Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

In my next build i want to do something other than a ordinary heaunit. I was thinking about something along the line of a android headunit,tablet, or even a carputer. What would it take for something like this to work?

Hey guys! we're trying to set the gains and settings on my bro's sub/amp but he has stock blose speakers and amp for his mids and hi's.... anyone know if the bose amp has a gain control on it or if possible can we add one? speakers max out volume @ 17/80 ha. HU is a 9887 and 15"icon + 1000D. Thanks in advance guys

I have a 2003 mustang and I'm planning on buying an 12" Fi Q with the BP power option, a RF T1500-1, and a RF T600-4 to power the four corners. My car is 100% stock and i was wondering if my 105 Amp alternator and the big 3 fix would be enough to power all this. If not what should I do. Oh and why is it people prefer batteries to capacitors? Thanks, Matt *Edit* The alternator is 105-110 Amps. Not that it makes much of a difference...

I really like the look of the newly released Kandy Kable but the thing that is dissapointing. CCA wire . 90% aluminum 10% copper. Turned me away automatically

Im looking @ getting a amp for my SE and dont know which way to go. Im kinda on a budget but im open to all ideas. Want to feed it as close to 600 rms as i can. off topic: Hi to all, im new here

So I have a Sundown Audio SAX-1200d, and I get a lot of dimming. what battery should I get to STOP ALL dimming?? thanks

I need an Alpine head unit that'll work with 3 amps ( 2 sub and 1 mid/highs ) I'm thinking about, IVA-D106 http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/iva-d106 Opinions?

To push 4 1508's? I can run 2 1508's @ 2ohms to each 1211a (1200w), or I can run all 4 @ 1ohm to the AQ2200 (?). As for my electrical, I have 2 redtops, 200amp alt, big 3, & 0awg. What's going to be the all around better setup?

I am looking for an amp to run a pair of icons, would need to put out between 1500-2200 @ 1 or 2 or 4 ohms depending on which VC configuration. these are my choices so far 1) Sundown SAZ-1500d @ 1ohm 2) US Amps Merlin MD3 (2000w) @ 1 ohm 3) Hifonics Colossus @ 4 ohms bridged (2000w) 2) 2x Kicker ZX1000 now i will be running an HC1400 under the hood, with a Batcap 800 in the trunk(next best thing to a battery cause i am trying to keep it somewhat light), 1/0 throughout, Big 3, 10 additional 4amg grounds on chassis. the car only has a 110 amp alt. stock, so i am looking for the most efficient amp possible. From what i remember the kickers seem to fall on the less efficient …

I'm installing a Kicker tc104 sub in my trans am and have a choice from 2 amps, either a old school Autotek 7100bts or a Kicker ZX400.1 I just picked up. Which one would you prefer to use? I'm not trying to blow the windows out or anything, just trying to get some better sounds over the stock setup. Thanks for any input you may have.

A buddy of mine just got two power acoustik demon 6000d series amps. I looked them up and they said they would do 3500 @ 1 ohm and 7000 @ 2 ohm when strapped. I've never seen per heard these amps so he enter to know if anyone has any knowledge of about them. I thinly its very sketchy ratings for the price. Anyone have an idea?

Alright iv ran into a bit of a problem. I have two amps one a Kicker ZX350.4 which accepts 8 AWG wire and the other a Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D which accepts 1/0 AWG. Im runing 0 AWG wire from the battery to my trunk, i cant find a dist. block that will work with these wires. any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone recommend me a good pioneer headunit? I'm trying to keep it on the cheap side, around 100-130 bucks. It will be used in a '95 suburban and i was also going to be running 2 12" L7s (not sure if that matters). I just want it to sound good and go well with my subs.

How would you figure this out? Ac/dc / ac/dc? Running a mmats D300hc in a 2 cu. Sealed enclosure. Not supposed to run the mmats below 1 for daily driving, so want to know how I'm doing so, is this the cheater amp its made to be? Drawing lots of current lol, voltage drop. Don't want to dmg the amp, rewiring it to 4 and making a larger ported I guess.

I was orignally looking for an external EQ for the zune, for headphones, but I came across this, and thought it was cool. I would be using it in my backpack. Gotta catch this bus. Feedback is appreciated.

Will I see a big difference if i update from an aq3500d (old one 3500 watts) to a saz-4500? I am looking to get my 2 dd3512e louder. Would this get me there?

I have been researching the Diamond amps. Should I go with the new D6 line or the discontinued D7's?

How much rms should I aim for to power the ICON optimally? How would an amp like this do http://www.americanbassusa.com/product.detail/product_id/137

I just ordered one 12 1ohm BL, I'm thinking a xtx 3000.1 amp, pushes 1400 arms at one ohm. What do y'all think?

Does anyone have a birthsheet for any US Acoustic Amp? If you do, could u post a picture. Thank you. Qckrun

I've ran the CDA 9813, 9886, & 9855 but right now I'm just looking for a simple setup.

right now i have a cheap 20 dollar line out converter. As you turn up the volume it doesent get any louder, and i know im not getting the full 1200watts. All my electrical is good, my voltage stays at 13v. Are you guys familiar with the jl audio clean sweep? I dont want to get a headunit. All i want is when i turn up my volume it gets louder and louder, right now if i turn it up it stops getting loud, it stops after a certain point. my volune is 30max and when i put it to 16 it doesent get louder??? my current equipment. 12bl fully loaded and sundown sae 1200d. all 0 gauge I have a 15btl and a sundown sax 2500d on order.

I'm about to do a Big 3 upgrade on my car. I found some wire from a company called Install Bay. Has any one ever used there products? Oh I'm using 1/o gauge for the upgrade.

I wanted to know if i should possible upgrade my alternator or any other kind of problem i might have to ensure the sound. Also I have no Idea what kind of box I should build what do yall think? im getting the dual 2 ohm subs so suggestions on boxes are also appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Colt
