Is it a good amp? Pros? Cons?

So I decided on this unit awhile back, forgoing built in nav for a generally better unit for the money. Really like the interface and the Bluetooth is much more reliable and has much better audio quality than the Kenwood it replaced. I'm having a problem with the unit though. I live in the desert and it's hot like hell here from time to time. On hot days when the truck has been sitting in the sun, the radio will activate the mute until the truck cools down enough from the AC and then it works fine. It's annoying but I can live with that. The problem is yesterday I was driving in the mountains were it most certainly was NOT hot, OAT was between 55 and 42 F with the in…

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'm going to hook up the rubicon 702 to an FI SSD12 with copper coils in a sealed enclosure 1.6 cubic feet. This amp has 700RMS watts. Now what should I set the low pass crossover frequency to? Should I set the subsonic filter? If so to what frequency and should I also set the boost?

Guys where can i find a good alternators for my 2001 dodge neon, something good at a reasonable price...some numbers would be nice too

sooo yeah, basically i'm just looking for some tips to stop my head unit from skipping due to vibration. as it stands now my deck (Pioneer DEH-3800MP), most of the time gives me no problems when the volume is at 35/64, but when i go higher to 40, and sometimes even 38, the bass makes it vibrate and skip. i'm just wondering if there are any tips or better ways to secure my deck to limit this problem. i'm planning soon to double my subwoofer power (getting 2 IA LI's), so i'm hoping to get this solved before that. i've read somewhere that skipping can be a voltage issue and one way to solve it is to go around the wiring harness and wire the deck directly to the battery, …

So acouple weeks ago I had a viper r350 installed in my truck and I took the liberty of ordering two Directed 515r backup battery sirens... I tested them now with the included keys and they're pretty loud. My ears were pulsating. Well I'm reading the instructions on them now and could use some help...There are 4 wires on the unit itself: red - +12v, fused at 5amps, constant source black - ground violet - "(+) Siren Input: Connect this wire to the (+) siren output of the security system. If using a DEI security system, this would be the brown (+) siren output wire." green - "(-) Siren Input: If using a security system with a (-) siren output, connect this wire to the sys…

I have a couple of good quality amps that I would like to get repaired. Does anyone here know of a reputable place that I can send them off and get them repaired? Thanks for the help all.

Man ole Man... i love my new Memphis Mojo Amp... Its so prudy. Heres a pic of it, im gonna be running it at .5ohms so about 3kw. Here it Is.

Hey guys, I've got a Pioneer DEH 4100 (as the title implies) and it's suffering from a few annoying malfunctions. 1) Sometimes it will independently skip forward through a song, but does not beep to indicate this and it seems to be a pretty random occurrence. Even if it did beep, it still pisses you off. Some of my songs suffer from different volumes, so I go from, like, Ray Charles to a goddamn Children of Bodom song at a higher volume. My ears leave my body for a time. 2) I leave my iPod plugged in via USB, and what used to happen when I'd start the car was that the head unit would automatically start the iPod up. Now, it is about 30% of the time that it starts up a…

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I drive a 2005 colorado with a HO 200amp alternator with a deka intimidator group 34 under the hood and 2 group 31's in the bed. The big 3 is done in 0 gauge, Two runs of 0 gauge to the rear batteries. I measured the voltage at the amp. At 1/2 tilt I was at 13.4 at idle, as soon as I turn it down it jumps back to 14.4. As soon as I crank it to full tilt it drop to 11.6 at idle. My amp is saz3000d at 1ohm. I think I covered everything. Do I have a problem somewhere or do I just need more. I didn't want to piss the neighbors off too much because so I will have to measure the voltage again at 2000 rpm to see how much differenc…

"A second battery is never a good idea as it's an added strain on the alternator to charge two batteries AND supply power for the car. The ONLY time a second battery is useful is if the audio system is to be used with the car off."

hey guyz.. having a little problem with my 4200 avh pioneer. I pulled it out doing some little maitnence and then when i put the wire plug to the back of the deck and started it it wouldnt turn on. I drive a 06 escalade and i have to use a wire harness with a interface on it. so what i did was make sure nothing grounded and re connected the power ground and constant yellow and still nothing. then when i unplugged the interface and plugged back in it turned on for about 5 seconds and then shut off again. Could this be a bad interface? or what could it be? please help. thanks

Hey everyone i am new to car audio and am planning on doing a big setup. I was planning on getting a 250 amp alt with 2 yellow tops powering 2 audio q 2200 connected with 2 12 inch fi btls. My question is that do i need fuses? If so how big do the fuses have to be? How do i know? Where do i need a fuse the most? THANKS

Just bought a northstar nsb agm 34 Opinions? Any experience? What am I to expect of it? Electrical: runs of 0 gauge 220 amp alt Big 3 Duralast gold under hood Kinetik hc600 as 2nd battery Pushing roughly 2400 watts rms The kinetik is being replaced by the Northstar. I typically drop down to around 10.5v with car driving and sub playing. Just curious if this should solve my problem and if anyone has experience with these batteries.

I have this amp and it says 600 watts @ 4 ohms.I know it has more power than this I just dont know how much. If anyone knows the specs on this amp it would be helpful. What ohms is it stable to? What should I fuse this amp at since it has no fuse on it? Does it have an unregulated power supply? Class ? It is an oldschool amp but I would like to run it, just need some info. It was made by ZED audio . I have searched the internet but found limited info. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you think a hifoncs bxi2006 2000 watt amp can power a FI Bl?
