Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

I am looking to install a Sundown SAX1200D in my truck after I get the money up. My question is to run it at 1 ohm what all will I need to upgrade on my electrical besides the Big 3? If I need a larger or more batteries what size should I run and what should I run for the alternator?

Okay I am some what new to this forum. I have been reading it for quite some time now and see that everyone is pretty helpful. I have a couple of questions about the Fi Audio Btl 18. I see that it comes in dual 1 or dual 2. Well I have a kicker sx 1250.1 and it does about 1310 at 1 Ohm. I was thinking about getting another one and strapping them to power just one fi audio btl 18. Well from what I have read strapping the two kick sx 1250.1 amps together will give me a 2 0hm load which I unfortunately do not want but do you think I can connect either a dual 1 or dual 2 to the amps with out effecting the sub or the amps. I figured if anything it would effect the amp since I …

im looking for someone that has ever used a Quantum Audio 4000watt amp or any of the amps at all... im just wondering if that put out anywhere near the rating? thanks

I've been in the market for a new head unit with a screen. I can't get a double din so i would have to get a flip out. Multiple have people have told me to not get a flip out because of my subs. They said subs will greatly damage them. Any truth to this?

i was looking at epicenters and crossovers and i ran across this model which i think may be what im looking for..it give me the capabilities of a crossover and it also gives me the bass control knob where i can raise and lower the bass from the drivers seat which is what i was wanting from the epicenter..what do you guys think? http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=1254

i was wondering since you guys have a bit of experiance, but i have a ford windstar 1996 with a Alpine 9816, was was wondering should i upgrade? cause the am getting attracted to the NEW sony's with Tilt and the Kenwoods with Tilt. would it matter if i changed? make a difference in quality or sound? if so any recommendations on a good HU with tilt.

what battery should i get for the sundown x series ??

I just got a Denon DCT A100 and it didn't come with a manual or anything. I went to put it in and i saw that it has a few extra wires that I don't know what to do with. They are labeled as light, acc, aux in, and p. ant. What do these need to be connected to? Also, will I be able to use the same dash kit that I used with my old Pioneer HU?

finally got my wires ran and amp hooked up now all i need to do is find somewhere to put the crossovers for my component set. there really isnt any room behind the door panel, would they be ok behind the kick panel (guess this is what its called)? there is just barely enough room for them but they fit. this is where im thinking Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Since I have them I may as well post some internals of one of my new toys. Everything looks bigger than my old US Amps USA 100

anyone know if its legit, does it do what it says?

I have a 110amp alternator and I hope to get a sundown 2500d amp. If I were to get http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/XS-Power-D6500-Battery.html would I get by? Im willing to get two of them if necessary. I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze and idk if there is any alternators on the market for this car. So would simply upgrading battery's allow me to run this amp fine?

Hi can anyone help, I have a kicker sx900x2 amp which drives one L7 15" sub what is the best amp setting I could used to achive the best result? ray

I'm in need of either a 2 or 4 channel amp to drive my 6x8s and 8" midbass speakers. I'm only used to mono sub amps so this question may seem silly. My concern is I want to set a High and low crossover for the midbass. A range like 80 to 250hz while the 6x8's play 250hz and up. A) Do 4 channel amps allow you to set a high and low x-over at the same time? B) Can I just use a 2 Channel amp and buy passive crossovers that will send 80-250hz to the midbass and 250hz and up to the 6x8s?

I'm going to buy my gf some components because the speakers in her car sound really crappy and bugs the hell out of me. I need some suggestions on some good sounding 4 channel amplifiers that can be purchased for less than 300. Can either be a authorized dealer or ebay. Any help would be appreciated.

im starting a new build for the GF's new car, its a 07 Jeep Commander. she wants to keep the stock deck and speakers, so im gonna run a LOC. Now would adding a Line driver help at all, or does the LOC doom me. im not looking to add processors or anything really, she just wants some bass. Setup will be Sundown SA 12 in 2.25 cu ft @ 36 hz and MTX te-601D amp

Hi everyone, I need some help tweaking my humble system lol. I have a JVC KW AVX820 http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/macuser74/The%20Bitch/DSC09965.jpg?t=1271260441 kicker 08ks6502 Component system with two woofers, two tweeters, and two crossover networks Symmetrical 12dB/octave high-pass-12dB/octave low-pass crossover/protection network with 3-position tweeter attenuation 75 Watts RMS (150 Watts peak) power handling with 4-ohm impedance 35 Hz-21kHz frequency response 2 Kicker 07cvr124: 12-inch CompVR Subwoofer with 4-ohm impedance Injection-molded cone with 360-degree back bracing and aluminized coating; ribbed Santoprene surround 400 Watts RMS (800 Watts peak) …

I am thinking about beefing up the charging system in my ride. I have a 03' 1.7L Civic, and my amp is capable of 2500Wrms. Big three is done in 0AWG. Eventually, I would like to have a HO Alternator and multiple battery setup. What should my first step be? I feel like I should save up and get the HO Alternator first, as additional batteries, or a deep cycle battery is only a temporary solution. I have been considering purchasing a Yellowtop to put in the trunk for now, and moving it up front later after getting the HO alternator and a dedicated deep cycle for the trunk. I don't really use my system too often, but when I do I like to play it full tilt. Would my whimpy stoc…

whats a good 4 channel or a 2 channel amp i have alpine type r speakers or should i just get new speakers while im at it too? need some help

Hi all, am in search of either of the above stated amps. I would prefer the Sundown but am very open to the Soundqubed. A perfectly operational used amp is what am looking for. My current budget it $250. PM me if you have one available. Thanks

like the title says. i need a 2 channel amp that puts out 150 watts at 4ohms. any suggestions guys?

Anyone remember these? RFX8250? The major HU boner from a year or two ago? Anyway, I bought one on sale from Sounddomain and have been using it for maybe a year and a half. The other day, the aux input suddenly decided to stop working, and I don

One of the big things that changed while I was gone from car audio is the 4volt plus rca outputs from head units. My situation is I really want to use an Alpine 7904s or 7903s as my source. These units do not have high voltage line outs but can an Audiocontrol Three.1 fix that for me or is there a better way? Pre-Amp Line Driver: Amplifiers require a high voltage input signal (generally 2 to 5 volts) to operate with maximum dynamic range and the best signal-to-noise ratio. On the other hand, typical source units only produce 1 to 2 volts, if your lucky. In a system where the source unit is located in the front of the car and the amplifier(s) are located in the rear, the…

I've had about 3 of them and l loved each one the same, I've had alot of big amps and this lil puppy is the only one that starts to smoke the coils on my DDs within mins of serious play, not enough to blow my 9515s but if you ever need a small amp that puts out a REAL 1500-1800 watts D300hc is the only way to go for 250-300 bucks the only down side is that it does NOT have a subsonic filter and me and other guys like me that loves the sound of a ported enclosure , that comes in handy.. just bought me another one for 80 bucks (blown)

I have a kicker l7 2ohm, its wired for a 4ohm load, so should i pick an amp with 750w RMS at 4ohms? does anyone have some suggestions? Thanks
