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

I'm looking for adapters that are 1/0 and have a pin on the end to make it easier to plug the wire into the amps, dis. blocks, etc. I cant find theese things anywhere, can someone help me find some? Thanks

simple question... if i remove the cover on my amp so the guts are showing under the plexiglass, and mount a pair of fans similar to this: http://74.175.101.66/dealer/itemdesc.asp?C...amp;eq=&Tp= one per side pushing/pulling to create good cross ventilation, do you think it would be adequate? I think that i am going to hang onto my mtx a little longer since for the price i can't really beat it, and since i don't really like the looks i wanted to try exposing the board. how dramatically will this affect the amps cooling capabilities?

I've got a crescendo 1000c4 that can run either 500w x2 bridged at 4 ohms 250w x2 bridged at 8 ohms how can i tell if its wired at 4 or 8 ohms ? and if it was at 4 ohms would an s4 sub work ? or only d4

Okay, this is the deal; my current 3SIXTY.2 broke (it's the second one which has broken). The red light keeps blinking and according to Rockford Fosgate it means the Bluetooth chip on the 3SIXTY.2 is broken. I also contacted Rockford Fosgate Europe, they can repair it, but it will cost me 200 Euro's!!! That's insane! Anyways, I am thinking about ditching the Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY.2 and go for a different brand. The only options I have found so far are: - JBL MS-8 (still not in production, wait will be to long) - Audison Bit-1 (still not in production, wait will be to long) - Macrom EXT.A1DSP (expensive, looks like a redone PPI DCX 730) - PPI DCX 730 (hard to get, no su…

Okay, so I was wondering if anyone had any input on this amplifier. I am basically asking if it was worth what I gave for it. I gave a good friend of mine $200 and a SAX-1200 for this amp. It slammed his Z18, and it looks like it's solid. Anyone had any problems or anything with this amp? Thanks

Where can I buy bulk hardware. Wire connecters fuses etc

Hi all, Am currently waiting for my FI Q15" and a Sundown 1000SAE to be delivered so that I can start my install. I drive a 2008 Hyundai Elentra and need some help in figuring out the best recommended wire runs both for the amp as well as my alternator. What do I need to replace or add? I want to make sure that I don't die sitting at a stop light... lol...

Just ordered my ssa xcon 15 and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations as far as buying a pre built box or building my own??

I am going to run 2 Fully Loaded Btl 18" s dual 1ohm coils and I was wondering if anyone had some ideas for an amp or amps to run. electrical is upgraded and I was wanting to atleast give them a true 4k RMS. Also I am wanting to stay under $800. Thanks, Brock

ive been looking at these and wondering if anyone is running them. if so what is your experience with them? i looked up some specs. they are 100 ah and 1150 cca. only cost $239

optima redtop battery terminal posts what are the dimensions. mostly just need diameter.

I have stock s10 electrical and have 2 new alpine mrp-m500's. I have went through 2 alternators and wonder what is happening. Is 1000 watts too much for a stock electrical system. Thanks in advance!!!

I'm looking for a good HU that ranges from $100-200 and plays music via bluetooth with excellent sound. I have a 15" Rockford Fosgate T1 sub and a RF 300W 2 CH T3002 amp. I still need to replace both my front and back speakers. I love bass so I'm looking for a radio that has no problem with a lot of it.

hello all i know i don't post much but i need some help, i have a 94 supra and i think it's time to upgrade the audio system. first let me say space is limited, i want to use a 5 channel amp because that's all it seem like i have room for. i will be using polk component speakers zx350.4 and they are 6 1/2, i also need some input on some bass speakers i don't want anything bigger than 10" i have a box to go in the stock location. any info will be appreciated. thanks.....

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? …

I want to buy and install an amplifier for a new sound system for a car. I'd like the amplifier to not clip, and I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of dynamics for extra loudness when I want it. In the world of music production we regularly obtain these goals with an effect called a brickwall limiter. It's basically a special type of compressor that guarantees that the sound never passes a certain threshold. Do they make car audio amplifiers with brickwall limiters (or at least compressors) inside them?

hi, i am looking for a budget 4 channel amp that can do atleast 200rms at @ 2 ohm for a freind and he doesn't want to spend more then 350 on the amp. and i was looking at a Soundstream TRA960.4 for him and i am wondering if anybody has any experiace with them. and another option is a cadence TXA-6004 forgot to mention it will be running a active gront stage with it and the processor is alpine 9887

when running multiple amps what is the best way to run (1) 0ga and (2) 4ga with only one run of 0ga from the battery under the hood. i am trying to avoid doing multiple runs (knu is 1.40 to 3.40 per ft.) or avoid using one of those cheap octagon looking blocks that has 6 different apps. i want to use anl fuses. 300 and (2) 100's. anyone run into this same problem and found something that worked better?

Got a question about the electrical of a 2000 Toyota Avalon. I don't have a system in there (still debating about that), so currently its a completely stock 2000 Avalon. I am not having any "electrical" problems but the starting is a little bit slower then I'd like and with winter coming up shortly I don't wanna be stuck with a slow starting car. What happens is that the car will take a bit to start up when its "cold", but if its only been off for a bit, it takes a bit longer to start-up. The interior lights on the dash will dim when i have the brights on and like..put windows up for example. Is this a sign of bad electrical? What are some options that I can do to speed …
