I have a pheonix gold xenon 200.4 and I am looking for a new pair of components that can handle the power from this amp

is it good to have less or more of it? and also why do most companies only post THD of 4 ohms, does it change with each load?

So my friend has a 2001 camaro z28 And he doing a wall build With to HDC418-D1( about to order) And running 3 group 31 batts and a group 34 x power under the hood With a mechman 320 alt( do not have yet) Box will be tune low in the 28-32( will be talking to Alton about that) So we came across 2 good deals to stay in budget on the amp both are around same price Crescendo bc 5500. Or dc 5k both are used....I google each and read up on some stuff but We still looking for more outside input I do not want any other amp choices...it was hard already talking him in to walling off is car...

ive had my new radio in for a few days and its great. i was going to sushi with my gf and we entered the plaza and as i hit the dip the stereo stopped playing and said protect. i did some research and i saw that there is probably a short somewhere in the speaker wire. im currently on the factory wiring for my front door speakers til i hook up my 2 ch. i have infinity kappas so they have that big external box for the speaker wire so i assumed the skinny factory wiring came loose or something. i saw that some people just reset the radio and it never went into protect again. i tired it and it worked for another hour then it went into protect again. but when it was working i …

ok, I am helping Brian look for an amplifer, he has on order 2 RL-p 12 D2's from the group buy, and now he is in need of an amp, so we need a final load of 2 ohms mono with about 600 to 1200 watts to push the subs, he is not trying to win any tropies just have damn good sound.. he is putting this all into a 2k4 Explorer in the cargo compartment which sits below the floor of the rear cargo area, after some quick measurements and no moddifications he has about 16" wide max, 1' deep, 5" thick to work with for the amplifer to sit down in.. so I thought that a few options would be: - the MTX 801D, good amp, great price, low on features, solid performer when pure power is the …

I really have all green lights in my truck and i think having a volt meter on the dash or center console or whatever would be pretty cool. Everyone seems to have stinger volt meters.. They dont come in green that i have seen so i have seen some "slim volt meters" or something like that... Do they work good? And how do you actuly attach them? Any comments will be productive. Btw... Ik its only like 6 bucks but i dont have a credit card so would be a hastle to get it especially if it isnt worth it. Thanks for any commenct

I currently have a passive front component set of Focal's on a Linear Power 1502 with TIPS mods. I'm looking at going active and louder up front. I currently have a BTL N2 15 and another on the way. I can start to drown out the fronts now so adding another sub will definitely drown them out. I have not set my mind up on what tweeters and mids to use. I have door pods already for 6.5 mids and tweeters. I have a small SUV...Mercury Mariner so adding more front speakers is not an option. This is a daily driver and I will rewire the fronts with larger wire when I redo and go active. I'm looking into the Zed amp 100x4 and wondering if anyone has any experience with it. …

I have a JL 500/5 which is 100 rms ch 1 & 2 and 25 rms ch 3 & 4 I am thinking of using it to run my bravox cs60cf active. My biggest question is what should i do about the rear should i amplify the rear speakers (bravox cx60cf) or run them off the deck. The reason I ask is because I also have a JL e4300 4 channel amp. I have heard some people say dont amp the rears and some say you should amp them and i don't know what to do yet any help would be cool.

Well people I am debating to whether to keep my Arc Audio amps installed or take my Zapco DC amps out of the closet and swap the Arc Audio for the Zapco DC. If you were doing the SQ build which one would you do? Thank you Ebrahim

hi, i have 200 bucks to buy an amp to use to power my re audio xxx comps that i am finally installing. and i am wondering should i get a refurb sax100.2 from db-r and go passive or a new eclipse audio xa4000 and try to do active with them and i have an alpine 9887 for the processing. so it is more like what would you do type thread.

Well I guess I'll be keeping my monte(and probably a bike come spring)... and getting some new goodies in the coming months First thing is a new alt. I know iraggi is having a group buy right now, but I don't know exactly how confident I feel with him. And even if the group buy gets 30people paid i'm still gonna be spending 270 atleast for 200amp(105 idle which i thought was low?) So I got ahold of nate over at excessive amperage he said he could do me a 200amp for 270shipped... which is probably cheaper than iraggi and he seems like a nice car. I know a couple guys have had problems with him(some group buy he did?)... I searched but what is your guys opinion on his pr…

Hey I was wondering if there were any crossovers/proccesors that are like the RF symmetry EPX^2, except cheaper lol I'm talking about something that has a face where you can change anything with a touch of a button, anything else out there? Thanks Blake

I need to find out if i will need the big 3 or not with my setup. Here is what i have 1 12" kicker L7 750watts rms 2ohm dvc and am going to be purchasing a JBL GTO 1201.1 787watts at 4ohms. My car is a 95 ram 1500 and i think the alternator is 120amps will i need the big 3? information on the amp there are 3 40amp fuses so 120 amps is the most the amp will pull i was told just put that there maybe it will help you guys. THANKS! if you need more information i will try to post it up!

So i already want more power. how well would a hifonics brutus bxi2008d on .5 ohms? ill be running two. alt will be a second 220 on top of my stock alt, plus one batt up front and another by the amps. maybe two by the amps. has anyone had experience with them? i cant even get mine warm at 1 ohm right now... just kicking around ideas, as this would be my cheapest way to get around 4-5k rms. otherwise i gotta buy a big amp and thats lots of money. i want s Sundown 4500 but im just dreaming there. i can afford what im proposing... thinking about sayin screw it an getting the amp this week and trying it... lol. although i really should get the batt/alt power first... anywa…

I am looking at a arc xxk4050 amp that is a couple months old he wants 300. for it. Is that a good price? the sheet says 118-120 watts a channel. I have heard a lot of good things about arcs but never heard more than a couple minutes in a demo room

Hello everyone, I haven't posted here in a while, but I've been keeping myself current on the threads in the build logs section for sure. Some of you might remember my build log, and might also remember that once I got to the point where I could finally fire the thing up, I was having lots of trouble with noise. I tested and tested, and it turns out that it is my JL Audio 500/5 that's to blame (I installed another amp in its place and the problem was totally fixed). It's a high pitched beeping sound that changes evenly in frequency (up and down). Sometimes it actually sounds like a pack of dolphins from the nature shows... very bizarre. It makes this noise in all chan…

could someone give me a list of amps that do 2500 watts at 2ohms.

hey guyz.. having a little problem with my 4200 avh pioneer. I pulled it out doing some little maitnence and then when i put the wire plug to the back of the deck and started it it wouldnt turn on. I drive a 06 escalade and i have to use a wire harness with a interface on it. so what i did was make sure nothing grounded and re connected the power ground and constant yellow and still nothing. then when i unplugged the interface and plugged back in it turned on for about 5 seconds and then shut off again. Could this be a bad interface? or what could it be? please help. thanks
