Im finnally done with the Big 3, all the wires connected, test drove the car, and everything.... thanks for the help through it all!!!!!! But now what? Im doing a 15" FI Fully loaded BTL and a Hifonics Bxi2608D amp I wont have it hooked up untill the 25th, whats that next thing i should do? Its a 2000 Hyundai Sonata as far as i know, my options are Better main batt, add a second batt, or new alternator. Id rather not do any, but if i have to id rather only do 1. dont have much money to spend... :-( but untill then ill turn the gain down.. keep the volume down. Thanks

i have a couple of batts layin around my house, and i cant tell if they are good or not. THe one reads 9.4 volts, so i hooked it up to the charger, and 5 hours later it stil isnt charged. the other one read something like 4 volts and after 5 min. on the charger it says it is almost full. Are the batts no good, or not. (car bats)

I am looking to build my first system and I am a full believer in saving money but not at the expense of diminished quality. I want to get 2 15" BL's. This is in an every day driver, I want it loud but it doesn't have to be insane. I know that install is 90% of it so I am wondering how much of a difference am I really gonna see if I have Sundowns 1500 powering them or the 3000. Saying the encloser and every other factor is the same. I am thinking that since I am not looking to compete I would be spending way too much money buying the 3000 and all the extra electrical upgrades that are needed and not have that much of a noticeable difference. So if anyone who has experienc…

I have seen these for around 400-500 dollars. same board as the MA 4000 and cliff designs. Does anyone have experience with these do they do rated or close on a good electrical system? would be used for daily and some comps. thanks Chad

so i have looked EVERYWHERE and i cannot see to find a fill kit for a 1999 for taurus with digital climate controls, it is drving me crazy a buddy of mine need this last thing to finish his system and cannot see to find it anywhere PLEASE help me

I am thinking of getting a new head unit. I really like double din monitor head units. I have seen the pioneer avics and i really like them but i don't know if i want to spend upwards of 500 on a head unit. Does anyone know of any other quality brands for head units that would have something like what im looking for? It also needs to have 2 sets of rca outputs and 1-2 sets of rca inputs including video.

checking online i have picked 3 choices... 1. PPI D2000/1 + PPI A600/4 2. Soundstream Tarantula TRX2000.1 and TRX880.4 3. Boston Acoustics GT 28 + GT 42 Which combo would be best? setup would be a so called LOUD SOUND QUALITY type, a good set of fronts, might be 3 ways but with a good sounding loud sub from behind... Thanks for any inputs and experiences shared...

Sorry I ask so many question, lol I'm still learning ALLOT. I'm slowly piecing all of my equipment together and next on the list is a 4 channel amp. Want to keep it in the $100 range. Needs to power (2) 4" Coax, (2) 6 1/2" Coax. Looking for a clean 40-60 rms per channel.

I have decided to go with 2 FI Q-12 what advice would you give for the amp around $500 I had thoughts of a ZRS-8000D or a GP3000D-pro and ideals, Thanks

Ok i know the yellow top is for audio and stuff but some ppl tell me that the blue top is better...some one fill me in on this stuff

Will a 225amp excessive amperage alternator be enough to run 3 Kinetik 2400s? my electrical is currently stock but i will be getting a new alt and those 3 batteries pretty soon. everything will be in 1/0awg big 3 will be in 2/0awg i am about to get a Memphis 4KW and i know its a power hog. i wont power it up until i get the voltage to back it up. and eventually when i save up some more money im gonna be runnin 4 Bl 15s in a blowthrough. any help or advice will be much appreciated.

alright right im new here and im not the one to ask alot of questions or post alot of threads. so dnt worry about me postin dumb post. anyway now i have a fi btl 15 in a 4.5 box with a soundstorm amp in a mazda tribute. it hits but i know my sub can handle more power cus at times it clips and i think my sub is to powerful for my amp. i wanna know will this amp begood for this sub.....http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16293_PowerBass+ASA-2200.1D.html

Anyone ever tried this amp? It looks old to me but I kinda like it. Hour meter for use, voltage remote meter and remote bass knob (well thats not that cool because most amps have them but the voltage meter is pretty cool), pretty good power and stuff. I wonder if it puts out the rated power? http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=3070 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12363_...1200DA+R-B.html IDK, just looking around.

Just curious if the Atomic 5000.1 can do .5 ohms daily with the proper electrical and how much power it will put out at 13-14volts..

I currently have a Kenwood Excelon 891 hu and have been happy until now. I'm looking for another clean 24 bit dac, cd, mp3 player. This one is under warrenty getting fixed and thinking about another. I just want a clean sounding quality cd player that can play ipod and sirius. I want sound quality over anything. Any suggestions I'm at a loss on where to go what brand and such. Thinking about Alpine 9887, what do you guys think?

I'm looking to buy around 50 ft of 1/0 awg power and 25 ft of 1/0 awg ground wire. Whats every ones thoughts on knukonceptz? It was introduced to me by a local friend and I'd like to know what you guys think of it.....

I have a new kenwood head unit I'm trying to install. I bought the scosche wiring harness for my toyota tercel at walmart. I ran into a problem, none of the connections on the wiring harness fit into the back of my kenwood cd player. I'm a noob when it comes to this so help me out? Here are some pictures showing the backs of both head units and the factory wires and the scosche wiring harness. The wires that went into the back of the stock head unit The back of the stock one, see the place to insert the plug? My kenwood doesn't have that There is only one place that looks like a harness would go there, but none of them fit Here is the wiring harness IDK WHAT IM DOINGG…

anyone know a good place to put an amp in a 2004 chevy silverado. and if there is anyway to run the wires without removing the front seat. it is a ext. by the way.

looking for a few different options to power a 10" DCON. Right now i have a Kenwood 9104D running at 12.2 volts putting out 402watts RMS at 4 Ohms. Should i stick with this or go another direction?

I have a dual 1 ohm BL (.75dcr) with no options and need a amp for it. I will do the big 3 and have the stock 130a alternator and battery so it needs to be fairly efficienct. I may add a battery or two in the future but not immediately. Right now im looking at a sundown 1500 (run at .375 ohms), gp3000d (rated 1500@2), crossfire vr2000d (.5 ohm stable, 2000 watts), and zx1500.1 If i did the crossfire i could add another battery right away because of the price. I like the sundown just because its sexy and can tolerate low voltage, i like the gp3000d because it can do 3000@1 if i ever decide to upgrade (though i havent found out how efficient it is), the crossfire is just ch…

I know a guy that has one of these amps that I can get for about 100 bones. I am more than sure its worth it. I just wondered if anyone here ran it and how good of an amp they are?

hello Whats up with the 2007 Crunch (Ground Pounder) D class amps? Do they do rated power(if so) how many volts to get rated power? Thanks

is this amp any good? ive heard its pretty good.

im looking for a good amp for a fi btl 18, any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

I'm going to be running 2000 watts constant at 1 ohm to my btl and i was wondering what gauge wire i need to use? I'm guessing 1 gauge but i rather be safe than sorry.
