Anyone have any experience with the precision power amps? I have a d2000/1 but have never used it, just checked to make sure it worked. Just got 2 sundown SA 12's and wondering if this would be a good amp for them. I also have a sundown 1000d but I think the SA 12's would do better with more power, just wanting some input from some of you with more experience than myself.

does any one know how i would hook this up to the fan and my amp?http://www.darvex.com/store/pc/Stinger-Adjustable-Fan-Controller-63p195.htm#details

I have a Autotek 1000.1 Mono amp, and 2 JL w6v2's in a sealed boxing coming in Friday. Does anyone have any recommendations for a amp kit? decent, quality, and a good price! Please let me know thanks

I am looking at these there.All three are around the same price. Going to be pushing a Dcon 10 in a sealed box.Seems like they all get some decent ratings.Not sure If would really need the power of the Brutus for the Dcon though. 1.Hifonics BRZ1200.1D 2.Alpine MRP-M650 3.Alpine MRP-M500

I am looking for some real world tests done on the 3 types of batteries that show current draws to voltage drops, charge rates, how they funciton and how they differ from one another in a more technical way than "one is wet and one is dry" i seem to recall reading some where that AGM could deliever greater power in a shorter time than a standard lead acid but i cant find anything confirming or deneying this on google. thanks.

recommendations needed for an amp the plan currently is to run incriminator audio comps up front and a dcon 15 dual 4 in a ported box in the back now Id prefer to only have to run one amp and to slightly over power the dcon so what 4 channel amps do you think would be worth it to bridge the rear channels or are there any great 3 channels or even 5 channels since I could hook the rear channel on a 5 channel to my drop down tailgate speakers Thanks guys

In testing for competition, MECA enforces fuse sizes for specific divisions in your class. In testing, if you are trying to pull 2-3x the fuse rating of your inline fuses.. and they keep popping, can that damage the amp? I haven't started yet but i was thinking the amps would be susceptible to low voltage conditions at high volume when the fuses pop and could eventually cause damage, maybe immediately. Is this true?

Is this ok or a no-no? I just added 4 gauge wire in addition to the factory wire(wired it to the same spot and sanded paint off the ground) and replaced the factory battery terminal blocks with stinger ones.

Im about to buy a 10" icon and a sae-1000D but i was wondering on how i should buy the power wires. I was thinking of buying a wiring kit but they just seem really expensive and im not sure which to get. Or should i just get buy the wire and the connectors and fuses etc. Where could i find good wiring kits and a place to buy wire and connects and fuses online? I know about weldingsupply.com. Anyone ever used this site?

I need to get a cheap crossover fast so I can take out my damn 3sixty.2 which is having bluetooth issues and send it in AGAIN...anyway. How bad are the crossovers on this page: Parts Express Any other suggestions on something I can get cheap. Something with high level inputs would be ideal, but I can run a LOC too. Best case would be 2 way active plus sub, but I really could get by with out the sub and without the bandpass on the mid channel because I could use the amp crossover for that (my mains are on a pair of Sundown 100.2's).

In my next build i want to do something other than a ordinary heaunit. I was thinking about something along the line of a android headunit,tablet, or even a carputer. What would it take for something like this to work?

I know I need a fuse block going from my first battery (battery under hood) to my second battery but would I need another fuse block going from my second battery to my amp

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.

Hi guys I've been looking around at some mids and highs. I'm thinking about trying to run 2 6.5s an 2 tweeters in each front door of a 03 ford explorer and maybe some coaxials in the rears. My question is what kind of amp should I run a 2 channel or a 4 channel? It's seems the 2 channels are usually quite a bit cheaper. What are advantages of running a 4 channel?

Ok so i got the power wire and my rca running next to each other, B) , is their somethng i can put in bewteen them to make it not whine...

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…

hey all, im having a hard time finding used/refurb sax 100.4 (about 350$). i was wondering if anyone could recommend an amp that will put out similar performance for about the same price. my speakers are cdt classic series which handle about 100 rms each. thx-phil

I haven't done much electrical wise in my new suv and came across so unexpected money. I was wondering should I take the money and by two maybe 3 batteries or buy a quality h/o alt. I'm still running the sundown 2500d. If I buy batteries I plan on running an xs d925 under the hood and an xs d3400 in the back. Thanks guys

Got info from our Kinetik Rep that they are going to be releasing 2 new lines in their 12v power cell line up the 2 are 1. HC3800 ~ 3800 watt 12v power cell 2. HC1200 ~ 1200 watt 12v power cell I don't have the dimensions yet or the specs... so if anyone does can they kindly post them mainly the dimension or the Ah

installing my new system and my buddy says no dont run fuses.this is what im running 4 runs of 0 gauge wire from the front battery 2 power 2 ground,in the back i have 2 kinetik 3800s and a 300 amp altenator but the alt wire is fused.there is currently no fuses on the power wires for the truck but have not finished yet so just wondering what everyones opion is.im thinking 2 under the hood one on each power 2 before the batterys in the back and 2 after the batterys in the back.thanks

So I got my kinetik hc1400 and installed it today, and then tonight my dad was like did you get a new alt too?.. I was like what omg?!? you told me not to invest in one in this car.. And he was like well I didn't know you were going to buy more batts, he's like you seem to need a lot of power so you might as well just get an alt.. I was like omg yay, SO.. Now I figure since he said I should get one, that gives me a good excuse to finally buy 1 I have dreamed of getting one for 2 years. So Im going to save up for one now but need help first, Alright.. Down to the point, I have no idea how many amps I need the alt to do for my system and I need a good alt because I don't …

My friend recently purchased one of these and he wanted to know if they were good or not?

Im looking for an amp to push two ICON 10s. Im on a budget so I really dont want to spend more than $450. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

ok, since fords are a bit**, and the ground and power wire are connected behind the engine, and i would never be able to get them off and back on without taking alot of stuff off, maybe even the engine, can i just cut the original wires, close to where it is connected and just add my new wire to it. Because most people say that if you do the same with an amp it wont make a diffrence, so would it work. nv about clip.

I curious to know how you guys determine how many batteries you need to back up your power. I'm looking at running around 7000-7500 RMS. I've called and emailed around regarding HO alts for my car, the largest alt I've been able to find is around 250amp I've seen ppl talking about ca, cca, and ah, but how do those numbers help you determine what you need. I'm rather new to systems this big, I'm talking more than 1 extra batt in the trunk. Thanks for that help
