Does anyone know if there is a place to get a dual Alt bracket for a 2004 f150 5.4L. I tried iraggi and he doesn't make them

Ok, heres the deal. I have my Orion 4004 underneath my 2500D and it gets hot. How hot? Very hot. Hot enough to burn your hand. Hot enough to send it into protection after listening to it for 30 minutes. The components are bridged on it at 4 ohms. Many people have told me that it shouldn't be getting this hot. I think tomorrow I'm going to rewire it to only use 2 channels which will suck as far as power goes. I may also try to throw my planet audio vx3002 on it and see if it does the same thing. I have heard some things about orions not liking high input voltage but the gains are set about halfway. One other thing I am having problems with is at higher volumes (30/40) my …

So here's the question, i just got my saz-1500d in the mail yesterday, and there is a bass knob.. i only really see noobs with one. so are they worth it, i always just tossed them. if i was to turn it up all the way would it start clipping my amp or will it only raise my gain to where it is at on my amp? i have no problem turning down the sub on my headunit.

What should i have my x over and subsonic set on? i have my bass all the way up and my gain around 1/2. Should i change that? i have a 15 inch fi bl

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=265-081 Could that amplifier reliably produce at least 30w rms per channel run as a sub amp? rated for a 4ohm minimum, but with plenty of reserve i'll be running it at 2ohms.

I am planning on buying the hifonics brutus brz1700.1d for around 200 bucks. I will be only using it at 4 ohms for the time being untill i recone my subwoofer to single 2 ohm then ill run it at around 900rms. And if i ever end up going to a comp ill turn it up more. But what other amps should i be considering in that price range and power range? Btw i have stock alt in a 06 tundra and stock battery 4 awg wires... Will this be enough to power this amp? I can probably get 1/0 or 2 awg if i need to but as you can tell im not rolling in money.. Any comments, criticism, jokes... Its all welcome

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 just went out and purchased a multimeter so i could set the gains properly on my amp. i unhooked my subs, put on a 50hz test tone and turned my stereo up to 24/35. i put the multimeter plugs into the -/+ terminals to test voltage and all i got was 3 volts. I turned the amp up 3/4 of the way and it only gave me 9. any ideas as to what could be the problem?

Steering wheel controls that is. The Pac intfrared stuff or soundgate?

I have a JBL BP1200.1 and a JL 300/4 I recently disconnected/reconnected my battery and now both amps are refusing to power on. I checked with a multi meter that they ARE getting power but not even the lights are coming on. The JBL has 3 external fuses, all in tact, and the JL does not have any external fuses. What's the next step? Do I have to open these things up to inspect any internal fuses that may exist?

Hey guys I’m new to this forum but I will just get straight too it I have 2 svr12s from Skar and the rp1500 from Skar too it’s rated for 1500rms and 2300max I have my system wired at 1 ohm as it recommends and have done the the big three and have a 200amp high output alternator and a dual battery setup with 0awg going from the front battery to the back battery and I’m still having a bad voltage drop when I play music wondering what else I could do to fix it, it will drop down to 12.4v and will slowly get lower if I’m playing a continuous bass type of song and it’s an older car 1989 cutlass Calais idk if that would anything to do with it any thank you

well need some rateing and opions on a PG ZX350 and a MEI DA7400 both are 4ch just looking for a low cost 4ch and both of these are $100 trying to get 120-150 RMS at 2 ohms. thanks mc

With a pretty significant build on the horizon now steering towards higher end equipment, i still am not ready to part with my factory head unit unless it becomes an absolute must. I prefer the OE look and like the fact that my navi and bluetooth are integrated in the setup now, although i know that with a little tweaking i could likely make them work with something different, if needs be. On the G35 w/ the Bose system, all the processing is done at the actual factory amp. The leads running from the factory receiver are low level already and many people prefer the results with the RCA cables spliced/soldered into those leads over using an LOC. I myself initially had used…

Hey guys my little brother is looking to purchase an extra battery for his setup. Here is what he has: 1-SAZ1000 2-SA12's at 1ohm Big 3 Decent 35-40ah starting battery, it has a green top so an interstate I beleive. his car is a 96 ford escort soon he will be adding a 2 channel amp to drive a pair of speakers or maybe a 4 channel we will wiat and see. The amp will be driving normal coaxial speakers! the amp might be a 125.2 or 50.4~ I was looking into a battery for him on the SSA store and these two caught my eye's http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/XS-Power-D975-12V-AGM-Battery%2C-Max-Amps-2100A-%252d-2000W-.html and http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/st…

the alternator i have is a single wire and does not have a ground connection. it is mounted on 2 bolts that screw in to the engine block. is it alright that i grounded the engine block to chasis instead?

does any one know were i could get a good 2000 watt amp i got $700 to spend i need it for my 2 rlp 12" i wanna try to get 1000 watts to each speaker what will i need to do this

how much is it underrated bridged, and is this 2 ohm stable bridged?

I'm changing my T600-2 running 2 P3's to a T1000_4ad. Unfortunately I have to bridge them seperately and must use two different gain controls. I wish it had a master, slave control but there independant and want to know how to balance the gain between the two subs. I don't want one sub hitting harder than the other.

Hi im looking to buy two Fi 12" SSD's and want to hook them up to only one amp, is it possible to wire them at 1 OHM?

hey all, im in the process of trying to possibly put a xcon 12"/sundown 1500 setup in my car. its a 95 camaro. well my charging system is shot i need a battery and alternator ANYWAY. can someone steer me in the right direction as to what battery and alternator i would need to power the stereo and car. ive heard a lot of bad things about the optima batteries so are there any other options?

Lookin to pick up a new 4 channel to run mid and tweet in an active 3way. Anybody heard these ssa A/B demon amps? There is no info anywhere on them! They look awesome, fit the bill power wise and cheap as hell! Are they worth trying?

when i hook up my sub to the terminal i take the 2 wires from the black and twist them together and put them in the black terminal right? then the same for red?

I have been looking from time to time to see if I stumble across one, but I wanted to put the word out again and ask if someone might know of one or has seen one, I hate haveing a processor and not use it, could maybe back the gains back down again, any help would be great
