i have found a shuriken on sonics. its like 70 bucks but i dont know if it is the right size for my amp, i have a 1200watt brutus. i will be adding hids and a smaller amp for highs. do you think this will work for a second batt in the back?......may be my post is not clear i have bad dimming problems from my sub. i was going to invest into a batt to help this problem and also do the big 3. i donot want to wham on my sub due to the fact i hear if it is not powered correctly it will damage my amp and sub. i know i do not have anything crazy so i thought a small batt would suffice the systems power needs. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?app=forums&modu…

I am going to be running 4 saz1500 amps. My question is if I were to have the rca's signal go into the input of one amp and then use the outputs on that amp to connect it to the next amps' inputs and I do this for all 4 amps like a chain will there be a noticeable amount of signal delay? Would I be better off getting some form of rca block that has 4 outputs and run each output to it's own amp?

I have a Denon DCT-A100 HU and I have been looking for some good external signal processors since the Denon has absolutely nothing as far as processing goes. I'm basically looking for at least a 30 band EQ that has all your basic features, time alignment, etc. What are my options? My setup is as follows: 2 Fi Q 12's (possibly upgrading to 18's in the future) running in an IB Sundown SAZ-1500 on the subs And what's coming soon: Hybrid Technologies Legatia 3-way set (8" woofer, 4" midrange, 1" tweeter) Sundown SAX-100.4 on the mids and woofers Sundown SAX-100.2 on the tweets

will you notice any deferents between a deck with a 95 db signal to noise ratio or a deck with a 105 db. With 2 volt out puts and also the same ? with 4 v out

Just recently i have experienced some problems with my system. 15" diamond audio hex pro & audioque 1200 (witch use to be a diamond audio 1200). At first i was experiencing a slight smell after a minute or so at loud volume. A friend of mine told me the capacitors in my diamond audio amp were frying. I then purchased a audioque 1200 and swapped it out with the diamond amp. At the first install the ground was bad so i moved it and scraped the paint. The slight smell came back even after switching the amps. I then started to experience the subwooofer fading in and out at times. One time it went completely silent and after turning the car on and off the sub came back on.…

my amp has been magnetized sitting in my closet for a few days. screws and tools will get pulled to it...is this a bad thing?

hey guys i'm planning on going for a sound quality system and my amp is a db3000 mono block amp and i saw that it has 4 speakers terminals. I've read around and it says that the amp is internally brigded but i'm still confused the 12 i was looking to go with soundsplinter 12 rl-p and i was looking to wire it to a 2ohm load giving it 950 watts but the terminals are still confusing so if someone could explain getting a 4ohm load, 2ohm load i would greatly appreciate

Ok, I am revamping an old mobile sound system in my 2000 jeep Cherokee. It will consist of... deh 80prs ?dsp? ? 4-6 ch? amp F.ch-exodus anarchy 6.5"x2 seas 1"27tbfgc x2 Back- 8"usher 8945p x2 possible Rear fill w/saz 125.2. - 5.25" peerless hds exclusive x2. saz1500.1d single 12" Xcon d2. Lots of deadener and foam. My questions are: 1: I'm going to run the new deh-80prs, which has a 3 way active xover internally. So, do I still need to run a dsp, ms8, bit one etc... To run my fronts as active? 2: If I do this, can I also run a 5 ch. To run front 2 way active, and then, off of sub ch, run my mids in rear passenger doors. I know there aren't spots designated there, b…

well guys, i may finally have a buyer for my alt. so i have been looking into some alternators for my new truck. i can either get a mechman 270 BNIB for $250 (never ran or mounted before) or a mike singer 260 for $250 thats 4 months old. which do you guys think would suit me better. im still running 1 ssa zcon 15 on my AQ3500.1 @ 2ohm (2600watts) and in the future (in the next year or so) id like to add a second zcon. i will be purchasing a extra battery or two ( shuriken BT-80's) and im running all 0 gaughe with a 250amp fuse under the hood and 2 200amp fuses in the distribution block at the amp.

Alrighty, 2001 honda civic sedan ES1. Singer 320 Amp alternator. Came with a black bracket for the bottom and a spacer for the top. Was suggested to get a smaller belt by other people but it won't even go on with the factory size belt. Bottom brackets do not line up at all. Don't really know what to do. Pics Alt with black bottom mounting bracket Alt mounted on top with belt on. Where the black bracket provided does not come close to fitting with the factory adjustable bracket.

I'm looking to replace my stock alt. But I'm in a small budget can any one give me their inputs regarding these alt? And maybe a ball park guess on how much it would be to replace my stock 140A alt I have a 2000 Acura integra ls.

ordered a 250A alternator Friday the 2nd. just got a email saying its on its way here. Mike Singer not only has killer customer service but the man doesnt mess around.

Just placed my order for the 330 max 200+ at idle alternator that Mike Singer makes. Has anybody tried these out before? I'll be sure to post up a review when it comes in!

One of 2 alts running/being clamped. Real time, on music (skip to 50s or so,.. canyon is a bitch to drive this hunk of shit, and vid, and not kill anyone.,..,..)

I'm looking at getting a Deka 9A31 (actually the O'reilly branded one that's the same thing). For my Dodge Magnum. The Magnum has the battery in the rear and I do not have a suitable place to run a second battery so I want a battery I can run alone, no other starting battery. Will the 9A31 handle being a daily driver? I came across some truck/bus forum that mentioned that they did not have good luck with them. In addition to being the starting battery it will be running a pair of Sundown 100.2's and a Sundown 1500d and I have the factory 160 amp alternator. Will there be any foreseeable problems with this setup? (I live in Minnesota so the winters can get brutal). and if …

Hey guys Im looking for a single din flip out for my car. Reason why I am choosing a flip out is because I have limited space, and still want my A/C. I could put in a double din below it but I dont want to do that. I am looking for a NAVI/GPS h/u with basic features, cd/dvd. I don't want to spend a fortune on it. My price limit is about $700. So far after some research, I am looking at a Pionner AVIC-n4 or n5. Anyone have any input on whats a good h/u? Brands? Thanks!

Hey everyone so here's the deal I don't wanna spend $200 on a bezel to fit a double din... Although double dins look sick! So I'm sticking with a single din that has a flip out touchscreen. I've been looking everywhere for one the suits me. I have OCD and all the buttons need to be red along with a display that can be made red or something that won't stand out. My car is red and black. Also I need 3 preamp outputs. Subs, rear and front. Along with all this I need to be able to charge my iPhone and use it with the unit. I keep all my music in my phone, and I enjoy making calls through Bluetooth. Now I would like the USB port to be on the rear but the worlds not perfect hah…

So I've noticed my system makes makes a sound like bacon sizzlin' on a pan when I go from 0 to 1 on the volume knob. It's not noticable at normal listening volumes, but I'm sure it's still present in the signal. I was wondering if this should concern me.

Anyone have experience with that amp? Thinking about running 4 skar 6.5 midbass off this amp 1 in each door?

I picked up a 125.4D from my repair tech..never heard one but he said it puts out more than rated and sounds pretty clean. I will soon find out. Just curious the deal on the amps and company., Most of what I have seen is not that favorable but I dont know if that is the owner or the product. my tech is a engineer and he reverse engineered the amp and had good things to say about it. better quality that he has seen in a while.

SSA I am looking for a 4 channel amplifier to power a pair of components so that I can add rear deck speaker or go active at a later time. The two main amps I am looking at are the SKAR Audio LP-80.4 and RE Audio USX-4250. Is there any knowledge of if these amps put out what they are rated at in clean power? Are there better amps for around $175? Thanks, hayestc

ok so I just bought this amp for 475 dollars from a buddy of mine that is switching to sound qubed...im going to either get 2 15s or 4 12s not sure yet or even the brand...I was lookin at the American bass spl 15s...but my buddy told me we could use that amp and wire the subs to 4 ohms and itll only pull around 1500 watts rms and my stock alternator would b sufficient until I can do the upgrade on everything...and he said after I upgrade my electrical we could wire the subs to 2 ohms n get the 3500 so I have several questions.....first off what does everyone think of this amp? ive never heard of it but my buddy said its a beast.....second wat would b the best set up 4 12s…

Hey all, Got the prototypes in my hands today . Very satisfied with the quality of the work done! I will edit this thread tomorrow with tested power results. 1500W (0 GA Power Terminals) @ 1 Ohm is the first amp 800W (4 GA Power Terminals) @ 1 Ohm is the second amp Will post estimated pricing shortly as well! These are designed to be some brutal class D amps as you SPL enthusiasts have come to expect, so I think you will be very pleased!
