Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

I've been considering getting a new sub amp, mainly looking to switch to class D for the increased efficiency. I'm currently running a Rubicon 702 on my sub and a 100w amp on my highs, and my lights dim at night when driven hard. My final system will consist of about double that much power, so I'm looking to switch my sub amp to something more efficient since I don't want to do any electrical upgrades other than upgrade the battery. I'm looking for something that'll do ~700-800w into 4ohm, 1200w+ into 2ohm, and being 1ohm stable would be nice just to keep my sub options open in the future. Had my eye on a RF T10001bd since I've seen some pretty insanely high efficiency…

HOLY chit BALLS I can't wait till my amps get here... I'm just f-in happy, I got lots of amplifiers on the way!!! WOOOOOOTTTTT....can't wait! -Kicker KX 450.2 (225rms x 2 @2ohms for XXX mids) -Kicker KX 200.2 (~30-40 rms x 2 @6ohms for Vifa Tweets) - TWO Powerbass XA3000d's ;) (One daily, two for comps ) -One 15" RE MT anticipation sucks... NG

Hey I was wondering if there were any crossovers/proccesors that are like the RF symmetry EPX^2, except cheaper lol I'm talking about something that has a face where you can change anything with a touch of a button, anything else out there? Thanks Blake

crossfire cx23L us amps us-x3 kenwood kec-600 the kec-600 is alot more intriquite and complex than the others, US AMPS and crossfire are 6 channel output, the kenwood has 12channel out all have line drivers, kenwood = 24 db/octave, crossfire is 12 db/octave and i think the usamps is 12 db/octave just needing some opinions...im gonna try to sell the usamps and crossfire and keep the kenwood - made in 94 old school goodness... the us amps is old too tho ALL INMINT SHAPE crossfire is new tho

Between these two amps, PG Octane-R (4 channel)series and Hifonics Titan (4 channel)Series, which one will you choose???...

im gonna mix the Rainbow SLC mids with the CS tweets. now my questions is, which crossover do i use? the soundline or the countour?

What exactly does this do to the amp? Also are the prices listed on the website the actual prices? I've never looked into these amps before, and they look real nice!! Ive been looking at the Duece amp, heard nothing but great things about them.

I have the option of using either amps for my components (Rainbow) and rear fill (JBL mids): Alpine MRV-F302 V12, 4x50 @ 4 ohm @ 14.4 Planet Audio P450, 4 x 50 @ ohm Anyone have exp with these or similar amps from the Alpine and PA lines? Which one will get me better SQ? Advice appreciated. Thanks!

ive never even helped installing a security system before...led alone one this complicated. I have a pheonix digital (i know) PD-175. The only major problems i could find with this was the rem starter. and i have a manual so i dont give a rats ass about that chit. Now i have manual locks. so it obviously isnt going to be controlling my locks. however its talking about the door pin trigger? WTF? im geussing this is the wire that knows when a door has been opened to send that current to a relay to turn on the dome light. there was a thing on here about getting a CD instalation help guide thing and i asked but never got one. oh well. maybe you guys can help me. im looki…

www.usamps.com for more info and dealer location Hey all, I got back from the USAMPS factory today and met the owner, Mr. Daniel Kim (my uncle), the Sales director, Mr. Jeff Coleman (some of you probably know of him), and the head engineer (CO-started USAMPS and designs all of the boards.) Mr. Dirk Ecker. But umm okay first off I wanted to say that these amps are AMAZING. I ain

this is really wierd. umm after i hooked up my friends speakers. when it was at my house, there was no noise at all. but now my friend calls me when he gets home, and he hears this high pitch whistling noise comin from the speakers, but its only at low volumes. When he turns the volume high, the noise goes away and everything is fine. I'm guessing a ground problem, but there is no noise from the subs and why did it appear when my friend get home?

Has anyone had any experience with this amp? Im looking for loud and cheap. It says 1800@1 , dont know how accurate it is though. It will be put on an 18" HC once I get it reconed. My Goal is loud, not daily driver just one loud burp machine. Will this amp suffice or should I look into something along the Hifonics line? My Goal is 145 to start with.

I'm finally getting around to installing the stuff I've had for over a year now. I'll be putting 2 RE 8's powered by a USX 2080. My deck is an old JVC El-Kameleon KX-something or other (the best Kameleon they had), I'll be using the deck's sub outs because I'm too cheap to buy a crossover for now, and the highs are Infinity Reference 6x8's. That was all because I know I'd get asked. Anyway, I need a wiring kit for the amp. Denim has informed me that someone on here makes and sells them on the cheap? Hook a brotha up

Im looking at these 2 amps to power my 12" polk sub(150WRMS) and my front SEPS. Would you guys know which one is better in terms of quality and performance?... just base your answer with your experience and the brand name, just in case you have'nt listen or audition this models.. its not available locally so im asking the experts on AMPS... they are both on the same price range in Ebay, shipped. Im leaning to power acoustik bcoz it has more power than PG though im not sure if it is over rated... But most of the people in other forums recommend PG.... so that's make me confused... so pls help me to decide guys... many thanks... POWER ACOUSTIK OV4 800 * PWM Mosfet Powe…

What is the best entry level amp in the market today?... Obviously they will not match those high-end amp so lets not compare them... just want to know for consumer preference...

thinking about a bit more juice for my rl-p currently useinga p.g.xennon 600wrms-very nice. got a dual 4 ohm rl-p so amp has to give plenty (1000 wrms at least) @ 2 ohms,and be excellent sq. anyone know what amp i need? link?

sometime in the future i will be putting one hell of a ocmputer in my truck for MP3 sotrage only. there are 2 ins. Min and Line Level (same voltages as RCA) in. From what ive been hearing sometimes the impeadance of the line in is too low for most RCA ins. this causes a lot of distortion with the singal. However for my RCA's for hte moment i will probably end up getting one of thoes peaker level to line level converters untill Xmas when i can get a good 2din HU...lol i am so cheap. so my question is, because my head unit i used to seeing a 4ohm impeadance and the line level in is of s much higher impeadance will i have to worry about any distortion at all? im setting my…

ok my girls dad bought her a cheap lil boss HU, and whenever she hits a bump it skips, lol, so i was thinking maybe put some sponge or something in thier and it would fix the problem any other ideas?

I talked with my uncles (the owner of USamps) wifey last night, the operation is a husband and wife thing, and I found out my uncle REALLY DOES own USAMPS, 100% sure of it. And the cool thing is, the guy wants to meet me! I told him that i had some ideas about how to get his company's name out into the public, and he wants to talk to me about them! I am soo happy!!! I

i dont get it. i was doin an install on my friends car and the speakers werent working. I decided to take my eD9.2 out of the car and and switch the pg out to see if i hooked everything up correctly. Everything was fine. Now here is the problem. Once i put everything back in to my car and hooked everything up, i found out that both my amps wouldnt turn on. i checked the fuses, all fine, all the connections, fine also. the HU works.... but it seems that my amps wont turn on. What the heck happened?
