    Hi there, my name is Jim, and I'm new here. I can install but conceed I know very little about the science of what I'm doing, therefore I'm looking for a little help in optimizing my current project as it is different, and of course budget restricted. The project; I am currently refurbishing a boat, it's a '93, 21' Reinell Sunliner bowrider with Chev.305/Mercruiser I/o. I have a Rockford 15, and a sony xm-405eqx, a Alpine 9886 head unit I would like to use, also a pair of energy 4" coaxials. I am wondering about the Crescendo Super tweeter and 6.5's. Knowing I need more amp as well, at least another two channel. My goal is to fill this boat area with as full spectrum as p…

    Navid's Expo demoing yesterday at a competition in South Florida. 10 15" Crossfire XS V2 on 4 Crescendo Audio BC5500D. Mids and Highs are the PWX on the Concerto Series amplifiers, it was loud and clean. The bass choked me out a little bit. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

    I finally got my bc2000d in and was so excited. I replaced my Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdcp using all 0 guage wiring new XS Power in the back, stock alternator. Everything was gravy with the Fosgate. The new Crscendo diD NOT impress me at all.... Actually it was VERY lackluster, sounded like crap.... No bass , no power at all.... Sounded like a 300 watt amp compared to the Fosgate. First thing i noticed was the bass knob wasnt working. And the amp clipped every so often. The gain is barely at 1/4 and the bass boost, subsonic were off or at the lowest setting. Lpf set at around 80hz. Still sounded like garbage even without the remote knob Called crescendo and they shipped…

    Ok I would like a new amp or a refund for my c1100.4 The day i received it all it did was protect..even with JUST rca's in. I changed rca's and everything checked all speakers (4 crescendo 8's and 2 cendo super tweets). It plays for a little and randomly protects. I call you guys and you tell me I need another battery JUST to run this SINGLE amp. So i got the battery STILL protect. I switch from high pass to low pass...guess what? Protect. I send the amp to you guys and you say it's fine and send it back to me , but I had the same problems when I received it again. I SEND THE AMP AGAIN. you guys say the 3rd channel went out due to low power and tell me i MUST have a secon…

    I ordered two FT1 4ohm tweeters and two PWX-8in mids 4ohm. Well the 8's that came are 8ohm.....Should I try and make this work or just send back for the 4 ohms? The amp is a Alpine PDX 4.150 and does rated at 4 or 2 ohms.

    Ok, I bought a 2k last June-July and started buying the other stuff for my install. So long story short I got everything installed Monday. At first my amp was fine it protected one time the first day I had it, but I thought that was because I hit a big bump on the freeway. Tuesday I was heading back to the shop that did my install for them to finish my big 3 or 5 actually. So as I went to leave my amp protects. I restart the truck and start beating on it again and 30-40 sec later it protects. I call Navid and he says it might be my Bass Knob so I unplug it and beat on it with the car off and it plays fine. I played it for a min or two fine. Then I go for a drive with the …

    I was just wondering if you guys could maybe list all products that are immediately available and pricing on each item as well in the meantime while the new site is being worked on. I always recommend the products but can never show locals the products without chasing down build logs which can be tedious while mobile and on the fly.
