ok so what is box rise and how will it effect me? thanks

a few, Circuit Breaker 300 AMP Reset / Self Test 12 Volt / 12V for 1 sundown 3000 at 1 ohm right? one under the hood, leading to the rear, then one in the rear before it gets to the rear cell's, then one more between cells and amp right? 300 amps or 200 thanks, these are better then normal fuses no?

ok more and more have seen people using lanzar for high power!!!!??? i see lanzar matched up with AA's and fi's RE's..... i allways seen lanzar at the flea market, and im just wondering .......... im i missing somthing or are thay?

So i blew my morel supremo's.. 440$. Nice. Anyway what other tweeters are out there that sound great but are cheaper. I was on madisound and was looking at other morel drivers. The tweeters are so much cheaper then what i paid for these supremo's. I still want to get them but they are expensive and now i am questioning if they are worth it. Any tweeter recommendations would be appreciated. I am running a pioneer 9800 headunit off a sundown 100.4 amp. My mids are SEA excel's.

I need a new alt cause im about to put 2k rms in my car. Already found one from excessive- 200A. Did the math for the amps, should be good. He includes diff. guages of wire, I knew I would need that but what guage? 2? He says that it should bolt right on, but is there anything else I need? What about fuses and their ratings? Since this isnt in my area im just going to have my mechanic put it in but I want all the parts ready to go cause I dont think his parts are as cheap as excessive's...

What brand would you reccomend. Or are they all about equal quality. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3926_Kicker+KI25.html http://cgi.ebay.com/STINGER-RCA-CABLE-MONS...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Tsunami-RTP8-94-17-4-C...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-KnuKonceptz-Karma-...1QQcmdZViewItem

i need a ho alternator for a integra but cant find one can anyone tell me were i can get one

will a stock s10 alt be able to hold the amps that the new 1500x1 fosgate pulls? i have a yellow top under the hood. should i buy another battery or buy a 200 amp alt?

Ok, Ive been lurking around here for about week now. Im in the planning phase right now, and Im already stuck/confused...not good this early in the process. Anyways, just need some input on how to get the most out of my budget. I dont have any experience in car audio or installation so bear with me. I llisten to mainly rock/alternative music with a little rap sprinkled in there. I have a 2003 GrandAm Sedan w/monsoon. My budget is around 700.00. Im planning on purchasing the JVC KD-Hdr1 HU and the harness which will be 200.00 total, leaving me with 500.00 for components/amp wiring kits/door deadeners (if budget allows)... I have some equipment that was given to me …

My friend has been having some system problems. At higher volumes his system would completely shut down. The headunit would turn off and then come back on. His volt meter has never dipped much below 13 volts. He has an alpine headunit with a kenwood mono amp and alpine sub. Any ideas and what is causing this or what could be done to figure it out?

Both Tweeters blew off a sundown 100.4. Gain was half way. 12 db slope. Volume 40/60. Wtf?

what does everyone think about this career choice? if anyone is in the mobile audio profession, what do you think of your choice? and is there money to be made?

Recently got a new car and i'm going to have this one for a long time. So i'm looking for a nice headunit. I've been looking into the double din types e.g. the pioneer D3, or Z2. Or the panasonic Strada. or whatever. I'm leaning more towards the pioneers because i can get them for cheap. Or possibly a JVC only problem is the jvc doesn't have navigation like the rest. Any suggestions guys??

i have an s10 and it has bags with 2 viar 380 comps and im getting a fosgate 1500x1 and wondering if i should get a 200 amp or a 160 amp alt for the truck. i belive the fosgate is like 140 and the comps pull like 30 amps. ive done the big 3 with 1/0 and got a yellow top this is the last thing to order.

Basicly, Im starting from scratch. Active. I need some good info on which speakers I may need. It will be a 2way. With 6.5/7s and small format tweets. I need a "good" h/u that can go active. Im sorta on a budget, not a tight one, but not anything OVER 1 grand. Cheaper teh better. Lets see what we come up with.

I'm going to be running a Sundown Audio SAE-1000D and an SAX-100.4. My stock alternator is 135A, I've done the big three with 1/0 gauge, I've got a 1/0 gauge run to the trunk, and I've got a group 65 Duralast Gold battery under the hood... Do you think I'll need a second battery or any other electrical system changes?

need your guys help this set- ups goin in my blazer im looking at the 2 15 btl fully loaded are the 2 15 sound splinter RL-s15. this would be for a daily driver and if you guys could help with a good amp for these thank you

I was just wondering if anyone had used copper ring terminals for the ends of their wires when doing the big 3. I got a bunch of them for free but am a little worried about them corroding under the hood. Also I have read many times that when you do the big three to leave your original alternator wire and run a second line directly to the batt, but the Hi amp alt (165) that I bought says never to use the original just pig tail it and run a new 4 gauge or better wire directly to the battery. Let me know what you think its for a 1997 jeep cherokee.

I have NEVER in my life owned a car, esp one with a trunk. I love bass but need room for storage, so I am thinking of putting a single 12" Fi BTL back there (charger). Will 1 12" sub ported be enough?? Will I be better off going with 2 10" BL's ported instead? I know this is a super dumb question, but I want to plan everything out perfectly before I start buying stuff. Thanks.

Okay. The box is 4 cubes @ 31-32 Hz for an Fi Q15. The box is strangely shaped because a spare tire is going to be standing up vertically behind the box to the right of the port. This was my plan. I was going to add 2 more vertical 2x4's to the right and left of the sub hole. The baffle, port, and vertical brace are NOT permanent yet. They haven't been attached yet. That's what's permanent. I was told the back wave is going to be fed directly into the port and that usually doesn't work well. Should I change my port? Anything else?

first off heres a diagram (all amps are sundown) team sundown ftmfw i planned on using my rockford symmetry but... anything car audio i consider myself very knowledgeable if im not in a area i will learn but... when it comes to processing i fail miserably i need to have front/back left/right fade capabilities... be able to control all crossover points... be able to control it remotely (thats y i liked the rf 3sixty was the pda)but its not suited for what i need to do. <i quess i could run 2 of them maybe 2 3sixty.1's if someone can make a diagram like mine except with the processing equipment included ill be glad to send 20 or 30 bucks (paypal) your way. all what ar…
