Even tho its not audible I dislike company's who rate there amps like that. Not a mmats fan personally but just goes to show homework should be done before purchasing an amp.

What a name for an amp....

You gotta give more info than that. How in the hell is anyone going to be able to tell you anything. What vehicle? What kinda power? What do you want to accomplish? Give some details if you want a useful answer

Bump. Any offers on trades? $130 to DC and this will fit your vehicle

Good question. Sure nick has answered it somewhere but I don't remember for sure

Invoice date is 2/8/12. I believe this has a 2yr warranty. Not 100% on how that transfers over if sold. Kills me to sale it.

I have a 250amp xp series DC Power alternator for sale. It has never been used. Invoice shows I ordered this feb, of last year. Planned to use it in my Malibu but money's tight and I'm not going so extreme with the Malibu after all. It was ordered to fit my 2011 Malibu V6. DC's website says it also fits a few other vehicles: DC quoted me $130+shipping to send it in and have it re cased to fit a different vehicle. But that's not something I want to do right now. I'm looking to ship it off for $500. Paid $652 I'm not necessarily looking for trades but who knows. Any questions please ask

I popped in that chat also. If I remember they were using cf caps till the plastics are back in..

Removed everything and reinstalled different subs. Charged battery after noticing low voltage, just hope the battery isn't on it's way out. Completely disconnected rear rcas and speaker wires. Problem seems to be solved. I ran it hard for about 10 minutes and everything is working as it should. I may of had the rcas mixed up and I know battery voltage was low. I checked all fuses front to back and everything was good. Thanks to everyone who offered advice I truly appreciate it.

Figure this could be part of my trouble

I'm not sure if the noise happens when the cars off. As of right now it's all unhooked and removed from the vehicle (subs and amps) I'm taking this Treo out and putting the 2 sa12s back in. One thing I noticed while unhooking it, I may have had the RCAs mixed up at the 4ch amp. I bought the knu rcas that are twisted together. It's a 4ch pair and it has 4 colors. Red black blue and white. I may of not had those right. I assume red and black are 1 set. But I didn't hook up the deck to see if the shop used them that way. Working on it now ill check back

That's a possibility I suppose. I bought this amp used maybe 2 years or more ago. One day it popped the internal fuses, I replaced them and never noticed anything again. I have a brand new crescendo bc2000 here I can swap it with but not until I sort out why my highs are acting up.

That is called shitty output filtering. When you tap the cone the coil is generating signal that is traveling back into the amp and is being looped back to the sub.So that translates to just a shitty amp or install?

Edit: video isn't working for me http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv278/smashedz28/487694D3-1802-40B1-8A82-86014295CFB4-3498-0000023D2A268FDE.mp4

Here in maybe an hour I'm gonna tear it down and put my 2 sa12s back in.

Another thing, as I stated I went on vacation. Vehicle sat in the driveway. I was able to listen to it for a few minutes with no issues. Sub played normal, highs didn't get all scratchy for several minutes. Then it started acting up. The more I mess with it the more I rule out burnt equipment (speakers and amps) and point at the head unit

Disconnected sub amp rcas and same problem. While I had it disconnected I tapped the sub cone and the sub started 'whining' high pitched sound. Tapped it a few times more and it stops. Wtf is that about. Car was still on and sub connected just rca's pulled.

That's my goal with my Malibu also.. Pretty tough with these damn cars.

This is terrible timing on my part. I've just left on vacation for about 4 days. My apology but please offer up advice. I'm not the best with a DMM but do own one. I know the sub is wired right I checked the ohms when I put it in and saw 1.2 at the sub disconnected. The rest I don't know till Tuesday. It was working nicely till recently, no issues other than trying to get a little more output from my sub. But sounded very clean. When I heard the sound my first thought was "damn I turned it up too loud and blew my comps" but listening more it wasn't just them it affected everything else. Which then made me think my head unit may have been compromised or what the shop installed for me may have been done sloppy. I'm terrible at removing interior panels which is why I had a shop do that part.

About a month ago I had a local shop wire my car and install a set of components/head unit in my 2011 Malibu. Basically ran all wires to the back for me to put my amps and sub stage in. I installed a fosgate power 400.4 for my forgate t2 components using the passive xo. Couple different sub setups but always the same sundown saz1500. Extra kinetik hc2000 in the back. As of yesterday I'm starting to hear crackling coming from the tweets at about mid volume. Kinda strange because this morning I got in there after sitting all night and I was able to lay into it a little with no problems.. For about 2 minutes then the crackling/fuzz starts coming from the tweets again. Figured I blew my shit..it happens. Especially with all the adjusting I've been doin. Out of anger I kept turning it up and I noticed the sub doesn't get any louder either. So the components basically start crackling/muffling. More or less stop getting louder and sound like shit. But the sub is ran separate why isn't that functioning properly. Everything is fine and good till about 25 on the volume. Last night I reset all head unit audio settings and went to the amps to make sure settings were good and I'm not seeing anything out of wack. Connections as far as visible ones (all amp and battery connections) are right and secured. Where do I go from here? If I blew my components then ill deal with it but no way in hell I'm gonna just throw another set in there and ruin those too. I need to find out what's goin on. I am heavy on my volume knob at times, just not sure why the sub is acting up. Thanks and sorry for writing a damn book here lol

Not sure what your into. Real estate type app I use for work ( just finding a houses sq ft) 'zillow' Speedtest from speed test,net is good for checking Internet speeds. I use the google translate at work a lot too lol. Amazon and Craigslist apps. Netflix comes in handy on down time. Mapquest is a good app for GPS and its free. As far as games just download the free versions before buying anything

I love my 80prs. One of the best head units I've used. I don't feel like I'm going to break it and has quite a bit of control

Should consider either building a smaller box or more speakers for that box. Not sure how the planet audio 3k performs but isn't that a little steep for 2 of those 8's?

Switched to 1 sub now. Box is a lot smaller and to be honest with only maybe 15 minutes listening time on it so far, my 12" Treo SSX hits just as hard as my 2 sa12's. it's all install not saying either one is better than the other but the extra space in the trunk has shown me something. Ill give it a few days and might plan on putting this Treo in its ideal box. Trunk cars suck, more specifically these damn malibus. My old Tahoe was a snap, trunk cars sure the hell take lots of work to get right.
