i've got a crossfire vr2000d thats supposedly been modded to be .5 ohm stable and handle high voltage. it has 2 hookups each for power, remote, and ground. these all need to be hooked up right? how can i test the amp beforehand to see if i can run it daily at 1 ohm? it should do around 2800x1 @ 1 ohm, and i'll be using 1800-2kw of that for my 12's, so it wont be running full tilt but about 2/3. anything else i need to know before firing up this beast?

Changed from the Ppi Pc 4800 to the Ppi 300.4 i got this as a gift from my Friend Jeff

UPS showed me some love yesterday before I headed into work. Refurbished and doesnt have a scratch on it. The only thing is it didnt have a birthsheet....so I may take it somewhere this week to get it benched. average birthseets range around 320rms x 2 @ 2ohm which is how I'll be running this on 4-4" Dayton midranges.

what would be a good choice for an amp for type r. im not to sure what im going to go with yet. either two 12"s or one 15". any suggestions? thanks.

older 4 channel I have I might sell, trying to find all the specs on it help a brother out?

As the title states im looking for a new digital multimeter for a few reasons. I was looking on amazon and i see they have them ranging anywhere from $5 all the way to $200. I dont really know the difference one would have over another but im willing to spend anywhere from $10-$25 as its just for a few purposes here and there. If anyone has any options on a good decent DMM feel free to post them here as it may also help people in the future to decide which ones to get. Thanks in advance

Hey guys I just got my truck and it's a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Ext Cab. I ordered a Pioneer AVH-P4200 to replace the stock head unit which is a din and a half but I will cut some of the benzel to make it fit. My question is that I cant find any mounting kits/bracket for this truck for a double din and was wondering if there is some easy way to make one or if I could buy one somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Right now I'm looking for an amp to run a single 12" under rear seat of truck. Sub is a rockford fosgate p3, Thought I would poke around on here before asking questions ...

Ok, so ive had my 8053 for about two months now and I am completely in love. so in love, I was telling my girlfriend the other night that if my truck ever caught on fire I would actually take the 8053 out before saving anything else...lol I wanna add XM to the truck, no need to try to get me to pick sirius they dont have Baseball. My dilema here is that my favorite team (Oakland A's) is on the West coast and I am on the East coast, that also kinda helps because I work the 11pm to 7am shift and I could bring the radio in with me and continue to listen. I am looking at getting the XM MYfi because I can take it everywhere I go. So I guess my question is what do I need to ho…

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

I tried searching but couldnt find a definitive answer. If I wire three dual 4ohm subwoofers to my one ohm stable amp it will see a final ohm load of approximately 2.67ohms. Specs of my amp are as follows: 600@2 ohm and 1000@1 ohm. So at 2.67 the subs would see less than 600 watts right? I was hoping to get closer to the 1000 watts but Im not sure it will be possible. And to explain my situation a little, I got excited one night and order two 10" Black Fiday subs before I realized they were dual four ohms. Thanks for any help too.

The other day I was just minding my own business, coming home from work, and all of a sudden my car's mids and highs just stop, and my car fills with smoke. Now I'm out a four channel, and the outputs on my deck burnt up, so I JUST have bass to listen to for the time being. :l Anyways, I just need a two channel to run my Type R 6.5 components up front, so they can keep up with my fifteens Previous products that you have used: Blaupunkt 470 is the only Fourchannel I've ever used. Budgetary constraints: Somewhere around $400 max. Vehicle which the equipment will be used in: 2001 Jetta, only powering one set of components. Musical preferences: Dubstep and Rap. System goals:…

I've been going back and forth between buying amps and i cant decide which one i should go for. I'm looking at either getting a refurbished Rockford t30001bd or a refurbished Autotek mean machine 4000.1D. I cant choose between the two and i need to decide soon can anyone help me choose which one to buy.

Hi everyone got a quick question.which year did this cadence z7000 amp come out at. I remember buying one of these 3 years ago off ebay and end up getting my car broken into and lost the amp but I could never figure out which year they made this amp in the picture.

Anyone worked with AudioQue before? They have impressive stats but what do you get for the seemingly impossibly cheap price? I want to unload my old school Lanzar Opti 50C for something better for my BTL 18 but I don't want to spend a ton either. I know power is coming down in price but I don't want a piece of chit that falls on it's face when I need to feed my sub what it needs.

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?

Im getting a second battery soon for my truck and i was wondering how to install it. I know you wire positive to positive ans neg to neg but after i wire the batteries together do i run a wire from the second batteries neg to the ground spot on the amp? And i just wire the 2nd batts positive to the power on the amp right? I also plan on grounding the alt case, and both battery negs to the frame. Good idea?

I have 2 american bass hd 15s an starting off with a crecendo 2000d till i get another one.i have 1 redtop opt i want to put under the hood an a yellowtop opt in the trunk.i want to no will i b ok with this bein thats its 2000watts or should i do more ?

Has anyone had the opportunity to use one of these amps? Cadence ZRS C-1 I am looking into upgrading mine, just trying to work with a budget. This amp is for sale for $389 free shipping. I am using a 18" IA DR New Edition in a 7.6qft enclosure tuned around 30-32HZ. Any advice or comments would be appreciated. Thanks JW

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.

I'm wanting to go with a 3-way active system in the SC sometime in the future. I already have a Pioneer 880 and a 10" SSA Icon. My question, though, is about signal. I know my HU had 3-way abilities, but is that for a tweeter, mid, sub set up? If I want to go tweeter, midrange, mid bass, and sub will I need an external processor?

Should i use a Kinetik 600 Power Cell in my install for my front stage? -- Will it help with my voltage? OR! Will it strain my Alt? I know its only 400wrms.. but i have the Power Cell already. (2) Alpine Type R 6.5 component sets (1) Alpine PDX 4.100 KnuKoncpetz 4 gauge amp kit Yellow top as starter batt. 1/3 Big 3 done. (Batt to frame) Stock Alt -- 80-100 amp (not too sure)

I'm just wondering what are the pros/cons of using a dry cell battery, than a wet cell battery. I need to get a couple of batterys and need to know the differences between the two so i know what to buy.
