i blew up my old 2000 watt brutus today and are in the market for a new amp...looking for roughly 1600-2000 real watts not the PA type chit. looking for opinions on the audiopipe ap1500's and also on the audiopipe woofs. always looking for new stuff

i was just wondering if anyone knew of a way i could download or put different backgrounds on the radio pretty sure i cant but was wondering if there was a way

so i see alot of people selling used batteries , capacitors, and batt-caps ect. (batteries are what im interested in) and i always thought that batteries and what not lose charge, voltage go dead or what ever you what to call it over time. so can you just keep them charged and they last forever? as always im lost lol

alpine 9886 vs eclipse cd5000 What do you guys think. the eclipse had 8 volt preamp outputs but the alpine works great with the ipod. Im looking for the best of both worlds

Has any body had any experience with this batteries. Take a look at this link http://www.supersportbatteries.com/DualPurpose.html

Can anyone tell me anything about this amp? http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=19074905 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=19075139

I have been using a stock HU with a LO convertor.... and I want to get the most out of my system. Problem is, I have a tahoe and I don't want to kill the functionality of onstar / anything else. What I want is a touch screen radio that is reliable and has good eq adjustments. I also need to plug my Ipod into it..... nav isn't really needed but it would be nice too. I was wondering if any of you would have some suggestions? Thanks

My son bought this amp and we know nothing about it. It is metallic purple and says US AMPS made in Florida on the top and the end says High Definition Reference Amplifier.

I have plans to run an AudioQue AQ2200D in a 2001.5 Passat (call it a 2002). I'd like to know what I need as far as electrical upgrades. I'd also like to know what a batcap would/wouldn't do for someone that likes to have a constant beat going. Lastly, if I need a second battery, how would I wire it up to the rest of the charging system? Thank you. EDIT: I believe the stock alt is about 90 amps.

well im looking for a used amp for 2 btl's so i guess im in the $7-900 range im mostly looking for efficiency , realiability , longevity, and a subsonic filter so if you guys could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it

What should I set the phase to on my mono amp if my 4ch. has no phase adj.

Don't buy these TXA-6004s they are defectve amps that someone got ahold of. The heatsinks are too small and they have a bad thermistor causing them to overheat and die.

I am going to be selling my current HU and upgradin soon and ive narrowed it down to the two I like. Please feel free to chime in on something better. 200 is about my price range http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_15932_...C+KS-PD100.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8737_Eclipse+CD5100.html

ok, im starting to upgrade my eletrical before i start doing my system. and i may add a second battery. ( i can fit a powermaster 3100d underhood ) and if add it. i was wondering if instead of running the positve and the negitave wire directly to each battery if i could run them to distribution blocks instead and go from the distribution blocks to the amps. i already have a 1/0 ground run and a 1/0 postive run. and i will get 1 sax100.2 @ 3 ohms. 1 sax 125.2 at 4 ohm. and a either a saz or sae1000d. so roughly 1500 rms total. but my truck only has a stock 90 amp alt. and i doing big 3 is 2/0 guage wire. ( it's welding wire)

So I've tried both my HU and Ipod for a source to my amp and wired the amp to 2 different subs at different impedances. Always turns out the same way, some rattling sound coming from the speaker. So Obviously it's the amp because I've tried two of everything else. The "sound" plays with the signal, not with engine RPM, so I know it's not related to my ground. You can hear it at low volume with gain turned up just enough for sound to come out. I think it's also causing my amp to go into protect mode prematurely for some reason because it would go into protect around 30 volts on the DMM when setting with a test tone. Amp is a Hifonics 1505d (explains a lot, I know) left ove…

Ok, so I just received and hooked up my saz3000d and everything went smooth. It is a very powerful amp. However, I am having one issue. While the truck is NOT running and my head unit is paused, or the av source is off (it is a avic-n4 nav) so the hu itself is still on, and so is the amp. There is a low humming sound coming from my subs. Something else I notice is when I touch the amp it either goes completely away or almost does. Can anyone shed any light on this for me please. More info you may want: I have quality rca jacks no where close to any other wires. I relocated my ground with no change. I have a memphis eq.

Could get a Sundown 125.2 and bridge it. Not 600watts, but would work fine.

Hi, How would you compare "Sundown SAX-50.4" with the following amps? Alpine MRP-F300 Audison SRX 4 Cadence iA4 Eclipse EA4100 JL 300/2 Kicker 350.4 I need an best fit amp for Image Dynamics CTX65CS speakers.

Hi Everyone I Am Currently Running My FI 15'' BTL In My Room Running On A Home Audio Plate Amp Thats Pushing Around 250 Watts. I Wanted To Put Lighting In The Box So Whenever The Bass Hit The Light Went With It. However I Dont Know How To Wire Any Lights Seeing How Most Lights Are 12 Volt. Does Anyone Know How I Wire Them ? The Plate Amp Is Plugged Into The Wall Which Is 120 Volts. Thank You ~ Kent ~ P.S. Here Are Some Pics Of The Sub, Plate Amp And Light Thanx

Ok so i got a 3sixty.1 It was free and brandnew versus the cost of a 3sixty.2 I know theres a big difference but i figure free can negate those differences for you. Anyway. My radio has some alternator whine/engine noise. Its an AVIC-F90BT. I was wondering if the 3sixty would negate the engine noise because its grounded or would it just simply amplify it. Thanks guys.

So currently I have a Pioneer 7800MP and like the availability to tweek my crossover settings. My new interest is to have a HU capable of playing DVD's but still able to have a nice crossover. My budget is only as high as $600, maybe more if it does everything I want. Similar crossover capabilities to my current deck is what I really want. I don't think I will be going active anytime in the future so that isn't an issue. The deck in the topic is what I'm currently looking at and was curious if anyone has had any experience with it. Thanks in advance!

hey guys, i joined like 5 years ago and used to troll back when fxn and some of the other explorer sites were still around. Since, then I have gotten a different truck, 2006 GMC Canyon, and now comes the system addiction. In my explorer I was running a Phoenix Gold Tantrum 1200.1 amp to 2 Adire Audio Shiva mark !V's. However after about 2 months the amp fried somehow and I swapped to a RF amp and it is still running strong even though I know longer have it. The point of this post is that I want to put a system in the new truck, with either a few 8's or some shallow 10's and I would love to be able to use this PG amp since I know i can get it fixed. However, is it too…

Two AudioPipe AP 30001Ds.

i just did the big 3 on my car and the question is the power coming from the alternator to the battery do i need to put a fuse there or not? i left the stock wire intact from the alt to the bat because if i cut it i wouldn't be able to see if my alt is failing or not since it wouldn't be going through the fuse box!! now if i put a big fuse between the wire and still have the other stock fuse in the fuse box there will it mess up anything? or should i just leave it like it is?

anyone have any luck switching to a smaller alternator pulley? Were there any noticeable gains in output?
