What amp would be good to power two Kicker L5 Solo Baric 12s in the 150 to 230 price range? and are those subs good?

I have 2 questions, and was hoping for some answers. 1. Do they make custom alternators, or just the ones listed on the site? 2. How do I contact them? (Is there an email, or do I just have to do it through their website?) Thanks guys

I need copper ring terminals and fuses/fuse holders, and I was wondering if you guys had any websites that sold the best ones. I've searched ebay and a few other sources with some luck, but I'm just wondering if there's a better place to get them.

So i'm sure many of you have heard this question before but i cant seem to find a good answer.. I'm running an Fi bl 15, on a sundown sae 1200d in my scion tc. Big 3 is done. Stock battery is some kind of panasonic. It seems that its not regenerating power quick enough or something. I will start my car in the morning and be at like 13.8 volts, and start it up a few hours later and be at like 13.4 upon startup. I want to be at a consistent higher number than this. Also how can i prevent my voltage from dropping so low when at loud volumes, getting tired of seeing it drop in the mid 11's and having to worry about it. I was going to get an optima yellow top but dont really …

so, like the title says, im begin to look into an active set up. right now i have chitty sony hu (cdx gt310.... first hu). im basicly looking to the option i should be considering when goin to an active set up. obviously im looking for new hu. my idea is to slowly work up the funds for it or put it on my xmax list. as a college student i really dont have the funds but im very interested in this hobby and i think this is the next step. well technically i will be deadening the front doors first and finishing the trunk. my plans are to sell my current hu and pg rsd components when the time comes ofcourse. i also need to run new rca's and clean up some power and gound wiring …

The local Circuit City is going out of business, they have all their car audio stuff marked down 40%. They've got a few Kicker ZX750.1 amps, originally $500..... and you math wizards have already figured out that they are now only $300. Rated at 750rms at 2 ohms, are they stable into a lower load? Like 1.6 (5 Dual 4ohm coil subs in series/parallel? 1.33 (3 4ohm subs in parallel)? Do they put out more than their rated power?

I will be running two batteries for the first time and have some questions. I have an energizer battery under the hood, and a yellow top for the truck. My question is will these two be ok ran together? I thought someone told me the batteries must be the same, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the input.

hi im new here dont know much bout car audio but was wondering what u all thought bout the SAX-100.2 amplifier

looking to put a clean sounding (sq) system in a nissan senta. I do not want to upgrade the alternator. Any on a amplifier suggestions in the $500 range. if it costs a little more that is fine also.

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

I'm contemplating setting up a Car PC for my truck..The one thing that confuses me though is whenever I use an aux source (Ipod) I notice a loss of loudness. Does that generally occur with a Car PC setup too?

ok well in the mini cooper, the back windows are tinted with 5%, plus will be covered completely anyways, so NO sun at ALL will be coming in the back hatch area where the amps are. they are those MTX TA amps, they have that "xtant" cooling thing or whatever, where it sucks air in the front, and it blows out the sides or something like that. well, since its gonna be walled off, no a/c will be in the rear...i basically wanna throw a few fans in the back that come on with the headunit just to have airflow back there....and i dont mean a couple little PC fans...any ideas? something that wont draw hardly any amperage either.

well my 160a2 rockford amp is not working so i opened it up and found that a resistor was blown it was brown around the area it was in. I think i can fix it but i dont now what part it is i need there are so many different resistors. The one on the amp has four band the out side ones are like a brown gold color and the middle ones are some dark color.

I used to have the CCD1200a I think it was called and was very impressed by this amp. I am wondering if any of you have messed with the CCD2400 at all and can tell me if these are any good? Do they really do 2400 watts rms?

why do people think you have to use the same brand amp as the driver?

ok ive been looking throught the "big 3" posts and i understand everything except for the block to chassi ground i cant seem to find the stock one on my truck. if i cant get to it what would be the easiest way to do this also would it hurt anything if i ran 2 1/0 from alt + to batt+?

now i could put it in the trunk or i can take out the passenger air bag, and build a lil custon enclosure for it. Other than that i'm all ears. Just need it so it cant be stolen easily, ie, brake window, take playstation.

Soo what is a good idle amperage for the alternator to have? I've been doin alot of searchin and research, but never really found the answer to this question. I've seen 200a alts that only put out 60-100a at idle. I've also seen 200a alts that put out 100+ at idle. what is a good rating? i know u can get a smaller pulley to make the alt spin faster.\ Just curious because i see a 200a alt i like for 179$ and it does 95a at idle. thats more than i have now cuz i ony have a 95a alt, lol P.s. My transmission went out, secong one in there, plus a new engine. But the alt on a town car and navigator are the same so no worries

So I am currently running a Cadence iA7 and couldn't be more pleased with it's performance. I just ran across a deal from friend who is selling a RF Power T1500-1bdCP brand new for $300. I know I will get substantially more power from the Rockford and I think I am going to switch the two out unless someone tells me why they would keep the Cadence over the RF. Give me your thoughts!

Not sure if I should I get the battery for the front or should I go with the larger ah one in the back.

I need a 2 channel amp that produces 1000-1200x2 watts rms at 2 ohms

I could not find the answer using the search fonction. Sorry. Can I use the Alpine 9886 with the Alpine processor pxa h 701 without getting the "screen" remote( RUX something) ? A friend of mine already has the h u, and he just made a fantastic deal on the processor. He does not know how to run both ! He has the imprint processor but this new one seems way better. If he has to buy the remote, he will do it, but it would be great to just run bost equipment without anything more. Thanks for your help guys !

Just curious if the Atomic 5000.1 can do .5 ohms daily with the proper electrical and how much power it will put out at 13-14volts..

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?

When replacing in line fuses with a bigger size do I have to buy another holder or can I use the one I have now? Thanks
