I want to make 2 buss bars, one for ground and one for positive. I'd like to mount them to opposite sides of the same piece of wood. No pieces of metal will touch, so would this be ok?

sooo yeah, basically i'm just looking for some tips to stop my head unit from skipping due to vibration. as it stands now my deck (Pioneer DEH-3800MP), most of the time gives me no problems when the volume is at 35/64, but when i go higher to 40, and sometimes even 38, the bass makes it vibrate and skip. i'm just wondering if there are any tips or better ways to secure my deck to limit this problem. i'm planning soon to double my subwoofer power (getting 2 IA LI's), so i'm hoping to get this solved before that. i've read somewhere that skipping can be a voltage issue and one way to solve it is to go around the wiring harness and wire the deck directly to the battery, …

Hey, im just curious what a good amp would be to use for a pair of Jl's 10W3v3?

do I have to have a fused distrubution block for my power wire.

Hi all, need some help, planning on installing my 200amp alt today. I see the factory wiring in my 98 GMC jimmy has an 8 guage going from (i think) alternator all the way to the fuse box then back to the battery? correct? now i have a piece of 4 gauge from a previous install around 16" long. the big question is can i just run directly from the alt to the battery? and if so what do i do with the factory stuff going to the fuse box? just leave it? or will that blow the fuse in the fuse box and cause problems? or should i disconnect it and just let it dangle? my battery is a 3 year old (weak) ac delco 680 c.a or c.c.a cant remember, and i did ground the battery to the frame …

Yet another question by me hopefully you guys can help me out Would i be able to run an SAE-1200d for my two 12" Lethal Injections and a RF p5002 for a pair of Re Audio components (it will run at 4 ohms, 125watts each) on a stock alt (110amps) with the big three done?

I am looking at get one of the new ROCKFORD FOSGATE T2500-1 bd Amps And I was wondering if anyone knew much about them yet. I did some reading up on it and it seems like a decent amp for the price. Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hey guys, im going to be using a sae-1200d with stock alt (110amps). I was wondering if i could use the 4gauge wire, or should i definitely use the 0 gauge. Also... What battery terminals do you recommend.

hello guys, just wanted to ask if there is a benefit of changing from a 701 to a bitone? would we get a significant gain in SQ for doing such? assuming that all we need is letsay on the 701 already... thanks.

I had one question and maybe a manufacturer can answer this, why is it that eq's have boost circuits instead of just reducing the overpowering frequencies? If your boost the frequency voltage, doesn't that create an undesireable risk of clipping in the system?

Has anyone ever dealt with or heard about Motor City Remanufacturing Alternators? I know someone that is selling one for my explorer and would like to know how reliable this company is. http://www.motorcityreman.com/index.html is the website Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

To my friend for 270.. he said he will take it off my hands... i don't really know if i should it . i have to take it all out again... and then go back to my 250.2rf.... and then wait another week if i get another aq1200d for 250... or maybe i can get a custom box from audible customs.....I currently have a prefab:( so what should i do???

my stock alt just went bad and i need a ho alt. i need some opinions. i have a 2000 gmc jimmy.

im looking to do the big 3 in my truck. i was wondering if i could do this in 4awg instead of 1/0 since all im running is the setup in my sig and not even 1000 watts. i have no plans of upgrading in the near future, so i figure why not. im gonna be using knu for the wire, and their 4awg is a lot cheaper per foot then the 1/0. also, i have everything i need for my sub and amp and everything, except speaker wire. i was also looking at knu for this. i was wondering what you guys which speaker wire from them, and which gauge you guys would recommend. if you guys could give me some links that would be awesome. THANKS! for any info you guys can give.

Hi guys i hope u can answer a question for me. Is there any way to test an amps rms rating other than a bench?? Possibly having it installed in my truck?? Thanks in advanced

hey everyone, my first post on ssa, woot woot, As of now, I have a fi bl 15, hifonics 1208d (i know everyones facorite brand of amps) getting wire for the big 3 and a h/o alt. anyways i ended up with some more money and was wondering if i should trade my amp back and for 200 for what i payed, get a rockford power t10001bd. i have been reading up on Alphasonic and ive been getting mixed reviews on them. i could get one and then sell my hifonics and still have some cash left over. but people have been telling me that Alphasonic and Hifonics are very similar if not the same in terms of basicly about everything. Im new to this and it is my first real system that im having, Ro…

hi there, im using a single sub, an RE MT15, and im looking for review and opinions on which amp to use, i focused my eyes on two amplifiers, thE SUNDOWN SAZ-3000D and the SOLID AUDIO F2500D which would be better, in terms of power efficiency (if it takes less stress on the alternator and is not a power hogger), internals (would it be strong enough to handle the heat and be long lasting) and performance (if it would perform in hot climates, bring perfect power output not like other amps i know which are overrated). basing on these two amps, i want to have the best amp to use on my RE MT15. btw my ride is a 95' mitsubishi mighty max double cab (mitsu L200 pickup double ca…
