Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

I've had this head unit for nearly three years now and it still works great. I am now looking into putting together a 2-way active setup in a regular cab ford ranger and was wondering if this will be able to run active. I'm new to active setups and I am not sure what to look for in a headunit and would like to keep my 9830 if possible because I am low on cash. Here is a list of the specs: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9eC4Vpu3XuP/A...px?i=500CDA9830

hello, is it possible to blow an amp with a volt. drop from 17.9-13.sumthing?? a friend of mine has a mojo 4k and he only did three burps with it and that was his volt drop is it possible to blow it like that??

Currently on my HU there are a lot of options for bass and sub settings. I currently have the bass setting to zero and the sub settings at -20 (lowest it can go) and on my amp I have set my gain using a DMM and reading the "how to set your amp gain" post. Now I was just curious if by having the subwoofer to -20, and having my eq for anything below 50hz set to zero or lower (on my hu) is hurting the performance at all. Currently, the gain on the woofer is about 70% of the way up and its not clipping. Do I set the sub (lets just say) at 0 and same with the built in eq for anything below 50hz? Will this improve anything? And yes I would re set the gain on my amp. EDIT: I for…

Is it a good amp? Pros? Cons?

What gauge size are the power supply connectors for the sax-1200d? thanks

i have a lanzar opti 2000d and i think its one of the best bang for your buck! i have used it in all ways 4 ohm 2 ohm i have had it down to .65 ohms for two years never!!! shut down even in the summer with massive audio subwoofers also very good subwoofers has anyone used lanzar opti amps

i have a couple of batts layin around my house, and i cant tell if they are good or not. THe one reads 9.4 volts, so i hooked it up to the charger, and 5 hours later it stil isnt charged. the other one read something like 4 volts and after 5 min. on the charger it says it is almost full. Are the batts no good, or not. (car bats)

what are some of the best amps i can push 2 15" juggernauts with alot of wattage for a good price?

MB Quart DSC 1500.1 Was thinking about picking one up but there made by Maxxsonics so i am up in the air about it. If any one has any exp. with it or know sum one who has one, let me know what kind of real power it pushes?

Does anybody know anything about the Soundstorm 2f2200 Force amp?

Has anyone ever ran a Diamond Audio D61500.1 Amplifier or know anyone that has. How does this amp rank in power bad, good , or above avg. What amp or amps would you compare this amp to ? Thanks for any information....

Is there any advantage to wiring your sub(s) on different ohms?

does anyone know if the upgraded Scion tC headunit a 4v or 2v headunit?

I have 2 BTL 12's fully loaded on a 4ooohd Ma audio amp, im currently running 2 dry cell batteries... yellow top optima and blue top optima..... Is there any way to get more power out of this system?? I have a friend who works at auto advance and he said i could get to blue top's and get a tray so i could hook both of them up to run 24 volts.....

Looking for a good amplifier for 2 18'' ssd sub a good one but affordable too any suggestion of model?

I have no way of knowing (atleast that i know of) to let me know when my HU starts sending out a distorted signal and i dont trust me ears that much. So i was just wondering if anybody has personal experience with this head unit and at what volume it starts to distort. The previous owner told me not to turn it up past 24/35, but i have also heard that some alpine HU's aswell as other high quality HU's will be able to go up to full volume without distortion. Im starting my new build and want to re-do all the gains on my amps so this would take some guess work out of it. Thanks.

I am in need of the wiring diagram for the inputs of the JBL amps for a 2012 Toyota FJ. I know the voltage should be well below 6volts and want to convert them to a rca plug to install and after market system while still using all the factory headunti features. This is for a friend and I do not have the FJ handy to look at things. I am preplanning and any help would be awesome!

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

Hello, i have 2 SSA ICON 12's powered by two Phoenix gold ryvals 1000watts each. each sub with their own amp. so i keep blowing the fuse and my fuse holder is now melted. so it got me thinking about taking out the inline fuse completely. good or bad?

Anybody have any experience with these VMAX Charge Tanks - Audio ? Local audio shop said they have been approached to carry the line.

Would lets just say 1000 watts on 2 ohms be the same electrical strain as 1000 watts on 1 ohm?

could you use 6 volt batteries in car audio? I know if you wire two in series it would make 12 volts, but then how can you get it to co exist with your 12 volt startying battery? 6 volt batteries have alot better reserve capacity

My HU has Front and Rear RCA outputs. If running front stage only, should I combine the front and rear outputs going to my external amp with a Y-adapter or should I just use the front RCA's alone?
