Hey guys price quoting around today....will 200 amp HO alt be sufficient for 2 18" Btls running 2 3000d amps? tnks again everyone for the help...will post pics of everything I recieve Freddy

What do you use to islolate the front & rear battery??? ...should I use a battery isolator; or, will a high power relay work ok?

I have an Alpine headunit not sure of the model at the moment. I have all 4 ohm speakers hooked up rite now. If i were to hook up in exaple two 8 ohm speakers.. Would i mess up my headunit fom the diferent impeadences? Maybe a noobish question but i've never tried it. Thanks for the help.

What are the differences? Let me in on the true details. What do they share & what makes the unique to each other

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…

I have two d2 subs (d1.4). I have two IA 20.1's should I strap them at 2 ohms or run 1 sub pre amp at 1 ohm?

k. im pretty sure i didn't set it up 100% right but thats why i wanna check before i get my new subs. i got 2 amps. i got a 500 watt insignia 2 ch. bridgeable amp and a 1000 watt 2 ch. bridgeable koiiler amp. i think its a 4 gauge wire with fuse wired from my battery to my 1 farad cap. then grounded the cap and attached another power wire from the cap to the 500. then i added another power wire from the cap over to the 1000. i split the blue wire from the 500 from the deck to the 1000. then got sum rca's from the output on the 500 over to the input on the 1000. i kno its confusing but im trying to list it as best as possible. its hard to explain. but its alot cleaner se…

So i was taking out the radio on my bosses truck and this is what i find..... ] That's one for GM, Chevy, Ford, Nissan, and VW lol

I jus purchased the kenwood KDC-BT645U do you guys think that will be a nice deck for my audioque 2200 and btl 18 n2? And does the 2v pre output matter?

I have a friend (yeah, that's how it always starts) that says when he tunes his EQ on his head unit, he just leaves it flat across the spectrum. The only thing he ever adjusts is the crossovers on the amp(s). This is the first time I've heard of this. He says the head unit's crossover points are usually set in the wrong place so it won't get the most out of it something like that. I have a DEH-P600UB with the 7-band EQ, should I follow his advice or just tune it to what I think sounds good (no distortion, etc.)

I been looking around for head units and I haven't found the "perfect" one. I currently have an Alpine 9883 and I wouldn't really buy it again. I use my Ipod and I dont like the way to select music on the head unit. I was on the Sony Xplod site and this head unit looked pretty cool. MEX-BT5100. Has anyone had experience or worked with Sony head units? Or if anyone has a better choice let me know.

Whats the lowest load that anyone has ran a ols school transanna amp at I ran the 200x2 at 2ohm before with no problem i was wondering if anyone has ran one lower than that successfully before.

I have been checking on the site and I can't seem to find the DF for either the KX or the SX amplifers. anyone have any insight on this?

hi, a freind has given me his set of alpine type r componots but one has a blown midbass driver. now i am wondering is there anyway that i can find out what the highpass and lowpass is set at? they are the newer ones that have an 110 rms rating

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?

hey guys i have 2 12 L7's being powered by a Eclispe DA7232. All was fine up until a few weeks ago when i noticed that the amp occasionaly shuts off after a few mins of play. all the wires are fine and the other amp works fine.... i was thinking maybe it might be seeing low ohms but the amp is not even warm...any ideas?....thanks guys

I'm looking into getting a Pioneer In-Dash DVD. I want the AVH-P4100, but do you guys think it's worth the extra $100 or so than the AVH-p3100? Also, what about the p4100 vs. the p4000?

I know I need to fuse b/t front battery & 2 back batts. What size fuse should I have? Also, should I fuse anywhere else?

I bought 2 IDMAX 10" D4's CHEAP, was putting one in the wifes car and selling other but she wants to wait on her stereo. So I am putting both in my expedition. I have never had any ID subs and these are only ones I have heard. I listen to mostly Rock, metal, some country. I have read to do sealed mostly and some say ported. I was either going to run a sundown 1000 or alpine pdx 1000. Any suggestions on these? thanks

So I just bought my 10" BL and im not sure what amp to get? What do you guys suggest? Budget is around $200

my friend wants some subs for his dodge ram full cab, hes gettin a pro box for under his seat and 2 re se subs, he doesnt know many amp models and his price range is from 500-700 for everything and the box and subs would be about 350-400, anyone know a decent amp that would be 2 channel and put atleast 600 watts to each speaker and still meet his price range?

Anyone use either of these to intigrate a system to their factory HU. I have a new truck (2004 FX4) and want to keep the factory indash 6 disk cd player but want to install my Arsenal 10 CDT comp set and ppi amps. I just don't think that the factory bass treble is going to cut it for tuning though. Any thoughts (hopefully from others with a similar situation) thanx in advance

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…

Hey anyone sell a varible subsonic filter?

Do I fit the power and negative cables in and take my voltage meter to the speaker out lets? I cant remember I want to test it with the stock alt wire and ground and see if I can get more power from doing the Big 3. Im sure you will suggest to use it but I want to know how much a difference it made on my truck and post up the results. Mine is a 2500hd duramax so I know I have a higher amp Alt. Plus 2 batteries already
