I have a 2008 Silverado Single Cab and am getting a Single 10" SSA Icon and would like to buy a Planet Audio RXD1400 to push it at 2 Ohms. It will be giving it 1000Watts at 2 Ohms. Will stock electrical be sufficient? I also have 4 Gauge wiring which isn't to long due to truck being a single cab. What gauge wire should I use for speaker inputs?

My crossover have a problem so im selling it and don't know if i should buy a new crossover or signal processor or buy a pioneer player with 2/3 pre out?

ok so i am currently running an eclipse cd1000 head unit. it says in the owners manual and on the face that it plays mp3 cds. i'm using roxio 2011 to burn with. ok so i burnt a couple mp3 cd's and the head unit tries to read it but ends up ejecting it, and then after getting next to nothing searching google i read sumthin saying burn it as a data disk so i did that and it still does the same thing. i've never had any experience with an eclipse deck until this one, so if anyone can help me with this that would be great. so please help me out

I bought a Pioneer P4100DVD and I can play movies just fine and everything but I wanna take it to the next step and start burning DVDs with music videos.

I plan on running this wire http://www.wireandsupply.com/product_p/sgx-2-fslash-0-fslash-01.htm , which size of these http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine%20Electrical%20Supply/Tinned%20Copper%20Cable%20Lugs/00%20AWG%20Tinned%20Lug/?sck=12205831 connectors should I buy to run with the wire? Also will a 0 gauge distribution block work with that 2/0 gauge wire, I have not been able to find a bigger block? I will be running 250amp fuses throughout the setup. One from alt to battery, one 12" from battery to distribution block? I only want the cap to be used on the sub amp and both outputs on the block are 250amp fused, do I need to run anymore fuses in the setup?

I have a 1998 Mitsubishi eclipse rs. Yesterday I tried taking out the stock head unit and putting in my Sony after market. I realized I messed up the the stock wiring harness. The wires no longer are plugged into the harness plug, just out hanging. I tried starting the car and the engine doesn't turn over all I get it a weird clicking sound coming from the dash. Battery is fully charged, lights work, heat/ac work. What could be wrong??

Well today i installed everything the concept amp and the SX 15. well about an hour ago. i turned on the car and no sound then changed cd. and nottin then i hear a BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM and look on the side of the amp and it shows cliping. and its going hard to where my lights dim crazy. the sub is a 2ohm sub i wired down to 1ohm for 1200 watts. what could be the problem the RCA's worked this mornign when i had my 500 watt amp.

And does the same thing each time. i grounded it to the seatpost bolt ( which i found out briefly agok, IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE FRAME) i Wired the subs down to 1 ohm each, equalling a 2 ohm load, but the weird thing is, is that the12volt.com said to wire it one way (for 2 ohm load) and kicker said to wire another way?????? so i went with this way- as oppossed to …

My son bought this amp and we know nothing about it. It is metallic purple and says US AMPS made in Florida on the top and the end says High Definition Reference Amplifier.

Can anyone tell me anything about this amp? http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=19074905 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=19075139

So after asking many questions and buying everything that I need according to people on this forum I have an issue. I have 1 15"bl in my truck with a fosgate 1000bd. Everyone on here has told me I need another cell 0 guage wire, and to do the big 3. Every stereo shop that I went to here says that 0 guage is over doing it. They also say I will be fine with 1 yellowtop and that running 0 guage from the battery is pointless cause the current wire on it is way better than 0 guage is. They say 4 guage is plenty and all I need to do is run the 0 guage from the battery to the amp. Nothing else. They actually said that my 4 guage is fine. So what do I do??? Is it really …

I'll be getting my 260A alternatir for my 06 civic tomorrow. So I decided to take a look at all that needs to be done and I noticed the alternator charge wire runs into a fuse box, and know I'm unsure how I should run the 0 ga. for the charging wire.
