Anyone fix amps!?

Got 320 amp mechman now need advice on wiring and what type of lithium battery setup to get, wanting to run about 4-5k RMS total and hold voltage. I've read that I should run a regular lead battery with a lithium, never done a lithium setup before and need advice, all help appreciated really excited about this build!

hi, i had to change my plans and have to go with a more budget friendly set up around 300 for the front stage amp . ok right now i have a sundown sax100.4D that i love. but the problem is it is too long i need 3 inches of it to be cut off for it to be true love. so i am i going to have to sell it. and i was looking at small class d amps. and i saw the kenwood xr 4s. for roughly 300 it is rated for 120 rms at 4 ohms and can do active. and on diyma it seems to have gotten good reviews and i do like the fact that it has a fan.. but i never have ran kenwood before . and the only other options i can see for me is getting 2 2 channels amps and stacking them since i want atlea…

is this amp any good? ive heard its pretty good.

I have a 2007 honda accord and i am planning on doing my first amp installation, and i'm wondering if any of these outlets will be able to get through the firewall. if so how would i get it through?? do i just take the plug off, or do i cut through it?

Went out to my truck and followed the directions verbatim. Set my multimeter to read AC voltage, threw the 50hz tone up on the deck, and checked the voltage at the speaker terminals on my amp. I got nowhere near 30v, only 5.6v to start. Mind you, the gain level was at 3/4 at this point. What am I doing wrong?

My first official post of audio haha . Just had a quick little question, I have a 18" Fi BL and i want a good amp for it. So i am deciding to get a 1200 AudioQue amp or a Rockford Fosgate 1500-1bd. Any idea which amp I should get. Thanks guys !

I'm curious as to what I could upgrade to with my current electrical system. I currently have zero issues with voltage at full tilt with all lights and a/c on blast, steady 14.0 with my AB PH-4000 and Lanzar Vibe 231 (ick, yes eww) I have two group 65's and a group 29 ran with zero, big three with 200a alt. Batts are under backseat, so pretty short runs in my mountaineer. I used less than 30ft of wire (direct runs both positive and negative). How can I estimate this myself for future reference?

i plan on buying a sundown 2000D mono amplifier .. they will be powering 2 12 inch FI BLs and at 1 ohm. i have a stock alternator and battery and i wanna know how i should go about this. i know caps are bogus ive read the forums so i was thinking about replacing the stock battery with a kinetic one. would this be enough or would i need more ? i strained the alternator on my last car to the point were i cudnt start the car anymore i deffinitly dont want that happening again. all help is apreciated

I live in indianapolis. When the day comes that I get my equipment installed is there anyone on here that could help me with getting my amps setup properly so I do damage my speakers

I have an 06 impala and plan on installing my head unit in the next few days... I was wondering if anyone knew if it would hurt to hook my deck up without using the door chime box with the stage 2 harness. I have a bad habit of not wearing my seatbelt and do not want to listen to my car beep over and over again when im not buckled in . Does anyone know if it would hurt anything to just wire up the harness and cut the chime box plug off (or just leave it unhooked) when I install my stereo?

hello all, i have some questions regarding alt power. I currently have a 270a mechman, now my first question is do they have to be the same amprage, or can the other one be bigger or smaller? Second is do they have to be the same brand? Like can i use my stock 136a alt or a dc alt with mine or singer alt ? Would all that extra power mess with trucks electrical (05 dodge ram 4.7 ltr v8). If so, how would i be able to add another alt Have some voltage drop from 14.1 (when first starting truck) down to 12.1 at full tilt, running 2 crescendo bc3500s to 2 btls dual 2 ohms wired to 2 ohms and 1100.4, 3 runs of cca 0 ga positive and 3 negative to 5 interstate workoholic batter…

i just got a american bass vfl 500.1 not to long ago and i was wondering if anybody has one or knows a little about them.

Hey, i just got this amp. What are your feelings ? I am going to use it to power my subs. I already have a RF P400 powering my PG rsd 6.5 comps.

Im getting a Fi Q 15'. I was told to go Dual 2 and get a Hifonics 1600d amp, Recently I have found out that Hifonics suck and Dual 1's are better. What is the best amp sub combo Dual 1 and something else or Dual 2 and Hifonics 1600d? On a side note: Waht exactly os the difference between Dual1 and Dual 2?

just thought id share this they have 35 ah batteries for a decent price sealed lead acid agm batts http://www.parts-express.com/brand/power-sonic/509?utm_source=Retail&utm_medium=Email_Newsletter&utm_content=PowerSonic&utm_campaign=email111512

Can anyone recommend a good working EQ. I used to have an old PPI unit with my old set up, but I don't think it works anymore. I plan to get a SS RL-p 12, either the USAmps 2080 or 2100, CDT CL-62 and I already have a Diamond Audio 1200.1 for the sub. Are their any that I should stay away from?

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

Well, here is the deal: Ikesound is out of DEI 1100D5's, so when I returned mine because it wouldn't power up, they said that I can have store credit (haha), so I emailed them back and told them I want a refund. I am probably going to go with a pair of the US Amps IS series amps (IS 2200 and IS 4065). I will be splitting up the crossover on my 3 way rainbows to run the midrange and tweeter off of 2 channels and the midbass off of the other 2 channels of my amp. I have 2 long runs of rca's and 4 short pairs for what I previously planned on doing, so that is a factor. I also heard that it is bad for sq to have multiple processing devices, so that is why I am kind of wear…

So I've noticed my system makes makes a sound like bacon sizzlin' on a pan when I go from 0 to 1 on the volume knob. It's not noticable at normal listening volumes, but I'm sure it's still present in the signal. I was wondering if this should concern me.

I have a nendo BC2K that got a small amount of water in it,popped 2 transistors/mosfets.I'm having a hard time cross referencing the fets.I dont know if I have the P channel or the N channel fets,digikey pulls all sorts up.part number is IRF 3205.I'm grateful for any help.

i was just wondering if any of you have had any experience with this amp? i can get a KILLER deal on one in mint condition and wanted to know your thoughts and opinions of it. thanks

Does it matter to have multiple runs from alt to batt in the big 3 since its a short run when having multiple runs from front to back?
