Hey all, I have a question about routing power in the car for mobile video... I have 6 items that need to be powered on the roof: 3 15" flip-down monitors, 2 sun visor monitors, and a video signal booster. Each piece of equipment has #18 gauge power/ground leads and they are fused with very thin glass fuses, so I'm assuming they draw very little amperage (none of the equipment lists actual numbers and Google searches proved useless) so I'm assuming total load I'm looking at under 15 amps or so. I have some spare 9ga wire I could run from the battery up to the headliner for power (it might be overkill but the next smallest wire I have is 18ga and I'm trying to work with w…

I got a new highs amp from a friend of mine! Epic ass Audiosystems X-Ion 70.6 Plus!!!! Two fans on this side and two side on the other. A little fuzzy, but you get the idea.

I did a bit of searching, and it seems that a few people are against the KLM Copper Clad Aluminum cable. I plan on getting the 1/0 KLM cable for my Sundown 1500D for a 15ft run. KnuKonceptz claims that their 1/0 CCA will do fine as long as you're not running gobs of wattage. Anyone think otherwise? Thanks, Trevor

Hey all. I just bought a 1993 Ford Tbird Super Coupe and the tape deck isn't going to cut it. I want a cd player that I can go active with. I was looking at the Eclipse 3200, I'm not sure if that's a good choice. I trust that you guys can help me out. Budget: No more than 300. Listening Preferences: Classic and modern rock. I'm toying with 3 way active, but I may just do a 2 way. Input on this would also be appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

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

Theres gotta be a faster way to scroll thru the ipod interface.... the 6000 model was easy u can go by scrolling thru the letter and pick the song from there... anyway to do that for the 9800?

Well i just installed all my equipment in my 4runner. I received my speakers today and hooked everthing up...4 15 ssd w/copper coils and bp power option...and im running 2 MA HK802SX amps.......Well the system hits pretty good, but i think it should or can do more....My voltage is dropping down to 10.2 volts at worst. Im loosing power like crazy....Even with multiple grounds and hots distributed everywhere my grounds are getting warm!!!!!<---not good i know.....I have the following installed right now -165 Amp Alternator -Kinetik HC1800 Under Hood -Optima Blue Top in the rear with amps (temp) I know this is not enough juice, but i have the optima sold and i was going t…

IS 389 from an authorized dealer a good price on this thing? Actually, is it a great price? If it is an awesome price I might have to pick it up, but if its just a pretty good price then I think i'll pass. The reason is, I would have to call my godfather and he's in Italy. He'll get it for me for a bday present probably, but I dont want to bother him over an ok deal.

Well, My Kenwood Fried Itself. I'll Never Buy One Of Those Again. So, I Ask You, The SSA Audio Forum Public, For Near $250 Or Under, What Is The Best Possible HU For My Setup. I Like Clarity, But I Like Loud. The Components In My Sig Pretty Much Explain That. My Preferred Brand Is Eclipse But I'm Open To Others.

can a HO alt still work but get damaged and charge at a lower voltage, around 13.8V when it used to charge around 14.8V?

Well I really like my current head unit which is a Pioneer 880PRS but I kinda would like to add navigation and DVD capabilities. So I started to think on how I could do it suggestions would be appreciated. I would like to keep the 880 as the primary unit and the nav as the secondary. My current idea is to add a Avic n3 and hook up the audio through an auxiliary adapter something like this http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/p...0_35681,00.html Help is appreciated.

so i fried something in the amp, i think they are called the output transistors. i have pics if any one is intersted i can send a pm. here's the story: so tonight, i am finally exited to get my subs into the car and start wangin. let me tell you what happened before tonight though. about a week or so ago, i already had my box completed (not finished though) me and my bro went out to test it with the nine.1. we tried it facing up first and it was working fine, then we decided to test it facing the rear and it still no problems. then I wanted to try facing up one more time. this time, I heard something pop as soon as I turned it on and then all four 30 amps blew. one more t…

Kenwood KDC-MP205 Anybody familiar with this? My step bro just got one and we CANNOT figure out how to get it to play his itouch through the AUX input

What kind of wiring am i going to need, assuming 1/0 gauge? So far i have: SUB: Fi 15" BL AMP: saz-1500 ENCLOSURE: 3.8ft^3 @ 32 hz i have no clue how much and what kind of wiring i am going to need.

Well I've decided on getting an XS D3400 for a second battery in the back of my escape. I currently have 4 gauge going back there, would that be enough or should I go for 0 gauge? I could always upgrade the wire down the road if I have to, but for now I'm only running 1500 watts.

I was planning on buying 4 of the C&D High Rate 100 lb batteries for my car. They do something like 140 aH. I can get them for under $200 shipped each. I was looking into the d3100 batteries along with other batteries which are almost double the price. How much of a difference is there between the C&D batteries and say the d3100? Is it worth the extra $700 total I would have to spend? I am powering 4 of the saz1500s, 1 100.4, and 1 120.2. I have a 260 amp alternator. Let me know what you think.

I'm kinda debating whether I should go with a Rockford Fosgate 2500-1bd for my 2 Fi Bl 18"s or should get 2 Rockford 1500-1bd what you guys think? Can the 2500 have enough power for them 18"s or will I have to buy 2 1500??

I am running power from rear battery to amp. My question is will I be ok with 24in from battery to the fuse holder (300A fuse)then from there 56in to amp? Or do I run 12in from rear battery to fuse holder then a run to amp?

I picked up a cdx-c90 the other day but it didnt come with either of the 2 remotes. The remote I need is the RM-X9. Does anyone know if theres another sony remote thats comptaible with this deck?

Anyone know the best place to get some 0 gauge wire for the lowest price?

Hey guys. bought myself a new toy as some of you may know. now that its here and i have a little bit of time i want to install it but i havent done anything like it before so i have a few questions to shoot at u guys. all my speakers are single 4ohm and i will be wiring the amp at 2 ohms. she gives out 260rms per channel according to the birth sheet. Some of my new equipment: Amp wiring kit: KnuKonceptz complete ofc 4g 4-channel kit http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL-AK4-4 Amp: Rockford Fosgate T400-2 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8893_Rockford-Fosgate-Power-T400-2.html?SearchClickout%5Bquery_id%5D=18989027&SearchClickout%5BIgnore%5D=1…

I am looking for a new Hu But dont want to break the bank. Some features I am looking for are @ Least 4v preouts Must play mp3's Look sexy LOL Remote would be Nice. 3 or more sets of pre outs. Must have good SQ Ect... Can u guys recomend some models? Thanks .

So lets say I have the potential to draw 700amps with my system, If I have 1 battery under the hood and 3 more in the trunk, a run of 3/0AWG wire front to back, how do I fuse it? Last time I checked the largest ANL fuse was 300AMP How do you guys with monster systems do it? other than multiple runs of power wire.
