I bought a crescendo bc2000 originally for my pair of sa12s. I also bought one of those big ass 2 ch crescendo c1600.2's.. I want to use the big one and do far I got a pair of components lmao. Seems a little extreme for them.. What if I run the c1600 to the subs? Since its class AB will it have any audible difference vs the class D bc2000? Might be a stupid question but I've only ran class D Amps on subs.

Has anyone ever had any success painting or powerdercoating an amp? If yes how did you do it or who did you take it to? let me know. please

Basically I'm planning on starting a build pretty soon and right now I'm doing my homework on headunits. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two. They are practically the same price(JVC is $10 more) and the JVC has a few more features like HD radio, 5V pre-outs, etc. But Pioneer seems to have a better reputation, so I'm not really sure. These seem to be the best two that fit my requirements as I need one that is around $150, has at least 4V outputs, and sub pre amp outputs. So which one do you guys think would be the better buy?

Not sure if anyone is really interested, but I got this today. It was a service drop off, we repaired the RCA inputs and the customer never came back. So it's going home with me. I've got some connections who can do a little something for me so we're going to cut a plexiglass sheet for the front and cut outs for the display and the fans, probably going to upgrade the fans and get the whole thing powdercoated.

holy crap they are making a monster too http://www.kicker.com/ShowPage.cfm?filenam...tml&menu=KXAMPS

I am doing the big 3 and i was wondering where the posotive post would be on my stock alternator? I have a 2010 malibu.

I am figuring on buying 2 15" Q. I am debating whether i should get the 1500zx kicker amp or the PA 4000 amp. I also need to know whether i will need a new alternator if i already have an upgraded battery and a 4.0 FARAD capacitor. I want the system to be loud, and not have to worry about blowing the speaker. Also should i get the 2 15"s 1 ohm or 2ohm if im going to be using one amp. Thanks

got a sa8v2d2 in my 94 grand prix and its running on a friends kicker dx250.1 at 4ohms. so maybe seeing around 150rms. way to little for this little beast. so which one of these 2 amps would be a better deal, or recommend me something. wanting to stay in the price range of thee 2 becauce I plan on upgrading to diff subs in a few months. and im trying to save for a x10 in my 99 grand price. kinda hard when no one wants to buy a lethal injection 12..... reason to go to a 10 is I want to save more trunk space, and I love the lows.

Hi i have a deuce and minilith that are not working, how much would be a fair price for each? Thanks

Between these two amps, PG Octane-R (4 channel)series and Hifonics Titan (4 channel)Series, which one will you choose???...

Well today my 5th generation ipod video decided it was going to take a chit. something involving the drive broke off and they want $150 to fix it. I have virtually no cds anymore so this is a very bad thing. I have a 16gb flash drive, and am looking for a Head Unit that has a usb connection so I can try to use this for music. I have never owned one with a usb connection, and am trying to find a quality yet inexpensive H/U that will serve this purpose. Also wondering if JVC makes any H/U's worth buying that do this?

Okay, So here in a few days I am ordering some Mach5 MAW-15's and I was wondering what Amp would be best to push them...... I have a list of some amps that I "THINK" would work good with them. So tell me what u think. Feel free to inform me of any amps that arent on the list that would be good for the MAW's Kenwood KAC-9103 US Amps XT-2000D Kicker ZX1000.1 Crunch PZi 1000.1 Hifonics BXi 1606D Hifonics ZXi 1006 Kenwood KAC-9152D. ~MadroX

does anyone make a 4ch amp this big?

I'm going tonight to purchase the amp listed above for 150$. How much do you guys think i could sell it for? Also would I be able to run my 15" ia 187 off it with the gain all the way down temporarily? Thanks for the help.

I think I might go full active, and I would LOVE to go the route of a 6ch amp. I was looking at the Audison VRx6 Direct, damn its expensive. I know PPI had a nice PC6600.2 back in the day before the DEI switch over. SoundStream had the Davinci (overkill for me, I dont need 7channels) Anyone have any other suggestions?

Anyone from europe have any experience with these batteries? Namely a brand called "hollywood" their SPV line seems decent for what i need it for. I thought for sure this forum had 1or2 guys from europe. I could be wrong though. Anywho its time for me to upgrade. My stock wet cell battery is going on 4 years in 2014 and i want to switch it out before it dies on me. The SPV35 and SPV45 are the models im looking at heres the specs. I can get these pretty decent price off ebay and ive seen them in person at the local car audio store here where im stationed and they look decent.

Hello everyone. I am having a problem with my amp and i am not sure why. I am running 2 in phase XT's (XTB212) http://www.inphaseaudio.co.uk/xt-range.php...;products_id=49 2 ohms X 2 1400 watts each about (900 RMS) I am running it off a 1800W Kenwood mono block amp http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/p...ts_id/5745.html wired in parallel (1 ohms) but after i turn the volume up to a point BOTH the 30A fuses on the amp blows i used to run these subs at 4 ohms and they worked fine but at 1 ohms they are like 2X better so any idea's why i blow fuses at 1 ohms.... i am quite sure my amp is 1ohm stable.. i also have a distribution block to run my 2nd 2 channel amp (400watt…

This is how my boat is wired as of now. 2 ga. from the alt (pos) and the neg. (don't know where it is grounded but most likely the engine somehwere). These are connected to the starting battery. Then I have additional 2ga cables running in series to the aftermarket stereo battery (a deka intimidator), off of this is where my 4 ga. amp wires run (pos and neg in the same fashion). My question has to do with the grounding. I would guess that it would be better to ground my aftermarket battery directly to some big ass piece of metal (but alas only fiberglass around) and the same goes for my amps. It seems that all the ground is running all the way back to the starting batte…

k im loooking for the price on a 12k soundigital amp thanks

http://www.keyrazyleds.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=62&category_id=7&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=30 it just a 12volt remote box with a wireless remote, i would like to know if i can use this on my amps? because it is original use for led light, but it just looks like its only input and out system so input do i put + and - of my back batteries? and ouput i put my + and - from my amp terminals? also do you think it will be fine if i add a stinger volt meter and another amp to the same box? (2saz3500's strapped voltmeter and maybe a 100.4)

I am interested in a four channel amplifier and have been looking at ARC, Sundown, and a few more. Has anyone compared the SQ of these and other amplifiers? Also, where is the Sundown amplifiers made? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok I dont know how old this headunit is but it is just sitting at my house. Any good???alpine cdm-9823

Hey guys, going to be replacing my "200a" alternator, why, because well, I just found out that it reaches it's peak at 5000rpm..lmao Anyways, new system will be ~2500RMS with a total of 260a's of fuses. 200 (mono) + 60 (2chan) What size alternator should I be looking at, would a 200a that reaches peak @ 1500rpm be OK? Or should I go bigger?

ive been intrested in a in dash multimeadia player and i came across these, i dont feel like spending 800+ on an alpine or pioneer, so i thought these should be just fine..right? anyway, i narrowed it down to these 2 and it got average reviews from circuitcity and crutchfeild, but i cant really tell what the difference between the 2 besides the fact the vm9512 has 5 more watts rms....any help?? thanks ~ROB~ http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...M9412&tp=75 http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...M9512&tp=75

right now i have a cheap h/u in. i am willing to spend about $400 for a h/u. who makes the best h/u for basic sub setups.
