I bought a Sundown 100.4 refurb from DB-r a while back while it was on sale. When i got around to installing it, it was blowing fuses on the distro as soon as you hooked it up. So I sent it out to DB-r Tuesday before thanksgiving and I recieved the amp back TODAY (1 week and 1 day later). I am completely amazed with it being the week of Thanksgiving I received the amp back so quickly. That includes shipping time BOTH ways. The whole time it was out DB-r kept me updated with emails. I just wanted to give credit to DB-r for the excellent work they did. :bigclap:

I've been having problems with my stock battery and I want to replace it. So I want something good to replace it. I just measured and I have a max 12" long x 7.5" wide. I'm just a little unsure what to go with. My budget is around $200 but I don't mind spending a little more if need be. This is my first battery purchase so I'm not sure what the best place to order from either. I was thinking a Kinetik 1800 but I'm not sure, I just don't want to make the wrong decision and regret it. Appreciate any help.

I have a kenwood unit now that I like because of the iPhone interface and the front panel USB. Problem is that it only has 2.5 volt pre-outs. Dont really care of brand as long as it is name brand and reliable. Cd's are a no go as the vibration from the bass just ejects them now. So I'm looking for something that has USB and preferably iPhone compatible and has 4 volt pre outs. Open to all options and wanna stay around $250-$350ish range. Any help appreciated

I think while my truck is in rebuild mode I will go ahead and upgrade or change to a newer unit. I love the alpine but want to look at something different. Looking at the deh-80prs or the avh-P8400bh. Sq wise the 80 looks like the choice but im sure I would be happy with either. Any other good dd units out there? This is what I have now and will be letting go cheap to anyone interested http://www.crutchfield.com/S-lCerWQCN13n/p_500IVAW200/Alpine-IVA-W200.html#details-tab I want good control of eq and options for hpf and lpf. Any other opinions? I have a alpine 600 watt 4 channel that will cover the mids and highs unless I pick up an additional small 2 channel just for t…

posted this else where but, looking for as much in put as possible Well ladies, its time to add some more batteries. I'm plan on going from 1 AT3000.1, to two Current electrical is a 230 amp alt, stinger SPP1200 under the hood, and an HC2000 in the trunk with 4 runs of 0ga Full tilt daily I might see 14v flat as long as I keep it revved lol. Lowest I saw it drop while metering, was 13.5 but I let of the gas... But it seemed to stay at 13.8 or higher after a long burp staying revved. So I have options for batteries mainly, just adding a second to the rear. I'm considering a D3100 since its about the biggest I can get (max cubic inches is 800 per batt in usaci) and is extr…

Ok so I have done the Big 3. Have a jeep grand cherokee. Found out the alt stock is 110amps. I am running a 100.4 amp and an alpine mrd1005d. Looking to get a deep cycle battery up front and a bigger alt. Battery i have up there now is 11 long and 7.5 wide. I looked at the battery basket and measured 13 long. I was thinking a powermaster d3100 up front. Just am trying to brainstorm some ideas and figure out a few different product choices. Also the Sea tweeters sound very nice. Barely need any power to get loud which really surprised me. Almost got those Excel mids dialed in and the midrange clarity is def worth it.

I am going to actually use a dimm for once....easy enough looks like.....but the mini has a few more controls than most amps I have run.... any pointers on what to set the amp at? test tone recomendation or is 50 good enough?

It's been a while since I have posted on here...busy busy busy. Anyways, I'm not a new kid on the block when it comes to car audio...I was an installer for over 6 years and play with it as much as I can now. I am requesting some insight from somebody with good experience in chasing down engine noise, because I'm at whits end!! Setup: 2004 Audi S4 Factory deck, using the common ground preout on it (hard wired into rca's) Alpine PXE-H650 processor 3 Sony XM2252HX amps (1 front, 1 rear, 1 sub) Image Dynamics CX62 components front/rear 2 Polk DB12 (circa 1999, running free air in rear deck) SO, I think I have isolated it down to a bad capacitor in the power supply on the fact…

I just came across this company- Titanium Power They manufacturer amps that seem pretty intense but nobody sells them... Odd isn't it... Anyways, i'm trying to find out if i ever found a company that sells them... if they are any good... I ask because i like the TM8800.1D 8,800w @ 1ohm.

i want to meter my car but everyone i hear about with a meter shits out on me when its time to meet up.... so i wanna buy an epic 160 to meter only... nothing else... has anyone used these? how accurate are they to a term lab? can i use this meter to learn my sweet spot ?

I just recently found out that my T400-4 has some major issues with crosstalk. I talked with a local guy advertising on CL for amp repair and $25 for testing and flat $125 for repair has me wondering if it would be cost effective to fix it vs selling it cheap to someone that wants to mess with it and getting new amp(s) to properly power to my mids. The ad in question is http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/eld/4346888840.htmlI am trying to run a set of ID X65 and XS28 in a 2-way active setup. I have been eyeing the arc foose amps and the zapco st-x and st-d lines if I were to change what I was running. My goals are to utilize my current drivers in the stock door locations t…

so... i am going to install my sub and amp soon and im tryin to find some 1/0 ga OFC wire for a good price. i found this on ebay... its 50ft of 1/0 OFC for $49.25 shipped?!?! i dont think there is any way that anyone can get 1/0 OFC for less than $1/ft shipped. anyone tried this stuff? also, i was looking at the picture of the stuf. and if that is the actual product, that shit is like 80% jacket. so more like 8ga...or sumthin. ya kno? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-1-0-GAUGE-50-FEET-POWER-CABLE-WIRE-RED-OFC-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255defb30bQQitemZ160489779979QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo ^if this is junk (which it probly is..)... then the stuff below will be my next q…

Hi guys, I'm transfering most of my gear from my old car to my new one. I had a 03 tdi with an Alpine HU ida-x305s with imprint module and now got an 12 tdi. I like the oem radio for all its features: hands free, sirius/xm, the iphone/ipod connection. I got myself an Audison Bit Ten D to tune in all my gear and got into an argument with a friend of mine about keeping the oem head unit. He says that the oem head unit is garbage and it doesnt matter how good a sound precessor is, if I feed it garbage in with the oem HU, it will give me garbage out to my speakers. I would like to have your opinions on this subject. Thanks.

Alright Everyone Its Been A While Since Ive Posted On Here. Im Saving Up For A Sundown Audio Amp And Basically What I Wanted To Know Is Has Anyone Ordered A Refurbished SAZ3000D Amp From db-r ? I know there reliable but can i trust refurbished stuff ? What Is It That You Do To a broken amp when you get it back? New Everything ? Thanks.

this is what i want to do. if someone could draw up a nice detailed wiring diagram to help me better understand it, id really appreciate it ok first off, please dont hate, you guys know how i do with the mids/highs, im just looking for someone to help, if you dont want to help me, please dont post and get my thread locked or start arguments. ok, so, in the mini cooper, ill have a total of 3 amps. they're on order so theyll be here soon i have the 18" mt, 16 6.5s in the front cabin, and 16 tweets in the front cabin. in the back (behind the wall in the cargo area) i will have 2 sets of components (or 4 coax, whatever i decide on) for shows or whatever. the front 16 mids w…

just a quick question, is it possible for a amp to be "too cold"?

I didn't know what category would fit sorry if this is in the wrong section. This guy on ebay is selling a skar audio sk 1500.1 for $61.00 shipped. Idk if its a scam or not, he claims he needs money for college. Should I jump on the deal? lol. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SKAR-Audio-SK-1500-1-Class-D-1680W-1-Ohm-Mono-Block-Amplifier-BRAND-NEW-/300674164552?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item460193a748

Well I just got back from picking up this earthquake amp. In a little rough shape but it is a ph1000w 2 channel. Any input on this?

ok, so i just upgraded my stock head unit to a double din non touch screen thing, JVC something. its alright. i kinda miss my other.... i miss my steering wheel controls, and i hate how my antenna goes up when the thing is on, not just when the radios on. and it sucks that my ipod would be one of the 2 it supports that you cant control from the ipod. only the head unit... but besides all that so, a few problems i might get professionally fixed tomorrow unless its a simple fix. before, i had my suboofer amp hooked up to the back speakers. i splaced into that. i know stupid, i got bitched out on another forum,which is why i have the new deck. so now, ts almost all hooked u…

Hey I'm trying to build a system for my 2000 nissan pathfinder...and unfortunately it only has a 90 amp alt, and I don't want to buy a H.O. alt, so how much power can I safely run? I was planning on getting an Arc Audio 1500v1 XXK, which I didn't realize is a class A/B monoblock amp that puts out 1000 watts RMS...so i'm guessing it's not as efficient as a class D of the same power... soo i could do the big 3 upgrade...but is a 1000 watt class A/B monoblock not a good idea for a 90 amp stock alt? thanks for the help

Does anyone have in experience with the kenwood dnx9990 or the pioneer avic-z150? I'm seriously thinking about going over my budget and save up for one of these..if there is anything better please post up a link

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13356_...VIC-F700BT.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9027_E...0+-+AVN52D.html at first i was planning on getting the pioneer, then i realized the 2v preouts on the pioneer vs. the 5v preouts on the eclipse. security code on eclipse vs. no security code on pioneer. but are there any known mechanical problems with the eclipse since it is a motorized faceplate and the pioneer isnt? my friend has the 6620 and his cd always gets stuck.

Just curious if anyone knows of a double din touchscreen hu that could keep up with something such as the 80prs audio control wise. I like to use cds and usbdrives, so extra points for those additionally.
