I am looking to sell my 2- bc2000-d amps. I am looking to get a single amplifier and was looking to get a Sundown SAZ3500 or SAZ4500. I have had someone offer me a trade for a dd T1 amp. I know currently have no information on this amp but will be researching. Looking for opinions of these. I have not been able to hear one either. It will be for my two Zcon 12's.

Recently my Orion Amp I had, pushin a Soundqubed HDS3.1-15" rated 1200RMS, crapped out! I'm lookin for replacement that's affordable & CAPABLE of rated 1200RMS needed to really experience my Soundqubed. I paid $125 for my Orion 2500.1D & it was rated 1200RMS @1ohm but I doubt it ever made that. I thought 1200RMS for $125 seemed too good to be true. I know I'm not goin back that route, so I'm curious of opinions on Amps under the $200 mark that I can afford & hopefully won't crap out after 9mons like my Orion & hopefully produce 1200RMS. I have a few options/manufacturers that I'm looking at that I'll list, plz give any opinions you have bout these …

crossfire cx23L us amps us-x3 kenwood kec-600 the kec-600 is alot more intriquite and complex than the others, US AMPS and crossfire are 6 channel output, the kenwood has 12channel out all have line drivers, kenwood = 24 db/octave, crossfire is 12 db/octave and i think the usamps is 12 db/octave just needing some opinions...im gonna try to sell the usamps and crossfire and keep the kenwood - made in 94 old school goodness... the us amps is old too tho ALL INMINT SHAPE crossfire is new tho

I need a 5/6 channel amp for one of my cars. I need about 75-150 or so watts per channel on channels 1-4, and a 5th (or 5th and 6th bridged) channel to run a sub with 500-1000 watts. I was looking at the following: US Amps AX-5600 US Amps USA-5600x (getting hard to find) Hifonics Zeus ZXi60.4 + 1k Memphis Belle 16-MCH1300 The only problem with the latter two is that they are most likely made in China... which is a huge turn off for me given my recent experience with chinese made amps. Anyone have any other suggestions? Sub is unimportant at the moment, as it will be picked after the amp is. I'm trying to stay under $500, if possible, but that is not a hard cap. I alos wan…

i have been looking between two hifonics amps a bxi 2608/2610 Hifonics BXi 2610D 2600W RMS, Brutus BXi Series Class D Monoblock Amplifier (BXi2610D) and a hifonics xx colossus 2 HIFONICS XX-COLOSSUS-II MONOBLOCK/2-CHAN AMPLIFIER AMP: eBay Motors (item 290460649039 end time Sep-02-10 13:47:47 PDT) (only link with all stats i will prob buy new)

i have a 2003 LincolTC, my system is a Soundqubed HDS315-D2 1200RMS powered by an Orion cobalt 2500.1D 1ohm stable amp, which is what i have it wired to. Ive only got 4ga 100% OFC, not that cheap oxidizing CCA junk, ran as power & ground which Im sure you'll all say thats too low ga. of wire which i already know & agree on that fact, just my financial circumstances are unable to afford me the luxuries of a larger ga considering I already owned the 4ga wire i used lol & considering the 15'+ of 0/1 or 0/2 ga OFC i would need for the length of my boat of a car i am just going to stick it out w/ what i got for now cuz i wont run that cheap cca crap. so an…

i'm looking to upgrade my dual flip screen for a normal good quantity HU. i can buy a pioneer deh-p6200bt used from a friend from the specs it looks good on paper, i have never owned a pioneer HU any thoughts or opinions before i buy it. thanks.

Hey all, I was just wondering how nice this amp compares against something like a TRU amp? I can get this for probably around the same price as a t-4.65. Also, if anyone can throw out some other high end 4 channel amps that would be greatly appreciated. thanks :ph34r:

Hey guys, right know i currently have a jl w6v2, its being run by an ancient rf amp thats putting out around 500 watts or so. First question... Would i be safe to run this amp at 2 ohms for the w6. Second Question... Honest opinion on the amp and overall quality...

AVH-P5200BT I can buy one today brand new for 450.00 I like it because of the 4v Pre Out, the 8 band EQ and watching music videos would be cool. I think it'd be a nice upgrade from my Alpine IDA-x305s that got stolen. Thoughts?

Hi all, So I am finally starting to piece together my audio install. I want to go with a dvd monitor for nav and visual purposes, and have narrowed it down to the following two. I tried looking for some reviews online, but very few single din reviews to be found and a double din will not fit my application. Anyways the two I am comparing are the Kenwood KVT-696 and Alpine IVA-D106. Both are pretty similar in price and feature wise seem to be on par to one another as well. I have always been an Alpine guy in the past, but Kenwood appealed to me as well. I already have the Imprint proccessor, and Sirius box for Alpine from my current setup. Biggest differences are the Kenwo…

http://mobile.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=...=133&page=2 i think it would be cool to have this in my car, and on top of that i like the GIGA mp3 multi ill proly run a line driver with it.

any of you guys have any experiance,opinions on this amp. http://www.woofersetc.com/p7750/DTR11700D-...s-Amplifier.htm ive been a fan of Soundstream amps(ive had the PIC 1.1700d and loved it)and really like the way these look.plus i found it on ebay for less than 300 shipped. i plan on running it on a single Fi SSD 18. so feel free to post up you opinions/thoughts.

I am looking to get a new head unit. I wanted to ask the experts first. Is this one any good? 4 volt preamps. 6 channel preamp outputs. etc. http://outlet.crutchfield.com/p_613KDCX494/Kenwood-Excelon-KDC-X494.html?ssi=0&tp=13566&tab=features_and_specs

Hey guys, I have narrowed it down to two choices. I was originally going to just buy any random HU until next spring when I start my serious build. But with news of x3 for holiday pay which is the entire last week of December working 12 hour shifts, that build may begin sooner. So this HU will be the HU in my vehicle for the next 5 years or so, I'm planning long term here. So the two choices are: A) Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD B) Pioneer deh p960mp I have been looking in this segment for quite some time, not too too in depth, but just looking around. I can get the DEH for 200, or I can get the AVH for about 320. Here are some key features that both offer that is really attracti…

i was reading the .5 wiring thread a while ago and somethin hit me that i'm curious about. The opti2000d by lanzar is the only amp they have that is 0.5ohm stable The Saz-1500d\3000d "used to" have 0.5 ohm warranty coverage until... well anyways. The opti2000d is 0.5 stable all day every day. Is this the case with SAZ amps as well or are they just lenient on below 1 ohm stability? The opti is the only class d amp i know of that is guaranteed to be stable at 0.5 ohms, so curious about this.

I was just wondering if this is possible, or even worth it? I have never seen any manufacture attempt this, but I believe that it would improve the quality of the sound as well as be cost effective in the aspect of less material/weight/mass that three sets of RCAs use. I'm not sure if anybody will be able to answer this question, but I was just wondering what is the reason for manufactures pursuing this route. Any opinions are welcomed.

So I have two zv4 18s d2s...original plans was to strap afew 2ks on them at 2 ohms but ran across and almost forgot about the 4601ds which are 0.5 stable...I know the opti7001ds do rated i had a popcorn 6k "Same amp". But Im not sure about the smaller versions..gimme some input guys..already have enough electrical to run over 5k daily

so i own a duralast battery and and i want wondering if i could hook a optima gold top to it and have it work fine.. i asked in another post but it was not about this, i just got caught off guard with the original question

Ive already got a yellow top and a kinetik 2400. wondering what kinetik would compare to either a yellow top or red top

Hey quick question guys/gals I have an optima yellow top i just recently bought.... 34/78 I know others have mentioned hooking there bat straight to the cars battery (parallel if you will) without any problems, YET on the optima website it states: 9. Can I hook an OPTIMA up in parallel with my other battery? No, when hooking batteries together in parallel they should be of identical make, model, and of similar age. So can anyone confirm that there is no harm in hooking my optima in parallel with my car stock battery? tried to search this but found no info

I am running an saz 1500d and 100.4 and I have a stock 145 amp alt. I already have a red top optima battery in the oem spot but I need another battery for the back can I use another red top or should I get the yellowtop? will a red in the front and yellow in the back be ok because they are different? Noobie question

my friend has a option blue top would that work for a main starter batt

Found out today that Pep Boys has 25% off online orders plus Optima has a $20 mail in rebate right now. That puts these in the $140 price range. I already have a Diehard Platinum Group 31M for the rear. Just wondering which of these 2 are best for my usage. There are mixed reviews on Google search regarding this in an audio application. I really don't plan on playing a lot with the car off, which makes it seem the Red Top would be best. Am I correct?

going to have a set up between 1.5 and 2k wrms. stock alternator will be doing big 3 curently have a napa battery (5100R) 1998 Honda CRV wondering if i should go ahead and order a new battery with my sub and amp or just wait till its in? and what is going to be a better battery for under the hood, optima yellow top or the xs? or should i just keep the stock battery and run the yellow top in the trunk?
