Is the Jensen VM9021TS a good HU, Has anyone owned this receiver in the past and had any problems with it.

I was planning on this amp Hifonics BXi 1606D - Hifonics 1 Ch 1600 Watt RMS Amplifier http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=3804 However, now it is crunch time to buy it, so I am having second thoughts. How would this amp be for two TC-7's. http://tcsounds.com/tc7.htm Should I consider something else? I am going to run it at 1ohm, so I think this will be good. But, any other amps better for under 300? I really dont want to pay more then that.

Question for yall: I just got my saz-1500d, hooked it up, all is good. With my previous amp, I use a kicker kx3 xover for the linedriver/bass knob features on it. Just for kicks, I hooked up the kicker bass knob to the sundown amp. It works fine, but when I turn the knob up over halfway, rather than increase gain, it decreases gain. It does get to the same volume level that the sundown knob gets to, I'm just wondering if it will hurt anything to use the kicker as it is already cut into my dash. Thanks for replies.

Hey this is my first post, and off the bat let me say I am no audio genius nor am I close. I was refered here by Helotaxi, and I'm sure you guys can answer any questions I have. So that said, I am in the market for a Audio/Video head unit, that has Ipod control, mp3,cds, and all that good stuff. Someone on my car forums (SRTForums.com) was selling a Pioneer AVH 57000 I believe for 500$. It has the ipod adapter already, and the switch so you can watch while on the road. Anyways I was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of a great AV unit for around that price, or if you have any tips or anything else. Thanks You. -Mykel

I got a Western Digital 160gb External HD. I was just trying to figure out some ways to hook this thing up to my Pioneer DEH-P6900UB. If the Usb port on the back of the HU is powered, would it have enough power to handle the HD or would I need to get a Power Inverter and mount it in the glovebox to keep it from looking to tacky. I was wanting to Mount the actual HD itself on the floorboard under the HU because it has the LED power light. Anyway Whatcha think. ~MadroX

I have two 12" Kicker L7s on a PA 2400DB, which does about 1400W. My subs are dual 2 ohm and im looking for an amp that does at least 1600 clean watts. Or anything yall would recommend to make these things beat. Don't get me wrong though these things do hit hard. I have a sealed box now, but i may want to go to a ported box. What do yall think the cubic ft. and tuning should be for 2 12" L7s. (I listen mostly to rap) Thanks in advance.

Should I get a T150002 or a kicker zx1500.1 Or I can get 2 RF T5002 vs getting 2 kicker zx550.2 Which would you guys get if you were me? They would run 2 12" Fi SSDs with all the upgrades

Memphis 16-XO3 ( i can get it refurbed off ebay for 90 bucks) http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=3434 JBL GTX47 http://imezak.com/gtx47.html or JBL MX1000 http://imezak.com/mx1000.html the Memphis seems to have the best slopes (18db high, 24db low) but the GTX47 looks liek it would have more features. im leaning toward the memphis right now.

Hey guys. I just purchased a American Bass VFL 150.1 with the Gold Chasis. What do you guys think about the amp in General? I am going to be powering my FI 15" BL @ 1 ohm with it..What you guys think that setup will do?? I like the way the amp looks and from all I have read about it it is a powerful dude..

I'm looking to power a tc9 with a dual 1.4 ohm FI Q recone. instead of looking to see how much boom i can get, i'm looking for a little better sound and will be udating with the rest of my system, i'm just starting with the sub and amp. the audison is 900 rms at 1 ohm and the dls is about 1200 rms at 1 ohm. both are about the same price. I've come here because i know the experience seems to be concentrated here. lol. also on the list of keeping the boom up is the md3d and saz-1500d. so some people with experience please give me a little insight. thanks very much i apreciate it.

Hifonics BXi1606D - 1600w RMS x 1 ohm U.S. Amps XT-4000D - 1500w RMS x 1 ohm both are close in price but the us amps is considered entry level and the hifonics isnt not sure what do you guys think? using them on 2 12" RE SEs at 1 ohm heres the data sheet on the hifonics theres nothing really similar for the XT though

I have a few spare 10" Alpine Type S dual 2ohm subs that have been sitting around for a little over a year with no home. I'm planning on using one of them in a friends sealed box (.75) running it at 1ohm using the Zed Minilith. The Alpine is rated at 300rms. The Zed is rated a bit over 600rms at 1ohm. Id this too much for that sub, or should I just wire it to a 4ohm load.

I'm getting ready to help a friend out with adding an aftermarket sub and amp to her 2008 Ford Edge. She is keepint the stock H/U. She bought a Stinger Line Output Converter (SLOCII). It a two channel LOC and I'm installing it into a Zed Minilith. Now the Minilith requires that all four input channels have RCA connected to get full signal (6db less for each RCA that is not plugged in I believe). The Stinger converter has five connectors 2 each for + - and a ground. I'm installing an Alpine Type S 2+2ohm to the Amp. Here is my question... I cannot just plug in the factory harness to the Stinger unit (It has 2 channels and all I need is one). How do I connect this sucker? …

Ok, so i get a call from my friend asking if i could fix his other friends mess up of trying to put in his H/U. I go over hoping he didnt do some of my earlier mistakes, which he did, he cut the factory harness trying to hardwire it...... i gave him 3 options: 1: try to rewire his factory harness which could be a while since its a GM 2: wire the H/U itself skipping the factory harness 3: trace each wire and figure them out, yet again skipping the harness and wiring everything to the back of the H/U We decided 2 would be the easiest solution *98 s10 ext.* and i was wondering if my plan was good and if he was going to lose any basic functions.... I'll wire the ground to a …

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

Im planning on having a 2,000 watt rms amp (hifonics) hooked up in my 95 lexus es300. Im also thinking of a new battery. is optima a better battery than kinetik? or are they two different types of batts? sorry if this is a newbie question...lol.

ive searched for a while with no luck. i have access to a O-scope to set it but i was wondering if ther is anything special i need to know to set it?? any info will help too.

im looking at upgrading my system. im planing on useing 1 bl 12 and was looking at using a hifonics bxi1606d or a bxi2006d. which would be better to power the bl? and what options would i need? or is there another amp around the same price range as the hifonics that would be better to use?

RE does not sell the 12.1 anymore, I am wondering if they can repair a damaged one. I have a friend who has one that needs minor repairs. Anybody know?

Hey guys so heres the deal... got a DLS CA31 amp powering my whole system right now... which consists of a pair of DLS R6As for components and a Sound Splinter Rli-10 sub downfired in about .8 cubes sealed.. this is all in a regular cab truck so i was trying to save on space with an all in one amp when i built my system but the amp has been problematic... in the first month it was in a transistor went out... and now bout 10 months later it started hissing at me.. so i sent it back for repair again and half the board was fried... anyways im contemplating getting a new amp depending on how the DLS does when i get it back.. i would like a 3ch unit but my only problem is my s…

Okay, So here in a few days I am ordering some Mach5 MAW-15's and I was wondering what Amp would be best to push them...... I have a list of some amps that I "THINK" would work good with them. So tell me what u think. Feel free to inform me of any amps that arent on the list that would be good for the MAW's Kenwood KAC-9103 US Amps XT-2000D Kicker ZX1000.1 Crunch PZi 1000.1 Hifonics BXi 1606D Hifonics ZXi 1006 Kenwood KAC-9152D. ~MadroX

Can someone recommend me a good pioneer headunit? I'm trying to keep it on the cheap side, around 100-130 bucks. It will be used in a '95 suburban and i was also going to be running 2 12" L7s (not sure if that matters). I just want it to sound good and go well with my subs.

OK, so if I don't have it completely backwards, I understand that the higher the preout voltage, the lower the gain can/should be set because the amp doesn't have to be as sensitive of the incoming signal - so the amp can put out full power with the lower gain. My question is since the gain isn't set as high, is the amp drawing less current because of it? Or is it drawing the same amount of current as a signal with a lower preout voltage and higher gain setting? Just curious.
