Enjoy powerful bass with these two 12" subwoofers that feature 3000W peak power handling. The dual-voice-coil design provides enhanced output.

I'm a car audio hobbyist for 28 years. I have this setup hooked up to a Kicker ZX2500.1 amp in a standard coupe-sized car. The amp is pumping out about 2500 watts to this box. I've blown the Kicker subs twice, but they are the loudest and deepest bass-producing pair of subs I've ever owned. I make heads turn and other system bumpers envious. The bass rattles so much, that parts of my car are falling apart and makes my head vibrate enough to cause vision blur. They're designed for more of the low bass that comes with electronic or hip-hop music, vice the bass you find with rock music.
The subs are pricey, but they're designed for competition. They cannot handle the ZX amp very well at the max settings, but they've lasted longer on that amp than any other subs I've tested with the amp (Rockford, MTX, and PowerAcoustik; eat your heart out).
The one thing I do not like is the optimal space requirements to run the subs. This enclosure is designed by Kicker's specifications. Unfortunately that means most of my car's trunk space is consumed by the subs and enclosure.
Overall, if you have a good amp, and need enough boom in your trunk to make your friends jealous....I'd recommend this product.
What's great about it: Loud, Deep Bass.
What's not so great: Doesn't handle all Amps Types, Enclosure is large.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Use this interface cable to replace the factory-installed in-dash deck in your vehicle and retain safety and warning chimes.

According to how my car is manufactured, this device supposedly tricks the onboard computer into thinking the factory radio is installed instead of an aftermarket deck. That's fine and all, but now I have two sounds when my blinker is on, the door is open, the truck is ajar, etc. One coming from the car itself, the other coming from this device. I'm still not sure why I had to purchase this.
What's great about it: Works with my car
What's not so great: I'm still not sure why I had to purchase it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Install an aftermarket radio in your vehicle with this kit that is compatible with select 2005-2006 Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles. The ABS plastic material is contoured and textured to complement your vehicle's dashboard.

Per the instructions, some modification might have to be done in order for this setup to fit. What it doesn't say, that I discovered, is that some decks (radios) won't fit inside the dash as the setups suggestes. Therefore you have to modify the kit for it to fit. As for me, I had to flip the kit upside down in order to fit my Kenwood deck in my Chevy Cobalt. But so far it's holding up and looks nice.
What's great about it: Instructions
What's not so great: Didn't fit as directed
I would recommend this to a friend!

basic home use laptop with s cable connection
we want to buy a new laptop for basic home use, emails, etc; but want to hook it up to our older bigscreen tv that has s cable hook up so we can get rid of dish. What should we buy?
Most laptops are not geared towards use with older TVs. I would recommend a desktop with a video card that supports older TV hook-ups, or get a new laptop with an HDMI output and a new TV (which comes with HDMI inputs).
