ok i got a few questions: 1, i need help choosing a sub amp here is what i am thinking: us amps XT-4000D used us amps md1d Used ED 9.1 used/refurb kicker sx1250 Hifonics TXi1508D i am trying to not spend more then 300 on the amp and i need 1200rms at 1 ohm. Another question is this: on my car it is a single wire running for the alternator and the way it is suppose to be wired that it came with a 6" long run of 10 guage wire attached to the alternator to a point where then i have 1/0 guage running to the battery. could that 10 guage wire pose a voltage problem for 200 amps. And the last question. i am thinking of using kinetic batteries and they to use a hc1400 under the…

Hey so...what kinda amp would anybody recommend for the Fi BT12" Subwoofer?

i know the amp will put out alot of power with out having to strap batteries. im running 1/0 guage and im putting a sundown nightshade d1 15" sub in my s10 blazer im using the system for steet loud

Does anyone have any experience with these? Or the line. I used to run The old SPL's SPL160s and the Rubi 1002. Did very well with them. I know epsilon owns them now. Do they do rated, Efficient, Will they run at .67 or .5 Ohm? any and all help is appreciated. Price wise and Numbers they look good but after Carrying and running American Bass and Power bass Amplifiers it's kinda hard to deviate.

Any body know how to hookup your steering wheels controls to your aftermarket head unit? I just installed my Kenwood KDC-138 and the only thing that could make me happier would be to control the volume with ease

and I purchased an Eclipse XA2000 for my midbass/midrange. I'll post up pix and stuff when i get it. Has anyone played around with one of these 2-/multi-channel class Db amps yet? Oh and my batteries cell blew so I went ahead and purchased a optima yellow top while i was at it.

i'm looking for a amp to power 2 fi bl 18s. well right now im looking at the audioque 2200 for 389 shipped and the audiopipe 3000d for 386 shipped. what other amps should i look at for bout $400? also i'm looking for a amp that has a warranty.

I bought a new Pioneer z110bt and have been messin with installing it into my 2006 Nissan Xterra SE. I keep getting this high pitched whine. The factory Rockford Fosgate system is still in, and I have the bypass harness' and everything is hooked up right but it still makes this high pitched whine noise. Keep in mind this is WITH the key off...........I am lost as to why its doing this........The whine is still present with the RCA's unplugged. Any ideas guys? J

So awhile ago I had a battery isolator installed on my tahoe and I'd like to remove it...It's bolted onto the plastic fuse housing, as in inside the fuse housing there's nuts securing the bolts... Any idea how to get to those nuts so I can remove it and put a fuse holder there instead? Thanks

i was looking at the knukonceptz krystal rcas ... they are looking pretty nice for the price ... anyone have any experience with them? ... they look similar to the high end jl interconnects or the mid grade monsters

Focal FP 1.800 what do you think about it? have any of you used it? and what do you think of Focal amps?

So i replaces my stocker with a yellow top. I want to run a second battery as well, unisolated. I was advised against using the stock one with the yellow top. Ive been seeing builds where people do though. Are there issues here that i teally need to be concerned with or not? I believe the stock is an AC. Delco. Eventually when cag allows it i will match batteries but would this be ok for now?

Hello I need a new complete 4ga. amp kit,and I come across the KnuKonceptz. The Amp kit will be used on a AudioQue AQ1200D.(1200x1) Whats the difference between these three complete 4ga. amp kits? Is it worth the extra cash,or is it a waste? $26.99+shipping http://knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLM-K4 $39.99+shipping http://knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL-AK4 $51.99+shipping http://knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-AK4 Thanks

how much ah of power do u think i would need to run (2) soundstream d-tower 3400 watts and (1) sundown 100.4? by the way im using kinetik cells

So, I have come down to 3 sets of comps to do my final choice from. And up til the time I do my final choice, I would like to have some suggestions what to look for in amps, that would do these three 2-way kits justice. They are: DLS Iridium 6.2i Hertz MLK165 Morel Elate 6 I'm planning, at least finally to give the woofers a minimum of 200-250 clean watts to play with, so I've been contemplating running a 4-channel bridged for the woofers, and a separate 2-channel amp for the tweeters. For now, what I'm looking for is sweet matches between front system and amps, nothing more. Budget, is not fixed, but as little as possible and still be a nice match for the comps.

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

does anyone want to buy a month old hifonics brutus 2600 watt amp? appearently the rca section of the amp isn't working well... like its loose or something.... i really want to sell this, soon, anyone want to offer? or know anyone who like disfunct amps?

Hi everybody. I recently had my starter set up installed (2 sa-12s dvc 1 sax-1200 wired to one ohm). It was not hitting hard and then it just went completely inaudible, although bass was still slightly there. I realize the not hitting hard part was most likely a wiring issue. I took it into a car audio shop, we opened it up and the guy told me that i blew it, still very puzzling. The gain wasn't set beyond half way and I blew it, but have no idea how. Anyways, I put a picture below (downloaded from the net) and circled the place where the seal broke, and the guy who installed my stereo said it was faulty. Now the problem is bigger because I live in Taiwan, so i was …

Anyone have one of these or read any good reviews of the new reference amps from Soundstream they could link me to? Back in the day they were the some of the best around. Seriously looking at the REF4.920.

I have an '06 tahoe and I am planning on running a saz-3500d @ 1.33ohms and a sax-125.2. I have $400 to put towards an alt today, this Saturday I'll have enough to purchase: 2000-2006 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban V8 AD 270 Amp XP series alternator That seems to be the highest rated alternator I can find. Am I better off waiting and getting that or do any of you guys know of anything cheaper but just as good?

Any ideas about this unit, i have someone wanting to sell it for 100 what's ya'lls thought? Also how does the rear input usb work?

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?

This will be going into my scion xb 08. Its going into the hatch area in the back. Question is would any of these batteries work for me. I have no experiance with batteries besides getting stock ones for replacement. I've read up on deka, xs, optima and all those. The only reason I would go with one of the batteries from this site is because I have an account there and they are local. Like I said this is going into a scion xb, will be the second battery. Going to help power a sundown saz1000d pushing a fi 15 Q. http://www.lesschwab.com/batteries.asp I'm assuming one of the deep cycle ones would work for me since they seem to resemble the optimas, but I am lost. And …

All right, i have a question about grounding. I have an 1 F capacitor, got it for free and just using it untill i have enough to buy all new equipment for my truck. I was wondering if it would be alright if i grounded my amplifier to my capacitor, and then my capacitor to my floor? would there be any problems in that? thanks, scott Edit: This is gonna be for my sub amp
