I have an older Pioneer DEH P930 with a bass enhancement feature that works like an Epicenter. As a bass lover...I have enjoyed being able to use this feature without having to add another piece of equipment (such as an Epicenter), just for this feature, into the system. Do any current Pioneer models have this feature? Do any other manufacturers build a circuit like this into their decks or processors? Thanks!

I was interested in daisy chaining a pair of XS100's for each 9515. I am not too sure of how to go about doing this.

I was looking around today and found this amp at a local store. My friend has been looking for an amp that could run good power at two ohms mono or a 2 channel that could run 1 ohm stereo and I was wondering if this amp had any guts to it or if anyone could find some specs on it. I figured this might be a good old school amp. If you need some other pictures I can post them too. Thanks Kader

Got my alternator in and hooked up today, but had a few issues. First of all, the new alt came with a different plug. One of the wires was longer than the other three, and it was in the exact same place that there was a wire on the original plug (the original is a 4-pin, but there is only one wire leading into it. This one wire is in the same location as the one long wire in the new plug). I decided to just use the old plug, as the other three plugs on the new pin are insignificant. We fired it up, and it made a low humming sound and began to smoke. I smelled something funny, not necessarily burning but kind of like it. I have never seen an alternator smoke before, so it …

Do any of you guys know what's the maximum unclipped output voltage for a PG tantrum 1200.1 at 3 ohms?

i have an 03 b5.5 sedan, just wondering if anyone knows how on earth i should access the alt and where in gods name i can find the engine-->chassis wire.... its like a jungle in there... links/pics greatly appreciated.

i was told i need to get an amp for this, is this correct and about how much money should it cost?(i dont want to be ripped-off really) also, would bass damage any head unit?(like the disc reader and whatnot?)

I have an 04 escalade and am wondering if I get a new Deck from say pioneer a dvd player double din style, can I still have my steering wheel controls? There is a lot more than just audio on my steering wheel pertaining to oil readings and gas readings and mileage and all kinds of stuff. Does anyone know what is all controlled by the current head unit and what can be lost from changing it out?

3 I am just curious cause I have never run them and I like Crystal subs

Hi I jus bought a 12" Fi SSD sub with the copper coils and i was wondering which of these amps do you think is better. A Clarion DPX1851 or An Alpine M850 Looking for better quality and better proformance, etc. Wattage doesnt matter cause they are both capable of pushing this sub

Okay so im putting in a new system in my car and i need to know if there is a reason to buy a crossover and put one in. Ive been told that this crossover is pretty good http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8160_AudioControl+6XS+-GRAY-.html. What is the purpose of having a crossover like this? Any help will help. Thanks

Can i wire my 4 subs to a Sundown 100D and give around 250RMS to each sub? Is this safe? Would it look like OPTION 1 from this: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=4&I=22 And for this i wuld get 4 Dual 2-ohm.

Used to have a Hifonics 2000bxi and when I ran that full tilt it would only get luke warm. Now that I've upgraded to my mb quart 2000.1d, running it at even 3/4 tilt makes it get really toasty. To the point where it hurts to leave your hand on it for more than 4 seconds. Voltage never dips below 13.5v full tilt and I have it tuned on my DMM for 2000w (does 2200w i hear?) The amp is directly grounded to my rear batt and all the connections are snug and tight. The amp is also mounted right by my seat openings so it has pretty decent air flow. Anyone elses discus series amp run toasty like mine?

big thanks to rob. http://www.dcpowerinc.com/ Here are some pics of the alternator. goes in here more pics and video coming soon, just waiting on some terminals

do I have to have a fused distrubution block for my power wire.

so I have a 9300 and a 660 as of today, and i went to go plug in the new 660 to make sure everything was good and the plug was diff from the 9300 which pissed me off. It was basicly the same but the 660 one was a tad larger and i didnt feel like hooking up a new harness just to test the new hu. anyone know if the 4 or 5 series are the same as the new 6? thanks! -aaron

Well I have a kicker 500Si and it ran into a problem when I got it. I hooked it up and it would go into protection mode after 5 seconds. I sent it in to kicker after asking them on the phone if it could be fixed and after two weeks they emailed me back and said that they could not fix it. I know they could because anyone that's can fix amps can fix mine. Well I want to know if any of you guys may know how to fix this amp. The man I was going to go through just retired. I also have a kicker 40ss that has the same problem. Any help would be great. Kicker rocks!!! B)

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

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the forum, I've been lurking for awhile trying to learn as much as I can. Anyways, I've had a 15" Memphis sub and a Memphis Power Reference P200.2 two channel amp for awhile. Lately my sub started to sound like it was fixing to go. I found someone selling two Memphis 12s in a box on Craigslist. I went and met the guy and hooked up the speakers, and they sounded good, so I paid the guy and started to get on my way. The speaker wires this guy had for the 12s were crimped and part of the metal was exposed. I went to push the box the rest of the way into my Explorer, and like an idiot, I let the exposed metal on the speaker wires make contact. Smok…

im looking for a good amp for a fi btl 18, any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

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

I am looking for two bass control knobs for two kicker amps. Two questions 1) will a generic or other brand "phone line" bass controller work with my kicker amps? 2) Why are they so darned expensive. ppl are asking 25-30 bucks for them, essentially they are a potentiometer with a rubber dial? I dont see where the cost is incurred.

Can I hook my power and ground wire on my cb radio to the inputs on my amplifier where the power and ground are ?? Thanks, Matt Cusack

I jus purchased the kenwood KDC-BT645U do you guys think that will be a nice deck for my audioque 2200 and btl 18 n2? And does the 2v pre output matter?
