Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

I have stock s10 electrical and have 2 new alpine mrp-m500's. I have went through 2 alternators and wonder what is happening. Is 1000 watts too much for a stock electrical system. Thanks in advance!!!

Hey Guys! Alpine has came out with a new PDX series! They look pucking sexy as ever Few Copy and Pastes from their website. Power Management Processor PDX amps incorporate Alpine’s new Power Management circuit. The Power Management Processor controls all aspects of amplifier performance, monitoring voltage, temperature and output to ensure uninterrupted power output for non-stop listening. If the amp gets too hot, the Thermal Protection circuit kicks in and gradually decreases output power until it cools down. Once cool, the power output automatically increases back to the previous level. If the circuit detects a Low Battery condition, it will gradually decrease power …

So i tried to play a youtube video and then one i recorded on the iphone. Neither worked. What could be wrong? I have the proper cable from pioneer. Its an Iphone 4 on iOS 5.0

Alright, so I got a dual 4 skar vvx 10 and ive been looking for an amp for it. I was looking for something that put out somewhere around 700-800watts @2ohms. My price range is nothing higher than $230. I have a list of my choices, so im politely asking if you guys could give me your 2cents on which amp(s) would be my best choice.

Which puts more of a strain on alt. Pros and cons of extra battery or cap. I never plan on playing my system with the car off. Just trying to keep my voltage up.

Ok well right now i have a pair of Polk db651's in my front doors, and my stock bose speakers in the back (they barely put out any sound at all that i can hear). I have a sony gt620ip (not the best but its what i have). Now the question is... Will my front speakers get more power from the h/u if i disconnect the back two speakers?

I was thinking about trying to put in 2 ssa fcons when they come out. I think they said they would be 600watts rms a piece. I drive '97 corolla with stock alt and a run-of-the-mill battery. The stock alternator is 70-80 amps i believe. 1200w would most likely be too much for the electric even with the big 3 and a new battery? I cant find any specific h/o alternators for my car. Not to mention that I probably couldn't afford to buy an expensive one and have it put in. I may just stick with dcons if this is the case.

i am planning on buying a kinetik hc1800, and do the big 3 with 0awg, but will it be enough to power a RF T1500-1BD and a power acoustiks 1000 watt max 4-channel, i know it wont be full tilt, but just wanna know if it would power it welll, if not, what else can i do, swap it for a kinetik hc2000???? open for sugestions, and really cant afford a HO alternator, i have a silverado 2000 4.3 single cab,

Does the SAZ-3000 accept a hifonics remote gain knob cord? If not then where can I get one? any place like Fry's or radio shack have them? or adapters?

I just recently purchased a Sundown SAZ 1500d amp and I was lookin thru the manual and I noticed something in it that if I'm running 1 sub that I should run the -wire to the positive and the +wire from the sub to the negative terminal on the amp for the speakers. Is this a error or this is the way I'm supposed to do it ?

Does anyone have or have experiance with this CD Deck? I have this deck in my car right now and like it alot. I just bought an iPod online today for my car being the deck has a USB connection. Anyone running an iPod in their car? How does it work? Can you control it from the deck?

Again am using a US amp MD.3D. I have a HO alternator from Nations and a kenetik HC 2000. Would this be enough to supply this amp with the needed power. Am wanting to run 2 15" subs, 1000 watts a piece. Thanks in advance for the response.

Does anyone know of a bass knob compatible with the Dynabel 7501 besides the universal ones that just go into your rcas>

Hey all.Was just wondering if my amp (the one mentioned in the title) is able to be daisy-chanied with another Autotek Street Machine 1500 watt amp.Thanks

hello all i know i don't post much but i need some help, i have a 94 supra and i think it's time to upgrade the audio system. first let me say space is limited, i want to use a 5 channel amp because that's all it seem like i have room for. i will be using polk component speakers zx350.4 and they are 6 1/2, i also need some input on some bass speakers i don't want anything bigger than 10" i have a box to go in the stock location. any info will be appreciated. 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.

hey whats up im looking for a huge battery for my secondary battery something that can handle burps really well and a lil music here and there what are the differences between these two and which ones better thanks

I have a 4 cylinder honda accord sedan, and was wondering if anyone has done the big 3 on this car or one similar. I attempted to do it, but saw when I looked under my hood I was stumped :\. Pictures and steps would be much appreciated thanks

Yesterday while I was driving, my amps cut off and today I found out is was my saz1500 causing a short in my remote wire. I pulled it out and looked at the inside and it looks to be some solder in between my remote and ground terminal touching. I've email dbr but I probably won't get a response today because it's Sunday. I was thinking I could just remove the solder but my question is what would cause this to happen and would it happen again?

So as of now, I plan on getting 4 alpine type s component speakers, tweeters and cross overs, *I may also add two 6x9 kicker coaxial speakers* Anyways I was wondering, out of these head units, which would be the best for sq to power the speakers and which one is the most reliable. http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/fh-p8000bt.aspx http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/ptid-8940nt.aspx http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/kenwooddpx503.aspx http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/adb340mp.aspx http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/vm9311.aspx

Im looking at this crescendo BC2000D for my fully loaded BL 15 dual 2. Want to run it at 1 ohm . I rather buy a amp that has a little more to give, for if i upgrade from the BL to a different line down the road. Also the price isn't bad. Good choice or no ?

Right now I have a pioneer DEH-P7000BT and I can get a deal on a new pioneer AVH-P5000DVD. I like the one I have now and its features but I would like a tv but i dont wanna lose the features. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with that in dash tv and would suggest it. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

alright ive been searching for used 2400s and d3100s and i just gave up because i just found this deal. figured i would give them a try. i already have 10 hc2400s and 1 d3100. http://www.powerhousebattery.com/cgi/displ...em_num=UB121100 i found out it was cheaper to buy the batteries 1 at a time then buying all 5 at once so i did 5 seperate orders 205 SHIPPED EACH 205 was in my price range so ill give them a try.

Help if you can, PG is ignoring my emails. I am running my PG M44 bridged to 155@4ohms x 2 to power my front stage; however, the only way I could figure out how to do this is to use RCA Y splitters and run the left RCA to both inputs on one side of the amp and the right to both inputs on the other side. Isn't there a better way to turn the M44 into a 2 channel amp? If/when I go active it will be just running my mids...

I have a 2006 Corolla Type S. My alternator is 70 amps. I have a Batcap 800 as kinda like a 2nd battery for my JBL GTO 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms. My system dims a lil bit but not too badly at night. I had a pair of Kicker CVX 12s powered off this amp and one blew and I sold the other one. I also had a pair of Orion HP12s and one blew and I still have the other one. The reason the HP blew though was I was playing Trap or Die by Young Jeezy with my iPods Bass Booste on to make the song hit harder like an idiot lol (I know not to do that ever again). One question I have is could not my electrical system actually be damaging to sub setups? In my…
