i finally got my subs hook up and my monoblock going....so i know most of you have your gains set at a quarter and so thats what i did at FIRST. The dmm gain settings way wasnt working for some reason it kept reading the same numbers with the music going and the music off. Anyways i left the gains at a quarter for now and listened to it and i couldnt even feel the subs at high volume so i turned it up to half just to see the difference and then right as you get to half this HUGE rumbling comes from my subs and its constant even if the music is on pause...and this did happen but not as loud when i had my other amp at 4ohms.can someone pls help me with this?? here was a cou…

So as of now this is the best 5 channel amp I can find. By best I mean realiable and 1000+ rms for just the sub. I have not found one with higher rms then this one: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23827_Hifonics-Zeus-ZXi60.4-1K.html Help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

has anyone played with one of these? im getting one as soon as i get my money back for my orion d5000...what kinda electrical system will i need to support this 10k watt beast? so far i have my 2 odyssey pc1700s, prally gonna get 2 more of those. gonna get a 300a alt, do the big 3. anything else? my starter batt will be my red top... what kinda voltage do they need to do their rated 10kwrms @ 1 ohm? each mt will be getting about 2500w rms or so... now i need to find some soundstream amps for all my midrange and tweets LOL VJ

What do you guys think of this battery? Any reason it shouldn't perform as well as the DieHard 31m, or JuiceBox Black Cherry? It has same rating of 110ah at 20hrs. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-agm-deep-cycle-marine-and-rv-battery-group-size-31dtmagm/prod3590232.ip?sprodId=prod3590232&selectedTab=allProducts&_requestid=50474 This Duracell is currently $179 at Sams with core exchange. Sears has become way to proud of their 31m recently @ $310. The Black Cherry is currently $240 shipped. http://juiceboxbattery.com/product/juicebox-black-cherry-group-31-agm-110ah/

what would be the specs of al the amps comming out... if you cant say now i understand... jamie

So I've wondered this and never seen any tested answers. If i had a 750 watt amp at 1ohms and another 2000watt amp at 1 ohm and 750 at 4 ohms and I want 750 for my subs given same model and same efficiency at same ohm which would draw more current? A bigger amp wired to 4 ohm or a small amp wired to 1 ohm. Example would be a crescendo bc2000 at 4 ohm vs a aq750 at 1 ohm. Anybody tested this and have any thoughts, experiences etc. Hope this is easy to understand as I tried to word it best I could

Have you guys heard anything bad about the Pioneer DEX-P99RS? It would be perfect for my three way front stage. I love the idea of having a processor and HU all in one unit. It is expensive compared to other HU's but if you look at the price of a processor plus an HU then the price of the P99RS isn't so bad.

hey guys!newby here! just wanted to introduce myself!names joel and i am working on getting a system together for my 97 ford ranger.not my first install by a long shot but its been a while!like 10 yrs! this is where im at!alpine cda 9887 head unit,2 crossfire xp2400d's,crossfire xp3204,1 re audio xxx 12 a custom box tuned to i believe 30 hrz made by fine custom works,focal 165 k2p components, 1kinetik hc3800 for inside of cab,1 kinetik hc2400 under hood, high output 200 amp alt.lots of 0 guage kicker hyper flex wiring.right now im working on best way to fit all this chit in the back of my little extra cab!any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!and if an…

Im looking to wire two audiopipe AP.1500's strapped at 4ohms to my f2f Fi bl12 so that each amp sees 2ohms untill I get my second sub. I can't find a diagram that explains it though. I understand how to bridge the rca's but I don't get how to wire the sub. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks

I need an amp to power 2 xcon 18's, or zcon 18's (sub choice as of now, may change but that power range) Need a good solid amp with clean power, price insnt a complete issue but pref about 1k new. dont mind strpping two smaller amps, and im a fan of dual power/ground inputs. suggestions? car is 99 jeep grand cherokee subs are as stated most likely 2 xcon 18's or zcon 18s ""SQL"" kinda of set up plays music, very loud. will have big 3 and singer 250a alt, and xs 6500 under hood, maybe some d3100 in the back.

I was wondering if anyone here has used trojan batteries before cause the local distributor around me quoted me an awsome price on a 2400cca agm battery and I am wanting to know if they last long and are any good.

For some reason the fuse on my sundown 125.2 amplifier keeps popping. I do not even get to turn the car on before they pop. Once I go to insert one fuse it pops directly on contact. Can this be because all 3 fuses have to be connected without power going to them (i know that sounds stupid because of the whole current draw thing but I though I would just throw it out there). The fuse connected 18" away from the amp does not pop but the one connected to the 125.2 does. This leads me to believe that the problem lies somewhere else down the line. I checked the power and ground and they are not touching, they are also inputed correctly. The ground is also secured firmly. No …

i have 1 premier prs 3000 and a clarion dpx11500 both are ran at 2 ohm and wqas just wondering the best way to sync them as my box comon chamber.

didn't see any reviews, so i figured I'd ask. Just curious, not buying it.(*putting on the flame suit*) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_45477_SPL-GLA1-6000D.html

Wanted to see opinions on where I should set high and lowpass filters on my sundown ns1. I'm slowly figuring my issue out but open to others imput. Enclosure is 5 cubes after displacement tuned to 35. Everything on my head unit is set to flat. Any help is welcomed

Well i think i will need a new amp kit, I am using a cheap 4ga ( American accessories ). But I just upgraded amps. I will be running an AudioQue 1200d, and Kicker 350.4 with a kinetik HC 800 in the trunk. I am leaning towards a Kicker amp kit, and a knu concepts. Will 4ga be enough?

as the title what are your thoughts on doing this? what are the pros and cons on using this type of power cable to run from my engine bay battery to my rear distributor block. i curruntly have kicker flex power and 4 awg from battery to dist block and 4 awg continued to two amps.my amps sundown saz 1000.1 d and a cadance xenith series 125.2. in currently runnig my sundown at two ohm and i what to be prepared to run the amp at 1 ohm in the future. feed back would be great thanks

welp finally got my hands on a second aq2200 now the only thing is i hyave no idea how to strap them together!!! lol iv never done any kind of strapping what so ever so help is appreciated! subs are d2's by the way. i have 2 sets of power and grounds in back as well. sexynesssssssss

Well I just got my battery from somebody on here that was selling them and I have to say I am pretty sure its no longer usable. The terminals are pushed in a good two inches and the plastic housing around them is pretty badly cracked. I can see the stuff inside of it as well.

I bought a Boss audio blx 3500m amp about a year ago when i knew nothing about car audio and just tried to buy the cheapest amp i could find. I've read that boss audio products aren't that good. Is this true and does this reputation also go with this amp. I'm just wondering because i had it hooked up to a Boston Acoustics g5 12" single 4 ohm and the sub made a funky slapping sound (not tinsel lead slap, those are fine) that i could just not live with. Could this be a problem with the amp.

i have found a shuriken on sonics. its like 70 bucks but i dont know if it is the right size for my amp, i have a 1200watt brutus. i will be adding hids and a smaller amp for highs. do you think this will work for a second batt in the back?......may be my post is not clear i have bad dimming problems from my sub. i was going to invest into a batt to help this problem and also do the big 3. i donot want to wham on my sub due to the fact i hear if it is not powered correctly it will damage my amp and sub. i know i do not have anything crazy so i thought a small batt would suffice the systems power needs. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?app=forums&modu…

hey everyone! i just finished building my first box today for my ssa icon and couldnt be happier. i bought the sub and amp used and i believe that the settings on the amp are off a bit. the sub hits the lows great (i tuned the box fairly low) but when it comes to even remotely high notes that should rattle my teeth out there is almost nothing there! and example is white girl but usda...it hits that low note like a champ but when it comes to the high one the door speakers are louder than the sub. i did some research and am thinking it has something to do with the low pass frequency and high pass frequency? also i have the gain turned all the way up...that was the only …

So spoke to some guys on Facebook, who go by the name of JS Ultimate Alternators haven't heard much about them and wanting to see if ill get a good buy or should i save a few $ more Anyone?
