    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 …

    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…

  8. I recently purchased 4 Crescendo 6.5 UN speakers and 2 FT1's. I also bought the Skar 125.4 (not gonna wait all year for Crescendo amps). I got the crossovers for the tweets. I have no idea what kind of crossovers to get for the 6.5's or if I have to. I've never done a 4 channel set up so any help or tips would be awesome! Please dont make smart a$$ comments. I'm new, no help othet than YouTube and I would like to be able to do all of my own work.

    I'm looking to get a few FT1 tweeters and FT1XOVER's i know the tweets come in 4 and 8 ohm loads and the FT1XOVER are the same, 4 & 8. my question is does the FT1XOVER's load and tweeter load change the Ohm? or do i simply match the ohm load for the FT1XOVER and tweet for the desired ohm load?

  14. What is the best way to flush the FT1's to the door panels? How should I wire them to the S800.4? They are 8 ohms each and will also be running pwx 6.5 as well which are 4 ohms each. My plan is connecting the front right channels from HU to channel 1 and 3 and left front to channels 2 and 4. Which the tweets with be running on channels 1 and 2 with mids on 3 and 4, with stock rears running off deck which I will upgrade down the road.

    Hey Guys. I originally posted this on **** but I know not everyone that's a member here is a member there too, and vise-versa. So, here's something a little cool we did w/ my bc3500's, which are what I have pushing my 18's. I just wanted to take a moment & post a couple pics of my Crescendos. I have 4 bc3500d's, 1 bc2000d & 1 c1100.4. I reverse mounted the bc3500d's & did a clear plexiglass bottom. Kinda like the old Pheonix Gold or USAmps. Then I added some blue leds to jazz them up a lil, especially at night. The bc2000 & the c1100.4 are never seen so nothing special done to them but I'll throw up pics of those up as well. Not the best pics but I'll get …

  16. Well after finally getting a chance to install my new C1100.4 I had a terrible hiss with it that only got worse as the gain went up. So far I have tried swapping everything around the amp to eliminate it them from the problem except new rcas and I haven't tried it in another vehicle. New Rcas will be here today, shielded and all. I have swapped HUs I have Tried both sets of channels Amp is ground directly to battery Gain High or low high. Tried a different amp and don't have that issue (I have low level noise but I believe its a source unit problem) Amp does have the HPF on and set to 5khz, which is what I need to actively run my tweeters. Other amp which I have no probl…

    ok so im looking to get one of these but im really confused about them. it says they are a mono block amp but yet they have ++ and -- speaker outputs? i want to run two dual 2ohm fi bl 15s off of it and im wondering how to get a two ohm load. wiring them in paralell is a 2 ohm load but some people are saying that its a mono block and it doesnt have ++ and -- speaker outputs and that the picture on the site is just a different one but i didnt think so and i understand how to wire them if it only has single + and - outputs. just very confused on how an amp can be a mono block but have dual outputs? im no wiring wizard..

    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…

  21. Wondering on average how much true amperage the bc3500d draws at 1-ohm. I've heard everything from its 300 amp fuse load to half the fuse rating to one third operationally. Electrical wise I am currently running a 275 amp singer alternator with a yellow top under the hood and one xp3000 in the trunk. Voltage ranges from 13.5-13.8 on a clean signal and drops as low as 13.2 once I start clipping which I know consumes power and produces excess heat. The alt does around 200 amps or so at idle. My question is what if anything beyond my current electrical would be recommended for this upgrade. Thank you in advance for any information. Phil

    Anyone having a lot of trouble getting through to anyone? I place and order 2 and a half months ago and still havent received anything, tracking number says nothing about items being shipped. Tried calling numerous times and sent so many emails, still nothing. Its become an absolute joke I've paid almost $1000 and dont have any of my items, any help would be great. Tried emailing : international@crescendo, sales@crescendo, they were quick to reply when I needed to know postage but now its impossible to get anything from them.
