Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

i have 4 choices to choose for an amp for my re audio xxx comps since i really didn't like the offers i had for them. and so i am looking at amps for them and here is what i am thinking. Sundown Saz100-2 Kickers sx250.2 (if they can handle 250 watts) Kickers 400.2 Jl 300/2 These are 2 ohm speakers and i am only going to be running a front stage so they neet to able to get fairly loud since i will be having 2 12" icons for the subs.

I am looking at the following three headunits and would like to see what you guys recommend. If you have another option let me know about it. Time correction and sound quality are most important. The crossover abilities may come into play but my amps have that area covered. Thanks for your input. Alpine CDA 9887, Eclipse CD7100, Pioneer DEH-P880PRS. All of these do the basic features I need such as satellite radio and Ipod. I do not car anything about the area serve in the Eclipse. I am more concerned with which one would give me the best sound quality performance and have the best build quality.

I took my bmw to a local install shop here in Atlanta.... I had them make me a sealed box for my 2 15's. Solobaric l7's to be exact(dual 4 ohm)..... i dropped my car off and left.... When I returned everything was done! EXCEPT! I have a o guage kicker wiring kit and they told me 0 guage wouldnt be necessary so i said ok we'll see what happens first... i told them i wanted to use the 300a kicker fuse though.... I returned and all my settings were turned up... the sub on the radio was at 15/15 the highest it would go..... the bass was at its highest level and the gain was more then 75% up..... they told me......" we've been playing it hard for the last hour trying to break …

Okay, So here in a few days Im ordering two subs.... Either the Maw-15's or the Eclipse SW7200. Both of which are rated 500w Rms. So I have picked out some Amps that caught my eye to use to push them. Take a look and tell me what you think. Please feel free to inform me of other Amps from which I did not list. MONO ___________________ Memphis 16-PRD1000.1 HiFonics 1606D Sundown SAE-1000D Us Amps XT-2000D 2-Channel ___________________ HiFonics ZXi 1006 So yea...... Thnks in advance

Well, I have to ask for help this time. I have a high pitched whine coming through my speakers, even without the car running, so it's not engine noise, but this one is strange. While troubleshooting, I grounded both the radio chassis, RCA shields (Pioneer FTL), regular ground, redone every ground in the car, ran new RCA's, etc etc. So I gave up last night, and decided to sleep on it. This morning, went back out to combat the problem, just turned the key to ACC, fired it up, and it was gone. Went to start the car, and it came back. So I did a little more troubleshooting, and went back in and figured out that with the key in ACC, there is no noise, but as soon as I tur…

Well I ask this question on another forum and I guess to must be too tough or too stupid to answer. I can not find any info relating to this. I am about to include a AudioControl DQXS into my system. I will be running my front stage (MB Quarts QSD 216) active off a Sundown Audio 100.4 amp. I'm new to running "Active" so here's what I don't completely understand... Gain Settings. I have read and understand the input/output level setting procedures for the DQXS. What about the gain settings on the amp? Quote from the manual.... "Now adjust the output level control until the "2 volt" or "5 volt" light starts to flicker. You will want the output voltage to match up to your…

I just picked up a pair of MTX Thunder TA81001D amps, and according to the engineers at MTX there is no way to disable the subsonic filter or bypass the built in EQ in the pre-amp board (which is a crock). The TA92001, TE4001, and TE1501 units all have a button to bypass all of this garbage, but no such button exists on the TA81001. If you take the pre-amp board out, you can clearly see a spot on the board for the bypass switch - Labeled as "S102". MTX refuses to give me a schematic or instructions on what needs to be jumpered, removed, etc. to eliminate the EQ and Subsonic filter pieces. I'm about to tear into it myself, but figured I would ask here first. If anyone has …

Are they any good? The ones in question are the GD-6001 and AP-3001. Do they do rated power? How durable are they? How is the build quality and reliabity? I know that the GD-6001 is CEA Compliant so it should do rated if not more but I am worried about the quality of the amps. I want first hand experience not what people have heard. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

rated is 22.5w rms x 2 @ 4 ohm cardomain says it will do 67w rms x 2 @ 4 ohm it actually does 80w rms x 2 @ 4 ohm!!! for all my tweeters ive got 2 punch150's on the way, and im ordering 4 more!

Ok so for my system I'm going to be using a Memphis PR500 (Im almost certain thats what it was) to power my two Assasain 8's so first off...is this a good choice for these subs. I know its a good amp, so I think that question was actually redundant....secondly. How much amp draw on my electrical system will I be seeing when I have this thing pounding?

i have noticed that the new amps have no way of letting you know where you are setting the Freq at... i.e older PPi amps have notched pod switches, so you could count the clicks to let you know what freq: you were setting to !!! if i set the SSF to 24 clicks ( counter clockwise ) i knew it would play no lower than 23Hz and if i set the LP filter to 18 clicks ( counter clockwise ) i would play no higher than 122Hz now they use cheep generic pod switchs, and nothing printed to give the user a clue as to were you are on the freq: graph... WTF happened ? are they saving that much money using the cheeper pod switch ?

Recently purchsed a Crossfire vr1000d, hooked it up today and it turns on then about 10 seconds later makes a click sound then switches to protect and right back to power. And does this non stop, Does this mean the amp i have bought is blown? It even does it with just the power, grnd, and remote wire hooked up. To my understanding if it was blown it'd be a solid into protect

I am buying 2 of either amp and I wanted to know whether anybody has had a positive experience with either of these amps.

anyone heard of this brand amp? is it good? what do yall think about it?

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/in...p;productId=108 What is that amps peak power, if 500watts is RMS? Also does it include a bass controller? and can I set my subs to run off a switch so that I can turn them on and off.

Alright so I had a nine.1 I bought used. Worked great for a couple months then all 4 fuses would blow on it. So I sent it to eD under warranty. Finally recieved one back after like 3 months of waiting. Installed the amp, worked for about 5-10 minutes then did the same thing. The amp was extremely hot to the touch also. eD wasn't much help so I decided to say fudge it and I purchased a used SAZ-1500D from Jacob which should be arriving Monday. I've been talking back and forth with Jacob about this problem and he said that there might be a short in my power wire. Theres only one spot where the rubber encasing is wore down a little bit but none of the wires i…

Whats up guys this is Rp i own a car audio shop in Lafayette IN i am running street c this year and looking for new amps... currently using 4 Memphis 4kw and pro-comp subs. looking at the 3000 watt ssa but i need test results on them... volt drop\ power\ ohm\ and amp draw

the alpine 9887 vs the pioneer p880prs... which would be the better choice? or is there other worthwhile h/u to look into... budget is 300-550 as of now leaning towards pioneer since ive never had a problem w/ my current one

I was offered this amp in a trade for my RE comps I have F/S. What are your thoughts on this amp? Thx, Vic.

I'm looking at this dual headunit and I was wondering if it is a good choice, its only 17RMS but I dont really care I just want to make sure it won't blow up I plan to get a amp for my speakers soon so 17RMS is fine right now. I already have a after market head unit in my car will I need the wire and harness still??? this is what I'm looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/DUAL-XDM7610-CD-MP3-AM...1QQcmdZViewItem

Has anyone ever ordered a refurbished amp? How did it work out for you? And would you buy one again?

http://www.cardomain.com/item/ROCPUNCH150 will this amp do this power? Very Underrated Amplifier. Rockford Tested Power Ratings: 260W RMS x 2 @ 4 Ohms 489W RMS x 2 @ 2 Ohms its rated: 75W RMS x 2 @ 4 Ohms 90W RMS x 2 @ 2 Ohms

im lookin into buyin an 15" or 18" FI BL subwoofer and ive been intrested in these 2 amps my question is what amp would be a better choice for the sub?? thanks

Is USAcoustics Still Around Just wondering as cant find any where that sell them on the net and they haven't updated their site since 2004. http://www.usacoustics.com/

I have read the amp setting tutorial on CA.com and it says to play a 60hz tone and set your gains to the AC voltage for your RMS. My question is wouldn't it be better to set the gains based on your box tuning because the amp puts out more power near box tuning to avoid clipping or would you still use a 60 hz tone? Like my box is tuned to 40 hz wouldn' it be better to tune my system with a 40hz test tone? Correct me if I am wrong, please and since I listen to rap I should use a -3db tone right? And just wondering does anybody know what db tones are used on Bass Mekanik Quad Maximus? Could I use that to set my gains safely?
