Do they make an LED meter so you can constantly monitor the output voltage of the amp?

new job way more cash! ok so i have been planing a build with some skar 12s changed my mind to put 4 ia ported in my trailblazer. well i did the big 3 i can tell a diff, but thats on a single dr. right now im trying to get the power to put 4 of them. ill be getting 2 kinetik batts under the hood and then another big one in the back. i plan on putting about 1kw max to each sub, also getting a ho alt. kinetik has a charging system also would i need oreven want that? then my trunk space is wide not so long would i be better off walling with them or a sub up port back deal. im not really wanting spl or sq more of a mix of both. im waiting for crescendo comps to come back out …

I'm just wondering what are the pros/cons of using a dry cell battery, than a wet cell battery. I need to get a couple of batterys and need to know the differences between the two so i know what to buy.

Hello, I have about 1200 watts rms of power (1 sub and 2 speakers) in my car : one saz 1000 and (soon) an sax 50.4 bridged to my comp set. My power and ground are 0 gauge. I will very soon do the big 3 with all 0 ga. I would like to have more electrical power, in order to have maybe a 1500 or a 2000 watts amp for a next sub. What would be better ? Add a second battery in the trunk ? XS or Kinetic, like the small one they make for Honda civic. Or just replace the battery under the hood with a bigger one? always XS or Kinetic. I don't want to have a HO alternator, so I will keep the one I got. I don't remember how much amp it is, but my car has a Diesel engine, so the alter…

Look at all these Awesome old school items. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5738660528&rd=1 And another little tidbit at an awesome price! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...mMakeTrack=true

Hi everyone, I have a 1993 lexus gs300. I'm relocating the battery to the trunk, purchasing a 200amp alternator, and doing a big 3 upgrade. I'm running two amplifiers (jl 1000/1 and a 300/4). So I figured at the least I'm going to need zero gauge coming back to the battery. Can someone here please advise me the correct way to run the positive wires? I was planning on running a positive 1/0 from battery to alternator and split it from there to the fuse box and starter. I'm trying to do this right while my engine is outside of the car so I do not encounter any electrical issues down the road.

what will i need to power these two beasts?

i blew up my old 2000 watt brutus today and are in the market for a new amp...looking for roughly 1600-2000 real watts not the PA type chit. looking for opinions on the audiopipe ap1500's and also on the audiopipe woofs. always looking for new stuff

i dont want to second guess myself so im trying to get another opinion on a good estimation of what size fuses i need to get. what im running is a kinetik 1800 in the hood and a kinetik 1800 in the back of tundra (ext. cab with seats taking out) with 2 runs of 0g. i have a 180 amp alt under the hood complete with the big 3 all in 0g. I have two ANL inline holders, one in the wire right after the + terminal on the kinetik in the hood and then one on the wire in between the alt and + terminal on the kinetik under the hood. What size should i get for those two (they should both be the same right)? are there any other places that would be ideal to place an inline fuse. then i…

Ok, so i fire up my car to leave my friends and hear a pop then smell burning.... Smoke is billowing from my remote wire and it seems it had gotten loose from my amplifier and touched ground while still inside the remote section of the amp. This is visually the only thing i think could have happened. Amp light turns on amp doesnt work, opened up the case and notice a few burnt fets and some bars... Ile get pics later but if theirs char marks on the board do you think this is still fixable and how costly would the repair be? I have horrible luck and just want to push this whole car off a cliff at some point... BAH!!

hey guys.... Can u hook up 8 sets of components to 1 mono amp? something that has as many watts as u need? if so how would u do it, just twist up all the wires and stick them in the slots or how would you do it? Tryna get away from having 2 amps for mids and highs. if not give me some suggests. thanks

Hi Guys, I just installed my front stage a few days ago and now I have a nice problem. The amp I am using for my frontstage is a Memphis 16-ST300. When I'm on the road, it happens really often that the front stage stops for a second or two and then it gets back. During this time, the sub amp which is a Memphis 16-ST1000D doesn't even stops. I just don't know what to do right now. Thanks, Maxime

what about them....anyone with any experience? specificly....this one? lemme know...the sub is on it's way..it's needs an amp to push it!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Running a small eclipse 35x2 amp to power my components, what guage speaker wire do you recomend? thanks

Hi all Ok this is the problem On the big three the alternator power.... It says to upgrade that... now this is the issue i discovered tracking down my voltage drop... My alternator wire goes from the alt to a fuse box (factory) then from the fuse box to the front battery... now my rear battery taps off the front battery.... all 0/1 guage wire... I changed the wire from the alt to the fuse box to 0/1 So i need to change the fuse box to the bat now to 0/1 OR is just going straight from the alt to the rear battery an option (fused with 200 amps of course)

How well do these work? I was looking for a way to clean up the wires a little and allow moving the amp in and out a little easier. Was just worried about how well they stay put or if they come loose easily?

So the plan right now is to pick up (2) 12" SSDs for the new car. Originally I was going to power them with a SAZ-1500D and call it a day. Now I have been pondering the idea of powering them with 2 SAE-1000Ds for a little extra juice and a little overhead. I just don't know if the price difference is worth it. So the question is which do you think I should do? I've heard the 1500D is underrated with the right electrical, but will I get more out of this setep with the 2000W? Thanks in advance.

I have the 9813 model head unit it has a time delay feature , easy to set by plugging in your speaker to listening position. Alpine`s web site can give you the settings for your TD . The Bass Focus is a separate feature but when adjusted it affects the time delay. I would like to use the Bass Focus but I do not understand the instructions completely. Is any one else here using this feature and how is it set?

breaks my heart

Just got in my new head unit, for the vehicle I dont even have yet! I sold the scion, but wont be picking up the new ride for another week...Priorities!

Alright, so i'm going to be ordering two 12" 2 ohm DVC RL-ps soon. Any suggestions on an amp to run them with? I would like to run them at around 700-800 watts each.

Has anyone here had any experience with them. I was able to purchase one for $200 planning running a 10 z v.4 at .5ohm with it.

Is it ok to run the voice coils of the woofer to each channel on a 2 channel amp for a 2ohmx2 dvc woofer. I have my amp bridged. I have the woofer wired in parallel. but my amp is not 1 ohm stable, and a friend told me to do this. will there be any problems if i do this. please help

I have a samll problem and maybe someone here knows what is happening. I have a line driver on my amps so here it goes. I turned the gains on the LD up to about 1/2 way. I then proceeded to set the gains on the amps using a DMM and 50hz test tone to volume level 26 on my HU. Everything was good until I played music. It doesn't seem to matter which song I play. When I get to about 22-24 (depends on song) the sub amp cuts off. It's not in protect mode it just turns off entirely. My door/dash speakers warble, then go to producing a clicking noise. If I turn the car off and let it sit for a couple minutes, everything works fine when I turn it back on. Keep in mind t…

i already have the epicenter but i want something i can use on newer songs just for that extra punch. can anybody give me any info on the bass cube or reviews?
