2 sets= 4 mids, 4 tweets, and 2 crossovers I was looking at the Alpine PDX 100.4, But i want other suggestions. BTW, the amp must be a minimum of 4x100watts. Thanks for the help! Joe

I bought a SAE-1200Dv2 and i have it hooked up... i am running two alpine type r 12s duel 4 ohm voice coils at one 1 ohm and the amp keeps shutting dow... it will play for a while and it shuts down and gos into protect.... i turn the volume down on my HU and turn it back up and t works... what could be causeing this...? any one know?

im so confused! so is a bass remote bad to use if you want ur subwoofer to be "quiet?" i know i know Who would ever want their sub to be quiet but im just wondering. ive heard it can hurt the amp/sub or it cant, i neeed answers!!

I have seen people talk about their products time to time, mostly the super tweeters, but does anyone have experience with the amps? The website says two year transferable warranty and the amps look similar to sundown, atomic, and a few other brands I have seen. I might look into purchasing two of those 3KWDs considering they are 550 a piece.

MTX re-Q, Fosgate's 3.sixty, JL's Cleansweep...there's a metric crap-ton of these Factory stereo processing units out there. Anybody got any experience with any of them? Are they even worth it?

all right, the stereo i want has been out of stock for like 3 months now, and im starting to wonder if it will ever be back in stock. my questions is, i want a flip up screen stereo, what are good brands? and i want cheap ones. if i cant find a cheap one ill just wait. i found some jenson but i dont know if they are a good brand, also fahrenheit is cheap but ive never heard of them. unfortunately alpine doesnt have any, oh i need 3 preouts, front rear and sub.

Everything working fine until just a second ago. Move the amp and battery around a little (Shuriken BT100 and RD 1750.1D) because they move when I drive which I hate and am looking to fix somehow...but pretty much all I did was increase the subsonic filter a little from like 20 to 23hz, turned the car on and no power to the sub........amp light is on no protection. Checked power connections and everything is fine. Fuse rating for the amp is 4x40amp but I'm assuming they are inside the amp as I cannot see them on the exterior. My only thought at this point is that when a small piece of wire protruding from the amp ground to the amp power that it zapped a fuse? I saw a spa…

So I saw the beast is apparently for sale now? Its on the order link, but didn't see it on the site earlier. Anyone willing to take the first stab at it and get us some results?

would running dbl power and ground wire to my aq3500 help me in anyway or is this just a waste of money? I saw someone else do this to his aq3500 and also I see some other amps already have the dual inputs. How about dbl up on power and ground on your batteries bank in the back does this help any? I'm just tring to get the max out of my aq3500 before I decide to upgrade or not.

Which is better to run to the amp, fuse or circuit breaker?

Has anyone used the TRYSTAR Flexible Welding Cable in any of your installs? If so is it a good wire?

amp : sundown sae 1200d v2 vehicle : 95 gmc gimmy small one like blazer problem : set the gain by ear, right at half way, and when i have my 15s turned way up, maybe 30 secs amp will shut off but come back on maybe 5 secs, it only does it turned way up after 30 secs continuously slammin and volt may go down around 8 or so and jimmy went dead some of those times. so what can it be????? need extra batt in back or what makes it shut off?? when i fix the problem ill post a vid under video section, loudest cvr 15s ive EVER heard for just 2 lol

Found thisamp while browsing ebay and did not know much about power acoustik as a company. Are they any good? Thanks, Matt Cusack

I´m not so god at english too start with cause im from Sweden! =) i´ve just bouht a saz-3500d and i´m wondering if i can load it down too 0.5ohm? At the moment im using it on 4 Audiotop 15.4 15" subs,and i had an Sundown 3000d before and the difference in preassure was really big and with the saz3000d i played 150.00 with music. But i´vw also bougt 2 Sundown nightshade 12" 2 * 2 subs and my otehr question is there any chance that i can play more than 150 db with the 2 Nightshade on the 3500d amp?

I am needing to upgrade my battery, but would like to know which setup is better since they cost roughly the same amount. First I will be running an American Pro VS-1407 and a Sundown SAE-1200Dv2. I plan to upgrade my starting battery. So would it be better for the car and the stereo to run a Duralast Gold up front and a Kinetik HC800 in the back OR to run only a Kinetik HC1800?

I was wondering what a good amp would be for 2 fi bl12's. i've looked at the sundown saz-3500d and the audioque 3500, i'm leaning more towards the audioque. would this amp work? and do you have any other amplifier suggestions?

So I'm pretty sure I'm getting knukonceptz wiring for my set-up. my set-up: 2 fi q12's fully loaded (subs) Fi: 2 sets of alpine spr-13s components (speakers- 4 total) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. 1 audioque 2200d (amp for sub) Audioque: Amps: AQ2200D 1 Alpine PDX-4. 100 (amp for speakers) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. So, for the Audioque amp i'm thinking about getting the Kolossus Flex 0 Gauge Dual Amp Power Kit ( 0 GAUGE DUAL AMP POWER KIT ) And for the Alpine amp I'm thinking about getting the Complete 4 Gauge 4 Channel Amplifier Installation Kit ( 4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit ) Does this Installation Kit include enough speaker wire for 4 speake…

Ok I got to thinking the other day about the way I wired my sub to my amp. I am sure this has been discussed before. But I have been unable to locate the answer. If it has I appologize now. The sub is an Alpine SWR-1222D and the amp is a MB Quart Discus 1000.1 Monoblock. The way I have it wired now is in parallel to 1Ohm with one set of wires to the amp on the outer positive and outer negative terminals. According to the manual that is for single svc sub. Is that way ok or should I physically wire each coil straight to the amp. As the amp automatically parallels both sets of terminals which would make this a 1Ohm load as well. Which way is better the way I h…

Hey guys I was thinking about going active with my mids and highs and before I buy an active x-over is it possible for me to band pass my mids with my HU front x-over (hp 80Hz up) and my amp x-over ( Lp 3KHz) can I do this or am I missing somethig. My amp is a arc audio ks 300.2 and has a x10 option 50hz to 5.5Khz

I have a FI BL12 fully loaded and need a new amp, and i was wondering which was better, the rockford t1500 or powerbass ASA 1500.1dx Patrick

Hey guys, I'm bullshittin' ideas around in my head about a temp daily set-up. until i do my BL What kind of electrical would i need for the set up listed below? I'm thinking a 350amp Alt from DC Power and a D3100 as a starter battery. AQ3500D.1 4 ohm power @ 14.4V @ 1% THD 1400W x 1 2 ohm power @ 14.4V @ 1% THD 2600W x 1 1 ohm power @ 14.4V @ < 1% THD 4300W x 1 AA SMD 18" RMS 3500w Also, if i were to double the equipment, could i still use a single alt and add another D3100? -- Or would that add too much then recommended stress on the alternator? Thanks guys!

YAY my sundown sae1200d and nikon camera. couple pics, also is this a sae 1200 V2? cause it just says 1200d i was jw

I'm going to install two amps one is mono and the other is a 4 channel for my mids and highs. I already have the power, ground, and rem wire, but the only thing is how can i get two rca's if my headunit only has one connection?

I'm new to car audio and i need help to figure out what wires and/or wiring kits would be a good purchase for me. My system: 2 Fi Q12's fully loaded (subs) Fi: 2 Alpine SPR-13s (speakers/ 4 total) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. 1 Audioque 2200D (amp for subs) Audioque: Amps: AQ2200D 1 Alpine PDX-4. 100 (amp for speakers) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. 1 Alpine CDA-105 ( head unit) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. I was looking to get wiring stuff off of knukonceptz.com but give me other websites please, and help me find all the wire i'm going to need. thank you

On my T1500, I'm wondering if I should leave the Infrasonic Filter on or off. It came from the factory with it off, I can't tell much of a difference with it on. Right now I've got the frequency set at around 110. I've heard everyone say to set it around 80, and it does sound a little deeper there, but on some songs, "Late Night Tip" mainly, there are some bass notes that are left out with it at 80. With it set a little higher, I can hear everything. I've got the gain set at 5, and the Punch EQ set around half way. Anyone think I should change anything? Just figured I would see what everyone's opinion is.
