Hey everyone. Does anyone have a good used amp for sale? Mono block 2ohm between 500 & 1000 rms watts.

Im thinking getting one of these amps. Has anyone had experience with this series?

I currently own a 1995 Ford Mustang that I am thinking of trading it in (this car is great and cursed at the same time). This car has a 130Amp stock alternator and I currently have a SAE-1000D powering a Stereo Integrity Mag with 1000W RMS @ 1ohm. I also have a Crossfire CFA302 amp rated at 75W RMS x 2 @ 4ohms. I've never had a problem with these amps, so I never thought about upgrading my alternator to an aftermarket model that produces 200+ amps. Anyway, I'm looking at a few different possibilities for my next ride. I want a Nissan 350Z or a new Mustang GT, but that would require saving up for the next few years. I also thought about getting a truck, either a Toyot…

I think that the rca's might possibly be going bad on my pioneer DEH P6400. I am wanting to replace it but i dont want to buy a crappy one. what do u recommend that fits my budget of $200-$250? I prefer the look of flip down faces i dont really like seeing a cd slot in the face.And maybe a remote like my pioneer has

I just want to learn about this amp some more, I have only seen one in a car, and the owner was not there to turn it on, so I would like to find out more

I have front and trunk batteries in parallel and want to know how to charge them together without taking them out of the car if its possible. I don't want to just hook charger up while everything else is connected and burn out an amp or anything else electrical in the car. But if its safe to do it then that would help instead of going through the whole routine of taking each one out and doing them one at a time.

I checked my battery, nothing is touching + and - I checked the amp, the power wire and ground fit nice and snug with no loose strands The amp worked last night......all i did was unhook wires, move it to the trunk and hook the wires back up....I'm at a loss The only thing i can think of is its somehow shorted in the amp, but i didn't shake, tip, etc. since last night...i don't think the power wire is cut since i turned the car on and the fuse in the engine bay is fine. I have an AQ1200D and two SDC2.5 subs by the way.

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.

would it be possibile to run my jl 500/1 to 4 coponents and a set of tweeters. i would have to turn down the gains ,but would it be a good or a bad idea to even try somthing like that.

First of all i'm thinking of running 2 audio que 18s (HDC318) on 2000w rms a piece, is this possible? If it is possible, would i only need 1 ho alt and how many amps? 300? lastly, should i switch my stock battery with something different AND throw one in the trunk or what would you suggest? Thanks.

Hi my step brother has two phoenix gold octane 10s and a phoenix gold 2 channel amp, and when he has both subs hooked up the amp goes into protect mode but when only one is wired to it it plays fine but when u hook two up again it goes back into protect mode... occasionally it will play with both wired up but only for about 1 min. then it goes back into protect mode until 1 is unwired. is it the subs or amp (oh yea one of the subs sounds like its blown but still plays just distorted)

ok, my s10 3 door has the ram designed box now only problem is the box comes to 3" below the back window. and takes up the whole extra cab. 4.75 cubes. my idea for mounting the 2500d are now limited. can it be mounted upside down? i was thinking of building/welding brackets across roof and mounting upside down. any ideas are helpful

Hey everyone, I was just looking into buying the female adapter end for my '03 Civic radio harness so I don't have to chop anything up in there. Everything seems straight foward except a couple of wires that I'm not really sure how to match them up. Here's the color coordinations for each harness. 03 Stock Harness: Radio 12v: Red/White Radio Ground: Black Radio Ignition/Acc: Yellow/Red Radio Illumination: red/black Factory amp turn on: N/A Power Antenna: N/A Female Harness: Aftermarket HU harness: Power Antenna Lead (Blue) . Remote Turn-On Lead (Blue/White) Audio Interrupt In Lead (Pink/Black) Illumination Lead (Orange) Switched Power Lead (Ignition) (Red) Battery L…

i have 2 SAZ-3000D and the slave amp keeps going into protect mode.Its only at semi hi volumes, i checked the ground and all the other connections. They seem to be fine, not sure what it could be any ideas?

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.

Ok I got to thinking the other day about the way I wired my sub to my amp. I am sure this has been discussed before. But I have been unable to locate the answer. If it has I appologize now. The sub is an Alpine SWR-1222D and the amp is a MB Quart Discus 1000.1 Monoblock. The way I have it wired now is in parallel to 1Ohm with one set of wires to the amp on the outer positive and outer negative terminals. According to the manual that is for single svc sub. Is that way ok or should I physically wire each coil straight to the amp. As the amp automatically parallels both sets of terminals which would make this a 1Ohm load as well. Which way is better the way I h…

hey guys i have a power aucoustik amp 4 channel and its in protect and its not the wireing or anything cause we hooked up a different amp in its same location and that one works fine. i opend the power aucoustik amp and nothing looks out of place but maybe there could be something wrong of the other side of the board you cant see ? ill have to check that but i dont know if i want to completly remove the whole case so i can see the other side. im not using this amp but my friend is counting on useing it is there anything i can do , it was working fine and he called me to his house and it was on protect the fuse was blown put in a new fuse still in protect .

So I've been looking at a bunch of nav head units, and these two seem like the best out there. I haven't had a chance to use either as I can't find any local shops that have either in stock. What is the general consensus on these two? Is there a clear cut winner? I've heard that the pioneer's have a high failure rate, and they often times freeze up, is that true? They have a gorgeous UI, but if it doesn't work I guess it's not that great. My other concerns with the pioneer are the low RMS power output, no name GPS, and only a single USB input. Would I need an amp with the pioneer or is 14 watts RMS enough for components and mid basses (no subs yet)? Is the GPS comparable …

I'm just curious without the ac converterr, what would happen if I cut the power wire and connected it to the battery, or a 12 volt connection. Would it A. burn up the ps2 B. Not get ebough power C. work just fine. I say B

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?

Just bought a pair of Kicker SX900.4 amps from HiFi Connection for under $300 each (through their ebay link). Nice 4 channel amp for that price and they are an authorized dealer! Brian

Well I just started today really trying to tweak everything on my amplifiers to get everything working correctly. I started with my big amp setting the gain with a DMM. all that went well but I noticed that my subsonic may have been off. So I popped in a tone to 33hz to try and make it cutoff at that point and its not. I cranked it up to 60 hz (has a range of 10-60hz) and it is still not cutting that signal out. Is it possible I have a faulty SSF? I have a SAZ-3500D and a SAX-50.4

I just got an amp Its a crossfire 360 that got in trade. I tried to hook it up and one channel is real low and the other is clear when I play music thru it. Ok lets get down to the nitty gritty What I want to know is 1) Might it be blown? 2) The entire amp Blown or just that channel? 3) Is it safe to run the amp like that ? 4) I have looked and looked and I cannot find a PDF file for this amp, can someone help ? I think Thas It if you guys need any more info Feel free to ask and I will post as much information as I know and I can see on this problem. Thanks again and I have to say this is a Great Site. Very helpful.

I just bought a sundown saz 2500d...I was wondering which battery should i buy. i'm looking at a yellow top or a XS Power D2400. I don't have money to buy 2 at this time but i do plan on buying another one of which ever i buy to put in the back. Thanks guys

I have a Soundstream RUB 1600 watt amp wire at 1 ohm. When I set my gains I used the typical 50hz, sub wires disconnected, etc... I set the voltage to 40 volts on the nuts. Hooked everything back up and let er rip. Sounds fine. Well I finally got around to mounting the amp and cleaning up the wires. Before I did that though I double checked my gains. Voltage was at 47 volts? What would cause it to rise like that? I used the same tone as before. So I have been checking it off and on for the last couple days and sure enough, volts keep rising up even the the gain knob hasn't been touched. Any idea on why it would do this? I've checked everything from the battery back and ev…
