 6 1/2s for the rear, but I don't know how to remove the panels to replace them

 

To OP (FLC1) hope your still around and for other guys that may find this post like I did. I'm settling in with this company and time to upgrade. I worked for Petra Loudspeakers back in the day and learned alot from the head engineer, David. Proud of their subs I ran and enclosures I built to David's engineering genius. I went on to work at race car shop and did it all, nos, blowers, turbos, motors, gears, cages custom fab etc etc from street cars to 200k+ race cars. Anyway back to stereo stuff - great sounding audio is cheaper now days. With my experience and knowledge the best bang for the at buck is what I am putting in - Recently in market place Sony 160 watt CEA rated deck NO AMP NEEDED!!! Put in whatever speakers you like, Polks, 20 years later still got it and are still the best. I'm stepping up to the MM series from DB worth the extra money 6501 for front tweeters on pillars. Too many hours in the cab not to spend the extra dough. You won't be disappointed with DB though. Only caveat on deck is running a 10 gauge power & ground wire to it for obvious reason. Can't wait to get it installed. If you're audiophile as I, you know may not be able to live without a sub. I'll be installing a Fosgate 12 powered by bridged 2 channel Fosgate amp with sub in band pass enclosure which will slide under passenger rear cabinet port firing across. If anyone interested I'll post up and update progress and help with parts list and my opinions on stuff. Parts ordered for shower for the truck but that's another topic that I may share later. For now inverter and stereo for truck.

 

To make it short, can anyone recommend some relatively high-end replacement speakers for a Cascadia I will be in for al least a year, or what you/your buddy has tried? I don't need/want bigger amps, subwoofers, et al. Just want better sound quality for the road. They are obviously easy to swap out with a set of Torx drivers, and looks like 5.25" front, 6x9 rear. And will Chrysler wiring connector/adapters (from Crutchfield, etc) fit, to make the swap easier?

 

On my 2014 cascadia I Just ordered 5.25 pioneer 2 way speakers for doors and new pioneer head unit off amazon . Bought a plug and play adapter for the harness to make instalation a breeze . The original headunit is trash and speakers sound like tin cans , upgrade was needed .
