ive got a 02 blazer and will be installing 6.5" comp set up front and getting rid of the rear speakers, would there be anything wrong with mounting the x-overs in the rear speaker location?

this might sound noobish but i wasnt sure. im getting an aq2200d, but im not going to be running it at 1 ohm, im going to be running it at 2 ohms for the time being. the question is, do i need to up the battery and treat like im running it at 1 ohm (2200 W)? i think i should be fine off my stock battery since im only pusing ~1300 watts correct?

I've got a crescendo 1000c4 that can run either 500w x2 bridged at 4 ohms 250w x2 bridged at 8 ohms how can i tell if its wired at 4 or 8 ohms ? and if it was at 4 ohms would an s4 sub work ? or only d4

My 2005 civic has only a 70 amp alternator and I was wondering If I can run a 500 watt amp without problem? Will my lights dim at night? This will be the only amp running and I would do the big 3

Saw this head unit for pretty decent price...plus it comes with the ipod cord(ive got an ipod) looked nice is this a nice budget hu? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=17793

i bought this deck yesterday and it comes with the demo mode on, in the insructions it says to push and hold the volume knob in for 2 seconds and it will switch it from on to off, and off to on depending on what its already in, but when i do this the mode is still on, can anyone help me? it would be greatly appreciated

looking for a new amp that does atleast 1000 watts at 2ohms and would like it to be under 300 any ideas?

maaaybe 1000w...250-325 price range if possible.

Well for some reason my power winodws and my interior lights are not working any more so im guessing its my battery because i was away for 4 weeks and i came back and it was dead but wahtever, so im assuming my battery is like shitty but i wanted to get a new battery anyways so if i get a new battery would this help me out in the future for my 2 bl 12's and sax 1500d amp? i plan on getting a optima red top oir should i get a yellow top? i just need a new battery in general not just one battery to power my amp im going to get this done within the next hour and hopefully they change the battery for me thanks also could i just use my old battery to power the amp ? or do i n…

just wondering what i need to set my gains at voltage wise with my ac meter for this amp. is it around 80 volts? thanks for any help

Hey so I was browsing woofersetc today and I came across this Clarion VZ400 Looks pretty nice for less than $400. I looked everywhere but I couldn't find a review. Anyone tried one of these or used a clarion head unit and know how they do? Looks like a steal to me so I'm just looking for second opinions.

I have a XS Power D3400 as my starting battery mounted in the engine compartment and an axuiliry D3400 mounted in my trunk. The batteries are wired in parallel with no isolator/relay. I have an alternator on order from DC Power but I have yet to receive it. My stock alternator is 90 amps. My system draw can be over 100 amps but I have it tuned down for now. I monitor my voltage which stays above 13.3 volts, worse case with engine running. I am concerned that I will damage my stock alternator and XS Power batteries with my system demands. I am getting more and more ticked that it is taking DC Power over 4 months to get me my alternator and I still do not know when I will h…

Hey, I was just wondering if there's any rule of thumb or some sort of math to see how many batteries you need. For example: If u have a 150A alt and a 170A draw. Will you be fine with just one batt or do you need another. This is just a theoretical scenario

Hey hi i have the MTX 2300x amp , i am about to put it in my car for a sub, but i can;t remember which two speaker outputs to use the markings are all worn off could you let me know thanks for any help

ok i think i got it. check out the diagram, and tell me if its right. i heard that alot of amps will output a low freq or pop for a second when you turn the amp on, and to use a cap on each channel to not allow that freq. to get to my tweeters. the nominal load of each channel after i wire it up will be 1.5 ohm. so according to WinSD or whatever it is, it say that a 68uF 100V cap (with the 1.5 ohm load) will not let any freq under 1000ish Hz pass through that cap. is that right? i also have the Coustic XM6 (just ordered) which is 18dB per octave, and then the HPF on my amp is 12dB per octave, does that make my overall slope for the tweets 30dB? plus does the cap still add…

So I was reading about my 2002 jeep liberty (KJ) electrical system and found this The charging system of our KJ's is much different to ones in the past. I have been told that in an efforet to protect the PCM and other computer components in the KJ, the charging system draws from the battery FIRST and then calls on the Atl/Gen to re-plenish the battery as needed. That is why the new generation of Deep Cycle batteries work so well. They have the reserve power to allow the extra toys without needing to add the huge alt/gen of the past. As you use your lights, stereo, winches, what ever, they will be drawing from a battery that is not designed to power all that stuff. A deep …

I know that there are some good amp companies out there, i need a suggestion for, a single 3way comp set up front and 2 15" SI Mag D2s. Comp watts needed 400 total, 2 channel. Sub watts needed 2.5K-3K total mono/ or 2 mono d block amps. Any suggestions for these wattages... moneys not the issue but i dont wana spend alot. I want quality stuff. But not over the top. any suggestions welcome.

Will work for an amp stable at 1/2 ohm mono correct?

Hey guys. I'm looking for a new HU. I like in dash screens rather than flip out. But I'm looking for a HU that will work with my setup. I ordered a FI BTL 18 powered by a hifonics 2600, also I have a DC power HO alt on Its way. Any suggestions appreciated

I normally get my music from youtube. With my new receiver i want to use videos instead of just music. I have tried every file format i can find and none will play in my pioneer. Any suggestions?

ok so i bought some 0 gauge welding wire for my amp. can i just ground my batt. to the chassis and engine then ground my amp to the chassis? this probably sounds stupid but i dont wanna fuck up

ok tell me if this is right a 1000wrms sub @ 1ohm on a saz1500 the gain should read 31.6 on the dmm. ok other then the gain what should i set the subsonic and my lpf at? the box its in is 3.5ft^3 tuned at 40 hz. i really need this help b4 my sub gets murdered thanx in advance to whoever helps me

It was called the Manhattan... It was 5 feet long & it required cooling lines. It was featured back in the day as a new product feature in a car audio magazine (early 90's?).
