ok and perhaps a swr-1022d type r 10" along with the mrp-f300? a side from that im going to need a wiring kit... do i need a harness to adapt to my stock deck?
and is there any way i can contorl the bass on the mids. on my dads truck i had a system with a stock deck. and everytime i lowered the bass from the stock deck it would also lower the bass on the sub. how can i control the bass to the mids apart from the bass going to the sub?

I actually put a little piece of Dynamat where the mirror clips on to the windshield. If you push the mirror all the way forward it will slide off and you can fit the dynamat under the little metal bars. This has greatly reduced vibrations for me. The mirror mount still slides forward at REALLY high levels of bass, but it used to just vibrate upward and become useless before.

Get an aftermarket head unit and install a proper aftermarket stereo system. Then you will have the control you're looking for. Other than that, you won't be able to do what you want with your OEM h/u. Sorry, but there are no short cuts for what you're trying to do.

its alittle piece that connects to your speaker wire going to the sub. you can raise/lower the bass going to your sub. therefore when you you lower the bass on your stock deck. you will only lower the mids bass, and wont pass through that box and affect your sub. i will try to find out more on it.

I'll say it again, you will not be able to do that. You might not realize this, but if you are using the OEM head unit, you are going to be tapping into the speaker output for an audio signal to your sub. When you reduce the bass going to your interior speakers on your OEM head unit, you also reduce the bass going to your sub. I don't just make this shit up and it's not a theory. Unlike most people, I actually know what I'm talking about and have the credentials to back up what I say.

I think you have something confused then. There are ways of increasing the output of your subs with a knob, but no way of doing what you're talking about.

This is a home audio question. I am pretty big into home theater and I have created in my bedroom what I believe to be a pretty bad ass system, just for tv and music. Still watch movies in the true home theater. I used to have a desktop computer that was hooked up to my flat panel tv and had a digital coaxial connection to my Onkyo a/v reciever. This was great to play my music through itunes. I have recently purchased a laptop and lost these capabilities. I was trying to think of a way to play my music wirelessly through my system with my computer. My parents have a lot of high end shit that i cant afford like a via dj and little touchscreens on the walls throughout the house that that control the music throughout the house. One i dont have that kind of money and two well i dont have that kind of money. My dad has no clue because he just used a free lance a/v consultant, but I dont have one of those handy except you Tim. Any ideas? My receiver is not network capable by the way.

I guess he has money to burn. I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs. Fucking amateurs. :

I think that I may have just found a solution. Sonos ZP90. Something like this would work I believe. Do you know any other cheaper options?

I use an Apple Airport Express to stream audio from my laptop to the home theater system in my living room and my bedroom and control it remotely with my iPod touch. I'm not sure if you use a PC or Mac, but would assume you could get it to work with a Windows machine. I'll try to test it out on my gf's computer this weekend since I only have Macs.

Quick question Tim. I am looking to spend no more than 250 for a used or new single or double din headunit with the minimum feature of 6 preamp outputs and HD radio ready or already installed... The rest would not really bother me all that much ... This link above, the JVC r800 has caught my eye and I dont think it's too bad... Plus I can make it match the colors of my dash
...
Do you have any recommendations from personal experience of just from what you know? Or any good places to buy? Maybe even members on here?

From personal experience, I have always had good customer service from Crutchfield when I have purchased anything. If you're asking for my opinion of JVC, that's another story.

I have the Pioneer DEH-7000bt, and it is awesome. It is HD ready and has 6 preamp outputs. It also has bluetooth, you may already have this, but it is awesome either way. It is $300 ON CRUTCHFIELD, but I got it for $200 shipped on amazon.
