Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

i was playing around with my headunit(pioneer 860mp) and switched some things that made it hit the hardest of ever!!! but i took my magnum out and looked at the coil and it looked brand new un harmed!!!(even with me turning the gain a little higher than the head units voltage) i have a bx1500d i think that i want to step up to a bx1800d or an audiobahn 1800dt will i notice it? audiobahn vs hifonics amp wise or is tunsumi a good amp?

DDAUDIO looks nice how bout the Price?

hi im going to another comp on the 1st (sunday). ive been running this amp @ 2ohms with my 4 12's. the ams specs are: 1100@4ohm 1800@2ohm 2300@1ohm 3000@ MAX well n e way, i was thinking bout running all 4 12's down to .5ohms. how long do u think i would have b4 the amp went into protection or overheated? i called up PA and they said that they never tested it at .5ohms. thanks.

guy at RE said to get a power acoustik 3000.. I saw it for 339$ and i get like 2300watts at 1 ohm. That an the planet audio amp. He said there dam near the same. anybody got any better deal, wt that i need 2 for each 18. Any more power for a good price i'm open to any ideas.

i got 2 RE HC 12s, i have em in a 6 cubed box tuned to 31 hz, wit a mtx 1501d powerin both. I think i hooked them up wrong or something, Cuz my rearview mirror dont even vibrate. and my friend can do that wit 500 watts. i used the wiring wizard at rockford fosgates site running it on 1/0 gauge wire http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiri...x=21&image.y=13. personally, i believe that i should have hooked each speaker to a different speaker output on my amp. Heres some pics ofwaht the outside of amp looks like. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-kNz22QCXzEr/c...&display=XL#Tab and, http://www.crutchfield.com/S-kNz22QCXzEr/c...&display=XL#Tab I dont no what phas…

what about them....anyone with any experience? specificly....this one? lemme know...the sub is on it's way..it's needs an amp to push it!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Gain Matching Correctly setting a sound system

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

I've had a Mag D2 for about a month now. And ever since I've had it, when my hu is at high volumes and the bass is hitting hard, it skips like crazy. I have just a normal $150 JVC hu, it sucks and I'm saving up for a new one. But are there any suggestions to help keep it from skipping? (foam or any padding?)

Here you go... There's still an amp missing, the matching 225 for the right side. I may be switching out the 2100 for a 250 for awhile. I'm trying to get ahold of another 2100 so I can run two to the sub, one on each coil. As it is right now it blends really well with the front stage for rock and so forth but there just isn't enough for hardcore bass music and I don't want to risk the 2100 by running it @ 1 ohm. Edit: The links got clipped somehow when I copied and pasted them in. They should work now and inline images.

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 got 2 12' HCs, there for daily, so im decidin a amp. i was gonna get 2 bx1000ds but i diddnt no if i should spend extra to get the bx1500ds instead. but i think 3k watts will be to much for daily. also i got a 80 amp alt so i doubt ill be able to run either of them without upgrading. also i was thinkin of a tsunami 1800db but i heard ppl havin probs wit em. also i does any sites still sell them? ty, and if u no any amps i would like for aroun 450-500 post them.

Can someone please help me......... please give me lots and lots of crossover information, I need to learn! I see that people on this site have made their own and I don't even know how to use ones that I could buy off of my stereo stores shelf. Please help! confused............-crossovers ....... Thanks............. Jonathan

I am somewhat new at this and feel I need to run more batteries, this was also recommended by a stereo shop near where I live however they would charge an arm and a leg to do the job. I was wondering on how to do this, I was thinking parallel, but I was wondering how both batteries keep charged....... Thank you Jonathan Thompson

My friend has a 2004 Kicker L7 8. He needs an amp for it. It is DVC 4 ohm. He wants to put around 750-1000 watts on it. He also doesn't want to spend a lot of money. I have tried to find a good amp for that price, but its hard to get full power with that vc configuration.

How do I know what to set my SSF to? The Fs of my sub is 36.4Hz Box is 2 cubes tuned to 38Hz FS of my truck is 37Hz I can give you any T/S params you need, or you can get them from here: http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/subwo...ta_T9512-44.pdf (PDF file, 693KB) A direct answer of what to set it to is fine, but I would like to know how to calculate it, or at least a "rule of thumb" to go by when setting the cutoff frequency.

Sup folks, I have a friend that is trying to figure out a way to make a mini ipod work with his stock cd player. THis is what he is trying to do and figure out. Can you tell me if its possible and if so how do you do it? "I have a 2000 Nissan Xterra SE with the factory head unit (CD/TAPE/CHANGER CONTROLLER DOUBLE DIN) and it doesn't have any inputs on the back other than a 12 pin connector for a cd changer (which I don't have). I'm trying to make an auxillary input out of the cd changer input so I can wire my iPod directly into the reciever for higher quality. In theory this should be possible assuming there is a way to get the reciever to switch over to the cd changer i…

same price basicly.. someone said the 4000x will die if i run it for daily use. i know the crossfires wont.. what should i buy.. i'm kinda eekin to know cus i'd like to order them before i go to sleep. gonna run two powerbase xs 15's dual 2 ohm. 1000 rms each

What size are the screws that hold the mounting bracket on the amp?

Ive got a class D Mono amp that keeps shutting off while playing music. before It used to do it if there was a weak signal but now its starting to do it no matter what. I have to turn off the HU then turn it back on to get the amp working again. In the last vehicle it was in the remote wire was connected to a fuse under the dash and the wire's insulation rubbed off somewhere. the wire touched metal on the vehicle and burned out the wire. for a while the amp wouldnt even play any music but then started workign again. btw, that happened almost exactly a year ago... had the amp for 1 1/2 years & i bass it everyday

Hi Guys, I just installed my front stage a few days ago and now I have a nice problem. The amp I am using for my frontstage is a Memphis 16-ST300. When I'm on the road, it happens really often that the front stage stops for a second or two and then it gets back. During this time, the sub amp which is a Memphis 16-ST1000D doesn't even stops. I just don't know what to do right now. Thanks, Maxime

I ordered all my wiring, blocks, fuses from Knukonceptz. Great prices, quality products and good communication. Tell him Pete from CEG recommended him to you - might not get you anywhere, but who knows - .

i am looking at getting a jbl 1200 watt amp, i found 1 on sounddomain, but have not found much else. The one i found on SD was the powervalve BP, i found one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5700553298&rd=1 which would be better suited for 2 adire shiva 12's in a ported box
