AmazonBasics Lightning Compatible Cable Meter

Purchased these speakers to replace the ones on my front door of a 2001 Chrysler 300M. The existing speakers were cracking around the edges causing buzzing. These speakers go in very easily. I removed the existing speakers, used the adapter that came with the new speakers, and used the original 3 screws from the old speakers to screw in the adapter. Cut off the plug from the old speaker wiring and wired that to the new speakers. Put a spot of solder on it but wrapping it would probably work. I then installed the new speakers. I did have to use 4 small screws (not provided)for each speaker to mount the new speaker to the adapter. I'm sure these are not concert hall speakers but the sound is perfectly suited for my radio and CD player while driving. These probably work on the rear doors as well but those are still in good shape for me.

Very Good Headset

Alpatronix Bluetooth Smartphones Notebooks Netbooks

Excellent sound, comfortable, simple and light.

I've been using them for about a week and I am enjoying them. These little headsets provide an excellent sound for listening different genres of music. The sound tends to favor a bit on the bass side.

The in ear nubs took a little bit of getting used to at start. After wearing them for a few hours, they are very light and you won't notice them anymore.

The controls are simple to operate, but took a bit of getting used to.

Using the headset to answer calls, the sound quality is very good, loud and clear. The mic does a decent job that captures some ambient noise for the other side. The one thing I would like to have seen on this device is the ability to activate the voice dialer on my phone so that I have true hands free operations.

Overall, the headset is a fantastic devices for listening to your music. The phone features are simple to use. The lack of ability to make a voice call from the headset could have made this a great headset for music and use with your phone. The price for device is great for a Bluetooth headset.

Impressive

JBL GTO638 6 5 Inch 3 Way Speakers

I purchased this Kenwood to replace the stock stereo from my '99 Altima. The radio was all static on my old stereo, though I knew that the antenna worked, so I wanted something better. This definitely is. I love how well it works for tuning into the radio, and it's incredibly easy to operate. The CD player works as should be expected, and the quality of the sound is great (I have MB Quart speakers, so the music's incredible in my car). I can't really vouch for how well the AUX IN or the USB work because I ruined my phone and it won't connect to any other devices. I would venture to guess that as soon as I replace my phone I'll find that both the AUX IN and USB ports work perfectly.

If you've got plenty of money to spend on a system, this Kenwood is a great buy and it's reasonably priced for being a double-din.

Metra 95 8204 Installation 2003 up Vehicles

Normally I'm not a huge fan of Sony products when it comes to audio quality. I own numerous bluetooth (BT) speakers, however, and this is one of my favorites.

This speaker is smaller than you'd think, but gets rather loud. It's dead simple to connect - just hit the "connect" button and find it with your phone and it pairs. No passwords, codes, no nonsense.

The sound quality is better than you'd expect for a small BT speaker, and amongst the best of any I own (the SoundFreaq SFQ-01 is still the best). It absolutely crushes the Creative SBX20 (which is $200), and is far better than the few tiny fist-sized BT speakers I have laying around. It's got good bass and midrange, and doesn't get too tinny like some other BT speakers get. I really, really like the sound quality.

The speaker also has a built in microphone for using it during phone calls. The mic is acceptable, though I really don't think it's something that I'll use much.

It's got a small square AC adapter or it runs on AA batteries, which is super handy for doing yardwork!

It also has near-field technology, which apparently lets you touch your phone to it and it pairs. I don't get the point (it's not hard to pair), but it's available (my phone doesn't have that tech).

Overall, this is one of my favorite BT speakers, and a great value at $79. Sony hit it out of the park with this one!

Nice products

TagsForDroid NFC Key Chain MIFARE

I programmed this key chain to switch my phone from my home WiFi network to my car's Bluetooth stereo. It does what I have programmed it to do. I tried more than one program for programming it until I found a program that I liked. (namely one that did what I wanted it to do!) I also ordered some of the sticker type product which turned out to be sturdier than I had envisioned from the product info. I may stick one of the stickers to the window mounted car dock in my car and find another use for the key chain. I like that the key chain (and stickers too as far as I can tell) allow reprogramming if you change your mind or determine that something isn't working the way you thought it would at first. No complaints. I gave two of these away as Christmas presents and was not told of any problems so I assume they liked them too.

If protection is your thing

OtterBox Defender Series Case iPhone

I had gotten a case from verizon for my iPhone 5. It was a good case. But, I wanted something to protect the front as well as the back. So, one day at best buy I was looking through the cases. I could not find any that did not have an open front. Then it happened. As if from a scene in a cartoon about a boy finding a sword, a light gleamed towards me. I was drawn towards this thing. It was as if I were gliding in the air. I found the OtterBox case. I had saw it on iTunes, and I think I added the blue one to my wish list. But here it was in my hands. I could not figure out how to put it on so I asked a girl at best buy to do it. Once on, all I was saw is WOW. It feels SO sturdy and strong. You put the phone in this little plastic case, then inside another harder plastic case. I am 100% confident that this will protect my $400 phone. You can clip it into yet another case that had a clip to hook on your belt on any place you clip stuff. It has a screen protector on it, so if you already had one as I did, now you have twice the protection. You can easily get to any of the ports. You just have to open the little doors they give you. The doors are very sturdy. All the connections can easily fit in the phone through the case. It feels great in my hands. I had read that people were saying the iPhone was to small and felt cheap. Not anymore it wouldn't!

This is one of those things you find that you will remember forever. After you get this case, I would think whenever you get a phone, this would be the only case that you looked for. It cost me $50. The price kind of made my eyes extend as if in a cartoon, but once you see it and feel it, you will understand. An amazing case to cover what seems so far to be an amazing phone. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Another fine product from Belkin

Belkin AV10096 06 6 Feet 3 5mm Coiled

I've been a fan of Belkin's products for several years and this audio aux cable is no exception. It is well constructed and durable. The coiled cord means it can get stretched to the length you need without cables laying all over the place, whether across your desk or in your car. This works great in the AUX jack of my car so I can listen to music or podcasts from my iPhone through my speakers. Note that the 6 foot length spec is a tad deceiving, although entirely accurate. Were this same cable uncoiled - yes, it's exactly 6 feet long - but with the coil, you'd have to strap each end to saddle horns and make your two horses pull in a straight line to get that length out of it. A reasonable stretch from the cable without over torquing it would be more like 2 feet. The coiled option is a convenience for cars. No one needs 6 feet in a car. I have plenty of 3 and 6 foot cables for things in my car that get wrapped around the gear shift and stepped on by passengers. This cord is not as long, but a lot easier to manage in that environment.

Poineer speakers

Pioneer TS A6964R A Series 3 Way Watts

These replaced the factory speakers in the dash of a 2000 Chevy S-10 p/u. They fit well in the factory location and the included trim rings allowed mounting in the factory screw holes. Connecting the new Pioneer speakers required cutting off the clips of the factory speaker wires and splicing in the wires included with the speakers. Installation was relatively simple, required no specialized tools and about an hour start to finish. The only problem encountered was the Pioneer speakers sat a little higher than the factory ones causing the factory grills to bow upward slightly... not really visably noticable just made it a little difficult to put them on. The sound quality of the Pioneers is noticably better than the factory speakers from high to low and they handle more power as well without distortion. Overall I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone wanting to upgrade factory speakers at a reasonable price.

X mini XAM9 R Stereo Capsule Speaker

I have X-mini speakers already and they sound amazing. This one is basically a smaller version of the X-Mini Max II speakers. Don't let the size fool you, it packs such an incredible sound that you will forget they are minis. I also love the design of this product. The accordion style speaker folds up and connects at the base using magnets and it comes with a travel pouch. I have used in various occasions, lightly just to get something more than my weak laptop speakers and also heavily during parties when I want background music and it performs incredibly for both uses. It has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts a long time and it can be charged through USB. I love it because I use it on my iPod, cell phone, laptop, PSP, and iPad. The universal 3.5mm jack makes it easy to use on virtually any device. This is a great companion to any mobile electronic that has a speaker. I definitely recommend this product!

Fit 2007 Toyota Yaris Perfectly

Toyota Aftermarket Speaker Adapter Corolla

These adapters fit my 2007 Toyota Corolla perfect. I seen some reviews that say the holes are not lining up and holes need to be drilled, doesn't make sense since these plates are designed to eliminate modifications.All you need to do is look at the plate and you will see one corner is shaped differently, this corner MUST be facing down and to the right as you are looking at the speaker from inside the car as you face the back window, when you do this the holes line up PERFECTLY, I found this out by installing the 1st plate with no issues, when I went to do the second the hole didn't line up, didn't take long to figure out why, but they do fit perfectly and would tell anyone who wants to upgrade to buy these instead of hacking your car up to "MAKE THEM FIT" Cheers!!

good product for the money

Pyle Pro PSTK103 Heavy Duty Anodizing Traveling

I bought a set of these from Amazon's warehouse deals page with a discount because of some expected damage. They showed up in pretty good shape though to my surprise!

I was expecting some damage to the items, but hoping that between the 2 of them that i would be able to salvage enough to put together one full stand. I bought these because I needed ONLY 1 stand with good height on it for mounting my 32" LCD Hitachi Flat screen to it. I use this TV in my studio so that everyone can see what's going on when we record and work on music. I needed something that was going to be sturdy and hold the TV high enough that everyone in the studio would be able to see it all the time.

Both stands showed up in good and working condition. They go up to about 8' tall and are perfect for mounting speakers onto, although I use it to mount my TV about ceiling height which is about the same weight as my speakers if not more. They work GREAT! I'm going to add some pictures of my creation when i get around to it, give me about a month....

Great for bluetooth

Dual AMB600W Bluetooth Receiver Weatherband

Not the best looking head unit, but it worked perfectly after installation. My specific is situation is that I already had an XM music signal from my chartplotter so I needed a rear AUX input for that, which narrowed down the options some. But I also wanted a front aux input so you could plug in your music device that way, and a USB port for charging my phone. Discovered the bluetooth worked great, picked up my itunes music from iphone with no cables at all, and did a find job as a handsfree device for receiving and making phone calls. Let's you set bass and treble for each input type. The unit clearly had some features added for marine use to help prolong the life on a boat. Was inexpensive for all you got. Even has weatherband which I also tested. Installed the Alpine SPS M600 speakers and they paired well and sounded good with a little bass and treble boost. So one unit gives you: AM - FM - CD - SD Card (did not test) - my XM radio input via rear AUX jack - front AUX jack - front USB port - Weatherband radio - bluetooth streaming - bluetooth handsfree phone operation with an iphone and it seems well made.

Wow! Great speakers...

Polk Audio AA6514 A 6 5 Inch Speaker

In short... fantastic speakers. Now the long version:

My previous vehicle ended up being "Polked Out" with their db and MM-series of speakers and subs. Wasn't by design, it just ended up that way. Over the years, i got good deals on their stuff on sale and ended up with a pretty nice little system. Well, my old car is... old, so the 19 year-old that bought a new Civic went car shopping again, 12 years and 210,000 miles later. I ended up with a 2010 Hyundai Accent GS 3-door. Unlike the Civic, which had an awful stock system, the Hundai wasn't too bad. It even came with component speakers in the doors. This isn't a revelation on modern cars, but given the Accent is on the low end of the price spectrum, i'm pretty impressed about what's in it.

I got the itch to upgrade again, so off i went speaker shopping. The Accent can swallow up to 2-5/8" of speaker (top mount depth) without running into the window glass. What makes the MM6501 really awesome is the fact it's a full 6.5" speaker, with only a 5" hole requirement to sneak the basket through. As it turns out on the Accent, the stock speakers are a bit smaller than 6.5" and the 5" hole was spot on for the Polks. The mounting flange on the Polks is larger and the holes are farther outward than stock. In my case, i had to file the holes inward a bit and still ended up putting the mounting screws in at an inward angle to get the right "bite" on the stock mounts. Not the way i normally like to put screws in, but i really didn't want to custom fab new speaker mounts. If your car has true 6.5" speakers, you'll probably be fine.

The cross-over has a 0/-3dB selector for the tweeter's "brightness." Unless you just love massive treble, go with -3db. These speakers have wonderful highs, even at the lower setting. Compared to my stock speakers, they sound fantastic. In my old Civic, i had Polk dB coaxials up front. These MM components put them to shame in both the amount of bass they're capable of delivering, but also the mids and highs you will get. Having the tweeters closer to ear level really makes a huge difference.

My EQ setting has gone from lots of bass and treble boost on the factory setup, to nearly flat with these Polks. The first couple days i had them, i thought something was wrong. I was listening to songs and hearing occasional weird noises in the background. I was listening to Tuesday's Gone by Metallica (Garage Inc album) and heard a few clicks/taps about 40 seconds into the song. At first, i thought i had a loose wire or something. I went back over and over and kept hearing it. I then went home and listened to it on my headphones. It wasn't as clear on my headphones, but darn it, it was there! I never noticed it before. I've heard this recording dozens of times and just never noticed it. These speakers bring out details beautifully, even details you may not always want to hear.

I find that recordings with good clean guitar sound just awesome. Layla (unplugged) by Clapton. Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. It's like i've never heard them before...

Alright, enough gushing about these speakers. As you can tell, I like these speakers.... a lot. I've never heard sound this good at home or in my car before. This is truly one of those rare product purchases where my only regret is not buying them sooner. At full retail, they're worth the money. At $180 on Amazon, they're a steal.

little, but loud

Kicker 11KS46 4 ohm 2 way Speakers

Like others, I have been in Apple land for the past several years. Been using iPhone since the 3G and I got bored of my iPhone 4. As I was looking for the latest and greatest, I kept hearing a lot of buzz about the Note 2 and gave it a look. What immediately attracted me was the 5.5' screen. It's very nice, very nice indeed. For those of you accustomed to the Retina Display of the iPhone, you will notice it's not quite as crisp as the RD but it still is an impressive screen especially considering the size of it. The S-Pen takes a little while to get used to and, once you do, it can be a very useful tool unlike other smartphones that have a stylus. The specs on this live up to the hype. The quad core processor is fast and the 2GB of RAM do help out a lot. I've noticed no lag or hiccups when viewing movies or anything like that. The only time I do notice any lag is when I'm viewing my photo galleries. The processor is trying to thumbnail over 8000 pics and its reading from the SD card so it's no issue with the phone itself.

Currently, Amazon has this for $175 which is a steal. I paid $300 for mine and, even then, I feel it's totally worth it. If you can snap this phone up for almost 50% off normal price, DO IT.

Wenzel Alpine 8 Feet Dome Light

I needed a sturdy inexpensive tent to camp in in the Nevada desert for over a week during Burning Man. This tent was perfect. It is a dome tent that held up to strong winds and sandstorms. Very well made. Very Easy setup using 3 poles and no need for directions. Strong zippers on door and windows. It came with a small gear loft "attic" that other tent companies sell as an accessory which was a nice touch. It fit me and a lot of my gear comfortably. Made for 3 but really would fit 2 with elbow room. Sturdy bottom with really no need for a ground tarp. A little to heavy for backpacking but ideal for any other kind of camping. It had an open mesh top that was not that large for ventilation which I had sewed up with white ripstop nylon to seal out the sand during sandstorms (recommended for the desert). Sealed up nicely vs the powdery fine sand. However, I did not encounter any rain with it. The rainfly just covered the mesh ventilation at the top of the tent. The seals worked great for sand but I am not sure how well it would it would be in a rainstorm, though my guess would be pretty good. I will be getting another one of these before they disappear!

Rich sound quality

Sony Bluetooth Wireless Speaker system

I like the Sony SRS-BTX 300. It is primarily a speaker set that allows the user to direct music from his smart phone, MP3 player or a tablet such as the I-Pad wirelessly (using Bluetooth) for a well amplified sound. Its twenty (20) watts of audio sound can entertain a group of people in a small setting like a standard living room. I own an elaborate entertainment system but when a few friends came over to watch baseball (instead of a concert on DVD) we spent the half hour before the game enjoying music from the I-Pad over these Sony speakers. The audio is impressive.

I received a phone call from another friend on his way while music was playing and with the push of the speakerphone button the call was directed into the speaker system for all to hear his message-he was stuck in traffic.

The SRS-BTX 300 has an internal, rechargeable battery that makes it portable and good for eight hours when fully charged. It can also be plugged into an AC outlet for use. And it is itself a charger of other devices, using a USB cable. The beautiful speaker system has a side stand which when released also exposes a number of function buttons.

The speaker system weighs about 5 pounds and comes with a carrying case. The weight is not an issue with me and that is because I suspect the technology that enables it to generate audio of this quality calls for heavy parts which will ensure longevity. Five stars for the "300".

Even better than Bose QC15s

Technica QuietPoint Noise Cancel Headphones ATH ANC9

My office is in my home. I am extraordinarily distracted by sound of all types (children playing, sirens, phones, music, trucks passing by, you name it). I also have someone on the other side of my wall who runs their TV loud all day long.

I've used other noise-cancelling headphones with some success, and sometimes just wear the type of earmuffs you would use to park a jet or run a chainsaw. These Audio-Technicas beat everything. They have three settings (#1, for example, is for the low frequency, if you're flying) and they filter out everything except nearby conversations, which are dampened down considerably. Just about zero noise comes through from the TV in the room next-door.

They are fine as audio headphones, so they're great if I want to listen to music, but I wear them just for sound-blockers too.

A single AAA battery lasts perhaps 24 hours, I would estimate; the ad says it can run for up to 40 hours. They also come with a very nice hard case.

Amazon had these at a discount, 100 bucks off, so I invested my Christmas cash gifts into them - no regrets.

I've had this phone for a few days now and have absolutely fallen in love with it! I moved from iPhone 4 and was a little worried about the size of the phone. But now it just seems normal. The screen is enormous!!! It eats iPhones up with room to spare. It responds super fast and has awesome features. I can't put the phone down. Battery lasts forever! I had to actually make myself play with it until about 1 a.m. after a full days use just to get it down to 5%.

If you're coming from an iPhone without any experience with a droid. it might be awhile before you get the hang of the different OS but it is well worth it! S-pen features are great! This phone may actually make it past my next upgrade date.

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing other than you have to pry it out of my hands.

Cons: nothing other than you have to pry it out of my hands.

Responsive and Powerful

Samsung Note II Android Titanium

I had an iPhone 3GS that kept getting slower with each OS update. The battery finally died after nearly 3 years. I originally tried the first Note phone in June and the touch screen software was clumsy while the pen was uncomfortable to use.

The pen has pressure sensitivity and I use it to draw with often. It's got a good camera, and the native software do their jobs well. It's good enough for anything I can think of so far, and I'm very happy with its responsiveness. It's a great piece of hardware on the inside, however the outside visual aesthetic is boring (aside from being thin, grey, and smooth) but that doesn't matter if you buy a case. I have a serious case of man hands and this phone feels right.

And Google maps is awesome on this phone. One of the biggest reasons why I chose not to go with the new iPhone is because of their sub-par Apple branded map app. I am astounded how manly leaps and bounds Google maps is beyond the Apple Map app. I am very glad I switched, and I am very happy with this piece of hardware. I got a blue tooth headset two weeks after I bought this phone, and I feel like I am in the future now.

Ion Audio Tailgater Portable System

Bought it as a impulse buy since my family and I were going camping and had no tunes, bought it at Walmart and when we showed up camping we pulled it out, it was fully charged and we immediately started playing sublime. It sounds good for a mono speaker boom box, bass lines were audible which is rare for boomboxes, we started using at noon and it kept going til 10pm without plugging it in to the generator. It charges while plugged in and it even charges the iPhone 4s no problem, I didn't know you could play the fm radio and iPhone at the same time since we wanted to hear the soccer game and listen to music at the same time. Also as a added bonus we could use the line in AUX input and the iPod dock as a simple mixer to go from one song to another from two different iPods. Overall I give this thing 10/10. Worked damn well for camping.

Tenergy Bluetooth Receiver connector bluetooth

I bought the older version of this a few years back, and recently wanted to upgrade to something with a line-in input for a MP3 player. The older version is essentially identical, except it's blue instead of white, and has no line-in. Unfortunately when I bought the older one, I didn't think I'd ever care about being able to plug in a "fragile" MP3 player on a jobsite. As listening habits changed over the years, I've gotten sick of being at the mercy of local radio programming, and really wanted a MP3 input, so time to upgrade.

I didn't really want to buy the same basic radio over again to get just 1 new feature, so I first tried one of the new Milwaukee jobsite radios. Multiple shortcomings with the Milwaukee led me to return it, and just get another Makita I knew I'd be happy with. Advantages of this Makita over the Milwaukke are:

1) Size: The latest Milwaukee is absolutely huge. The large size is a pain to carry around, and takes up way too much shelf space for workshop use. I'm not sure why the Milwaukee is so large as it is not noticeably any louder than this Makita.
2) Tuner: The Milwaukee is advertised as having an extremely sensitive digital tuner. This was the main reason I tried the Milwaukee, since I live about 50 miles from the local city radio towers. It doesn't live up to the advertising, and struggled to pull in stations more than 20-30 miles from me. The Makita tuner is much stronger, and easily pulls in stations the Milwaukee struggled with, and can just barely pull in the stations 50 miles away that I'm really after and the Milwaukee couldn't get.
3) Buttons/Knobs: The Milwaukee has only up/down buttons for the volume and tuning adjustments. These buttons require a firm, individual push for each incremental adjustment, and are really a pain to make large adjustments. The rotary knob on the Makita is far easier to use.

Loving This

Hercules WAE BTP02 Portable Bluetooth Black

I love this speaker, I use it in the kitchen to play Pandora on the iPad and it rocks the whole house. I think it has great sound quality and it was very easy to connect to the iPad. I like that it's always cooperative when I use it (the iPad and the speaker talk to each other without my needing to do anything).

I selected the Hercules WAE-WBT06 at the same time as selecting this speaker and the WAE-WBT06 is also pretty awesome. But I prefer the WAE BTP02 for a few reasons. I like the size of this speaker better because it's smaller than the WBT06, it's still fairly big but it's not too big for my space. I'm not a big gadget and gizmo kind of person and I don't care for big huge electronic devices as decorative accents in my home, so smaller is better when we're talking about big black speakers. I also like that this speaker doesn't seem to get as much interference as the WBT06 model and that very well may be my fault somehow. I have this speaker on the kitchen counter and it sits back in an alcove but it gives out great sound. The only think I don't like is where the on/off button is located on the speaker. It's in the back toward the bottom in a location that is hard for me to reach.

My family and I have been enjoying this speaker since the moment is came out of the box. It was incredible easy to set up and it has great sound. I'm thrilled to have it in my home.

music from another planet

Live From Mars

The stock Alpine radio/tape deck in my '97 BMW 328i finally died and I chose the CDE-100 as an inexpensive upgrade. I like that it plays MP3s, has CD, USB, and audio inputs providing maximum media flexibility.

Installation requires 2 extra parts: a BMW wiring harness and an antenna adapter. I bought the following:
+ Metra 70-8590 Radio Wiring Harness for BMW 90-02 Power/4 Speaker
+ Metra 40-VW12 VW Antenna Adapter

The BMW harness wires match all but one wire from the Alpine harness. NOTE - match the blue wire on the BMW harness to the blue/white wire on the Alpine harness. This is the Remote Turn On wire/Amp wire.

I soldered the harness wires and wrapped them in electrical tape. Once complete, the rest of the installation took about 5 minutes (the old radio had already been removed). I powered it up and inserted a CD full of MP3s. The stock speakers sound better than ever. I am very happy with this unit! The total upgrade cost about $110.

Sound is balanced again!

Sony Wireless Speaker System SRS BTX500

I own a 2000 Honda Accord that has, or rather had, the six speaker factory sound system: a CD player/stereo, a pair of rear deck mounted full range 6 X 9 speakers, a pair of door mounted full range 6 1/2 speakers and a pair of tweeters mounted way up on the dash near the windshield. (These tweeters are part of the front speakers and are wired in parallel with them, by the way.)

Audio-wise, I updated pretty much everything, including the car stereo with a brand new KENWOOD head unit, the rear speakers with a pair of SOUND ORDNANCE 6 X 9 speakers, and the front speakers with a pair of these Pioneer full range 6 1/2 three-way speakers.

As for the tweeters up near the windshield, I left them alone, and both still sound just fine even with these new speakers and KENWOOD stereo.

(I also bought a pair of Metra Honda/Acura Speaker Adapter Harness Connectors, so I didn't have to cut the Accord's factory wire harnesses. Check them out here at AMAZON.)

Installing these speakers in the front doors of my Accord was a breeze. They fit perfectly. The bolt pattern lines up perfectly with the factory mounting bracket. And you don't have to modify or cut anything. The Accord has a mounting bracket made of plastic that surrounds the back of the speaker and acts as a noise suppressor; and these Pioneer speakers are shallow enough (just like the factory ones) where you don't have to modify the bracket by cutting out space for the magnet. KUDOS!!!

As for the sound:

They sound pretty good. I just started listening to them, so I should probably not comment too much as they have not been broken in just yet. But so far, they really compliment the sound coming from the two rear 6 X 9s. The rear speakers pump out some good bass and create some great highs, where these pioneers fill in the mids beautifully. Together, they all create quite a pleasing full sound that's balanced out very well. I couldn't be happier. Highly Recommended!!!

JBL Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Black

Some of the negative reviews make me laugh. Yes it works while plugged in. Leaving it in your pocket and walking more than 30ft. Well any Bluetooth will lose signal.
It is the best sounding little speaker you can buy. The jam box and Logitech UE cannot even compare to the Flip's quality. The half volume on the flip equals the max volume on the other two devices I just mentioned.

UPDATE 11/28/12- JBL's support gives conflicting advise on charging. Listening to music while plugged in is OK. It will charge and not impact the battery life. It's a rechargeable Li-ion battery that doesn't loose memory. My battery experience has not lived up to the advertised 5+ hours. I have only received maybe 4hr at the max. I've tested for over a week now. I plan on replacing with another device as suggested by JBL's support. One JBL support person said I "Overcharged". Not possible on the Li-ion.

Optima 8012 021 FFP YellowTop Group Battery

I've been through several transmitters/chargers for my iPod and always, it was the sound quality that I wasn't satisfied with. The FlexSMART has alleviated that. I've had no difficulty with interference (rural and urban areas) as I travel. The fit has not been an issue and I've had it in several vehicles. My iPod fits snug and secure with a protective case attached. The only issue I had was initially: the tip of the end that plugs into power source fell off and disappeared before I realized it as I transferred from one vehicle to another. I had an older device with a compatible tip that served as a replacement (I did have to be careful with it). I responded to the follow up email from the company with this dilemma to ensure they were aware of this and they were more than willing to replace the parts at no cost. I do love this device and appreciate the excellent customer service. I would purchase this device - or any that may suit - from this particular company.

Radio Adapter Transmitter Charger iPhone

I was debating between buying a four channel amp and a two channel or buy this Jl audio 6 channel amp to run 8 speakers(pair of polk audio 6.5 inch MM series components, a pair of MM series 6.5 coaxial and a pair of 6x9 MM series speakers) in my new 2013 altima and after hours of researching online and asking friends, I went with this JL Audio amplifier and I am more than pleased with this amp. It has alot of juice and very clear. The speakers that came in my 2013 altima were crappy and I knew that before I bought the car but I had the speakers to replace the stock ones already plus I wasn't willing to pay the extra $$$ to buy the next trim level that came with bose speakers. I took my car to a local car audio shop and they installed this amp with the 8 speakers to the factory radio and it sounds amazing! Its a night and day difference:) Now I enjoy driving my car more since the sound is amazing and next purchase is going to be two 10 inch subwoofers to complete the audio system for my car.

USA PA11 CHR INTEGRATION CHRYSLER VEHICLES

Installed in 45 minutes in my 2006 Jeep Liberty. Sounds great well worth the investment. Some pointers :
1) Does not come with instructions on how to remove the factory radio unit. Look in youtube for a short video clip
2) You do not need to buy the plastic wedge tools like I did. Use a plastic knife or be gently with your screwdriver to pry the console unit. (step 2 after remove screw in youtube video)
3) You must put car shifter away from console (park) in order to have room to have work with. Put on parking brake.
4) When removing screws holding radio, make sure you hold on to them while uncrewing otherwise they will fall down and be lost inside console.
5) You will not be able to pull out radio far enough to see back of unit. Feel with your finger where the hole to plug in and try before you know which way plug is up or down
6) I routed the usa-spec wire on the right with the other factory wires to reach the glove compartment.

Turtle Beach Gaming Headset Xbox 360

I am a pretty serious xbox gamer, but I've never been the best because I always had the regular chat headsets. I would keep buying cheap headsets, but they would break after about five months. However, this one is much better.
I was going to buy the Turtle Beach EarForce X12 Headset, but It was a little too expensive for my budget. After looking in every store and on every website, I finally found the Turtle Beach Ear Force XLa.
I couldn't decide wether to buy it or not, but after reading the reviews I decided to take a chance. And it was definitely worth it.

Pros:
Lightweight. After hours of playing you can barely notice it's even on your head.
Easy controls. The controls are located on the headset, which means there doesn't have to be a giant box hanging on the cord.
Great sound. The sound quality is great! I can hear things I have never heard before!
Nice durable cords. The cords are long and durable so you don't have to worry about them braking.
Great mic. The boom mic is designed so that it will only pick up the sound coming from you, and not anything else in the room. GENIUS!
It's thirty dollars instead of sixty.

Cons:
None.

Well, that's all I have to say. It's a fantastic headset for a fantastic price.

Pioneer TS A1674R A Series 3 Way Speakers

Love this product bought it a s a gift for my girlfriend, I installed myself in her car, I never installed anything electronic in my life!!! but it was great!! the box has no INSTRUCTIONS!!! but if I did it (female 32 yrs old) I'm sure anybody can.
I started by looking on youtube how to remove the door panel. Remember I never in my life did anything like remove something on a car; so very hepfull by the way, and then I look (also youtube) how to install speakers, althought were not the same ones I purchased it gave a very good idea of how to do it, so it took me like 1 hour for the first one between the door panel removal (that's what took me longer) and figure out how to attach the new speakers; I had to drill new holes; but took me 10 min. to remove all and install the second; anyway I like the experinece installing this things I think now I'm capable of a lot other things I never think possible, I used to believed I was car iliterate, not anymore!!!!
At the beginnig thought it was too hard to do it by myself but all you need is a screwdriver a drill and patience : The sound is impecable love it love it love it!!!

Great Upgrade from the Note 2 or S3!!

Samsung Galaxy Android Phone Black

Got this device and can't put it down. I am an avid smartphone user and get almost everything that comes out. Had the GS3 left that for the Note 2 (currently also own an iPhone 5).

At first I thought I was going to miss the 5.5" screen of the Note 2, but after using my S4 I am adjusting very quickly, due to most of the features included and the screen quality.

Air View is great, being able to "peek" at info without touching your device.
Air Gesture is another useful feature as if your reading an article and eating, you can move the page with a flick of the hand (or finger). Even better when driving, because you can wave the screen to answer the call.

The camera, while megapixels aren't always everything, this phone definitely beats the Note II and GS3. I have been looking for a great android phone camera to rival my iPhone 5 and I think I have found it. The new features, Drama mode to stitch pixs together, as well as dual camera to put urself in a picture are EXCELLENT. The ability to do sound and shot also is another plus.

The overall look (even thou not premium compared to the HTC ONE) is definitely a step in the right direction as its not a plain black or white. The subtle aluminum bezel makes a nice addition.

The new features as part of Android 4.2, such as customizing ur notification shade quick settings and putting personalized text on ur lockscreen, in addition to the much welcomed, music player widget on the lockscreen. FANTASTIC!!

Battery Life, so far I am averaging about 14-16 hours on med-heavy use which is acceptable for the screen size/quality.

Overall very satisfied with my purchase at full price, really contemplated over the last week with getting the HTC ONE, but it's the little things that matter sometimes; a feature having it, just in case one day you decide to use it. Battery percentage in status bar, quick settings in notifications, traditional app drawer are all to be appreciated. This phone is fast overall, you will not be disappointed...

Awesome Little Stereo

Pioneer X EM21 Stereo System iPod Dock

Music has always been a huge part of my life and after moving from a large house to a small apartment about a year ago, I no longer had room for my two full sized stereo rack systems. With most of my collection in CD form (I dislike Ipods although have a first generation model that I rarely use) I found I could not stand the silence any longer and purchased the X-EM21 Micro CD/FM Stereo mostly for the CD player. I could not be happier. It was so easy to set up as the speaker plugs are modular and my small apartment is filled with the sounds of my favorite music. For such a compact system at a reasonable price, the quality of the music is very good. I listen primarily to classical and meditative music and from the lows to highs the entire range is clearly discernable. Since my Ipod is so old and nearly dead, the bonus was the discovery that the unit can play music from a USB flash drive so even without my Ipod, I have access to my entire Itunes collection. The unit appears well made and not junk like other small stereo systems and I could not be happier and unlike another reviewer who had trouble with the remote, mine works fine. The auxillary, earphone and USB ports are right at the front of the unit so they are easily accessible. Thank you Pioneer for creating a great product that does not cost an arm and a leg and can meet the needs of folks living in very small living spaces! I am looking forward to many hours of happy listening.

Samsung Galaxy Android Phone White

I didn't purchase this through Amazon. But I had a Galaxy S3 and I was due for an upgrade so I figured I would switch to the HTC thinking that S4 couldn't be much different than the S3. I was totally wrong!! I love the fact of being able to run your TV through your phone, I loose my remote all the time and this handy feature helps me out. Also, the fact of using two apps at once helps great esp if you text a lot and browsing the internet. The picture is amazing. The screen is a tad bigger also. The battery life for me; which all depends on the user, is not bad at all. It also charges quickly. S Voice is a whole better than the S3 and Siri from the Iphone stage that I went to for a couple of months. Overall happy with my uprade/purchase. If your looking for a great phone, get this one!!

2013 2013 SCION Custom Shade Shield

When I spotted this for less than I can pick up competing deadeners I jumped on 2 boxes to do my 09 accord rattle trap. I went front to back in key areas with dynamat. There's no reason to full cover with a deadener, just find resonant spots and fix them. I also installed a solid layer of ensolite from the top of the firewall(oh how I hated removing the dash) all the way back, in the doors, and behind the headliner. A marked difference in outside noise, and the inside noise is oh so sweet.

I've been using dynamat products for the past 20 years. I've tried several times to be cheap and use alternatives, such as second skin, raaamat, and brown bread, but always seem to find myself back to dynamat. The modern butyl deadener isn't quite as effect as the old brownish asphalt stuff, but unlike the asphalt there is no stench, it tolerates heat very well, it weighs less, and it is FAR easier to install.

Lanzar MAXP4260 4 Channel Mosfet Amplifier

I'll make this short and sweet, just like this amp. i recently replaced my Dual amps with the kickers. Dual was pretty good and the kickers of course were better. Then i had the chance to hear this one, so for the price i thought i would try it. Bad ass, way better than my kicker amps-I was shocked. So i have donated the kicker amps. And also purchased the gm-d7500 pioneer. These little amps stay cool, not even warm. Man can they pound, and are so clear. Makes you wonder how some of the other guys can justify their outrages prices. Also my son is running the JL audio amps, and now is trying to sell his so he can get theese new pioneers, they rock hard. TRY THEM AND YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED-NO BETTER AMPS OUT THERE FOR THE MONEY AND QUALITY. power is what they state if not far more. and this is truely a 0 distortion amp. UPDATE- Thought i should give some more detail so you can realy apreciate just how good this amp is. I am running it in 4 channel mode from my clarion head unit. Channel A is driving 1pr 6x9 kickers (300 watts each) and 1pr 4x6 (250 watts each) so pulling 2ohm load on channel A. Channel B is driving 1pr kicker 6x9"s (300 watts each). On both channels i have the gain just barely turned up from its lowest position, thats how awesome it is. And it still drives all the speakers with pounding capabilities. Hits great highs, mids and lows. After returning from a 3hr trip today, reached down to feel the amp, and i couldnt belive it. cold like it wasnt even on. This thing is just awesome. and we puonded it hard, my ears were ringing for the next hr when i got home. Well done to pioneer. couldnt beat the price, got it when it was $160 I wanted to update you just how great theese amps are, i now have 2 of the gmd-8500's added.( for 2 kicker cvr 12 inch subs) Main thing is no stress to the trucks electrical system or battery, and my lights never dim. So i had to speak with pioneers tech dept to see what the deal was (all my other amps, kicker, alpine and jL always dimmed lights and strained the system) well pioneer has some realy sweet new technoligie in the gmd series where you dont need to run a capacitor. Its amazing other companies have not figured this out. been doing systems now for 30 plus yrs and theese are by far the best and underated amps out there today. ( hate to boast to much or they will start raising the prices) Anyway never been a big pioneer fan but on theese amps they hit a home run. Unless you are spending over $1000 bucks you cant beat theese. Have now purchased atotal of 14 of theese amps for family and friens. And not one complaint, everyone just loves them. I love pulling up next to the young'ns who think they have a competiton system, then over powering them with volume and sound quality. funny to see the thousands and thousands they spent and to be envious of mine. Anyway keep on rock'n,rapp'n, whatever your flavor is. ( i love all kinds of music if its good) Remember music is food for the soul, and theese hard times we all deserve quality without having to take out a loan. lol P.S. sorry this is not showing up in paragraph form. when i typed it, it does. but not when it post's
