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 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

Im looking for a good 4-way crossover for an active system. I dont want anything cheap but i still want it to be reasonable priced. Thanks Corey

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

I havn't posted here in awhile since I was comfortable enough with the stereo setup I had in my Altima. But I just bought a new car and need some advice on whether or not I should keep the stock deck and run a LOC or if I should replace it with an aftermarket deck. A little background on the vehicle, 2007 Chrysler 300 with a sound package that gives me 8 speakers and an amplifier to run them. Three 3.5s on the dash, 2 6x9s in the front doors, 2 6x9s on the rear deck, an infinite baffle 8 inch subwoofer housed in the rear deck and a 368w amplifier. I kept the amplifier(sae100d) and subwoofer(z15) from my previous install, so they will handle the low bass. I don't plan on c…

Has anyone heard of concorde sun xtender batteries? Someone local to me is selling some and was wondering if they would be the same as any agm battery for car audio.. could get a good deal on them for the amount of amp hours they are. Just never heard of them before. Any input is appreciated

Starting yesterday my sub will play and then stop. I'm running 1 psi 15 inch platform 2 sub wired to 4 ohms on a hifonics zeus 3200 watt amp. The hifonics light on amp will still be illuminated but the light on the bass knob will fade until it's off completely. When I restart the car the sub sometimes will play and other times Not. All wires are secure. Any ideas?

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.

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?

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?

I have a 3 way electronic crossover 18db slope and rta on my Head unit. I have 3 6 volt preouts front, rear, and subs, I have my tweets run off front channel and my mids ( 2 5.25's ) off the rear channel and the subs my question is. I know what freq the crossover points are, but I am not sure what Q is on the crossover, I can adjust the freq range and the q of the crossover. And I think I may be doing my high and low pass on the bandpass portion incorrectly. I have the high pass set to 3500 and the lowpass set to 100, was not sure about the Q so I left it alone. I have not done anything with RTA, I messed with it some but could not tell a real difference in positioning b…

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

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.

Okay let's say I buy an alt from a company and I'm not happy with the performance (idle output) of the alt can I send it to a different company and have them make it basically one of their alternators?

i have 4 choices to choose for an amp for my re audio xxx comps since i really didn't like the offers i had for them. and so i am looking at amps for them and here is what i am thinking. Sundown Saz100-2 Kickers sx250.2 (if they can handle 250 watts) Kickers 400.2 Jl 300/2 These are 2 ohm speakers and i am only going to be running a front stage so they neet to able to get fairly loud since i will be having 2 12" icons for the subs.

I need help deciding on an amp for my two SDC 2.5 Dual 4. Looking in price range of $400 or less. Looking for 1200 to 1500 watt at 1 ohm. Any other suggestions are welcome that fit what i am looking for.

yeah, so today after work, i installed all my 0 gauge wiring from that 5 gauge that was in there before. i also went from the little 60 amp fuse under the hood to a 250 amp fuse. now before the switch, everything sounded good. nice stead, clean bass. but ever since i put in the 0 gauge wire, it gets louder, then softer and loud again and doesnt sound very clean. i messed with the setting on the amp to see if anything had changed and still got the same results. any ideas on what this could be? i also installed new RCA's if that matters.

I plan on buying a flip out in the next few days and was wondering what you guys think about these 3 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/compare_items.php?imageField.x=118&imageField.y=15&product_ids=39667%2C40239%2C40240%2C35048&hide_highlights=yes&hide_similar_features=&remove_products[]=35048 I'm willing to look at other ones but need to be somewhere around this price range. Thanks

anyone know of where i can get a Head Unit repaired at? I have an older panisonic that i bought solely to play dvd-audio and it wont read either of the 2 dvd-a discs i have... it plays cds and dts fine but not dvd-a

ok so i was still looking at buying a sub amp and i started talking to this guy that said he has a audiobahn A18001DT brand new in the box that he will sell me for $200....does that sound like a pretty good deal?,it sounds like one to me i just dont know alot about that amp.i know this amp retailed pretty high and everything but i wanted you guys opinion on this before i do it.

I am starting to debate what amp I should go with, Rockford Fosgate t40001bd, Autotek MM4000, or IA40.1. Pricing doesn't concern me that much, I am more looking for a "which would be a better amp to go with" I am guessing it to be in this order, but am not 100% IA40.1 T40001bd MM4000.1D Thanks I was lookin more for the IA, cuz they aren't as popular as the forgate, but they are becomming harder n harder to find.

does anyone know where i can buy raptor 0 gauge wire i have checked bunch of online stores and cant seem to find it i would like to keep all my wires matching but the store here i got it from first time charges 85$ for 25 foot wanna try to find it online cheaper if possible Thanks

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
