I am looking for some amp meters and an oscope. id like to get your guys's opinions as to what brands and models work well. id love to have flukes but the cost is just to high for right now. i was looking into those pocket oscopes but id like to be able to have a comparative input option so i can pull from 2 sources at a time. anyone know if they make such a module?

Installed a Sony (no comment) HU in a friend's car a few weeks ago, with no problems until another friend tried to replace the rear speakers. After which, the radio turn on wire does not function. To get the radio to turn on we have to wire both red (mem) and yellow (12+) to the 12+ constant. Checked every fuse in the vehicle, and smell no burned wires. If all else fails, we will simply run a new set of wires and re fuse them , but either way, i'd like to figure out what went wrong in the first place. 1992 Saturn SL (The awesome kind )

I have a memphis 16-2000d amp and it has no fuses. If i use a 300 amp inline fuse in the power wire and hook that straight up to the amp will that be ok?

got a couple of memphis 16-st1000 amps and i was wondering if they can handle a .5 ohm load for burps?? anyone have any knowledge? all info is greatly appreciated. thanks

Hey everyone I was just curious to see if anyone on here run's these amps or has had experience with them? I just installed mines today and it works like a champ, its used BTW but I was wondering if these pigs usually run on the hotter side? After about maybe 30 minutes of play time after hooking it up it was kinda hot, not hot where U couldnt touch it but not really warm either. So after about an hour and a half worth of playing its still working, it hasnt gone into thermal protection mode, But I was just curious if this is normal for this amp? But then again it is 2 amps in 1 chassis. LMK if anyone has input. thanks

this is the amp im planning on running to my subs and was just wanting to hear yalls opinions on the amp as to how good it is or if it actually does rated power etc.

well im looking for a used amp for 2 btl's so i guess im in the $7-900 range im mostly looking for efficiency , realiability , longevity, and a subsonic filter so if you guys could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it

I'm currently helping a friend purchase the rest of his setup for his Durango. He bought my 12" Cerwin-Vega! Vmax D2 Driver. It is in a 2.5cu ft. box (ported). Memphis Ampl That is the amp he is going to buy. 500RMS at 1 ohm. Class D Question is: Run 4 gauge or 2 gauge? And he has a stock deck, so I will need a LOC, where is a good place to purchase them, and i would need a write up on how to wire one in, along with a source for the remote. Final: Woofersetc is a good site to order from right? I've known quite a few people that have ordered from there without problems

So the fan was not working off my Memphis 16pr1.5kd so I pulled it out and opened it up. Two lines lead from the fan area to a potentiometer. Then looking around some more I find three pins with a jumper across two. Next to that says subsonic on and off. I don't have any adjustment for a ssf on the outside, but could this be set to "on" then the potentiometer used to adjust the it? Or is this potentiometer linked to the fan somehow? I'll be checking to see if the fan works as I've pulled that out. If someone could link or send me a layout of this board that would be helpful, thanks! Edit: also the potentiometer is labeled vr1 while the adjustments on the outsid…

Anyone have experience or opinions on Memphis amps? I'm considering a 5 channel to run some comps and a sub. What are Memphis comparable to? Thanks

ANyone know any dealers or online distributors that are authorized that I can get in touch with? Their website doesn't have all the info I need. Thanks!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW to power my new ia 187s wonder if it could handle a .5 ohm load... or maybe this ma audio http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5744820550&rd=1

i was just wondering if anyone knows how much a Memphis 16-MC1.1500 would cost?

Man ole Man... i love my new Memphis Mojo Amp... Its so prudy. Heres a pic of it, im gonna be running it at .5ohms so about 3kw. Here it Is.

Would a Memphis Mojo MCD4KW be a good amp for the 2 18" Fi BTL's i have or would i need two of them?

anybody have any experience with this amp? i'm thinking about getting one off of ebay to power my 6.5"s and tweeters. all comments about it are welcome, good or bad. recomendations are welcome too!

hey everyone! Sorry for another "Vs." thread, but i would deeply appreciate any help I dont know which amp to get? the memphis prd 1000.1 or the sundown 1000D, what are some pros and cons of each amp, and what amp will suit me best with a FI Q12 with a 2007 honda accord with stock power Thanks

going for a simple sq based system with components up front and a single diyma 12" in the rear. Looking at a pair of MC300's (150x2 or 500ish bridged) or a pair of Xterminator Xt1600.2's (125x2 or 600ish bridged). the UsAmps are cheaper but they are the lowend line while the M class is the top of line that they offer. What do you guys think?

I emailed Dom, but have not heard back yet, just wondering because I thought I would go digging again for someone to make me one, if you guys have any suggestions or insight on this feel free the motor is the 104.992 3.2L I-6 DOHC 24v

Today is not a good day. i got my remote gain yesterday i installed it today.. also The plan was to finally have my subs back. i got my DC's back from rusty. and was happy to slap once again... i opened the box and one was broken:( i called rusty and he is so nice... but that's another story. i was hooking up one of the dcs to see if it works and i heard a hum it then everything turn off.. not the car but my amps and the music.... so i check the fuse in the front and its blown. i replace it and then my rf250.2 turns on. but not the merlin?? i took out the merlin and seen the fuses are blown.. so i replace them.... and then when i hooked it up again.. i heard the hum again…

How do you measure the actual output of an amp in watts? I remember my friend Aubrey telling me how, but cant find the info again. Im trying to figure out what my 601S Rockford Fosgate Amp puts out. It says 600 rms, and 1800 peak, which is strange for the peak to be so much higher, but anyways I've also heard that RF underrates their amps substantially like Kicker does. So my question again is how do I measure the power an amp puts out?

Will it make a big enough difference in upgrading quality of my midrange amp but not power to be worth it? Will it make a difference in the sound of my? Or is 400 watts 400 watts and switching amps to a higher quality amp of the same power not make a noticable difference?

Hey guys, I just bought my 2 Dcon 12s and I'm looking for a decent amp for my mids and highs. It'd be nice if it were right around $100. I was looking at this one right here, http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=269-190 If there's a cheaper amp that still would do what I need then please share. Thanks guys!

I have a question for you guys I have 2 amps 1 for mids and 1 for highs My question is how do I wire both amps ? Both amps have multiple rca inputs... Mids amp is crescendo 1100.4 and highs amp is cheap kenwood 300 watt amp head unit has high mid and sub rca outputs any help will be great Carlos

I have a powerbass 300.2x which does 80 wrms per channel at 4 ohm im running a set of alpine type s 6.5 coaxials they are 80 wrms i have to turn the gain all the way up on the amp to hear them/sound good would a headunit with 4 volt preouts help? Btw i have a speaker wired to each channel. And i have an alpine cde9876 i think two preouts that are 2 volts.
