hi, i have 2 sundown sd1 v1 12" and i am thinking about using them until i can get enough money to buy to system i really want so if i can limit how much i spend the better. anyway i already have a sundown sax100.2 that i was going to use to power them but the problem being that it does not have a subsonic filter on it. and i was wondering if i could get away with using my alpine 9887 crossovers and my sax100.2 crossovers and bandpass it, if that would ok an ok alternative.

I was reading about the PG tantrum 1200.1. I have a 13w7 in a prowedge box. Im gonna wire it in series to push a 3ohm load, would this amp be efficient for that setup? The amp I believe is 2 ohm stable, i hear its much easier to use a 2ohm stable amp rather than finding a .5ohm stable amp.

cant afford car audio batts till end of summer but have 4 batts with 1100 cranking amps and 5 with 800 cranking amps with 270a ho alt , are all these enough for 2 bc3500s strapped to 2 ohms. big 3 and 3 runs pos and 3 neg front to back all 0 gauge

I was just wondering if anyone has used or seen this amp? I just came across it and seen its a fairly small amp and was wondering if it would be good for running my mids and highs. Here's a link http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43536_Pioneer-PRS-D800.html Let me know what you guys think.

I'm adding a second battery and want/need to get a battery isolator. The battery is an XS XP750 AGM Battery Power Cell and I'm getting it because I have a 160 amp alternator, NVX JAD 800.4 and Rockford Fosgate T-1500bd. That RF amp pulls 180 amps max (I don't typically listen to sine waves) so I need a 200 amp isolator, correct? Would there be any harm getting the 500 amp isolator because (believe it or not) I can find them cheaper (and in stock) than the 200 amp models.

tested my new spl meter and got my 155 (155.7) and then click nothing, one amp is lit blue and the other is red, is there a way to reset it, i wired them down to .5 ohms strapped, should i rewire them back to 2 ohms or what can i do to get my bass back. Its the master amp that went into protect. PLEASE HELP.............

It states 1300 @ 2ohms at 14.4v. I currently have an MD2D on my RL-p 18" @ 2 ohms, but it's only getting around 800 rms. I was thinking of swapping them out, but i'm not to sure on the rated power for the Infinity.

I am in the market for a new alarm with remote start, this will be going in my mustang. I'm going to have it professionally installed by a friends shop. Currently What I am looking for is an alarm with remote start, two way pager, a decent range 1000-1500ft, 2-Way remote with tone and vibe modes. I am looking into the Avital 5303, but I would prefer a remtoe that actually includes all the buttons into one but is not exactly required. I am looking for some suggestion and reviews. Price I would like to hit would be around 200-300 for the alarm its self. Thanks.

A carry over from Fordexplorer.net Charging System Basics: The electrical system in an automobile is said to be a 12 volt system, but this is slightly misleading. The charging system in most cars will generally produce a voltage between 13.5 and 14.4 volts while the engine is running. It has to generate more voltage than the battery's rated voltage to overcome the internal resistance of the battery. This may seem strange, but the current needed to recharge the battery would not flow at all if the charging system's output voltage was the same as the battery voltage. A greater difference of potential (voltage) between the battery's voltage and the alternator's output volt…

I have a 400 watt class A/B amp running 2 10's right now. When I'm listening to rap music, after an hour or so, the amp shuts down from overheating, even if I don't have the volume up too high. Should I switch to a class D amp or would it not be worth it? I listen mostley to rap, but listen to rock and country too, I like to have acceptable SQ.

Anyone else seen them floating are Facebook? http://www.twistedsoundscaraudio.com/?redirect=false

i have a ram mega cab and a sundown 2000d amp. what is the best 12in sub.

As the title says this will be about the older fosgate 1000.1bd. Im not sure i understand the class"BD" thing? how does that compare to a regular just class D amp? Also im going to have to double check but im almost positive the SSF on the amp at its lowest setting is only 50hz, can that hurt me at all as far as sub performance? i have a box tuned in the 33hz area. just looking for any kind of technical answer to help understand this amp better and decide if it needs to be put up in the garage and replaced lol.

Hi there, Can you guyz tell me whether there are other brand (amps) that has "Time Alignment" feature besides ZAPCO's DC Reference? Thanks for your help, Kelvin

i just intall my some what done system and its sounds ok no rattle at all, you guys might say wow great but there is a problem i cant crank it up i get a major voltage drop i did the big 3 already. I have a kicker kx 2500.1 on 2 15's L5 at 4 ohms with a red top under the hood and they are in a crown vic 96 i believe the alternator is 130 amps. i have several things on mind buy another battery or buy an alternator svr battery http://www.svrbatteries.com/battery_page.php?bid=25 kinnetik battery http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...rksid=p3907.m29 alternator http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/200-amp-Amp...itemZ7960517007 what will make it better any s…

i was wondering if i could power one rl-p 18 with an aq2200d. would i get the sub in d4 and wire it in parallel to get a 2 ohm load, (which is 1300watts ). or should i get d2 and wire it in series to get a 4 ohm load? (740 watts) the soundsplinter website says 500 to 1000watts.

basicly when i hook up the 12v source it cuts on without the rem connection and stays on, even if i conncet the rem. i'll recheck it in the morn, cuz its rainin, but yea.

who make a bass processor like the basscube

Which is better Passive or Active? After askin on other threads i figured out the difference, but not sure which one is best. All i can figure is Passive would be better because you can use one channel of amplification and get 2 or 3 way crossover, and have that one channel power 2 or 3 speakers. So = better use of power. For Active you need one channel for one speaker. so more power is required by needing more channels, but that give you more control, right? Will one sound better than the other?

So i recently got a pair of DC Audio Subs..1000rms/2000 max.... well i have been told that it since they are a pair of 2ohm subs that a mono amp will not push it to the amps max.. i am looking to spend at the most 350.. I would really apppriciate the help:)

Looking towards buying a new amplifier for my Fi BTL N2 sometime this summer and looking at my options. I can obviously do as much research on my own as possible but numbers are just numbers, Id like to ask people who have experience with these amplifiers and your opinions on what I should get. I have around 4 different amplifiers that Im currently looking at, all around the same prices. Dont really want to spend over $700 and will buy used if need be. 1. Sundown SAZ-2500D (used) or SAZ-3500D (Refurbished) 2. DD M3a (new) 3. Orion 2500D (Found one locally used) 4. Crescendo BC3500D (new) Any input much appreciated and also FYI, Im running a stock battery upfront, big 3…

i wonder if it will be ok with a 1.3 ohm load... a friend wants me to put three single 4 pr12's in his x-cab ranger, he already has the mtx....so what do ya think?? 1.3 close enuff to 2 ohm to be alright?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey guys, I have been searching high and low trying to find a bass knob for my Sundown Sae-1200d, and I cannot find one anywhere. Any suggestions as to where I can find one?

Just recently ordered 25 ft of 1/0 gauge from weldingsupply.com for what I thought was a good price. I just received the cable yesterday and Im slightly disappointed because its deffinitely on the skimpy side. Anyone have any experience with weldingsupply? Im just looking to see if you guys were satisfied with your order.
