well here are some gut shots of my new mids and highs amp. this will be part of an active two way front stage.

guys what do you think between these two companies when it comes to there big amps?

So yea I was looking for some 1/0 awg wire for the car.... and i remember somebody posting a link to some welders wire that was fairly inexpensive. I looked for one of the 2 sites i remember being listed but couldnt find them.... anyonehave suggestions?

Concept HP-65.4 Amplifier Description: RMS Power 70W x 2 @ 4 Ohm RMS Power 135W x 2 @ 2 Ohm RMS Power 260W x 1 @ 4 Ohm MONO Signal-to-noise ratio: 100 dB Frequency Response: 5Hz - 50kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.05% Continuously variable 0 - 18dB BASS boost Built-in continuously variable 18dB per octave crossover Input sensitivity: 200mV - 4V Engraved CONCEPT logo Gold connectors Small footprint Dimension: 13-2/5" x 6-6/7" x 2"

Alright I know I havent posted anything on here in a while but let me bounce and idea off of you guys... I bought a d3100 recently and upgraded my grounds and I am about 13.9v on full bore depending on my rpms. Now I am pushing a dc lvl 5 15" on a SAZ-3500D. My question is - do I buy another 3500D and put 7k watts (not sure what clamped would be) on it? Its a d2 woofer so I think its possible to wire it down to 1 ohm using 2 amps.. My other idea would be to get rid of the 15 and get 2 dc lvl 5 12s and another 3500D. In order to power both my ideas I would need another 3500D (or sell it and get one massive amp) and another 3100. Oh and I also have a 200 amp alty with the …

Now that the "Digital Conversion" has happened, can I receive the 10 or so digital channels in the car? I've see some of the digital converter boxes that run on 12 volts. What I"m really trying to get at is "How well can you receive the signal while in motion?" . I've seen it used for things like tailgating, where the vehicle is stationary. If possible I wanna be able to watch the local news on my way home from work or catch the Simpsons, etc.

I don't know if you guys even talk about video here, I did a search but didn't find anything. I was wondering what are some good quality 7" or 6.5" headrest monitors? I am putting one in my dash and have been looking at dei and sony. Can't find many companies that make a plain monitor w/o all the buttons on them. Eclipse has a nice one but not shipping till may or june and clarion's are nice but has buttons on them. I was looking at farenheit but I heard they are not good quality and customer service in near zero, and this was from one of their dealers. Also looking at visualogic or something like that, at a dealer but they come with the headrest only. any help would be …

Anyone here ever tried to bypass, defeat, or remove the on-board x-over on an amp(class D specifically). My head unit can take care of this function. It would be nice to have up front control.

I just picked up a pair of MTX Thunder TA81001D amps, and according to the engineers at MTX there is no way to disable the subsonic filter or bypass the built in EQ in the pre-amp board (which is a crock). The TA92001, TE4001, and TE1501 units all have a button to bypass all of this garbage, but no such button exists on the TA81001. If you take the pre-amp board out, you can clearly see a spot on the board for the bypass switch - Labeled as "S102". MTX refuses to give me a schematic or instructions on what needs to be jumpered, removed, etc. to eliminate the EQ and Subsonic filter pieces. I'm about to tear into it myself, but figured I would ask here first. If anyone has …

Anyone know how or who to talk to?

i need fairly reasonable amp(s) to power these two drivers, also how many yellow tops would be good for this application if im using a 200 amp alt? if its not two much trouble can someone break the channel thing down for me as far as when you would use what type of amp..

hi guys my question is. can a low battery bank cause my mmats hd 4000.5 to clip pre maturely.

stupid question i just installed my nw Alpine MRP M850. now, on the other amp

now i have been running mono amps for a while, and some have 1 speaker output and some have 2.... why??? like my T10001BD had 2, but my swiss audio SDX2000D had one... i dont understand ????

Alright guys..i have an Eclipse TI series 12" running in my truck. Right now i have a kenwood kac7202 with 4gauge wiring and a 1F capacitor. The amp doesnt put out enough power..so Should i buy a mono block amp or 2 channel and bridge it? And what amps do you recoment for this sub? my budget is not huge so take it easy on me lol.. Any help it all getting more sound outa this thing will be aprreciated!

Hi Looking for some help with this please - on whether I should expand: I have the following setup: - Sony headunit (not sure what model but it its only 25w x 4 with ~2v preouts - Alpine MRV F300 - Alpine SPX 17PRO component set - Alpine SBR S8 4 subwoofer I have connected the SPX 17 PRO set to two channels of the F300 amplifier. I have bridged the other two channels of the F300 and connected this to the subwoofer (only 150W RMS). I don't play my music at or near the full volume often. Would you recommend adding a monoblock to the system (maybe Alpine M500) to drive the amplifier? I don't often have anyone in the back seat so have not put another set in t…

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…

I just purchased two eclipsee 88120 subs in a dual chambered custom box in which each chamber is tuned to 34 hz. The subs are dual 4 ohm, so they can be wired down to a 1 ohm load together. But, since the box is dual chambered, I would have to remove the ports and drill through the divider, which I would rather not do, to achieve this 1 ohm load. If I were to wire each sub down to 2 ohms at its own speaker terminal, filling both terminals, what would be the end impedance for both drivers?

What are the differences between the 2 if there are any?

i bought this a while ago i did my big 3 with it but the rest of my system is going to be all knu could this be a weak link ? http://www.amazon.com/Monster-1s-125-Powerflex-Magnetic-Quality/dp/B004BXTMOC is this like true 1/0 i cant find anywhere of what load it can handle like on the knu site it tells you how many amps their wire can handle

I cant do both. I have one Iraggi HO alt rated 160-200A @ idle, 220A peak should I add 1 more bigger alt to the AC bracket or add 2 more 100aH Oreilley AGMs, Intimidator knock offs

ive narrowed it down to these few: optima yellow top(are there different models? g31 or something) svr 80-12 oddssey 1700 oddssey 2150 Deka intimidator oddssey = stinger, right? dont know how many of each i will run, i know tho if i run like the 1700, i would have to get more than if i run the 2150, since the 2150 is bigger right? as of now i have the 2 15" mts and 2 orion d5000's. im looking for a third of each, and POSSIBLY a 4th. i'd love to have 4 15" mts and 4 d5000's!!!!!

ok last thread i promise- i wanna keep this clean and no bs posts, just information please. reason is that i'm positive this is the last thread is becuase i got my tweeters in, and they were hard to find, i got the 8 of the last 10 pairs they had in stock, and i only paid dealer cost (48 a pair SHIPPED) vs like 80 a pair where most others sell them for. anyways, they're still bullets, i know you guys wont like them, but they are comparable to Eminence sound wise, they're a tad bit louder too, 109dB efficient.... also, they look better too. again, not to most of you guys, but i didnt want 16 big square eminence tweeters, so i got these, they look like the Beyma/o2 bullets,…

Well, I was planning on running two 15 or 18 Fi audio Q/Bl/Btl. On on a orion 2500D. but found a RF T30001 BD for like $750, seems like a good upgrade for not much more...right? opinions..?

I have a question can you send an alternator away to get built so it will put out more amps or is that something you could do at home with like a kit or would i just be better off buying a new bigger one? let me know what you all know/ think. Thanks!
