So I stayed home sick from work, Tues/Wed and I built an enclosure. Go to Car Domain and look up the build here; http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3007534 or try the link below Enclosure Photos SO the 2 subs are these, each sealed in a 1.268 cu ft enclosure and both facing backward in the trunk of a Toyota Camry, All thanks to Jason @ Cadence. Cadence 12 SE SOLO BEAST DR, SPECIFICATIONS: Voice Coil: 2.5" Impedance: 2 Ohm Dual Coil Power Handling: 600 Watts RMS / 1200 Watts PEAK Magnet Size: 90oz. Xmax: 1.12" Full Stroke Frequency Response: 20Hz - 500Hz SPL @ 1w/1m: 87dB Mounting Depth: 6.5" FEATURES: Mineral Filled Polypropylene Cone. Oversize Butyl Rubber Surroun…

FI BTL 15" dual 2 ohm, wired to 1 Rockford t1500bd The birth sheet wattage is 1700, so after calculation the voltage output should be 41.23. I tested with a dmm to find the voltage and at this level the sub is not as loud as a btl should be. also the amp gets to this 41.23 volts with no punch eq, and very little gain. could anyone explain this because this sub should take all the power of this amp and then some but is not sounding like a btl right now. with twice the voltage output the sub still sounds good, is loud, but the amp gets extremely hot.

Sears has a nice battery sale going on right now. 25% off til August 23 (while supplies last).

ok, if i bought about 20 Feet of KnuKonceptz 1/0 Gauge Power Wire and 6 Directed Electronics 63205 1 / 0-gauge Ring Terminals would that be all i need to do the BIG 3?

Looking to possibly upgrade to 2 15" zcons and was looking at the bc5500. Just wondering what kind of electrical people were running to these. And how the felt about that amp. I have a 320 amp DC alt with 2 yellow tops in the back. I think I should be fine but can add more yellow tops if needed.

I just switched out my old Kenwood subs and 500 watt amp for 2 12 in icons and a bc2k and there is almost no output from the subs. I didn't change any settings on the head unit and I double checked the wiring they are wired to 4 ohm so I should see 700 watts. The amp is on and not in protect. The bass is so quiet that the factory speakers are louder. Anybody have any ideas on what could be wrong?

hi ok right now i have my 2 hifonics brz2400's hooked up daisy chained... 1 set of rcas from the cd player to the input... then another set from the output to the input of the other amp... then same way with the remote... now i know you can link/strap these amps together... i was wondering will it make a difference if i decide to strap them together instead of daisy chaining them... will it give it more power or just be the same ??

So i just put a new battery on my wifes yukon like 6 months ago...and i turn it on now and the voltage drops very rapidly..i turn on just the switch with the truck off and the voltage goes from 12.3 down to 10.6v is it the battery or is my alternator not charging it right? Its the stock 160a alt...

as title says im looking to buy a Rockford Fosgate T2000.1bd if anyone has one laying around or can find me one on a LEGIT internet website please let me know! all the help is appreciated!!!

my alternator has 110 amps and i have a sundown saz2000d and getting the xcon...yah.. gonna get a beefier bat in the front and a decent size in the rear. how many amps u guys putting out on your alternator and how many watts u pushin out of your amplifier?

Was looking around the pioneer site and I came across THIS man it looks sweet I cant wait to get it and replace my 880 PRS. Looks like it going to be a nice deck for SQ and wont need any external processing. The HIGHEST quality components, the best Ipod set up to date, ahhh you get it... just read about it

i noticed that when i turn my system up (1 kicker oldschool zr240 and 1 solo x 10) that the amp will give the sub a good amout of power for about 10 seconds then will lose id say a quarter of the power it had and stay that way. could this be becasue my alternator is not giving the amp a steady voltage??? i have all stock electrical right now with 4 gauge wire and the big 3 done. what do you all think?

What do you think of these prices and do you know of better prices. clicky----------->><((((*>

I'm looking into getting one Fi team 18 sub. Will 2 rockford fosgate t2500bdcp amps be too much power?

i havnt bought the subs so it can be either for a dual 1 or dual 2? they rms 2000 each so something around that was looking to spend about $1000 for amp would be better if its like $750 but dont think thats possible for a good new amp. thank you in advance

I'm swapping out my clarion 785usb for a nexus 7 tablet (source) with a pair of 2x4 mini dsp for processing. This set up is a 3way + sub. What i would like to do is set the tablet volume to max and then run a volume control potentiometer to control the master volume out of the source (tablet). Additionally, i would like to control the subwoofer level semi-independently. What i mean is that the master volume would control all the channel (including the subwoofer) but a secondary volume control will be used between the minidsp and subwoofer amplifier. So this is something like what i was planning to use, http://www.amazon.com/Axxess-AALC-Remote-Level-Controller/dp/B003FPD…

im sure the SS is better, but for a little more or around the same, i can get the 4 power acoustik a3000db's. anyone mess with these? what kinda power do they do? its either 4 of those or 1 ss xxx10000. theres no way im gonna get 10k w outta it though becuase thats at 16v. im gonna be running 1 300a alt and most likely 4 odessey pc1700s. more if needed... opinions? or possibly hifonics maybe? how are the new model hifonics(the ones that are black) i remeber hearing lots of problems about the old ones like the bx1000d's that they would break... help a fellow out VJ

its wierd. when my aunt found out that i was into car stereo, she told me her brother bought out and now owns USamps. how are they?? what is the reputation of usamps? from the looks of it they look mighty fine! http://www.digitalcaraudio.com/id59.htm

I'm considering the option of adding a small battery to the back to help with voltage. From searching around I seem to find one style of wiring it up. I was under the impression that I would need to a whole new run of wire from the front battery to the back. Which would result in 2 runs of power wire going front to back. This is something I don't want to do. On the other hand, like the picture below, it seems I can wire it as such: A single run of power wire from the front battery to the positive terminal of the battery in the trunk. From that positive terminal another run of wire goes to the amp. Then the rear battery and the amp are both grounded in separate locations.…

I need a nice sound quality amp that will get crazy loud and sound good doing it too. i am building a wall in my mountaineer. i was thinking a t8004 or t15004 by rockford. it does not have to be the best damn sound quality but something decent. any suggestions?

So like the title says, im looking to buy bout 50ft. of 1/0 power wire. Which brand should i go with? Have been looking at stinger hpm, knu kol fleks, kicker, welding cable but not sure what size and if its even good for car audio, and shok. Going to be running approx 3.5k watts of power from it.

ok my brother is doing an spl build (one sound stream xxx-15 quad 1.2ohm coils) and we have a bugit of $600-$800 for amps and we want around 7k-8k in wattage and we were thinking 4 of these http://www.amazon.com/Hifonics-Hfi2000d-Amplifier-Designed-Dissipation/dp/B003PSAQXA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1 or 2 of these http://infiniteelectronix.com/soundstreamdtr13400dd-tower3400wattrms5ohmclassdmonosubwooferamplifier.aspx or this http://www.amazon.com/Lanzar-OPTI8000D-Optidrive-Competition-Amplifier/dp/B0037YZLMS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311341969&sr=8-1 what do yall think for price and rms watts which one

Ok. Got a brand new Audiopipe aqx-1800d (NOT the popular AP series. The new "better" ones.) It's in a less than optimal install which consists of 4-gauge wire that's only fused for 80 amps and just an upgraded starting battery. I set the gains pretty low and it was just fine. No voltage drop or anything. Then it sat in the car overnight exposed to the elements (read: heat) and all kinds of crazy shit happened. It kinda falls asleep at low volume, and by that I mean it cuts off completely no protect light. If I play it loud and it heats up it cuts off then too, with no protect light then either. It seems like it comes back on when it cools off but it just cut off again an…

here is what i am trying to run: (2) dayton rs1800 7" mid bass, (2) cdt es-04 4" mid range and (2) cdt tw25s. i want to crossover the bass at 800 and below, mid range 800-4000hz and the tweets 4000-20000hz. any ideas of a crossover or company that has the capability to run at these points. i have been looking at the 3sixty and some of audiocontrol's products. my h/u is an alpine 7897 and the amps that i have are zx650.4 and a 100.2. they will be put in a towncar. any feedback is appreciated.

I was just wondering what are you guys's thoughs on the following brands of amps. US Acoustic Memphis Hifonics MA Audio Infinity And wich one would you trust the most.
