Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

Okay I have a PPI PC2200, But I have no clue how much it's worth. Anyone know?

Im using this universal pioneer ipod adapter with my head and i cant get it to work http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT I have everything installed correctly because it actually charges the ipod i just cant get to the setting on the head unit to get it to play. Does anyone have any ideas? It hooks up to the cd changer plug on the back of the head unit

So I see aftermarket h/o alts can be regulated upwards to 15v but I also see others doing 16v+. So is 15v safe to run on stock electrical but 16v+ needs changing wiring and fuses? I'm more interested in actually having the alt do 16v, not 18v charging 16v battery So what's involved in running alts with 16v in a car safely?

is there a kit for this, or do i just get some 0 or 2 gauge wire off a spool, Sorry, but i know nothing about this

I let it sit for a bit and I guess from what I read online that if it gets a little dust on or in it. The cd player doesn't eject cds. There is a disk in there that plays fine. It can't eject it though. How would I fix this?

Ok, so I just received and hooked up my saz3000d and everything went smooth. It is a very powerful amp. However, I am having one issue. While the truck is NOT running and my head unit is paused, or the av source is off (it is a avic-n4 nav) so the hu itself is still on, and so is the amp. There is a low humming sound coming from my subs. Something else I notice is when I touch the amp it either goes completely away or almost does. Can anyone shed any light on this for me please. More info you may want: I have quality rca jacks no where close to any other wires. I relocated my ground with no change. I have a memphis eq.

im going to be using a hifonics brz 2400 watt model amp, am i ok running just 1 strand of 0 gauge wiring to the battery or should i do 2?

Alright.. this is a noob question im sure, but i just dont know exactly how its done. problem is i set up my little truck using a deck with 3 pre outs, was able to run the 4x6's on the dash, 6.5's in the doors and the subs in the back.. now i got a deck with 2 outputs.. basically lost my door speakers. i know there has to be a easy way to make this work. I have all the rca's ran for each channel and a 4ch amp in the back but only able to connect the front channel. Hope i made this clear enough to get some help.

hi i wanted some info on how take make my electrical system to 14.4 volts i have a 1997 jetta vr6 so i would guess i have 12v system how can i make it higher so my amp would put out the right watts i have a brutus 1605 thanks.

Has anyone tried the 8120 out? I am really considering it because of its seemingly endless list of functions. What other good double dins have you all tried?

I don't know much about this battery, but was wondering how it worked. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13167_Kinetik+HC16V+-KHC-16-.html Would it be possible to connect the 12v post to my normal system (12 volt alt), and connect the 16v post to the amp and have 16 volts on that side? From the description that's what it seems like, I was just wanting some clarification. Thanks

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

I picked up a DMM the other day and have been reading up on setting my amp gains. I came across this the other day: So my question is, is it still safer to set your gains with a DMM than by ear?

Hi guys, I need some feedback on linedrivers for spl. Some say that linedrivers kill subs and some thinks it makes you louder do to up to 13v outs?

Might be old news, but I just caught this today. http://12volt.com/12voltonline2/index.php?...Itemid=88888907 Looks pretty awesome, pretty smart amp. http://www.focal-power.com/products/dual_monitor.htm

just wondering, I was looking for images for a banner and I found HU's on their site, they resemble on the outside like the first run of RF HU's for a few years ago, anyway here is a pic of the top end unit: B)

today i got my new amp hifoincs Brutus bxi2006d looks damn good

Hey guys, My SAZ-3000d came in ups last night but I got off at like 10pm so I will be installing it today, I am at the dentist now but will be putting it in when I get home and need help.. I forgot how I had the settings on my SAZ-1200... so How do I set things on here, Ill list ones I dont know Rofl. ( I will set bass boost on OFF obv. And ill set the Gain with my DMM with 50hz tone ) Now.. What should Subsonic filter be set to? Its from 10~60hz What should LPF be?... 35hz~300hz? And Phase?.. 0~180? I am running it on 4 SA-10s and the box is tuned to 33-34hz. Thanks a TON! I just can't seem to remember how I figured out how to set each one, its been over a year since I m…

im doing the big 3 with 2 gage but should i ren the - from the batt to stock ground or to a better spot?

Looking to upgrade my head unit and I'm between Kenwood ddx376bt or Pioneer avh-501ex

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

I was planning on this amp Hifonics BXi 1606D - Hifonics 1 Ch 1600 Watt RMS Amplifier http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=3804 However, now it is crunch time to buy it, so I am having second thoughts. How would this amp be for two TC-7's. http://tcsounds.com/tc7.htm Should I consider something else? I am going to run it at 1ohm, so I think this will be good. But, any other amps better for under 300? I really dont want to pay more then that.

ok noob here and i was thinking i should get a yellow top under the hood, do the big 3, and get a kinetic hc2000. now my question is do i neeed the second batt? i heard that a second batt isnt neccesary if you wont play music with your car off. the yellow top under the hood and big 3 are going to be done for sure though. oh and one more question how many ft of 1/0 wire would i need to do the big 3. i have a 00' honda accord coupe. alternator will be done soon need help on that too but dont want to spend more than 400 on one?

Has anyone else had the whining noise from the RCAs with the 880? I was switching around some wiring today, accidently touched a speaker wire to the ground wire on the amp and all of a sudden I hear a whining when I turn the vehicle back on. When I grounded a single RCA on the front pre-out the sound nearly went away, still there just barely audible So a couple quick questions about this.... When grounding the RCA would I have to do it to every pre-out being used? (white and red of all 3 pre-outs if all were being used?) Is there a nicer looking way of doing this? Should the deck just be sent to pioneer to be fixed instead?

crossfire cx23L us amps us-x3 kenwood kec-600 the kec-600 is alot more intriquite and complex than the others, US AMPS and crossfire are 6 channel output, the kenwood has 12channel out all have line drivers, kenwood = 24 db/octave, crossfire is 12 db/octave and i think the usamps is 12 db/octave just needing some opinions...im gonna try to sell the usamps and crossfire and keep the kenwood - made in 94 old school goodness... the us amps is old too tho ALL INMINT SHAPE crossfire is new tho
