Am trying to find out which Bass Remote Control i would need for the older JLe1800 or a1800 amps? Thanks

Hmm, how do you figure out what fuses to run for inline power and distributor block? Right now they are matched with the amps, but they should be matched with the wire, right? Here's what I have now: Soundstream TRX1500D (120A) Soundstream TRX2.550 (60A) Inline Fuse = 250A Distribution block = 60A & 120A Power wiring is all 1/0 except after distribution block (2x4AWG) Question is for next year, I'm doing some upgrades: Soundstream RUB1.2500D (250A) Sounstream RUB2.600 (60A) Wiring will remain the same except I'll be running 1/0AWG from the block to the 1.2500D What fuses should I choose? Do I need to upgrade anything else? Alternator is 200A. Lemme know if you see som…

Well I have ran into something here and I think I may have gotten lucky on my part.... My friend who is going to help me install my car system here whenever I get everything together. He told me that he has a 5 farad cap and that I could have it from him for a few cases of...beverages. Now I am curious about this seeing as I was told to stay away from caps and just get a battery bank. What questions should I ask him when deciding if I want this or not? He says its pretty new and was only installed into his car system once. Then he took it out due to too many tickets over a week (must have been dumb about it) and never put it back in. Now for the serious question here, sho…

when puting the fuses back in my amp i broke the thing that holds the fuse. so right now i am just running a lead (with a fuse in it) from the holder thats not broken to the power 12v on the amp. will this be ok to keep this way. or is it wasy to just heat up the solder and put a new holder in and where can i get one. could i get a in line fuse holder and run from one lead to another and solder them in. i cant run just one amp.. there in a common camber box all 4.

Ok I was told the Sundown 4500D is a bad amp because the 86% eff @ 4ohms at 100Hz, so I was told to look into the HellFire 2500.1, the MTX TA92001, and the T1500-1bd. I am going to be getting 2 12" BTLs, fully loaded daily drivers. Anyone have any words of wisdom?

I have a Fi BL 15 and im trying to figure out whats better the Terminator 4000d or the saz 1500d? the terminator is cheaper, is the quality good? which one is easier on the electrical system? Cleaner sound? thanks

I finally found it.. I just got a mint Sony Mobile ES Amp. I forgot how nice they were. will do my front stage justice def not xplode crap. 50x4. 1 ohm stable stereo. xm-5046. I'm pretty happy..

Have a guy that wants to trade me a pair of modified Stetsom 2K6D's for my pair of SoundStream 6500D's. the 2K6D's are modded and he has run them down to almost .25ohm before. He says at nationals last year, he strapped them and ran them on a 1.4DVC subwoofer and got over 9Kw out of the pair...? I hear they are pretty under rated but I have no personal experience, I know the 6500D clamped just over 4200 @ 1ohm on 13.8v~... EDIT: These are the older Stetsoms, not the newer "Vulcan" ones... what are your thoughts?

Will this amp work alright for a single p3 sub. Just had it given to me HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone, Got a question. Are Power Acoustik amps any good? One on dealer cost car audio pretty cheap. Opinions please....

Hey everyone. Does anyone have a good used amp for sale? Mono block 2ohm between 500 & 1000 rms watts.

max 400 wat each wondering on what size amp i need?

I have had one of these guys sitting around in my room for a while now. The only info I've ever really found was this thread from 2006. Anybody have any other info?

Ok, so I decided to go with a Alpine 9887 with the time imprint. my next question is can this deck do a good job if I run my mids active? I have never tried to run an active setup before, and was hoping you guys could point me in a direction as to how it all works. I know you need to run each speaker on a seperate channel of an amp. So, I will have to buy another mid amp. Now would I just use RCA splitter on say the front right to get my mid and highs seperate? Now I also read that you have to run it in full range and control it all of of the deck EQ is that correct?

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

Due to some unforeseen circumstances (dealing with a disreputable online retailer) it appears like I will shortly be in possession of 2 amps instead of one. I had just wanted a 2 channel amp to power my Phoenix Gold RSD65cs components and then I was going to determine whether or not to add rear fill or a sub with another amp down the road. But now, I have an MB Quart DSC280 (80x2 at 4ohm) and a Planet Audio RX4.400 (100x4 at 4ohm) to be delivered this week. My wife is less than impressed with this turn of events and says I can only keep one and will have to sell the other. My first question is, assuming I follow orders, which amp do I keep. I'm pretty sure the MB Quart …

ok so i got a new HU and i connected everything according to what i know. my HU is a jvc kd-g820 when i plug the wires to the HU it makes a noise that you can hear is working then it stops but when i try to turn on nothing happens. my question is do i have to connect the illumination wire to the orange or to the 12v which is yellow ? since nothing happens when press any buttons

Ok so today i was resetting the gain on my Sundown Audio SAZ-2000D. I was using a 50hz tone using a dmm. I realized that once the gain was turned up to a certain point it started to make a weird humming sound. I could hear it from inside of the amp on the side closest to where the settings are. Any ideas of what it may be? The 50hz tone I have repeats in 10 second intervals. I can only hear this humming sound from the amp during the 10 seconds. And yes I'm not hearing the noise coming from the speakers inside. Why does the amp only make this sound when the gain reaches a certain point?

So I need some more power, I did my research and decided to go with Mechman, Called him up and can start by saying his customer service was top notch, hes very friendly and easy to talk to, answered every question I had for him. Heres some photos of the install. It was very straight forward and easy to install, I give the service and product a A+ and would reccomend it to anyone. Yes I know its dirty under the hood but I had no time to clean it so on with the photos =] Stock Alt removed the plastic engine cover Pulled the OEM Alt moved a couple things and the re-install starts another shot all back together and the test Once again I couldent be happier with the eas…

Has anyone tried there high output alternators or have opinions about them?
