Would two XS Power D3400's be okay to run that? I have high output 270 Amp dc alt. Or should i get two XS Power D3100's?

amp : sundown sae 1200d v2 vehicle : 95 gmc gimmy small one like blazer problem : set the gain by ear, right at half way, and when i have my 15s turned way up, maybe 30 secs amp will shut off but come back on maybe 5 secs, it only does it turned way up after 30 secs continuously slammin and volt may go down around 8 or so and jimmy went dead some of those times. so what can it be????? need extra batt in back or what makes it shut off?? when i fix the problem ill post a vid under video section, loudest cvr 15s ive EVER heard for just 2 lol

have no clue how to even start but am woundering how to convert my 12v to a 16v system ? what is all requierd i don't have a budget as of yet but i am also wondering how much aproximatly it would cost.

i was on egay browsing for an amp and came across this RE Audio XT-4000DE V2. seems like a solid amp and price under 350,but wanted to ask about it before i made a decision. XT-4000DE v2 Specifications: Number of Channels 1 Rated Power (RMS) 500W x 1 @ 4 Ohm 800W x 1 @ 2 Ohm 1500W x 1 @ 1 Ohm Total Power 1500W Dynamic Power 4000W Bridgeable No Efficiency (average) 86% @ 4 Ohm 84% @ 2 Ohm 76% @ 1 Ohm Variable Crossover Control Low-Pass: 40-250Hz, 24dB/Octave, Butterworth Variable Bass EQ 30dB Boost @ 45Hz Subsonic Filter 15-40Hz, 24dB/Octave Sig…

I'm running 1 Linear Power 5002iq to 1- 12" sub rated for 500 rms. Linear Power suggests a 60 amp fuse, 1 at the battery and 1 at the amp. The amp has 8 gauge power wire hardwired in to connect to. Do I need to run 4 gauge from the battery to a distribution block or can I get away with 8 gauge from the battery all the way back? Thanks

Just wondering where I should connect my stinger voltmeter.. I read some how-tos on it and it seems pretty simple but I haven't really seen a defined place to attach it to. Should I toss it on the front battery (under the hood) or in the trunk with the bat back there and wire it to the drivers seat?

What is the lowest ohm the sundown SAZ-2500d can drop down to and still be stable?

I was looking at ssa and found this amp the amp I was wondering what ya think about it

ok everything is hooked up right is there a setting on the headunit to turn the subs on or am i fucked

I'm looking to do the big 3 on my 98 expedition. I was looking at the wiring from alt to batt and there are 2 runs of wire. Both are fused. Either 150 or 175 amp fuses. Am I alright to run wire straight from the amp to the battery? Or should I replace wire from alt to the fuses then fuses to batt? I'd rather leave stock wiring there and then run a 4 or 0ga run straight over. Of course I'd just do the 2 grounds chassis to block, block to batt. Any have experience with a late 90s ford?

hey guys i hav $300 to buy an amp what can i get i need a deal

Not too sure what to think of these... 100ah batteries for 160 bucks? I'm assuming that build quality isn't there compared to other high end battery makers, would they even be worth using? I'll probably be needing some backup electrical sometime soon and don't have a ton of money.

My dad got a used 05 Mustang back in the summer, and it came with a Eclipse CD4000 deck in it. I got him a pair of Alpine Type R Componant Speakers for Christmas. I was planning on installing it for him, but he insisted on haveing the car audio shop I got it from to install it (yeah, he don't trust me tearing apart his car). Anyway, I also had a Pioneer 2x60 Watts laying around to power the componants, and a Massive 1000 Watt amp and a 12" Adire Brahma. I took the Pioneer and Massive amp along to have the shop install those too and feed the wires for me, so I have the sub amp ready for the Brahma. So, yesterday, I stuck the Brahma into one of my old boxes (a sealed…

Ok guys i drive an 02 chevy cavalier and i had a weak xplod amp with 2 old RF H 12's or whatever and i sold them and bought a RF BD1500. I'm about to buy a Fi BL 12 and i have a pro working on my box but what should i do electrical wise?? i've been told like a 40 farad cap on the stock system would be good and ive also been told i need a second battery and better wiring. Which do i need? Can someone please help me??

Guys where can i find a good alternators for my 2001 dodge neon, something good at a reasonable price...some numbers would be nice too

Hi guys! Its been awhile since I have last been on here. So after many tests of swapping speakers/ crossovers, checking RCAs it comes down to my amp has an issue with the speaker outputs on the left side of the outputs only. The right side works completely fine after swapping speaker wires from left to right. There is sound, but its very fuzzy/dull and almost sounds blown. Can this easily be fixed maybe? Maybe from a member on here? The amp is an Orion 600 watt 2 Channel amp. The amp was maybe purchased in 2007/2008 brand new. Maybe just the age and daily wear and tear its time for a new one? Thanks guys!!

Okay, so I just hooked up all of my system last night. It worked flawlessly all last night, and this morning. So today, after work, I got in my car, turned on my radio, and my amp and everything turned on and my sub was playing, but I now have no music. At all. I know this is probably a n00b thread, but please help! I'm dying without my sub lol

Hey guys, The system in my 2011 Ram is driving me crazy... Here is what is going on. At high volumes the draw from the amplifiers is kicking my trucks ass. The dash lights are dimming, the voltage drop is causing my HID lights to kick on and off, and I'm pretty sure that the PCM is trying to compensate by increasing the voltage regulation from the alternator. The voltage regulator is controlled by the PCM. It is not built into the alternator. When it is playing loud, it seems like the PCM is kicking the voltage up to about 15.5v according the my Bel radar detector voltage display and the HI VOLT warning it keeps flashing and beeping at me. The truck has a 180amp alternato…

so i have looked EVERYWHERE and i cannot see to find a fill kit for a 1999 for taurus with digital climate controls, it is drving me crazy a buddy of mine need this last thing to finish his system and cannot see to find it anywhere PLEASE help me

Presently I own two Coustic 505DR's, three Coustic 510DR's and one Soundstream Rubicon 702. All pretty sweet old school amplifiers (if I do say so myself ). However, I'm very seriously contemplating selling them all and picking up three or four Rockford Fosgate T3002's. I'm wanting to compete in IASCA 0-600w class. With the RF's, I would have potential power of well over 2kw, yet still remain in the 0-600w bracket. With my current amps, I would be pushing the limit of 600w with even two of them, and I wouldn't have much more actual total power output than that 600w. Plus the RF amps are 1ohm/channel stable, were as the Coustics are not.....so the RF's really have fut…

Okay, my brother picked up a JL Audio 1000/1v2 This thing has so many filters/settings it's very different from my sundown. What do they all mean? I've never messed with an amp with all these kind of settings. "Q" Center Freq Infrasonic Freq Filter Freq Mode/Slope -- Off/12/24 Input Voltage -- Low/High Input Sens

Looking for an amp that is at least 750watts rms for a kicker L7. What brand is better Hifonics or Soundstream? The amps that i am looking at from the 2 company's SOUNDSTREAM PCA2.760 2 CHANNEL 760 WATT AMPLIFIER NEW AND HIFONICS TXi7506 750W MONO AMPLIFIER AMP TITAN TXi 7506

I'm on the search for an affordable amp that will do rated power. Looking for 2000w @ 1ohm. It will be pushing hopefully a pair of Icon 15's or z15's. Electrical: 200amp h.o Alternator Optima yellow under the hood 1/0 Big three. Also on the search for a decent battery to add to the back if need be.

I am wondering if these amps will run on a 16 volt setup and what kind of power can be expected out of them at this voltage at .5ohm burps. I am wanting to run 4 duel 1ohm XS15's with 4 of the 3000.1's in my CRX.

Hey fellas.... Just got this HU installed the other day... Lovin' it soo far.. Some questions: Slope - I have the option of 6db, 12db, or 18db for the subwoofer... Currently I have it at 18db with a cutoff of 100hz ... Good/bad? Ideas? I don't have a great front stage so I thought going up that high would help with overall sound... On the speakers I have them crossed at 125hz with a 12db slope instead of a 6db since I don't want the speakers to sound like crap going below that 125hz... Am I doing this correctly?? Last thing I need to ask... This HU has a voltage read out for the battery???? WTF hugesurprisewhenIsawthisinthedisplay!!!! Is that a true voltage reader or ina…
