I just purchased two eclipsee 88120 subs in a dual chambered custom box in which each chamber is tuned to 34 hz. The subs are dual 4 ohm, so they can be wired down to a 1 ohm load together. But, since the box is dual chambered, I would have to remove the ports and drill through the divider, which I would rather not do, to achieve this 1 ohm load. If I were to wire each sub down to 2 ohms at its own speaker terminal, filling both terminals, what would be the end impedance for both drivers?

Whats everyone running for splitters? i have a Kenwood head unit with 3-preouts and i have them ran to my Clarion Eq which then runs to my soundstream amp. My problem is the shitty walmart splitters aren't holding up whats a good set of splitters to get?

Im running a crescendo 3500bc at .5ohm looking to make shure im getting the most power with the least resistance, trying to invest in dual 1/0gauge inputs but unsure which one's will fit.

Other option they offer is http://www.teamproje...0-adapters-pair

So, I'm currently in the process of setting my gains for my 4 channel amp and mono amp. I've been researching on how to properly set your gains using a digital multimeter, and it seems like every forum and website tells you a different way to do it. The SSA forum stood out to me and made the most sense about gain setting, but it still left me with a few questions. My first question is should i set my gains for the 4 channel amp first or the mono, or does it even matter? When i set my gains for the 4 channel amp i will be using a 0 dB 1000Hz test tone, but what i'm not sure of is what settings should i use for my head unit? A lot of people say to set everything to 0. I'm …

Okay, let me start off by saying I've installed a countless number of CD players in cars. This is the first one I've had trouble with, and also my first Pioneer. I bought an 880 off of ebay a while back for about $200. I initially installed it in Octoberish. It would work fine when I normally had the car running, but when I switched my lights on it would cut in and out every second. I attributed this to a couple of wires being switched. (The first wiring diagram I had was wrong.) Well I eventually got this fixed by switching the two wrong wires. My CD player would now work with lights on and off. However, when I would switch from on to off my CD player would cut o…

Which amps (beside JL's Slash series) have auto turn-on feature???

I ordered all my wiring, blocks, fuses from Knukonceptz. Great prices, quality products and good communication. Tell him Pete from CEG recommended him to you - might not get you anywhere, but who knows - .

i finally made a decision on a sub to go with. im going with a SSA Icon in a ported box, 4cu@33hz and would like some help tuning the amp so i dont tear up another speaker right away. I'm goin to set the gain according to the tutorial on the jl website but need help with the other settings. i already know to leave the bass boost off lol. i mainly need help with the infrasonic filter(infrasonic freq.,"Q",Center freq.) i assume the LP freq should be set at about 80hz correct me if im wrong tho. should the slope be on 12db or 24db, im guessing 24 but could be wrong there too lol. also as far as the lp and hp filters on the head unit do they even have any effect on the amp? t…

My alt is stock with a crescendo batt and the problem is when it's cold out side it idles at 14.4 volts but when it's warm out side it drops down to 12.9 at idle...what could it be...battery, alt or what.... My electrical so far is crescendo battery logic 31, 2 runs of 0 gauge from alt and big 3 with two runs of 0 gauge to the amp

I have some 10g speaker wire laying around. Could I split it in half & use 3 single strands for it & the remote turn on?

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 ...

I have a G190 and wonder how clean it is, I replaced amp and drivers when I dropped it in so could not compare much. I had a nak and it was really clean. Just wondering if I should swap it out as I can not get the new HU I want yet. Parametric on this alpine works nice. My highs are lacking and I think it is the amp, but wanted to ask what luck others had running one of these. I went to this for the fader and parametric it has, and still can do all my crossovers and gains from driver seat.

So I am off on my way to school when all of a sudden my car decides to play games with me...Ok so I let it go but then it kept doing it and over and over till it got a little serious. It started to reset the head unit by turning it off and then back on. My engine check light was blinking repeatedly. My ABS lights came on. And my power steering gave out but some how managed to come back. I called my brother up and he told me that I should clean all the ends of the wires and clean the terminals of the battery up front. So I did. Works like it was never even broken. Then after driving around for a half hour seeing a movie with my girlfriend, we chilled at her place. She nee…

Would i need a 4 channel RCA to run 2 amps and 2 subs?

Is this a good hu for a system I got an aq2200 and btl n2 18 does anyone have one that could have some input or could anyone tell me the pros and cons.

So i have an orion 300w amp model t475. it is plenty amazing! except the bass boost button just distorts but every other option is good and it seams under rated. But a while back i put it in my friends car and forgot about it. so it was pushing 1 15 and 2 6x9s and she said it just stopped...she had her friend put in an old american legacy amp that was 400w with all of the gain and hz controls ripped apart from the board........ so this 300w amp was given to me and now its back in my hand. i got home and hooked up a computer 12v supply to it and the power supplys breaker flips whenever i try to start the amp. i had just tested the american legacy amp on the same supply a …

I have a 08 xB with a regular wet-cell in front. I'm going to run a Sundown 1500D. I can get a pretty good price on a Kinetik HC600, would it make a difference, or should I save my money?

Hi everyone have a question. i have a custom built 180amp alternator that i bought online. and im looking for parts for it since the place i bought it from dont wanna help me and wanted to ask if anyone knows a place online that sells parts for alternators. i look up on google and had no luck. the part i am looking for is the adpater that bolts on the outside of the case and the power wire bolts up to.

While moving I had to remove my subs and amp from my car. When hooking them back up in haste I hooked up my power cable to the ground and my ground cable to power. Sparks flew and wires were disconnected soon after. The inline 80 amp fuse burned out. Fuses on the amp were fine. After replacing the inline fuse and connecting the amp correctly the amp will not turn on. I checked the fuse in my Alpine 9887 and it was still fine, I replaced it just to make sure. I opened up the amp and everything looks perfect except a few brown solder points located on the steel plate near the ground/power connections. Are these brown spots just left over flux or do these points need to be…

US Amps XT-1600.2 I was looking at that amp on here, and thinking about maybe getting it. It looks good to push my 7515. Or should I consider something else? I'm just begining to start shopping.

Does anyone have any experience with them. Specifically the ZAPCO ST-4X. I would post a link but I don't know how.

Ever sinced I changed my stock battery to a XS D1200, after a few days of the initial installation, been noticing the car is starting to take a hair longer to start... While working on the car today, i noticed right after i got done driving it.. it was reading 12.6v.. that's pretty low from just turning the car off. So i clamped the battery cable, reading 0.4A draw... hmmm... Pulling fuses under the hood and came up with this- AM2 fuse - (according to forums, controls Starter, fuel injectors, etc....) this fuse is pulling 0.15A DCC fuse - I do not know what this is but it is said dealers pull this fuse to prevent battery discharge if car is left unnattended for days. Thi…
