Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

Hey all.Im going to be buying a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant and im needing to get a HO alt.Ive been searching the internet for over an hour now and all I found was a 180amp alt,but im wanting a bit more output than that.So I was wondering if someone could tell me where I could get a 200+ amp HO alt for the car.The engine is a 2.4L 4 cylinder.Thanks

It seems like Alpine is the brand of choice for head units. I has some major issues with an Alpine head unit in the past. The unit would work a few weeks then would start acting up where the display would be blank but the unit would power on or if the display was visible it look to be a cross between russian and korean text. Alpine replaced the unit under warranty 4 times. When the unit failed the 5th time it was finally out of warranty and got replaced. So my views on Alpine are tainted and I swore I would never own another of their products. So I bought a new 08 Mazda Mx-5 Miata a little less than a month ago and the stock system has got to go. Since space is a majo…

I currently have a Hifonics BRE1700.1d, I have done the Big 3 to my car which is a 2010 Malibu. My voltage drops crazy fast from 14.6 to 11.6 when certain songs are playing. What I was wondering is if an XS power D1200 would be sufficient enough to use as my battery under the hood? Or should I got for the XS power D2400? I don't want to get a H/O alternator or a second battery for the trunk. Thank you

I was wondering if my 2000 Neon will hold 1000W rms without a alternator upgrade or a battery upgrade, the battery does around 650CCA while hot and around 550CCA when its cold. And iam not really sure what the alternator can pu out, i have been looking all over the inernet and i havent been able to find out, people tell me that i should be fine with a cap or nothing, and some tell me to get a 1 farad cap. What should i do?

has anyone had a remote that went on and off, i checked the voltage from the wire that comes directly out of the deck and it goes on and off intermittently. the deck is very old and seen a lot of abuse, my question is can i splice my remote wire with another to achieve the same effect or am i stuck buying a new headunit, i guess i could run a wire from some 12v source and throw a switch in between but that's a hassle.

hey whats up i need help choosing an amp(s) for my setup, my electrical upgrades are big 3 1/0 gauge, 2 runs 1/0 gauge 1 pos 1 neg, 200 amp alt, optima yellow top front,die hard platinum p1 in back, k i have 4 dual 4 ohm subs kicker 15 15's, i need an amp decision i either want a saz-2000, i would have to run it at .5 ohms will my electrical handle that, and hit hard, or should i go with 2 saz-1000 and both amps would be wired down to 1 ohm, which setup would b louder and which would work the best

Looking for budget amplifier to power a 12" SSA DCON subwoofer SVC or DVC 4-ohm (1.2 cu ft sealed to spec). I would like a class d amplifier rated at about ~300w rms clean (give or take, this is a low power budget system). Any ideas?

I have a punch 2002, what speakers would work best for that amp. Prefer 12's. I already had a pair of wimpy C4's that crapped out in 2 months, and want something different, but affordable.

I need a little help on this one i was going to buy the Knu Kolossus Fleks 0 Gauge wire for my Crescendo 3kwp but they just came out with a mix breed wire the Kca and it is half the price witch to me is great cause im in hight school working part time dish washing lol but would there be a audible difference ? thank you.

I have 2-12w6v2d4's and i just bought a saz-1500d. My question is will this amp blow my subs and also is there anyone on this board who has ran this setup? I'm thinking if i keep the bass on the amp down it will be ok am i wrong? Thanks in advanced for the help.

Who wanted to donate a "few" pennies to me to buy that new hi fonix amp :ph34r:

So I’m in the process of upgrading my cars electrical system, I’ve just done the big 3 and would now like to move on to the alternator. One problem thou, i know nothing about them or what kind i would need. Any info on them would be greatly appreciated. I have two amplifiers one a Kicker ZX350.4 and the other a Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D all together they = about 300 amps, idk if this info will help but here it is lol

hey guys my amp was workin then it went on protect. now all it does is led goes on then protect keeps blinking when ever i turn my stereo on i have it hooked up to a 18 solo x thanks if you can help.

I want to upgrade my head-unit I currently have Jensen vm9312 (got a good deal on it from friend) but I want something better I want a head-unit that puts out good sound quality and offers adjustments. Don't want to spend a fortune but if it's necessary to spend a couple hundred I can save up I was thinking about the pioneer p8000bt any opinions or suggestions on a good headunit?

I got a saz-2000d pushing a dd9515g at 1ohm. I was wondering if a kinetik 1400 upfront and a kinetik 2000 in the rear would be enough to help run the system. Big 3 has been done with 1/0, I have 1 run 1/0 front to back, grounds done with 1/0 and a stock alt 90amps. Any recommendations will be taken in consideration.

i just wanna know if anyone thinks this is good for about 2000w on stock alt puttin 13.9-14v idle and 14v+ engine rev. with 1000cca starter bat and kinetik 2000 in back all 0ga big three and such. i am not a competitor, not lookin to get the full 4k out of the amp, before everyone starts saying how you have to run it at 18v to see 4k. just wanna know if this is good enough to get 2000w for 2 12" fissd's. i have done searches also before i get flamed for this, but the few that wasn't bashing this amp were old ones for sale or people trying to get the full 4k from it, or modding it for 1 ohm use. dont need all that just 2k is fine for me, thanks.

Pulled the power from my previous car to re-use in my new car. Noticed a little bit of discoloration from where it was ran through the fender. Does this look ok to use? Untitled by riored4v, on Flickr

Was wondering what are some companies that make the dual alternator brackets. I'm looking to pick one up for my '96 Tahoe.

O.K. I own a JL 300/4 and the amp has been cutting in and out. Sometimes the power light stays on but the music sounds as if it's muted. Other times the amp shuts down completly. The local shop that installed the amp ran 8 guage power and ground wires off my second battery in the rear (kinetic 800). Is the amp not getting enough current or is it dying? Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm thinking of saying screw the JL amps and going with Sundown! BTW the rest of my equipment is in my sig.

Ok so i just bought the 3000 and it requires at least a 300 amp fuse. my question is where do i put it, do i put it right before the amp like i did with the battery fuse is not supposed to be no further than like 12 inches. i dont want to sound stupid but all the amps ive ever owned like a RF T10001 and hifonics and us merlin amps have always had built in fuses.

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

I recently bought a hifionics brutus amp and the blue hifionics loogo works, but the power led does not come on. The manual said if this happens theirs not enough power going through the remote wire and said to use a jumper wire and connect it to the 12V+? Im not exactly sure what to do, and i def dont wanna take my chances and screw it up. Can someone tell me what to do?

I'm looking for an amp that will push (2) DD3512E's to either close to the max, or max them out. Any suggestions that will give me that amount of power at 1ohm? I'm running two D4's jumped down to a 1 ohm load. System is stock right now, I plan on getting the big 3 done...and another battery. I cant upgrade the alt by much, only up to 120 amps

For the sake of knowing, can I run four mids and two tweets off of a four channel amp, or is that just a retarded question to ask? Flaming appreciated. If you had a four channel and could not do that, would you replace the four door speakers, or would you replace the front door speakers and add some tweeters to your dash?

Hey, I'm planning to relocate my battery to my trunk. Is this power wire from kk suitable to run from the leads in the engine bay to the battery in the trunk? http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLMX0PRL Thanks!
