ok, well this topic says all things music related... and thats music related so i wouldn't consider it a wrong section

I found a good deal on a 99 Mercury Mountaineer that I would love to use as my audio vehicle. I was wandering what the demensions of the trunk are to see what the biggest box I can put in it is... If anyone knows the dimensions it would be greatly appreciated. If I'm not mistaken, the 1995-2001 all have the same body. It is also a 4 door. Thanks!

Well I went out there and flipped around the speaker wires on the amp output and now it is working as it should and it's back to normal volume. I really don't understand the whole situation, but it works again so I'm happy. Any suggestions on finding the short though?

I can tell that there is no excursion. The sub goes in and it seems like it never comes out to where it's level with where it sits not running.

Well first off, it was wired professionally. I'm not sure why the head unit shut off but I just realized, at the same time, my speedometer went to the max and got stuck there. So it's a good possibility that it's a short. I just don't know where to look next to fix the problem. And I'm wandering, if i switch around the speaker wires, will it change the polarity back to normal and play correctly again? And I haven't checked the phase. And it's in a ported box.

I have a new RE SXX 12 running off a new Arc Audio KS 1200.1. Everything was working fine and all of a sudden my head unit shut off and turned back on. After that, it's like my polarities are reversed on my sub because it's pulling in instead of pushing out and my sound output was reduced by quite a bit. It isn't near as loud now. My question is, is it possible for the polarity to get reversed without the wiring changing at all? If it matters, the head unit I'm using is also a brand new Clarion VX-401. So I know that all of my equipment is good. Any help is appreciated.
