Does anyone have a 2000-2004 Impala with this HU (AVH-3200DVD) in it....If so could u post pics I would like to see how this would look in my Impala before I bought i....Thx!!!

was thinking about getting one in a little while. I dont want to spend too much, but want something reliable. how long would it take to get familiar with one? any suggestions?

and I purchased an Eclipse XA2000 for my midbass/midrange. I'll post up pix and stuff when i get it. Has anyone played around with one of these 2-/multi-channel class Db amps yet? Oh and my batteries cell blew so I went ahead and purchased a optima yellow top while i was at it.

Im switching amps and am intersted in the sundown Sfb-3000d. My question is can I hook up a dual 2ohm(wired down to 1ohm) to each +/- terminal for a total of 2 subs on one Amp? Any help is much appreciated.

I have a rp-2000.1d from skar and want to run it at 2ohm and 1400w.. Do I still need to wire it for a total of 2000w or can I use a 4gauge ofc since I'm only gonna run it at 2ohms and 1400w?

I am still waiting on pioneer's avic f90Bt because they have to do a firmware update like 3 or 4 weeks out anyone else dealing with this. I have been waiting for 2 months now, any input on kenwoods DNX 8120 in how it compares Im getting tired of waiting. Should I go with the Kenwood or stick it out for the pioneer?

I have an old school LP 1502IQ. It has not be modded. I'm getting ready to start putting together something for my wife's car. She wants a good sounding front stage with minimal bass from a sub. She listens to all kinds of music. Is this amp worth sending out to be modded and put on a component set of Focals or similar? Or should I just sell it and get a Sundown amp. If I go with the Sundown amp...could the 100.4 do the front components and also a sub like the SA-8 on pre-sale now? This is going in a Kia Spectra5. The specs show that it has to have a slim mount component set. Does anyone know of any components around the same quality as the Focals that are shall…

So I've been doing some googling on the ms-8 and it looks pretty cool. Have any of you heard it in action before? Worth the $800? Thoughts?

I am capping it a ~$200, so a $220 would be an option but thats at the most. I am mostly considering the HC800, but was wondering if any of the Stinger batteries are better.

does anyone know if this amp can do 0.5 ohm daily?

I just found out my car only puts out 105 amps max on its alternator with only 1 battery....will i be able to power my fi bl 18" sub, lights and air conditioning at the same time?????/The sub will be running 2 omhs -1200RMS

What does everyone think of a denon DCT-1? I know a friend who has one that i might be able to snag cheap!

alright, i got 2 kinetik 1800s. I was originally just going to take out the stock battery and put one under the hood and the other in the back. But i just want to ask a few more knowledgeable people first, should i just leave the stock battery under my hood in the tundra and put both kinetiks in the back? thanks

Hello everyone! Im looking at the cda-9887 and was wondering if this would be a good choice for my setup? My front stage is going to be a 8 inch midbass in each door, and a soundstream FR-60C comp. set with 6.5 inch in kick panels and the tweeters up on the sail panels just above the dash,I want the 8 inch midbass speakers to be bandpass at as low as 60 herts and as high as 400 herts, and then the comp. set to play above 400 herts. I HAVE 2 amps, (ppi 2600) one for the 8 inch speakers and the other for the comp. set. Is the crossover on the CDA-9887 adjustable so …

I have a 4 cylinder honda accord sedan, and was wondering if anyone has done the big 3 on this car or one similar. I attempted to do it, but saw when I looked under my hood I was stumped :\. Pictures and steps would be much appreciated thanks

Lookin to pick up a new 4 channel to run mid and tweet in an active 3way. Anybody heard these ssa A/B demon amps? There is no info anywhere on them! They look awesome, fit the bill power wise and cheap as hell! Are they worth trying?

k, i got a question, im getting ready to order my amp(s) and im considering getting 2 bxi 1608d, which would give 1100w RMS at 2 ohms http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12211_...+BXi+1608D.html i have the dual1 on the BLs, i was told i could only wire each at .5 or 2 ohms, or join them together and get 1 or 4 ohms? so i decided to take the "Easier" way and choose 2 amps, 1 per sub i am confused as to which would be the correct way f wiring these so the correct way to wire this would be option 2 since its a 2ohm load, but it says the woofer is 4ohms(crutchfield) but then the rockford has the 2ohm woofer at 1 ohm anf both diagrams are the same? so wat ohms would a dual1 be…

Any opinions/experience with Eclipse's XA series amplifiers??? http://www.eclipse-web.com/amp/xa1000.html

hi, i have 200 bucks to buy an amp to use to power my re audio xxx comps that i am finally installing. and i am wondering should i get a refurb sax100.2 from db-r and go passive or a new eclipse audio xa4000 and try to do active with them and i have an alpine 9887 for the processing. so it is more like what would you do type thread.

bought it off sonicelectronix.com the website not the ebay store and everything works fine, the only thing i'm having an issue with is the fact that a week ago the dvd player showed video while the car was in park and now with the parking brake applied and the emergency brake, it still says "audio only" i'm thinkin theres a loose connection somewhere, worst case scenario i hope it's not the head unit itself. any advice?

I was originally thinking of going with the alpine 9886 unit, but are there any other notable HU that stand with this unit. Ive looked at pioneers, dont really like their single knob and form, Ive looked at Eclipses, and I dont really like the display, But I havnt looked at Kenwoods, im sort of thinking they lack in quality but my buddy has a touch screen and loves it, so he recommended get a Kenwood. Im looking for a single din, roughly $300 which will have ipod control, and nice 4v pres.

So I've been looking at a bunch of nav head units, and these two seem like the best out there. I haven't had a chance to use either as I can't find any local shops that have either in stock. What is the general consensus on these two? Is there a clear cut winner? I've heard that the pioneer's have a high failure rate, and they often times freeze up, is that true? They have a gorgeous UI, but if it doesn't work I guess it's not that great. My other concerns with the pioneer are the low RMS power output, no name GPS, and only a single USB input. Would I need an amp with the pioneer or is 14 watts RMS enough for components and mid basses (no subs yet)? Is the GPS comparable …

i was looking for some good batts to match up with a audiopipe 3000 and a 200 amp alt. i was checkin out the kinetiks on ebay they seem to be good for the price. im not to sure about some other brands out there really just kinetik and xs power is all i know of . i am on a budget as i only make min wage. 200-280 is all i want to spend on batteries
