I was thinking about getting this head unit. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Tell me what you guys think.

i was on crutchfield.com and was lookin at a head unit. found one i liked, clicked on it, and at the bottom there was this message. Installation Details for your 2003 Taurus SE

So I was removing one of my RCA cables from my SAX-1200D and the input pulled out of the amp. It was still connected to the wire but it would not screw back in to the amp. While attempting to screw the input back in to the amp the solder joint broke off the input and now I am stuck without an input. Basically I'm wondering if it's okay to run the RCA's from the bridged input and output if the amp is not bridged. I have tried running it from the bridged inputs and it works fine, but I don't know if it's healthy for my equipment. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 86 150 with a 5.0 in it. It came stock with a 60 amp alternator. My neighbor gave me box full of stuff he took off of a 94 mustang 5.0 H.O. One of the parts happend to be a stock 130 amp alternator. Since i need to get a bigger alternator anyways and strapped for cash i figured i can use this alternator. Its a direct bolt in, but the plugs are different though. My stock one has 2 plugs instead of the one plug. But one of the plugs on my wiring harness is the same style plug on the new(er) one. So wat i did is that i plugged(sp) in the plug that looked the same and hooked up a 4 guage power wire directly to my battery. Installed it and cranked it over, i…

this is the amp im planning on running to my subs and was just wanting to hear yalls opinions on the amp as to how good it is or if it actually does rated power etc.

Panasonic CQVW100U Clarion MAX385VD Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD i wanted to know what you guys think, i always used clarion so i have 2 sirus box's, ant and all that so im looking into the max285.

Which one of these caps is the better buy or the better name-brand? Is it the LQ30CAP Lanzar 3.0-Farad cap or is it the ALMANI ALF2F 2-Farad Digital Power CAPACITOR. They are both around the same price?

I have a Arc Audio SE-2150se, and I have it in mono mode, running at 2 ohms to my fully loaded, D1 18'' fi btl. Everything works fine, but I wanted to turn it up this past weekend to show of to my friends, so when I turn up the amp, from 1/4, to 3/4, it sounded much louder. But when I turn it up, the protect mode light will flicker red, just for when the bass drop, now I know this can't be good. It goes back green, but when ever the bass drops, a big one, it will just flicker red for that one second. Can any body tell me why this is, and is it safe to play it that loud? Not daily, I'm not stupid, but whenever I want to show off for a song or two, can I or should I play it…

Ok here we i just bought the mach5 6.5 i bought a saz 3000 and a 18btl with an enclosure design by hexibase. Now my question is what would be a good amp to push the 6.5 i know the saz 100.4 but my budget is getting low so any other sugestion thanks.

i know alot of people on here run a 3400 in the front and a 3100 in the back. im in a honda so standard size is a 51r. i wanna get an xs for the front (for now anyways) and i like to think ahead. is there a big difference between the 51 and the 3400. id have to do some customizing to get the 3400 to fit but id rather not if i dont have too. if i run a 51 in the front and a 3400/3100 in the back eventualy is the back one gunna drain the front? im probably only gonna have 2-2.5k and might soon be upgrading to a 190A alt

I want to buy a cd400 r/b but it says i need the Eclipse ipc-106. Now when i do a seach one item is just a simple wire(ECLIPSE iPC-106 iPOD iPHONE INTERFACE ADAPTER GENUINE - eBay (item 290471501209 end time Jan-31-11 11:36:02 PST)) and one is a $150 item(ECLIPSE NEW IPC-106 IPOD ADAPTER INTERFACE IPC106 - eBay (item 370475059712 end time Feb-12-11 13:49:25 PST)). My question is can i use just the wire or do i need the entire thing? Any help would be gladly appreciated.

It has 4 gauge inputs... I know its not a huge deal but I wanted to use 0 gauge with it. I know stinger makes 4 gauge to 0 gauge adapters but the way the inputs are on the amp those adapters won't work. Would it be ok to just trim the 0 gauge down or should I just get a 4 gauge amp kit?

ok i really hate to ask this, but how are you able to tell when your amp starts to "clip"? And what exactly does it mean?

I have an alpine cda-9855 and i has the option to use a 7 band graphic or a 5 band parametric.. what is the difference between the graphic and parametric??

Wondering if anyone has used the 4/0 welding supply wire.... I have some interest in using wire this thick just so that I'll only need to run 1 run instead of a few 1/0 runs. I'd like to see some size comparison pictures or something. Also wondering how the 1/0 welding supply wire compares to the knu wire as far as size. I read some stuff on here about how copper is so much better than copper clad aluminum, and would like to change it up now. Thanks!

I drive a work van with a Sony CDX-Mp70 hu. There are no rear speakers installed in the van so i was wondering if i could bridge the rear channels with the front to get some more power up there... Any ideas?

ok so my alternator went out which in turn screwed up my battery. i got a good used alternator for $20 and its actually better then my last 2 and i dont want to kill it before i can afford batts. but my question is can anyone recommend places i might try for a cheap used battery? i just need something to get me by for a few weeks till i can get a big battery. i've been to pull a part 3 times this week and they havent had any. any help would be awesome thanx

Does anybody have any experience with the above HU, just want to know if it is any good in general. Mainly going to be using my ipod.

I am just completely stumped with this problem. I'll try not to make it long but I want to make sure I explain everything right. I have two amps in my car. A Rockford P500.2 and the SAX-1200D. Both have their own runs of power wire and grounds. The Rockford has 8 gauge going to it, as nothing bigger is necessary, and the 1200D has 4 gauge running to it. Yesterday I completely redid everything at my battery. I had to get new battery terminals, as mine were meant for a top post battery, and rewired the factory ground and such to the new terminals. That went smoothly, car starts without any problems now (had some bad issues). My battery tested good at autozone. I also …

Alright.. just recently bought and installed a set of the zapco i-6 component's. .. running them off a MBQuart 4125..Let me get to the problem im having.. my Volume knob can go up to 60 i believe... when i crank up the volume to say 47 my high's (the zapco components) sound as if someone put a pillow over them.. then as i turn the volume down to around 30ish it clears back up.. I at first thought maybe something internally came loose in the amp since its mounted to the box with my 18" BTL in it.. so I cut the subs out of the equation completely.. still does it at around the same volumes.. This was a problem i was having with my old 6.5" Eclipse door speakers i had before …
