Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

My friend has a audiobaun htc1300 amp. He will sell me for 20 bucks. Only thing the inputs are ripped out. So I was going to get it refurbished. Good idea bad?

just wondering if there is a way i could tell the difference between the saz 1500d with the new heatsink design and the old. thx-phil

Saw this head unit for pretty decent price...plus it comes with the ipod cord(ive got an ipod) looked nice is this a nice budget hu? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=17793

So something came up and I have to wait a week or so to put in my dc power 270xp... I'm going to be running a saz-3500d @ 1.33ohms and sax-125.2. I also have 3 optima yellowtops (i'll get some xs or kinetiks later).. Could I get everything setup and run it off my stock alt? I think it's either 105 or 130amps..I obviously wouldn't abuse it and monitor my voltage..It would only be for about 3 or 4 days.. Thanks

Okay I just put it in my new 5000 and I have two amps... Sundown SAE-1000D and SAX-100.4. Well I have two sets of RCA cables going to the 100.4, one set going from the front preouts on the 5000 to channels 1 and 2, and the other set is going from the rear preouts on the 5000 to channels 3 and 4. For some reason I'm not getting any music out of the rears. I can hear a very faint "tv snow-screen" type of sound coming out when I have my ear up to one of the speakers, but that's it. Anyone know what's going on?

I'm look at this amp to buy and I'm a bit skeptical because it's pretty cheap (relatively). I have done a search on here and seen some opinions but there are few and contradicting and most are from the beginning of the year so I'm hoping for some other opinions from people who have had one for a while. I'd be planning to push 2 12" Qs. Also perhaps some other recommendations of amps capable of doing 2kw at 1 ohm.

I've had about 3 of them and l loved each one the same, I've had alot of big amps and this lil puppy is the only one that starts to smoke the coils on my DDs within mins of serious play, not enough to blow my 9515s but if you ever need a small amp that puts out a REAL 1500-1800 watts D300hc is the only way to go for 250-300 bucks the only down side is that it does NOT have a subsonic filter and me and other guys like me that loves the sound of a ported enclosure , that comes in handy.. just bought me another one for 80 bucks (blown)

I have a Sundown Audio SAE-1200 amp running 2 SA15s. I'm having a problem getting sound out of my subwoofers. At first I had a Pioneer 4100 DVD when this first started happening. The Subs would cut in and out, then finally stayed off but the amp stayed on. So i had my local shop check the voltage and they said no power was going through my rca's. So I had a different cd player and installed it. After I installed it everything was working fine again. Then today the subs started going in and out. Right before the subs went off, it sounded like the subs were crackling but still had sound going through them. So i turned down the radio and they stopped working after i tried tu…

I have one 15" fi bl on a t1000bd. actual rms is 1481. I have major dimming in my denali. I am going to put another cell in back. Where can I buy an hc1200?? I live in milwaukee wisconsin. Does anyone sell them or do I have to get it online. Otherwise what is another good battery I can buy from somewhere to put in back??? Thanks

I have a Hifonics Brutus 1200 watt mono and a 15" FI BL sub. Any advise on how to get the loudest but still the best quality out of it? it's Level 9v - 0.2v , Phase 0 - 180 , Bass EQ (keeping it down) , Sub Sonic 15 - 35 Hz , Low Pass 35 - 250 Hz.

If I run 0 guage fron front batt to rear batt, then connect two amps to rear batt whats the best way....1} run single power wire to distro block fron rear batt 2} run an individual wire from each amp to the batt? Second part whats the best for grounding rear batt? run a ground back to front batt or ground to chassis or both? Also same question on grounding my amps ,to the rear batt or on the frame?

OK!!! I have a bxi 2008 (soon to be 3000d sundown) pushing 2 FI 12 BL in a fisher custom box HO alternator is on the way Big 3 been done (in 0Ga.) I'm looking for a couple of good batteries how good are these??? http://www.remybattery.com/Products/Deka-I...9A31__9A31.aspx

I had one question and maybe a manufacturer can answer this, why is it that eq's have boost circuits instead of just reducing the overpowering frequencies? If your boost the frequency voltage, doesn't that create an undesireable risk of clipping in the system?

What should I set the phase to on my mono amp if my 4ch. has no phase adj.

im running 2 saz 4500's to 2 fi btl's and i was wondering should i strap them or dont? what is the purpose of strapping?

Has someone out there tested the American Bass vfl-120.1 maybe some 14 an 16v numbers? Thanks for any help.

hey guys again with some noob questions Tomorrow i am going to start my build be for i get far into it on my old setup i had an extra battery i had the negative on the second battery connected to my main battery since there both in the trunk so my question is was that wrong? should i have the additional battery's grounded to the frame? if i am right about my mistake i am thinking of grounding my additional battery's to the frame. then power from main battery to second then third battery and a fuse from battery 3 to amp? that correct?

Do you guys think this amp is good or its a piece of shit Audiopipe AP2004 2000W 4/2 Ch. Bridgeable MOSFET Amplifier I am going to be pushing a 18" Fi BL dual 2 ohm none of the options included. Thanks Guys

Hey guys, I'm new here but been messing around with audio in my cars on an amateur level for quite a while. I recently decided to do an amp/sub install on my newly acquired 2006 Infiniti M45. It has a factory 14 speaker BOSE system. As far as the audio upgrades I've added is as follows. -Sundown Audio SCV3000d amp -1 Sundown Audio X12 @ 1ohm in ported box to spec -0 gauge wiring ran to trunk to additional audio battery and capacitor -6 gauge wiring from amp to sub -LOC taped into the stock Bose sub inputs Problem is that the sub doesn't sound nearly as loud as it should although the sound it does produce is very clear. I went from 2 SA…

So I finally got around to openning up the Lightning Audio S1.1000D I had running a couple of AA Assissins and two (that I noticed) of the transisters labeled IRF6215 have gone to amp heaven... I don't see any other problems, is it worth trying to replace the fried parts or will I run into more problems as I progress?

Hy, (excuse my bad english) what do you know about Hollywood Energetic(link), it is a replacement for Stinger SPV, I also heard Hollywood is a mix of Stinger and Kinetik, but I don`t really know if this is true... So, 1. Hollywood SPV 70 vs Power Cell 2050 (300 vs 330 euro); Hollywood: 70 Ah Nom. Capacity, Cold Cranking 900 A, Pulse Cranking 1700A, Short Circuit 3500 A Power Cell: 56Ah, 2050 Peak, 3500 A (SC) 2. Hollywood SPV 100 vs Power Cell 3000 (400 vs 390 euro) Hollywood: 100 Ah Nom.Capacity, Cold Cranking 1200A, Pulse Cranking 2250A, Short Circuit 4500 A Power Cell: 95Ah, 3000 Peak, 4400 A (SC) offtopic: 80Ah stock alt,BIG3 coming soon with: us amps xt4000.1(120A…

I am getting a set of Focal 165KRX2 components and I need am amp to power them. I am looking at the Mosconi ONE 120.2, AS 100.2, the TREO SSX100.2 or the JL audio 300/2v2. Which amp do you think would work the best for these components? Any help is greatly appreciated.

when my car is on and my alternator charges the battery to whatever volts, do the max amp or watts have an effect on performance. or do these numbers only apply to when you play the stereo with the engine off? im thinking of getting more audio equipment and want to keep light dimming to a bare minimum. right now on jsut a 1200 watt amp for my sub and the stock JBL amp i only get .1-.2v voltage drops. i dont plan to upgrade the stock 80amp alternator anytime soon but am thinking of getting an XS or Kinetik under the hood since my interstate keeps losing its charge after about every 6 months give or take. also i have the big three done

Hi everyone got a quick question.which year did this cadence z7000 amp come out at. I remember buying one of these 3 years ago off ebay and end up getting my car broken into and lost the amp but I could never figure out which year they made this amp in the picture.

alright, say i have the gains set at 1/2 on the amp. now, i plug in the knob, and turn the knob to MIN (amp gains still at 1/2) theres almost no bass. when i turn it to MAX, is it the same as my amp playing at full tilt with the gains at 1/2 if i didnt have the knob in? did i make sense? its kinda hard to explain what im trying to say...
