I just purchased two eclipsee 88120 subs in a dual chambered custom box in which each chamber is tuned to 34 hz. The subs are dual 4 ohm, so they can be wired down to a 1 ohm load together. But, since the box is dual chambered, I would have to remove the ports and drill through the divider, which I would rather not do, to achieve this 1 ohm load. If I were to wire each sub down to 2 ohms at its own speaker terminal, filling both terminals, what would be the end impedance for both drivers?

Well i decided to change things up and bought a kicker Zx700.5 so far so good it looks amazing, here are some pics. now for the new sub, i was thinking skar...only time will tell lol...

hey everyone, i have an 18" fi btl and i was wondering what amp you would suggest? i was thinking about the Hifonics BXI 2010D, im running it at one ohm. also my buddy has a 10 farad power acoustik capacitor..are they any good? this is all goin into a 1992 Chev caviler..will a yellow top battery be enough of a upgrade or should i get a high output alternator? lastly, what does it mean to have a box tuned to a certain amount of Hz? is it like port size? I've had big systems before just none of them have been ported. any help would be appreciated a ton! why drive home drunk when you can fly home high! pce boys

So its been awhile since i have made a topic on here. So, i moved houses the past week and when i was cleaning out the garage i found a brand new alt my dad bought for his lumina that didnt fit. Would it be worth making a dual alt bracket and putting two stock alts in my truck? or is that just a waste of time?. I mean i already have the alt, so that was free, and i figured to make a dual alt bracket it wouldn't be to hard considering i have access to my high school metal shop. so the question is would it be worth making that or should i just buy a new alt?

i bought a saz 1500 and it didnt come with a bass knob.anyone have one that i can buy???

I have 2-12w6v2d4's and i just bought a saz-1500d. My question is will this amp blow my subs and also is there anyone on this board who has ran this setup? I'm thinking if i keep the bass on the amp down it will be ok am i wrong? Thanks in advanced for the help.

I am looking for different options so that I can price match and do some reviews. So let me know what you guys can think of. Also if you know the site where I can read up on the info on em would be great THANKS GUYS!

I'm thinking about buying a Fi Btl N2 and I was looking at amps and it seems like hifonics is a good brand from what I have seen and read. I was just wondering wether I should get the brutus or the hfi series. I need to run around 2000 watts. Both the Hfi and Brutus amps are class D and say they are used for subs. So I was just curious on what your opinions are.

just wondering what everone thinks about the kicker 10zx700.5 amp or kicker amps in general? its on sale at crutchfield for $320 free shipping and i was thinking about picking one up since i was going to purchase a four channel amp soon anyway and i am looking to downsize my sub stage(currently running a saz 1000d at 1 ohm and was planning on running it at 2 ohms) and i wouldnt mind having everything all in one any thoughts or comments welcome.

what's the difference between deka 8a31 & the deka 9831?

I went to Advanced Auto, their load test doesnt do ampers, 1st with car off all electric off: advanced auto print out battery test 12.82V measured 1256 CCA rated 758 CCA Temp 21deg F While stating: starter voltage 11.74V 0.0A time 625mS dipped to 10V running: Charging system test no load 14.62V ---A loaded 15.58V ---A ripple 37mV Went to O'Reilley's Load test 74A

I am in need of help. I have the sundown 3k and it has been working without any problems for a while now. I went to bump today and there was nothing so when I opened up the back it was in protect with the slight blue of the power light being on. I didnt do anything out of the ordinary and when I shut it off last it was working perfect. I took the backing off and there doesnt look like anything wrong but yet again I dont know nothing so it could be blown for all I know. What I have done as far as trouble shooting: removed RCA wires and turned on still went into protect Removed speaker wires but still goes into protect removed power wire and of course nothing happens Let me…

Does anyone know where I can find one or something like it?

Can i use a standard charger to charger an agm batt with slow charge. And do you think this one will work. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Schumacher-10-Amps-fully-automatic-or-manual-deep-cycle-battery-charger/_/N-2604?counter=0&filterByKeyWord=charger&fromString=search&itemIdentifier=181260_0_0_

Hello I am an amateur stereo guy in need of advise on setting my amp. I have the gain set to 21 volts on the front and rear of 4 channel with a 1khz test tone I have the gain set to 41 volts on the 1500d amp with a 50hz test tone Those settings were given to me by a friend My question is where to set the crossovers? the low pass/high pass filters the subsonic knob and the 2 push in buttons I currently have the front channel run on the crossover on the head unit set to 100khz with a 24 slope Rear channel is off on deck, and set on low pass on amp but not sure what the settings should be on the amp, the deck does not give me a low pass option on rear channel The sub is cur…

I havn't posted here in awhile since I was comfortable enough with the stereo setup I had in my Altima. But I just bought a new car and need some advice on whether or not I should keep the stock deck and run a LOC or if I should replace it with an aftermarket deck. A little background on the vehicle, 2007 Chrysler 300 with a sound package that gives me 8 speakers and an amplifier to run them. Three 3.5s on the dash, 2 6x9s in the front doors, 2 6x9s on the rear deck, an infinite baffle 8 inch subwoofer housed in the rear deck and a 368w amplifier. I kept the amplifier(sae100d) and subwoofer(z15) from my previous install, so they will handle the low bass. I don't plan on c…

Has anyone here ever owned or had experience with a Powerbass amp? I was looking at this and it looks to be a little powerhouse and they're claiming to be super efficient which would be a real plus since I'm looking to keep my stock alt. Any feedback is appreciated.

Im looking for a hu im not into the whole dvd players seeing must of them dont put out high output sounds if there is one let me know.

The system thats going into my 01 impala so far is a jl audio JX1000/1D amp as far as the speakers ive been looking at some ssa subs but i need to get the hu outta my way 1st. Thank you in advance.

so... i am going to install my sub and amp soon and im tryin to find some 1/0 ga OFC wire for a good price. i found this on ebay... its 50ft of 1/0 OFC for $49.25 shipped?!?! i dont think there is any way that anyone can get 1/0 OFC for less than $1/ft shipped. anyone tried this stuff? also, i was looking at the picture of the stuf. and if that is the actual product, that shit is like 80% jacket. so more like 8ga...or sumthin. ya kno? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-1-0-GAUGE-50-FEET-POWER-CABLE-WIRE-RED-OFC-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255defb30bQQitemZ160489779979QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo ^if this is junk (which it probly is..)... then the stuff below will be my next q…

I need 5 ANL fuse holders that supports 1/0 wire. The cheaper the better, any ideas?

I know almost everyone here has auxiliary batteries to push their systems, but how did you wire them up? Did you run an output wire from your alternator to the primary battery, then run another run to your auxiliary(s), or did you run wiring straight from the alternator to both? Anybody using a dual-battery isolator or relay system, or is it just a waste of time and/or expense? GM originally used a parallel wiring scheme for its factory dual-battery system, I'm just wondering if that is the BEST way. I don't want to have any adverse effects on the alternator. I just want to do it right.

Just thought I'd make a little thread for my new arrival! By the way, does anyone know when these guys were produced? There she is! Picked her up for around $57.00 including shipping off ebay. The seller claimed that it was in working shape and claimed that he/she had tested it before shipping out. After opening it up i'm a little skeptical, but then again I dont know a whole lot about boards. it just doesn't look as the brand new boards that im familiar with (go figure right?). Hopefully i can test it this weekend, but time is tight in my schedule. I plan on using it to power my alpine type r's i got from Swagger_Wagon! Time for more pics! Some are displaying some spots…

I love this amp, but there are two questions i have about it. I have it hooked up to a 15in dayton audio reference series RF 15", and this sub is 500w rms mind you, it is hooked up 4 ohms briged, for 2100w rms, and it just seems like it should have more power than it does. It gets really loud, and gets the sub warm if i let it, (only takes about 20-40secs full power, then it smells a little), but it just seems like that if it was doing rated power, the sub would just bottom out and blow in a matter of seconds, it is in too small of a box(about 2-3 cu ft, it needs 8-10 per sub, might be why it dont bottom out) do you guys think im getting full power out of this amp?? and i…

What is the benefit of buying a battery like xs over a standard car battery such as a diehard. May be a stupid question but i dont know much about elctrical so thanks to anyone who can help me out.

so say if someone was to buy 8 sa-8's and wants to wire them to 1 ohm... would it be easier to take 4, 4 0hm dvc subs, wire them to 2 ohms, and do the same with the other 4, then wire those positives and negatives to the positives and negatives on the amp? or is there an easier way of doing it? i may not even go with 8 sa-8's but if i do i want to understand how to wire up that many subs, because the most ive ever wired up is 2.
