What can happen if to many things are hooked to one remote wire? . . . Every once and a while my amps will shut off like there protecting and sometimes the cd player will shut off but volts will be in the low 13s . Could this happen from alot of things hooked to one remote? . I have both sub amps. My 4 chan amp. An eq and both volt meters all from one remote

I just picked up a alpine 7949 full copper chassis, anyone used one before?? I know its a flagship SQ unit.. along the 7909 line, just curious to views and opinions thanks, Joe

I plan to wire my sub to my amp like this, My question is, would it be the same if i ran 1 positive wire out of 1 positive terminal on the amp into 1 positive terminal on the voice coil and the other positive terminal on the amp to the other positive terminal on the other voice coil and the same for the negative?

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

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...

So basically I put the ground wire in the power input and power wire and the ground input, now my amp won't turn on, fuck me. All I wanna know is what did I fuck up or possibly fuck up? Thanks for your help..

I was wondering will the memphis mojo 4kw run at a 1/2 ohm on burps with proper voltage. I do know that the 08 version will run at 1/2 ohm but they changed a few things on the new mojo.

I have a ssa dcon dual 4 ohm and I bought a mtx thunder 3401 momkblock amp from a friend. I want to wire it to 2 ohms. The amp has two pos and neg outputs. Idk how to wire it. Do I wire it as if it's bridged and do pos of first two outputs with neg of the second two outputs? Just got it today and I did wire it the way I said and it doesn't sound as if it's pushing the full 400 watts. If anyone can get me a wiring diagram for this amp that would help

i already have the epicenter but i want something i can use on newer songs just for that extra punch. can anybody give me any info on the bass cube or reviews?

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?

Is anyone out there running lot's of power (+2KW) on a stock electrical system?

Recently i had to return a kenwood KDC-BT945U because it kept getting really hot and messing with the sound quality so im looking for something else. Im looking for something that has at least three sets of preouts (front, rear, and sub), aux input, decent ipod/iphone controls, and a good equilizer. Bluetooth would be cool but i can make calls on my phone so i really need something that will play music loud and for long periods of time. The guy at best buy showed me a JVC KW-XR810 but for some reason im a little hesitant with that brand. Id like to keep the budget under $300, but i understand you get what you pay for so going over wont hurt me too bad. I allready got a d…

hi everyone have a problem and need your help i have a lanzar opti drive amp and i hook it up all right. the amp shows power but puts out no bass to my subs. now when i turn off my car the amp still stays on even when i pull out 1 of my fuses in the amp,

ok i know there is a topic here somewhere on this but i have searched using keywords and didnt find what i was lookin for. i would like to know what are suggestions to correctly power a sundown 3500. it is not s competition vehicle jus a daily driver. the speakers will be 4 fi ssd's ( i already own them) run @1ohm. most likely this will go in my ford escape which already has 0ga upgrade, kinetic 2400, batcap800 for electrical. i know i need an alt so i will get probably one runnin at 14-15v 300-400a. i might only compete once or twice but this is just for me to blurr my vision when i'm feelin it. how many batts should i add after i get the alt?

I HAVE A JVC KW-AVX830. The usb port is a cord that comes from the back of the HU and it it hard wired to it. I have not had the thing a year yet. It was working fine everyday. Until yesterday. I plugged my phone.in and nothing. Tried my thumb drive too. Same thing. I'm pretty sure nothing has changed.as far as the set up goes. Pulled out the HU today and wiggled the wire around a bit and still, nothing. Kinda P.O. about.it. I just got hold of a bunch of supposedly high bass song for.my thumb drive. Any thoughts ?

Drew and I have been discussing some possible options for my new HU and I decided to order a Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X794. Pretty pumped! Anyone have any experience with this HU? Yeah I know it's a little late for that but w/e

How big of an alt would i need for 2 saz-1500 on 2 yellow tops.

I'l try to keep this short. Last week my p99rs remote stopped working and I thought "the batttery went quick". I bought a replacement battery, should have check the original first, but it still doesn't work. I popped it apart expecting to find nothing wrong, but instead I find a coil of wire wrapped around a spool and the spool is broken form the base with a broken wire as well. I went to the local radioshack, looking for help. The guy tthere said it looks like a choke, but wasn't sure. In a responce from pioneer the remote is $84.95 + tax + shipping. I about shit myself, gouge me some more already. These a the best close ups I'm able to get with this camera, sorry I can'…

I'm looking for a 3000rms amp and wondering if you guys have any experience with any good one sundown saz-3000d rf t30001bd etc any other suggestins would be greatly apreciated

Ok I just got an audio pipe 1300 amp it's a 2 channel amp. If I wire it two the outside + and - and hook it up to a 4 ohm single coil sub will that show as a 2 ohm load bridged and give it 600 watts or read it as 1 ohm and 300 watts??

So what would happen if I crossed the power and ground on the amp? Yes, I did this accidentally, for less than 5 minutes ! The amp does have a reverse polarity protect on it, but what damage, if any, have I done? Is it completely fried? I went ahead and put the wires back in correctly, and I still got no sound to my fronts. Thanks for your replies

Just got a call from my dad and he's been having problems with his OEM HU and Cd's getting stuck. Chevy Silverado 2005. Can someone help me with this situation and also provide info on how to prevent this from happening. Thanks!

okay so my 1997 jeep wrangler's stock alt produces 90amps. Im looking into buying two sundown sa-12's, feeding each 600watts at 1ohm. So my question is will my stock alt suffice?
