So i came across this amp and its 260 3200 rms @ 1 ohm....Is it to ood to be true or what? has dual 1/0 inputs and 5x40 amp fuses. so like 2500 rms but still for 260 thats a steal! i think i might try em out...

Alright, today i went out to my Jeep Cherokee to upgrade my big3. The battery ground was simple, then i was about to do the battery to alt. Problem, there are 2 wires going out of the alt. and both go into the same loom(i think thats what they are called). Then I just start to look for the chasis ground point and i can not find it at all. So I am stuck, I am about to just say screw it. I know there are 1 or 2 guys on here who have a Jeep Cherokee, if they could help me out here, or if anyone has done work on Jeep Cherokee's to help me out. Thanks.

Some background: I have always been a Sundown audio and FI audio fan and those are the products I use. I purchased a 12" BL fully loaded and 1500D sundown to place in my 240sx, I have now upgraded to a 04 Acura TL. I cannot afford a new headunit as the products available are close to one thousand dollars. So, the box is built, the sub is ready, the wiring kit is sitting waiting to be installed. Now where im stuck, So, since i have the stock headunit I will need a line output converter. I am unsure how to install this and how it works. Also I am needing to disable the stock subwoofer. I have been reading about how the stock headunit lowers bass at higher volumes to protect…

ok so im going to have to fi bl 15s and im going to have them on a crescendo bc3500 and was wondering about the wiring. so for one sub i would have - to - and one - going out. then + to + and + out too and then the same for the other sub. and the amp has two +'s and two -'s and i put the wires from one sub into the + and - beside each other and the same for the other sub is that a 2 ohm load? sorry if its confusing tried explaining it the best i could.

Does anyone know where I can find a HO Alt for a 03 Kia Spectra? Ive searched around with no luck.

Well got a customer wanting to do 2 10s in a center console of an suv mainly for midbass . What iv done already in it is 2 sp4 18s on an ampere 9k . . 4 crescendo 6.5 neos (one in each door) and a supertweeter in each door . 2 ppi 900.4s (one for mids and one for tweets) dual alts. Northstar batts and lots of 1/0 . . . Just looking at any recommendations on what 10s and where to go about tuning the enclosure. . Iv just never had to build something just for midbass befor . . He was wanting to get the crescendo neo 10 because he has the 6.5s in the doors but not sure about that

Well, on the Fisher Customs site, there is an enclosure for sale for a HDC3 15", 4.02 @ 36 hz.. Then I look at their loaded enclosures and there is the SSA ICON 15", 4.0 Cubic Feet, Tuned to 32 hz.. I'm going for something more SPL, based. I love the lows, but I also like the sub to be able to go through the higher ranges nicely too. So I'm not too sure which to go with? Any opinions and experienced users of either with some stories would be nice. Note this will be in a Honda Civic 2005 coupe, I will do what I have to do to make the box fit... but if anyone else has a Civic I'd like to now how easy it is to fit 4.0 cubes in the trunk. I will be swapping vehicles after the…

Well, I got my L3's today and installed them in the kicks. I will give a very small review today on them and explain some stuff about them. They are 3in drivers with a good frequency range from 150hz to 10khz. Wide range and small driver that can do IB. I have mine sealed in a kick panel. Right now i've done a sine sweep on it from 20-20khz. The driver was hooked to a CDT SATNet 480 crossover so it only played to about 5khz or so. Driver didn't like anything below 120hz not saying it won't play it but it wasn't liking it from some of the sounds. It really excelled in the 800-4khz range which it really liked which means instruments and vocals are nice and clear. Mixed rea…

Window all the way down with hair blowing out of it, or window cracked with hair blowing out of it?(Just curious)

Hey guys, I’ve had this system for the past three months and I’m not very fond of it.. Especially the Kicker Sub. It doesn’t hit hard at all and with some low bass songs it sounds like I may be using a little boom box. I was wondering if the system that I have set up should be sounding great or if what I’m getting is expected from this kicker sub. In my old truck I had an Alpine type S 12” amped, not sure if my expectations are too high. Also with my amped Alpine Type R speakers I’m not getting any bass what so ever. Was wondering if that’s normal or if the guy I had set my system up tuned the speaker amp wrong. I have a Chevy Silverado 2008 Crew Cab. The s…

How are the RE SR's? i have 4 that i want to put in my 97 S-10 Blazer. My whole system was just stolen. i bought 4 because that's all they had. i intend to do 8 all together. Ported to 35Hz as they suggest. I had 4 Pioneer ts-w306 DVC's and that was LOUD. I want to be louder than that. I went with 10's because the sound cleaner and i can do more of them so the "show" factor will be a little better. And EVERYONE in Lansing Has "4 12's" and i wanted to be different and do 8 10's So what do you think? decent subs? i hope :/

Ok, so I have an issue with going active. I currently have a head of lettuce and two salad forks going to 4 carrots and two sets of cucumbers. If I were to crossover the carrots between 60-600 hz and the cucumbers to 400-10khz would this sound good on 60rms coming from my potato? Please I need help I can come up with 2 boiled eggs and some salad dressing if I have to, but i'd like to stick between onions and celery.

which are u running?

I can get a Tsunami 1/0 Fuse holder (new) with a 250 amp fuse for $20 Shipped. So I have three questions. 1. Is this a good deal? If so, then I need help answering a couple questions. 2. I currently have a 90 amp fuse and have a Cadence ZRS-8 doing around 1800 rms probably. I am pretty sure the 90 amp fuse is bottle necking the power (if I have my volume all the way up), will this fix the bottle necking problem by going to a 250 amp fuse? 3. Is 1/0 good enough for 2k rms?

I'm in the market for a new vehicle; and, I'm going to upgrade it. I have questions about today's vehicles: 1. I'm looking at a model that has push button start and factory remote start; what challanges are there when adding a partial or full alarm on it? 2. This model has the full sat radio/navigation/premium head unit and I wanna at least add better bass; what challanges are there in integrating to this head unit?

Ok I have a 07 dodge charger, i have a Fi BL 15. I want to build a box and have it walled off right in the middle of the trunk where the trunk mat splits to fold up. are there any websites or anything that can help me with the demintions and the build? also in the top of the trunk it slants down where they made room for the 6x9s. its my first time attempting this, so im kinda confused. well here are a few pics of what i want it to look like when its done, but i only have one sub.

I need a box design for under the rear seat of my truck but the thing is I don't know if I want to go with four ported 8's with about 600 watts a piece or two 10's ported with about 1000 watts a piece...which setup will be louder? And who is a good enclosure designer?

I was looking around on some forums and i saw http://www.****/forum/showthread.php?t=61103 I wondered why you would need that, so i looked at his build log and found http://www.****/forum/showthread.php?t=64796 Wow, well i guess i can't say Car Audio classifieds.So just copy and replace the "****" with car audio classifieds So this raises a couple of questions for me, i am still new to car audio, well the big league car audio anyways. Why does he need that many 1/0 gauge wires running to his sundown amp? I understand that maybe the resistance is less but still... Do i need to do something similar? Also, i noticed he has two sets of power, how exactly does that work? Is it…
