Car Audio: Questions About the Bass in My Car

[Arojekt]

Okie dokie... but before you laugh your socks off at my ride, I want you to understand that I didn't have to pay for the car, unlike my last one...

I drive a Dodge Grand Caravan '98...

Go on, get it out of your system. I don't feel bad. REAL MEN DRIVE VANS AND ARE NOT ASHAMED!

Anyways, this thing is ten years old! It's losing it's ability to do many things, including working the air conditioning and the right front passenger window is jammed... Yeah... it sucks living in North Carolina with the humidity rape in the summer.

As I intended to write about... car audio. I have a pretty basic question. My bass tends to come in and out sometimes. If you turn it to a certain level of bass on the basic EQ or in volume, it'll kick on. That spot varies depending on some unknown factor that I've slimmed down to the time and day... (meaning I have not figured it out at all.)

It's not blown, that's for sure, because I've blown many an amp, and it doesn't sound blown. It sounds like their faulty wiring or a fuse blown that just so happens to "touch" or spark together at certain times when conditions are right.

Question: Are there fuses for the bass speakers, alone, in the car, or is it a deeper problem, and probably deals with wiring?

Question two: I have just recently grabbed my hands on a bass amp originally designed for a TV or audio system... can they be wired into a car, still?

Question three: Can bass amps, ones for bass guitar, be put into cars so that you can play both guitar and music through it? If so, I'm definately doing this!

Thanks guys.
