Will be installing my second RF T1500bd-cp tuesday and need to know if i should use a spliter on my rca cable or use the pass thru on one of the amps?

What amp would be recommended for 2 18in BTL fully loaded? and where could i get the amp you recommend? thanks guys

Ok, i have a pioneer avic N3 but the rca's are bad on the unit. how do i replace them or repair them. i have used a line output converter but i really dont like to use them. any help would be great. THANKS!!!!!!! Eddie G

im lookin to finally upgrade my electrical im only running 1 1200 but i have big plans coming im just looking for a good batt for under the hood then add some to the back thanks.

Hey guys I'm upgrading my system and I'm buying a 12" Fi SSD. I have been researching amps but I'm not sure what to buy. I don't want to break the bank with this amp. What amp have would you guys recommend? By the way I need to be able to fit 0 gauge in it. Thanks in advance, Matt

what would be the perfect amp to use with an 18'' btl, i do not want to over power it. its a dual 1 ohm

im looking to buy 2 new batteries for the back of my truck. ill be runnin a 225 amp alt with the IA40.1 and a 4 channel alpine 4x90w.. im leanin toward the powermaster d2400's.. the 2 other batteries on my list would be the Xstatic Batcap model 2000 or the Deka Intimidator Battery - 9A31 opinions please..?

whats up, has anyone heard of Mechman alternators? if so what have you guys heard about them? http://mechman.com/store/product_info.php/cPath/8_717_1048_1912_1950_1953/products_id/273 ^^^^^ Theres the liink to the site.

what mini MONO amp would u recommend in the 60-100Wrms range on 4ohm (that could be pluged into 12V car socket) ... you can point out a DIY amp also

Hey guyz, i heard 2 pops about 2 seconds apart then hit play on my iphone and silence. Ive had 2 different amps on my door speakers. ONe was an alpline mrp300.4 or something like that and now i have phoenix gold octane 9.0.1. both are 5 channel and i used only the 4 channels for my door speakers. I have pioneer 5800mp headunit, the pico fuse is blown so i catch a goodbit of alt whine and noise. which leads me to think that has something to do with the amps blowing? Could that have an effect on the amp if the fuse is blown? I checked all fuses and connections. It wasnt playin music when it happened either, which is weird to me. Please help me fix what im doing wro…

Anybody have any suggestions, pros or cons about this? I have a nice JVC (forget the model#) that has a bad a@@ equalizer and five volt preouts, and basicly everything I want in a headunit. I've done a lot of research on here and in general about line drivers, some people swear by them and some say they are a waste of money. Anyways I came across an Audio Control video that explained the said line driver and they were saying that like power wire rca's tend to lose a little power with longer runs and could possibly pick up noise and such. In general I'm looking to get just the cleanest signal I can get and was wondering if i could get that by adding this piece? I'm not wor…

Starting yesterday my sub will play and then stop. I'm running 1 psi 15 inch platform 2 sub wired to 4 ohms on a hifonics zeus 3200 watt amp. The hifonics light on amp will still be illuminated but the light on the bass knob will fade until it's off completely. When I restart the car the sub sometimes will play and other times Not. All wires are secure. Any ideas?

I'm working my Audioque 4x90 to death. I need a big 2 channel to temporarily run my 2 SA-12's. The only thing I come across that really catches my interest are Rockford's. The New P500-2, older P550.2 and T3002 are serious dopeness. I'm not worried about a subsonic because they're sealed for the time being. I don't mind not being able to give them 750-800 per but I do want to give them atleast 250 each. I was looking at the Sundown 125.2 but I don't know just how much it does at 4ohm bridged. Oh and I'm not worried about the money I'm spending on this amp and spent on the sealed box cuz they'll both go into my gf's car when she gets it. When I do get a mono it'll be somew…

I have 1 polk audio MM2104 10 inch sub which runs 300 rms and 600 peak. I want the best SQ amp but do want it to hit. It has to be brand new and no more than 200$ What should I get?

Hey everyone. Was thinking of picking up a Crescendo Audio BC2000D amp to run 1 15" sub. My question is what kind and how many batteries do you think i would need? I have a 200 amp alt. and have done the big 3. The car this is going into is not a daily driver. Mostly just to car shows. Any help would be great. Thanks

so i have another question ok here it go's. so im gonna be running 2 3000Ds to 2 Fi Btls would it be better to strap the amps together or run each amp unstraped 1 amp to each speaker sepretly?

Anyone have any inside info or guesses as to when car audio manufacturers will be using Toslink cables for connections. Stepping up from a decent RCA cable to a fiberoptic cable made a noticible differnce in my HT set up.

As the title say's i am going to pick up a alpine head unit.I took apart the dash in the car as i have never installed a radio before i was lookin to see what i was gettting into.Looks like it is going to be pretty easy exept for the end result.The molding i have now is for the stock radio with knobs , i would like to keep it.Any ideas on how i can mod the current set up to work with the new set up or buy some kind of aftermarket piece that looks the same?Pictures below. 1. 3.

How do most HUs hold up under high voltage, say 16V?

needs some opinions on a good 1/2 din eq for under 150. just what some people are using. the main thing that i want is two inputs not aux just frt and rear with three outputs but if i have to i can do without.

I was wondering if you buy an amp, if you can send it back to kicker without going through a dealer? Is there special things for competitors or what? What would you do about going through with this?

I've had a Mag D2 for about a month now. And ever since I've had it, when my hu is at high volumes and the bass is hitting hard, it skips like crazy. I have just a normal $150 JVC hu, it sucks and I'm saving up for a new one. But are there any suggestions to help keep it from skipping? (foam or any padding?)

i know this is a stupid ? lol ... if i have the bass boost off on the amp then will the bass boost knob up that comes w the amp work or is it just worthless?

Thinking about doing a setup involving a D1 sub.... wut amps can do that?

Hey everyone, I need a distribution block that will input 1/0 gauge wire and output two 4 gauge wires and two 8 gauge wires. Or alternatively a distribution block that will input a 1/0 gauge wire and output three 4 gauge wires then another block that will input a 4 gauge wire and output two 8 gauge wires. But what I'm thinking, is just for a little more money I can get a second battery, hook the 1/0 gauge up to the positive post, then hook all the other wires up to the positive post without a need for the distribution blocks. I'd be spending just a little more money (the smallest powermaster battery on ebay is about $90..not sure if that'd even be beneficial) but I'd b…
