Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

Traded my friend for what looks like a rf t-1000 monoblock. This is exactly what it looks like but it has no rf sticker on the front, but it does have the rf sticker on the back with the serial number and whatnot. It has 2 channels NOT 1 does this mean its not a 1000rms mono block? I hooked it up to my type e 12 and it worked fine.

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.

Now i have been saving up for a nice system for my mustang for a couple months now and have about $2500 im willing to spend on everything. I'm planning on getting 2 BL12's and 2 SSD10's. Now am i going to need two or more amps for these? And what kind of amp/amps should i get?

Hi i am looking for a deck with aux gain control seems difficult to find , sony has -8,+18 would aslo love a deck that i DO NOT need to open to insert cd thanks

Im a noob here but have been around car audio most of my adult life, lookin for a good option to power two sundown e-15 d4 in my sons ride. Have looked into many brands( hifonics,audiopipe,mb quart,American bass). Needs to be close to $200 to stay in his budget,must be power friendly to run off of a yellow top, stock alt, big three done, and four gauge power and ground. I have owned or heard all the amps listed above except the American bass, so I need options and am open to all advise. Thanks

Alright im hooking up an external regulator (One of them blue boxes) to a second alternator that is separate from the vehicles electrical. . There is 3 pins in the plug on the alt but right now there is just one wire going to it to turn it on. .. The problem I am having is I dont know where to hook the field wire from the regulator to . I have tried the all the pins in the plug of the alt but nothing is making the regulator work . . Vehicle is an 08 escalade and the alt is a dc 370

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

http://www.cdstandbypower.com/product/battery/vrla/pdf/12_1029.pdf it is the 100 lb battery idk which one it is ik there is 2 of them ... how are they ... someone is selling them for around 250 each on a car audio forum ... they are supposed to be comprable to the kinetic hc3800 he said

k i picked up a set of Jl w3v2 d4 subs in a sub zero ported box with an mtx 81000d for 250 bucks after doing some research i see these amps sometimes had alot of issues i have a brand new power acoustik ovn1-2000 d in box / i no most are going to say junk but i have had good luck in the past with their amps my car is an 04 cavalier stock electrical would it be better to run the new amp or old amp ? would the newer amp be more efficient ?

Hi everyone, I have a 1993 lexus gs300. I'm relocating the battery to the trunk, purchasing a 200amp alternator, and doing a big 3 upgrade. I'm running two amplifiers (jl 1000/1 and a 300/4). So I figured at the least I'm going to need zero gauge coming back to the battery. Can someone here please advise me the correct way to run the positive wires? I was planning on running a positive 1/0 from battery to alternator and split it from there to the fuse box and starter. I'm trying to do this right while my engine is outside of the car so I do not encounter any electrical issues down the road.

I have a 4 groove belt on my lancer and I've been told buy a HO Alt dealer that If I chose a 200 amp unit I would experience belt slip. Does anyone here have a 200 amp alt or higher on a 4 groove belt? If so, does the belt slip on you? I was informed that 150 amp unit would work fine. My stock alt is 85 amperes. I'll be running a Sundown 2000D plus a component amp (undecided which one). Would 150 amp unit and a PowerMaster D3100 + front battery be sufficient power for me?

i have a 10" RL-i D4 on the way, now i'm trying to choose and amp. goals were... 1: no more than $250 with shipping tacked on. would like to make it less if i could, but if the choice means paying that much than so be it. 2: a minimum of 500rms at 2ohm. sub will be in a optimum recommend size sealed box which i believe was .65 cu.ft. i have done lot of searching and reading reviews and posts with people giving their opinions, not only here, but other places. i have it down to these choices. Cadence TXA-1000D Hifonics TXi 7506 Phoenix Gold R8.0:1 Phoenix Gold Ryval V8001 Infinity REF611A Alpine MRP-M650 again, cheaper would be better, but from what i remember of Phoenix …

i was @ Harbor Freight and saw an analog Volt meter that bosted different color LED's for $19.99 so i got a lil help from Alan Hall and well minus 1 smaller cup holder later... 3/4" Mdf wrapped in Blk Vinyl heres the installed pic off on with motor off on with motor running different colors not bad for a cheep fixx, waiting for Stinger to replace my digital volt meter. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=98479

amp cuts out when i: hit brake pedal OR turn on electric fans OR turn on compressor OR turn on a/c OR turn volume to loud (with gain turned almost all the way down and/or set properly) i have a red top under hood, a 280 amp alt., big 3, and kinetik 2400 running a hk4000d (i know these are power hungry, but not that much?) to a 18" fi btl(full loaded), all 1/0 gauge, knukonceptz rca's, jensen in-dash(vm9412) thought it was rca's, changed them, still does it so its either headunit rca signal(volts) or the amp any help appreciated, been having problem awhile and just want to get it figured out!

A friend of mine has been quizzing me on what amp to get for his highs. Suggestions?

As some of you may know from other another post I have plans of doing a 150 trunk car this summer. So from past experience I know that I can not run two alts, and I already have a HO alt. I am trying to stay away from extra batts due to my car having weak ass springs in the ass end so I was going to install a MLA module. BUT!! I googled for like 2 hours and I can not find the site or how to buy one? If I am just mentally challenged would someone please post a link and if not dose anybody know of another type of device that would get me similar results.

I have 4 2600watt amps if i get 4 kenetic 2400's what size alt would i need to power these amps and recharge these batts and what company has them for cheap also can anyone machine or know where i can get alt brackets for the low in case i need 2 alts the car is a 2002 chevrolet suburban

I just got and installed my alt from DC. First of all before w/ my stock alt I would idle at 13.8 and drop down to 12.4 at the most So I figured the h.o. would help with that problem, I talked to Rob from DC, when I first bought the alt and he told me it would be a good idea to get a module, so I would charge at higher volts. Since I didn't have the money at the time. I didn't get it yet. But anyways, I put the alt in; and I immediatly notice that I was idling really low. I checked it with Dmm and I was infact idling around 12.8. Now I know it would PROBABLY help if I add the module, but since I was already idling at 13.8, shouldn't adding the H.o. still keep me around t…

So hoping others with more knowledge then I, could help clear up the wondering of my mind... What are the benifits of a person running a daily, (non-competitive) sub stage at 4 ohm compared to 1 ohm? Just curious if the pros were great enough, to dish out double the money for an amplifier? Thanks for everyones time and input!

I wanted to pick up a eq soon to really fine tune my system i was thinking of like a 5 or 7 band with sub level, anyone know of any good 1/2 din eq's?

Alright, so sold off everything from old substage, well actually sold half of it, other half got stolen. Anyway will be running 2 1500d's on 3 SA-12's, and backing them on the electrical side will be a kinetik hc2000, hc1400, and optima blue top under the hood. right now alty is a small upgraded 120a. I am saving up for a real nice 200 a 240 peak custom valeo from ohio generator. Now the real question is this. I want to charge batteries to 15volts. right now with the optima, and two kinetiks that is a total of 4500 battery amps and 162 ah from kinetiks and I believe 55 ah on the optima blue top so 217ah total. I do plan on adding another hc2000 and hc1400 on oth…

I installed a stinger voltage display in my car about a week ago. Since then ive noticed that ill be driving around and all the sudden the voltage will drop from 14.4 to 12.5~4. But if i change anythin power consumpiton in car, (i.e. rolling down windows, blinker, turning my lights on, a/c on. and also when i hit the brakes or change gears) the voltage goes back up to 14.5 for a few seconds and sometimes goes back down to 12.5 and other times it will stay back up at 14.5 I thought it might be my connections, so i hooked two DMM in my car. One run to my battery pos and neg, and the other run to my alternator + post to my battery neg. Once i was driving around again and not…

Father and son!

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.

ok so i was still looking at buying a sub amp and i started talking to this guy that said he has a audiobahn A18001DT brand new in the box that he will sell me for $200....does that sound like a pretty good deal?,it sounds like one to me i just dont know alot about that amp.i know this amp retailed pretty high and everything but i wanted you guys opinion on this before i do it.
