Does anyone know where i can get a HO Alternator for a 99 dodge durango with 5.2 magnum engine? And what about bypassing the ECU Regulator in this Chrysler work of engineering genius?

Alpine Vpower M-650 I have seen this amp at bestbuy and on crutchfield for $250+ It is only 650 watts supposedly and not 1ohm stable So i am wondering is it over priced? am i missing something here? a hifonics amp is half that price and double the boom I am asking because my friend has one and we're trying to find a good 12" to put it on http://www.crutchfield.com/S-S36Z13yjYlN/p_500MRPM650/Alpine-MRP-M650.html

how much resistance is too much on a grounding point? Ive already read that under 1ohm is optimal but after doing some checks i'm just not going to get that in the rear in comparison to the front. my lowest reading in the back was between 1.8-2.1 Is that good enough? My next question is on the power wire. I'm using the rear battery as a distro for my amps. measuring from front to rear then from amp to the the end of the wire is normal. but when i connect all to the battery the rear battery and measure I'm getting 30+ ohms on all connections in the rear even on the wire that is coming from the front battery. also this occurs on both ground and power wires. the battery is …

Does anybody have any idea where Sundown Audio amps are made ?? t Thanks.

any 1 use these amps and which one puts out more power http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_25297_Planet-Audio-BB1400.1.html

I'm looking at the DLS RA 10 and RA20 to power my IDQ12v3D4 and CXS62 6.5" comps. How do the 125.2 and 1000D compare to the DLS in terms of clean power and features? Thanks

is it bad to run your amps during the winter

Hey, guys. I could really use to help. I have a side by side with an audio system consisting of a tiny Bluetooth “head unit” with a strange DIN audio output, a 4 channel amp, 4 6x9s, and a 10” subwoofer. (Made by Pro Box). All this stuff is in the roof of the vehicle. I want to add another subwoofer to the system. How can I add another amp? I’m attaching photos of the head unit, amplifier, and a cable that I think might be my solution but I’m not sure. I believe the mini din wire is the audio output from the head unit and that there are no red and white RCA cables. I could be wrong. I have not torn into the roof enclosure yet. If someone has knowledge of t…

I have an aftermarket Pioneer HU (AVIC F900BT) and it has a sub control level (from 0 to 6) and bass boost (0 to 6). Would having a bass knob make any difference or is it the same thing as the bass boost on the HU?

i've had my system hooked up for several months now and just decided to add a rockford 360 line driver. i hooked it all up with the remote wire to the rockford 360 tied in with the remote wire to my amp. as soon as i started turning it up my amp went into protect mode. so i took i guess at that me adding the remote wire to my amp did it. so i moved the remote wire to one of my secondary batteries just to see and it still throws it into protect mode. the voltage doesnt drop it will just go itno protect mode. any ideas or suggestions? just incase you need to know what i have system wise 2 18'' HDC3 audioque DC power high output alt 3 batteries in the back (2 kintik HC1200) …

What's a good low pass cross over for my MIDs so they don't play to high. Crescendo mp6's are what I will be using. And a mbquart onx 4.125

Being a RF employee, I get a chance to beta test some of the units that we have created this year. Right now, I am currently testing the Power T15004: 125 W X 4 @ 4 Ohms RMS 250 W X 4 @ 2 Ohms RMS 375 W X 4 @ 1 Ohms RMS 500 W X 2 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS 750 W X 2 @ 2 Ohms Bridged RMS It is 1ohm stable! It is pushing out a lot more than the rated power though...for example: 125W x 4 @ 4 ohms RMS...it is doing 300W x 4 @ 4 ohms RMS!!!!!) The current draw isn't too bad either...(I only have the amp running on 1 channel though.) From what the engineers are telling me though, it is drawing about 200-300 amps at MAX POWER. Here's the kicker: The total RMS (all channels combined…

Like the title says im trying to wire up my components. They are Infinity Perfect 6.1, and im trying to use a kicker kx 250.2 amp. I know I have to bridge the amp to get 4 ohms but every time I wire it up the amp shuts off at high volume for a few sec ds and then tries to kick back on. Some info: 0ga run from the battery to a distribution block From distribution block 4ga to Hifonics 1208 Brutis, 8ga to Kicker kx 250.2 Same size wire for ground to another distribution block and 0ga to frame 200amp alt. with big 3 done SO my question how do I wire this up so I know im doing it right, and what could be making the amp shut off?

So I have been browsing around for some decent amps to push 4 18" BTL's and cant make up my mind. Does anyone know if the Soundstream XXX-6500D amp is any good???

So here is my system so far: ID CTX65CS comps SAX-125.2 for the comps AQ1200D amp SDC2.5 12" sub Now i was told by the only good car audio place in town that the 9887 is the way to go. I read on here that there's really no reason to buy the 9886 (or anything at that level) and that the OP should either go up or down. I'm not planning on buying anything new, at least head unit wise, for a really long time so I don't want screw up. I really don't know too much about head units. I haven't even bought one....I have a sony xplod that came with my first car, and I still have it (its been about 2-3 years). But that HU just isn't gonna cut it anymore. I figure I'd be fine with…

well, I just replaced the alpine 7949 I bought I now have sony cdx-c90 coming... don't think I can do much better than this

Hey i am looking for something that can fit under my back seat. Needs to be thin and small. i found this but would like input to see whats out there. Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2 need 300 rms at 4 ohms. thanks for the help.

I don't know a ton about car audio and was wondering if maybe someone could recommend an Amp for the Mag 15" that I just purchased

I got a 9885 a week ago and was installing today. It's going into a 86 Mercedes so I connected everything temporarily to make sure the wiring was correct. After setting it up and running it for about 10 minuets the rear heat sink was to hot to touch. Normal? If not what might be causing this or do I need to return to BB?

ok, im going to be running a 15" FI BTL Ported at 33hz By a Hifonics Bxi-2608D(rated 2600W RMS) going into a 2000 Hyundai Sonata. Right now, im planning on upgrading the Big 3 Do i fuse that Batt to the Alternator or not? Doing the upgrade with 1/0 And running a 1/0 power wire fused at 300A to the amp, and Grounding it with 1/0... What is the MOST Logical and Cost Effective Mothod to Kepp it all in good standings...? Knowing that any of these methods could be inefficient for what im running, here we go... Capacitor? Second Batt? Higher Amp Alternator? Turn the Gain Down On the Amp? or anything else? please tell me what you think will be best and why the other suck balls …

So first if I have an 12" Xcon in a sealed 1.5 cb ft box where should I set the subsonic and lpf. And second what is the best deck with three sets of preouts for around 100$

I have been thinking about making some quality Big 3 kits, and just want to kind of take the forum's temperature about the idea. Ordering will be easy, simply give me the three lengths you need from mounting hole to mounting hole(for me, this will = terminal hole to terminal hole). Here's a rundown of the parts/process. 1) Wire being used will be the new black Audio Technix 1/0 CCA wire. 2) Terminals will be tinned copper to resist corrosion. 3) All wire/terminal connections will be crimped via a hydraulic crimper for a connection that will never wiggle loose or back out. 4) All connections will be finished with some black heat shrink tubing for a clean look. Do you guy…

I am running an saz 1500d and 100.4 and I have a stock 145 amp alt. I already have a red top optima battery in the oem spot but I need another battery for the back can I use another red top or should I get the yellowtop? will a red in the front and yellow in the back be ok because they are different?
