Anyone know where I can find the stock amp? Its the BOSE

So after hooking things up i found that i was short of speaker cable by five feet. I ran down to Mickey Shorr to see what they had. They gave me about 12 feet of 8 gauge power wire for five bucks. so it's a pretty simple question actually, Is there any difference in speaker cable and power wire? can i use power wire as speaker wire? thanks.

anyone knows the max dimensions of a battery that can fit in stock location? thanks. or anyone know if the yellowtop d35 fits into stock location without a problem? and is the yellowtop + big3 enough for 2200 watts?

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

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

Hi Everyone I Am Currently Running My FI 15'' BTL In My Room Running On A Home Audio Plate Amp Thats Pushing Around 250 Watts. I Wanted To Put Lighting In The Box So Whenever The Bass Hit The Light Went With It. However I Dont Know How To Wire Any Lights Seeing How Most Lights Are 12 Volt. Does Anyone Know How I Wire Them ? The Plate Amp Is Plugged Into The Wall Which Is 120 Volts. Thank You ~ Kent ~ P.S. Here Are Some Pics Of The Sub, Plate Amp And Light Thanx

ok so i have a CDA-9887 Maybe its because i'm not using it to its full potential, maybe i'm just picky but man i am starting to really dislike this radio. Seems like it has a chitty tuner. Because after 2 months now i've finally managed to procure an antenna adapter for my car. And i can't get good reception on some local channels and there are some channels that were super strong i can't catch at all. Now i'm wishing i'd stuck with pioneer 880PRS like i originally wanted. Anyone know if this is normal? i don't have the multEQ tuner either so maybe if i had that i'd like my system more. Also the 9887 is supposed to have 4.0V outputs, but i find this hard to believe…

Okay, so my problem is that my brothers HU only has one RCA output that is currently running to the amp he had on his subs, well now we are hooking up another 4-channel amp for his 4 6.5's he has in his car now. So i need another 2 RCA outputs somewhere to go to the 4-channel amp. *Can I just get 2 RCA line output converter's and tap one into one of the 6.5's in the rear and one of the 6.5's in the front?? He doesnt want to upgrade his HU right now. Any input is always appreciated. Thanks

Basically i can tarde my Crunch GP3000D PLUS $400 cash for a Stetsom 7KD in almost perfect condition. Only problem is a slightly bend mounting tab. Right now I have a DVC 2 ohm 12" BTL to the GP3000D and want a nice, clean efficient amp. Next summer I plan to do a wall in my accord with 2 1ohm 18" BTLs to maybe this 7kd if the trade goes well. So for the time being, I will run the BTL off of the 7kd at 4ohms and still be running around 2500 rms. What do you all think about this trade one my end?

May I hook to a 4 channel amp 2 4ohm and 2 2ohm speakers... Each to a separate channel

I hooked my amplifier after having it sit in my room for a couple months up to my car today and the protection light came on for a split second, then the green light came on after 15 secs or so of no light at all. It was hella wierd. I tryed it again, and now the red light blinks for a split second but then no lights at all. I can hear the amp turn on, but it has no light or power. I opened it up and didnt see any physical problems with the board (blown fuses, smell, etc...) Any ideas what it might be? Im positive it has nothing to do with RCA's or speaker wire. I know for a fact it is something to do with the Amplifier. Its a Power Acoustik 1.4000D Please no smart comm…

I'm thinking about going all out in my car. I'm already building a new box or two for my Fi BL15. I'm thinking 8"s in the front doors maybe some HLCD. Rear fill will more than likely be something modest. Now here is the kicker, I want to keep the factory radio. The car is a 2005 Chrysler 300c with the Boston Acoustics 8ch system. I was looking at the JL Clean Sweep, Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty, and I recently came across the JBL MS-8. The JBL website it awesome compared to the other two, but it appears the JBL is geared more for the person not wanting to add amps or aftermarket speakers. Has anyone used any of these products or something similar? There are no real sh…

any on here have any experiance with a phase linear uv8? i have someone local that wants to sell one for 150 and i figure that is a pretty good deal unless they are junk any one had one or heard anything with one

I did not know where to put this but since it concerns using head units, I thought this would be the best fit section. So first of all some background info.... I have a 1999 Volvo S70 (dont hate) and currently I have a alpine cda-9886 headunit. My car is a double-din so i have the headunit in the bottom slot and a pocket in the top slot. I also have 15% tint all the way around, which I know isn't the darkest but its pretty dark at night, especially backing up....however, i was thinking about redoing the tint and getting 5% all around and 50% on the windshield so I know that this will be even harder to see at night. before i was deciding whether or not to go darker but my …

Hello, I currently have an odyssey pc 1200 battery to put under the hood of my car and was going to get 2 odyssey pc 2150's to put in the back for the two sundown 1500's. Will my factory alt (130 amps) be ok to power the batteries? Do I need to get an HO alt to go along with the batteries? Thanks for the help...

I have a pair of Alpine Type-R's dual 4 ohm version. I currently have them parallel to a 2 ohm load at the amp. I fear as though my amp sucks (i know this for a fact its a Volfenhag). My question to the amp gurus is what amp i should use for the pair. I could always parallel the remaining wires to a 1 ohm load to a mono block. Wondering what kind of amp would be the best. Power Handling * Power Range: 200 - 500 Watts * RMS Power Handling: 500 Watts * Peak Power Handling: 1500 Watts Dimensions * Mounting Depth: 195 mm (7.7'') * Mounting Diameter: 275 mm (10.9'') * Displacement: 0.071 cu. ft (Front Mount) * Added Volume: 0.085 cu. ft.

Would running 500 watts rms or lower be to much on 8 gauge wiring?

i bought http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLE12BL knu 12 gauge and my question is do I split the wire into two or do I wrap them together. Or is one tube for positive and the other negative? so like instead of two wires running to my amp I will have one then at the amp I will split it into two by separating the 2 chambers?

Hi SSA Members, Im looking to do a single battery in the trunk of my 1997 chevy cavalier, i will be running a single aq3500 with a single 12" Fi Audio BTL. now i already have a high output alternator that does 200 amps max and 90-100 at idle. and i have a battery up front (yellow top) that will go away so i conform to the rules of DB drag of a single 650 cu inch battery. now all i need is the battery. The only one ive seen so far that i think meets the rule is the Kinetic HC2000. But im not an electrical mastermind and quite frankly i have no idea how to get a good electrical system going. so i need a battery, and maybe some hints as to how to do the single battery in …

Can anyone tell me anything about this amp? http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=19074905 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=19075139

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

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?

I have a 1998 gmc jimmy. I have 2 sundown sa15's in the back with an mtx thunder 81001. Gets very loud only problem is when i turn it up to loud the battery dies. So i'm wondering what kind of battery i should get. Right now i'm looking at an optima yellow top but i'm always open to suggestions in the same price range. I do have the big 3 done, and the alternator is stock but i have no idea how big it is. Any help would be nice because this is a very annoying problem. Thanks!

I have an 02 Escort with the stock Alt. and Big 3 in 1/0 gauge. I'm getting an Fi SSD 15" D2 and a US Amps XT1600.2 very soon. First off is this a good match? I have been doing research for months on both items and am pretty set on booth (for price, performance and appearance). I also have an Alpine 3553 and 3527 which together only really produce around 200-240WRMS so add that to the XT and I'll probably see between 7-900wrms. Does that seem like to much for mostly stock electrical? Should I add a second batt.? I really don't want to have to.

I just got my sundown 1200D and tomorrow my icon D2 from johnecon should be here. Any suggestions for subsonic and crossover settings?
