Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

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 just heard something weird from a tech at Hifonics. the reason i am not getting sound is because i have "stereo input RCAs" or something of that nature not "mono" ones... so now i have to buy a splitter that will connect to one of my old RCA cables that will be split in to two for the two inputs on the amp... if that makes any sense.... i find this weird because on my old RF amp it has matching colors for each of my old RCA cables which made it so i didnt need to buy a splitter... is this normal? i thought it would be straight forward red to white but i guessed wrong...or so i hope!

Is it possible for me to run my back door speakers directly off the head unit if I'm already using the rear RCAs for my front stage? I know some people don't like the rear speaker thing, but I have people in my truck all the time, plus I like it that way.

he sent it cause he knows I am a old RF amp nut, but here is the .pdf link >> http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/press/asset...25punchamps.pdf

my pioneer flip out had all of the preouts go out. I am looking for a nice headunit in the 300 dollar range. video is not necessary, but would be nice. I have a couple choices. I really like the eclipse cd-5000. I will not buy another pioneer. my other choice is a jvc kd-avx11 with a clarion eq to bump the preouts to 7volts. what would you guys do? I need higher voltage preouts and something that will sound good and last. I am going more for spl.

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

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

Hifonics BXi1606D - 1600w RMS x 1 ohm U.S. Amps XT-4000D - 1500w RMS x 1 ohm both are close in price but the us amps is considered entry level and the hifonics isnt not sure what do you guys think? using them on 2 12" RE SEs at 1 ohm heres the data sheet on the hifonics theres nothing really similar for the XT though

what about them....anyone with any experience? specificly....this one? lemme know...the sub is on it's way..it's needs an amp to push it!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

HI! My name is Bosco Ruiz, Iam from Nicaragua and I bought 2 TEAM RF 12" 2000 RMS Each sub.... I have a questions. Can I put 1 T20001 For each sub.?? I can not to put 2 T30001, Cause it is too expensive....I have only 1 T20001 but i could to buy another one for those subs. What do u suggest??

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?

Man ole Man... i love my new Memphis Mojo Amp... Its so prudy. Heres a pic of it, im gonna be running it at .5ohms so about 3kw. Here it Is.

the 2500 has two ground and two power inputs that both need to be filled.. how do i do this? getting a second ground is obviously easy, but how can i run a second power wire? do i just get a distrib block? i have a grand cherokee with a stock 160 amp alt. im gonna run 0 ga instead of the 4 i have now.. how do you think i will do as far as power is concerned? electrical risk? i was thinking about just getting a new battery, is it possible to just hook it up as my start up battery or am i better off to run it to the back.. im trying to save money so i would rather not run it back.

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.

Hooking up a second battery is something I've never done. Do I run a wire from the starter battery to the secondary battery. Or do i run a wire from my alternator to the secondary battery. What kind of fuse do I use? More than 1 on each end? Thanks

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…

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?

can you test voltage of RCAs with a DMM?

im going to purchase one now so which would be "better". this is one part of the upgrade im going to get 2 ssa icons d1 and wire each to half ohm so i need help choosing which one max looking for $500 on an amp.

I'll be running a sundown 1200D and a sundown 100.4D to a Fi BL 12'' and a set of hertz HSK 165's Going in a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. Big 3 will be done The battery that I have now is a Autocraft Silver.. It says on the top something like crank amps at 32 degrees is 935 The alternator that's on there is this: Think I'll be good, or should I get a yellowtop to put under the hood?

I just installed my new HU, it's a Pioneer DEH-P690UB (not the best in the world, but it gets the job done). It has a usb connection to hook up your iPod and other usb mass storage devices. My question is what brand/make of HDD works? I've already tried a few and they are a no go. Reason is I think they are requiring more juice then the usb cable can provide. So if anyone can point me in the right direction and stop me from wasting more time and money trying out different usb hard drives I'd really appreciate it.

i am looking for a new h/u.... ive been looking around for one with what i want and in my price range but just cant find one... any suggestions i am looking for a single DIN either 6.5" or 7" motorized unit with usb... in around the $500 price range

So i know hifonics isnt the best of companies, but ive heard mixed opinions about the 2008 brutus amp lineup as to whether or not it does rated power, I was wondering if anyone knows for sure what they output(specifically the 1608) or has any birth sheets/ done any bench testing. If not what do you think the bxi1608d does at 1 ohm and at 2 ohm, it claims 1600 at 1 and 1100 at 2...
