ok i bought a lanzer 2400 watt max pro amp to power 2 rl-i8 form soundsplinter. I know that amp is not the best but for 140 shipped wasn't bad so what ya

Atomic AT 1600.1D vs Sundown SAZ 1500D. In terms of quality, components used, heatsink which amp is better? I know they are both Zenon boards so the circuity looks identical but overall which has a heavier heatsink and is better? Thanks

Welp, I ordered a crescendo bc2000 last night!!!!! Should be at my front door by Monday!! Anybody have one of these? What do they perform like?

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.

Alpine, Eclipse, Clarion, or Panasonic... ...in the $150-$250 range.

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

I drive a 08 mazda 6i sedan, non bose. I have a LOC with 2 pairs of rcas (front/rear). Right now I have a 2-channel amp for the front 2 speakers on the front rcas, and a monoblock for my sub on the back. Well I purchased a 4 channel amp, and 2 bass shakers (one for under eachseat up front). What I was planning on doing, is switching my 2 channel amp for the 4 channel, so all 4 speakers would be on the 4 channel amp, and the 2 channel with the bass shakers. The monoblock will be untouched, if it doesnt need to be. Do I need to just use rca splitters, or could I just run the 4 channel off the front RCA, and use the rca output of the monoblock to feed the 2 channel? Im afr…

I'm almost embarrassed to be asking this but I want to do my own instal for the first time since 1995 and I know there are some major pros on this site, here goes... I'm keeping the factory radio, no NAV, no amplifier on my 2013 JEEP Wrangler with the stock 6 speaker system. I plan on using my Audio Control LC2i as a line driver and purchasing a PPI 900.4 and mounting under the dash. I bought a Bravox component system from this forum for the front and have replaced the sound bar coaxles with a pair of Alpine type S's I picked up for $25. I'm using deck power for the sound bar, I hated the idea of rear speakers at first but a Jeep is a rolling compromise, and will us…

Well, I'm pretty set on buying a new clarion HU. It doesn't have the most flexible crossover built-in so I will need an electronic crossover to go with it. The main feature I need is having the ability to do a 3-way(high,mid,(possible future midbass), sub) setup with the mids lowpassed at 2+ khz frequency. My midbass amp(Eclipse XA2000) only goes up to 500hz so I need to find something. I'm willing to go up to $500 but hopefully I can save a few bucks. Right now, I'm lookin at the digital units but they are pricy. Any other cheaper solutions to this? I'm looking at audiocontrol but having a hard time finding online dealers(not many local and pricy) and Memphis but can't …

I have been looking and looking for a decent amp since I got rid of my zx750.1 and the best deal I have seen so far is the refurb SAE-1200Dv2 for $240 on db-r.com I have heard good things about db-r but it says 7-10 business days until shipping I am curious why? I am also wondering why the amp runs 5 fuses? Last question... How much can I expect this amp to push at 14.4v?

Whats to be said for American Bass amplifiers? Hows the quality? any known problems? certain ones to watch out for? Ive seen them used on numerous youtube video's but that really tells me nothing. Reason for this thread is there is a local craigslister who has the VFL 150.1 i believe it is and states its capable of 2900rms @ 1 ohm. Price is something I could easily swing. Ive had my eye on a refurb saz-3500d from db-r lately but for the price of this one it may just be a better route. Just for reference saz 3500 at db-r is about $780 and the VFL 150.1 is $250. Guy says he will demo the amp before the sale to ensure it works. Seems like a deal but again.. these amps are so…

I have 2 12" eclipse 7200s and Im looking for a replacement amp for my RF Power 800a2 Id like to throw a 1000w+ to it and have the ability to turn up the bass gain like I can with the RF Suggestions?

Anyone have any inside info or guesses as to when car audio manufacturers will be using Toslink cables for connections. Stepping up from a decent RCA cable to a fiberoptic cable made a noticible differnce in my HT set up.

I'm looking at the Eclipse CD7200 mkII and was wondering if anyone had heard one or spent any time using one. Thanks.

Ok, I finally got around to building my box for my 12" BTL and I got it all installed and when I went to set the gain on my Orion 2500d. I was only reading around 5.0 volts on my Multimeter I had it set to 200 AC. I was supposed to set it to 50 but, I'm getting no where near that, with the gain set full it only goes up to around 33 volts. Any Ideas as to what it could be, I opened up the bottom didn't see anything burned or fired, so I have no idea.

4 years ago or so I got a SWEET deal on 6 Optima Red Tops. I can't find the guy and I don't remember what company he's from. Ring any bells for anyone? Anyway most people don't run Optima, why not? I'm assuming because more hours of sotrage can be had for less? I like the idea of dry/gel cells so that I can mount them any way I want inside the vehicle and no hydrogen gas released from charging. Anyone know if this guy is still around? What other options should I consider? Thanks! Krypto

Is it ok to mount the amps on the sub enclosure?

Guess what new toy is replacing my Eclipse 8443...................................................... an Eclipse 8454!!! And it only cost me 214$ after tax!!!!! Its was such a steal. From the dealer and everything! I took advantage of a chain getting rid of Eclipse and asked if they had any more HU's available. He was like yeah I got a 8454 that is open box used in a window display(not an actual one where people touched it) and was like i can sell it for 200$. I was like, here's my card!

Hey all, So the other day i was listening to my music when all of a sudden, my FI Q starts starts going in on itself. It was playing a completely separate beat from the music and instead of flexing out, it was flexing in. I turned down the music but that did nothing, i turned down the remote gain but that did nothing so i ripped out the speaker cable from the amp to stop any further damage to the sub. The amp is a MTX JH1200. I'm only running 4 ga to it and I have the big three upgrade. I checked the fuse on the 0 ga running to the batt and it was blown so i will be replacing that shortly. The wiring on the sub is all right. so its the amp thats broken. The amp makes a c…

hey i don't understand why visions in my town when running the speaker wire to the sub used 16 gauge and twirled it around it self so when i unwound it there was probably 7-9 ft just going to the box does twisting the wire do anything or are they just trying to charge for more wire ? I'm redoing it with 12 gauge it's only for a 600rms alpine amp so 12 gauge i figure is plenty

i dont get it. i was doin an install on my friends car and the speakers werent working. I decided to take my eD9.2 out of the car and and switch the pg out to see if i hooked everything up correctly. Everything was fine. Now here is the problem. Once i put everything back in to my car and hooked everything up, i found out that both my amps wouldnt turn on. i checked the fuses, all fine, all the connections, fine also. the HU works.... but it seems that my amps wont turn on. What the heck happened?

So I just had a Viper r350 put into my vehicle...I want to add additional sirens. I've seen some 120db ones online for as little as $6... Anyone know if there's a limit to how many I can run off this alarm? I'm thinking 1 in each corner of the vehicle would be nice...

Could I use power wire to power my subs? I was thinking about using this stuff... http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL8BL
