These videos will show you why you need to have a proper electrical system backing your amps.

has anyone tried or heard if the soundstream tarantulas are close to tru power or are they crap?

I have two questions... 1st. How do you set the time on this thing. I lost my book for it so Im a little lost. And 2nd. On the HU there is a subwoofer control thing. And the options are, Forward, Reverse, and Normal. What does that do and how would it affect the subs performance?

I have a EPx2 Processor with the 28 band eq card and the control of the unit is great i was just wondering if anyone had one with the dsp card in it and if so if the could tell me the benifit of having the card. I love the unit I had saw a dsp card on ebay and was trying to see if i would be getting any more out of having the card in the processor or not.

I am installing a Jensen MCD 6115, and two Jensen power 760 amps in my boat. The reciever has output of 200 watts ( 50 x 4 ). After I hook up amps through rca preamps at reciever does that reciever 200 watts transfer through the amp? or can I still use those reciever speaker leads for 50 x 4?

hi guys i recently got 2 18 btls and 2 bxi 2610. now im looking for a ho alt for my opel astra. do you know a brand making a good alt for it?

I was thinking about buying an mlx-100. I wanted to use it to take the subwoofer output on my 3sixty.2 and branch that signal into 4 outputs to power 4 of my saz1500s. (I know I could do this with y adapters as well). My question reguards sending the 4 output signals unbridged to the amps. In the video posted below they show you need to connect a and b, c and d but then stop. These are all positive polarity. Would I only be able to send identical outputs to 2 amplifiers this way? What is the deal with this? Please enlighten me. Also would it be a better idea just to get y adapters? I really don't know anything about the mlx-100 except for the fact that you could control …

My friend just got a Sundown 3,000 for his truck. I brought up the idea of maybe trading my DD M3a for his SAZ3,000. He's doesn't care either way. What would you do and why? Side notes: For now I will have one amp on 2 ZCON 18"s at .5 ohm. Then get a second of either and have each at 1 ohm daily, and .25 for shows and such.

just a quick one here guys. i currently own a optima red top grp35 and 2 kenetik hc800s. i am running a saz-2000d and sax-100.4 sub is the btl 18 fully loaded my question is... i am getting a HO alt as soon as i figure out what car i am doing this to but do i need to change my battery's. i am putting the optima up front witch is brand new.the hc800's come from the old setup but still work fine. Will the hc800s be enough for what i have and will they hold up until i get my HO alt?

Has anyone ever had the pleasure of owing one of the big beast? I had a friend that ran 12 12's off of one of these this amp is a horse, wonder why they dont make there new amps with that type of technology .25 ohm stable that would be nice.

Undecided on which HU to get, i want touchscreen, iPod compatible(will get the steering wheel control as well), and while im at it with gps, bluetooth is not necessary. I was looking at these two an Eclipse and a Pioneer. The Eclipse has a much bigger screen and what not, but the faceplate is the one where it moves(i've heard these tend to break/become disfunctional really quick or is taht only for the slide out ones?). While the Pioneer has a slot for discs and does not need to slide/move at all. The Pioneer also looks more "cleaner/smoother". Im not sure lol, my birthday is coming up and i know i will get some money and will need to just put liek 3-400 to get a nice HU.…

got a new truck coming and I think I will build something big in it. (big to me anyways) 2013 Ram Longhorn I will be keeping the stock HU so I need OEM integration. 3 way components up front rear door speakers 1 12inch sub I think I will be using ZED amps (leviathan,draconia,and minotaur) I need a processor to run all this...I don't care which one, I don't care if I use the processor Xover or the amps Xover.......but I would like TA. thanks
