Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

I have been looking around for one of these (either a 200 or 240a) for a while and havnt come up with anything. i really dont want to go through finding someone to rebuild my stock one. any help would be appreciated.

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

Well as soon as it powers up, it starts to oscillate on one frequency whether or not there is an instrument plugged into it or not. And it doesn't change when the instrument is played. Pretty simple set-up. Uses a simple linear power supply and an op amp as an output device. Could it be a bad input R? I had a similar thing happen with another amp when an input R was broken. Any other thoughts?

so as of the economy being dog chit, i am forced to an extremely small christmas, i will have around 275-300 dollars, so what should i go with between a powermaster2400($280) and a kinetikhc1800 ($259.99) i will be running a rockford fosgate t3001bd with a duralast yellow top and a stock alt with all 1/0 awg, i would love the powermaster but i would also like some other little things ya know. so what would be a better choice between batts

You know, like JL Audio Slash series & Eclipse XA series...

So i am not to familiar with many brands so i would like a few options out there on some amps. What i am looking for is something that is cea rated at 13.8v. I don't need that much power i need 500watts either at 1ohm or 4ohm rated. What i am powering is a single sundown 10" e-series. Reason i need a amp rated at 13.8 is because its going in a 2012 corolla and toyota seems to regulate at a lower voltage which is around 13.8.

Alright, So I Just ordered a kinetik hc1400 gettin here monday which I am going to be putting up front in my car, and I already have a kinetik hc600 in my back near amp. Well I was thinking I would like to add a huge battery in the back to replace the 600.. I was thinking maybe a hc2400 just to have tons of juice and I figure you can never have too much... But then I was like crap Idk if my stock alt can handle charging batteries of this size ( a hc1400 up front + 2400 in back ) So i wanted to see if anyone could help with all you guys experience with tons of batts and alts. Right now I have a 97 honda civic hb, stock alt (65-70amp I believe..) I have the big 3 done alrea…

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

When you build a set up that gets beyond just ho alt and batts and you step up to dual,triple etc alternator how is it wired? Do you run the output from second alt to secondary batts? or does it feed into the system another way? Where do you run the ground? Just wanting to know the general outline of this type of install. Yes I used the search function but no complete answer/understanding.

Does anybody know of any really good double din's out there that have everything u need for a sick system?

well after a long and painful 8 months of design and thought----Pioneer P9 combo is what I have decided on. just letting you guys know----it shouldn't be too much long till I am dropping pics all over this forum of the install.

http://www.powerbastards.com/proddetail.asp?prod=8127-240&cat=2455 I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with powerbastards and I was also wondering weather or not they make decent alternators.

okay, I got my Mach 5 15's and i love them. But until i get the money to get the Sundown amp, I need to figure out which amp I need to use in the mean time. So I have two amps, obviously. I just need to know which amp would be better off for me. I am looking for accurate punchy bass more than I am loudness. So please help me out and let me know which is better. Thanks Guys ~MadroX

I'm looking at upgrading the system in my G35...I've gotten almost everything figured out except the LOC. The stock HU puts out differential balanced signals and I need to convert them for my amp (planning on buying the Boss REV-665). I'm on a budget so I can't replace my HU (plus, the trim conversion kit costs over $300). I need it for 3 channels (fronts and a sub).. so a 4 channel one would work. I've heard the David Navone ones are good (NE-774V) but am concerned with things like this. Are they the best ones compared to just any LOC or should I look at something else? Ideally, I'd like to get the Audiocontrol LC6i/7 but that's out of my budget. Thanks.

The one I was looking at (9856) doesnt have a remote and well, thats pretty much it. Also, the display kind of sucked. I have been saying ill get new speakers, amp sub, kick panels, etc when I actually own the car. But im only doing the HU once. And it has to be done right. http://cartoys.com/default.cfm/t/Car_Audio...reo/o/InDash_CD Thats the list I have to choose from. What is a good one? I was thinking Alpines, but I dont know, it looks like there are some other good ones. I will NOT be amping any speakers yet. So for the first few months ill be using the power straight frm the HU. That means it has to have good power. Has to have a remote, and have 'loudness' for a su…

I sold my amp (thanks, ulrisa) so I'm in the market for a new one to power my 10" Dcon. For my budget I've narrowed it down to these two: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/compare_items.php?sort_order=%2Fviewcat.php%3Ff_72%3D14%26manufacturer_id%3D63%26category_id%3D26%26sort_order%3Dbest_match&product_id%5B%5D=23185&product_id%5B%5D=23872&button=Compare Does anyone here have any experience with Soundstream amps? I don't have any experience with their products, except for the SPL 12's about 10 years ago (they belonged to a friend). I obviously don't know much about the technical stuff, so is the $70+ dollar difference between these two worth it (other than the…

having trouble with engine noise plz help if anyone knows the problem.. everything is wired correctly

I have a Fi BL 15 and im trying to figure out whats better the Terminator 4000d or the saz 1500d? the terminator is cheaper, is the quality good? which one is easier on the electrical system? Cleaner sound? thanks

i have a kenwood KDC-MP245 in my 1997 honda accord with no subs hooked up just my alpine sps-600 speakers in the doors and when i turn it up and the bass hits the head unit will start dimming but not the head lights. does anyone know why this is happening?

and no active cuz yea no. need it need it need it or can someone liek build one for me or something?

I need an amp to push 2 12 re se's. I want to give them at least 1k rms @ 1 ohm. I dont realy wanna spend more than 300 either. One amp ive been looking @ is the AQ1200D but im open to other ideas as ive never used anything from audioque. Thanks

Where do you guys get your wiring from? I was thinking of getting my RCAs from KnuKnoceptz (Krystal series). I've read about getting power wire from WeldingSupply.com. But this is from posts from a year or more ago. Just curious where everyone else goes.

alright heres the deal, I just bought a T shaped distro block with an 1/0g input and 2 1/0 outputs. I planned on on running 1/0g to a sundown 50.4 and a sundown 1500 but when i got the 50.4 today the power input looks like the biggest size i can use is 4g. So im wondering what the best way to solve this would be...can i just put 4g wire in the 1/0g output? or would it be better to get a different dblock? And before i order the 1500 i was wondering if it only accepted 4g max too

well fellas, i sold my old alpine mrv1000, and i decided to buy another amp..... this amp is for my DLS MW12 (91db,400rms SVC) i need some amp for 400rms or more powa, subsonic filter , class A/B and very clean power what do they recomend me?????' i see the diamond audio D5 600.2 this is a good amp??? other choices???? my price range its under 200bucks thanks

Soon I will be getting a 12" AudioQue HDC3 (Copper Coils) and was wanting to finally upgrade my Front Stage Mids & Highs. This is the first time I dealt with Component Systems and 2-Channel Amps so some of these questions might sound stupid. I am considering RE Audio 6.5 Components or Rockford Fosgate T162s and they both are 4 Ohm. Does this mean that after you connect mid & highs to crossover then crossover to amp, then will the final impedance to the amp be 4 ohms? Or is there a way to wire component systems in parallel to get a 2 ohm load? One more question. Is each channel kinda like a different amp? For example, If I have a 4 Channel amp can I have 2 channe…
