Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

ok so while i was looking around for a 4channel(still waitin on pm from flakko) and just for other stuff i came across this and the price looked really good and so does the amp so i wanted to ask you guys if you have seen this before.It doesnt give much info on the amp and i wanted to know like the signal to noise and the THD and all that good stuff.So any info would be good. http://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=1977918

How's it going guys, I'm looking into a little upgrade on my door speakers and I really need some help. Currently, I run Orion XTRs off of head unit power (herp derp). Obviously they don't get loud as they are not amplified, but I have a feeling that if amplified, they will sound like complete shit when cranked. I'd like to run something a bit more capable, but I just don't quite understand how it all works. Here's what I'm considering going with: 4 Selenium 6W4Ps 4 Crescendo SuperTweets First question: Will this be enough speakers to cover all frequencies produced in music? I've got my BTL covering the lower end, but am I missing a section of frequencies that would be lo…

I have made two schematics. The second one is revised and I think it should work. I also have a few questions. 1) Which is a better setup? 2)What size fuses would go in each fuse holder? the amps have a 150 and 500 amp fuse rating and the alternator is 260 amp.

hey guys, i was just curious of why stetsom amps are so pricy?? $560 for a 1500 watt amp??? like i said, just curious here guys. please do not bash

Im Looking At Upgrading My Electrical System Since It Will Be The Last Step Towars My New System. Electrical System will be supposrting an SAZ-3000D and a SAE-100.4. the alternator will be a HO once i buy one, Around 140-260 Amps i dont really know much about electrical systems and AH and all that i just want something that will suppost my system as well as my alternator could supply what i was wondering is would it be better to buy A.) 2 12V Tractor Batteries (Parallel) - $130 A Piece B.) 2 12V Kinetik HC 2000 Batteries (parallel) - $165 A Piece C.) 1 12V Kinetik HC 3800 Battery - $425

Well I have been talking about this and other head units on another forum but i want to get peoples opinions on this one. Eclipse CD7200 mk II Would you use this one for the price? If not which one would you go for? What do you think about it? On a scale 1 to 10 what would you rate it? If it could be out done by another head unit what is it (equal or lesser price)? If you would get a cheaper one, which one would you get? What is it missing? and last what are you guys using? I am looking for blue tooth and and iPod connection. I don't care about hd audio and all that stuff. All of this is going into a 2002 VW Passat without a Monsoon system. So the deck isn't quite a doubl…

yup, another VS thread, and yup this is getting old, I am sorry. Seems the more research I do, the more questions I have. So I want more power than I originally thought. crunch ground pounder 3000 pro, ap3000d, AQX-3500.1?

I picked up a 125.4D from my repair tech..never heard one but he said it puts out more than rated and sounds pretty clean. I will soon find out. Just curious the deal on the amps and company., Most of what I have seen is not that favorable but I dont know if that is the owner or the product. my tech is a engineer and he reverse engineered the amp and had good things to say about it. better quality that he has seen in a while.

how do the soundqubed amps perform quality wise? I'm thinking of buying one but need some feedback.

So I am looking for some help choosing an amp, but I need help because with my speakers I have the options of making ohm loads at either 0.86, 1.26, 1.5 or 3.43. I am looking to push a minimum of 900 and a maximum of 1200 watts continuous. My absolute price limit would be 250, but the lower the better, I'm actually looking for the cheapest that I can get away with while still meeting my requirements.

Im thinking about getting a clarion eq., and I was Wondering if its worth the trouble? I've saw a lot of installs and I don't see to many running them.

does anyone know about them. how well is there power rating

I jus bought 2 kicker comps 12s jus to have till i get my 21 in and when I put them in they sounded hollow and wouldn't play right. I had my friends jls in my car 2 days ago and they worked totally fine. I didn't change anything except put subs in. I called crescendo to see if my amp had blown and he said it must be a signal messed up somehow. The subs I know work becaise we hooked both sets in my friends car and they worked fine in his. What could be the problem?

I know you're not supposed to run more than one REM wire from the single one off of the head unit, but I'm kind of (read: really, really) crunched for time at the moment - it would just be a small component amp and the subwoofer amp.

Can someone link me to a tool designed to crimp terminals on a larger scale such as 1/0 gauge or give me a home remedy to doing it that doesn't require purchasing specialized tools?

Well the last couple days my "check charging system" light has been coming on so I went out today and my car is only charging at around 11 volts.. its driving and staring fine so I dont understand. I haven't had any audio in my car for months now which makes it even more weird. . Right now I have a 220 amp alt and just 2 of my batts in the car. Could this only be the alt messing up? Is there anything I can check before I swap alts?

what are some of the ugliest amps u've ever seen??were they ugly and dependable/underrated/efficient???or just plain ugly???my vote goes to this lil' gangsta!!!!!! Gangsta is here and it be bad-ass! The new Gangsta series from Crunch is aimed at the rap and hip-hop crowd and all those bad boyz who want to make a statement with their tunes: Hittin' hard and rollin' loud. Heat dissipation is one of the most important factors in amplifier design and Crunch

I have a alpine PDX F6 & amp; M6 and they have been working great since I installed them a few weeks ago. Yesterday I tried to make a call via bluetooth and it sent the F6 into protection. Turned the head unit on and off amp resets and comes back on, now I can not turn the volume up with out the amp going into protection. The bluetooth is what has me the most stumped. Any help on where to start trouble shooting would be great. Thanks

So I was changing out a CD in my P9 on Saturday and the HU motor to open up the face does not open all the way up. It opened all the way open and spit out the CD today. I have taken it apart and hit it with compressed air and checked, Ramos and I did not see anything showing wear.....any ideas?

Ran across this on the eBay and thought it looked like a great buy, especially for someone looking for a simple all in one solution for an active setup. The Zapco I5100 is a seven channel amp that is rated for 50wrms x 4, 25wrms x 2 and 400wrms x 1 all @ 4 ohms. By bridging the 4 channel section you get a rated 175wrms x 2 plus the 25wrms x 2 and the 400wrms x 1 and the sub section is rated 600wrms x 1 @ 2 ohms. In my mind the 2 x 175 would be great for a mid, the 2 x 25 would be great for tweeters and the sub section great for many subs on the market. It seems like a fantastic solution to simplifying an active setup as far as the amplification is concerned and at …

i was wondering if any one could give me some input on what they think good components are other than focal

I have read the amp setting tutorial on CA.com and it says to play a 60hz tone and set your gains to the AC voltage for your RMS. My question is wouldn't it be better to set the gains based on your box tuning because the amp puts out more power near box tuning to avoid clipping or would you still use a 60 hz tone? Like my box is tuned to 40 hz wouldn' it be better to tune my system with a 40hz test tone? Correct me if I am wrong, please and since I listen to rap I should use a -3db tone right? And just wondering does anybody know what db tones are used on Bass Mekanik Quad Maximus? Could I use that to set my gains safely?

i'm looking for the best quality. sound and build.

how are they any good type by them?

Hey i have a xcon 10 in my trailblazer and i am looking to put more power to it. I am currently running a cadence a7hc but the sub can handle a lot more power and i would like to be louder. I have it in a 1.1 box at 35 hz. I guess i need 1800-2000+ watts and would like to keep it under 400. Any ideas on a good amp?
