    I have this amp and i will post a review soon but as of right now it is even better than what i expected it to be. The gold look it had in the picture scared me but in person its kind of brass gold and looks awesome. I wired it to my fi btl 15 at 2 ohms just for fun and it is awesome it puts out crazy power and whats even better is it does it without pulling a lot of current. All of this was on a stock electrical and it was pounding the hell out of the btl without any sort of voltage drop.This amp is worth every penny. Now i only need there 10004c 4 channel amp and I'm all set. :)

    I would say its worth every gold dollar ;)

    Almost makes me want to slap an /////Alpine sticker on my truck lol

  6. Damn.. i'm going to take it apart now, i'll take pictures to life up the thread a little.

    LOL good stuff. Would you like a wiring guide to make sure everything else is connected right? You know make sure your speakers arent out of phase and what not? Just need to know year, make and model of the vehicle.

    Yes, if you don't mind. I already have it apart. Uploading pictures now.

    Here you go pal, hope this helps....

    I have an orange wire unconnected, i remember hooking everything up and not remembering where it goes so i left it undone.

    I also have a black wire unconnected.

    Orange should be where your yellow wire goes, but if that wire is bad (reasoning for running a new wire) then you need to just cover it up. Black should ground,.......should.

    Wait, i don't follow.. Is the yellow wire coming from the truck bad? or the wire coming from the head unit bad?

    Do i change the orange with the yellow or not?

    Cover what up?

    :puzzled:

    EDIT: Also, there is a black wire from my head unit that isn't connected.. Should i ground that (guessing it is a ground wire)

    Also, what should i do about the black wire coming from the truck?

    Ok. The yellow wire from your kenwood needs to be connected to a constant 12 volt wire (stays hot all the time). The orange wire in the vehicle should be the constant 12 volt wire, but it could be bad or a fuse could be blown for that wire. You mentioned someone ran a new hot wire from the battery to the radio......this wire...whatever color it may be needs to be connected to the yellow wire on the kenwood.

    The red wire on the kenwood needs to be connected to a wire that cuts on/off with the ignition key. The "factory" vehicle wire should be yellow.

    Yellow wire from kenwood to batt wire

    Yellow wire from truck to red wire from kenwood

    Correct?

    Yes. Correct. That should fix your problem as long as all the wires are good. Hope this helps....im going to bed. lol

    I'm rewiring them now... laptop + wifi FTW!

    I'll see whether it works ina sec

    thank you 4runner!!!!!!!

  11. Is this your first sub set up? If so, you may think you don't want too much bass but when you have and feel the bass in your ride... when you have the power to have bass at anytime you want.. it does (to some people i've talked to about this) turn into you wanting more bass.

    A good friend of mine told me the same thing. Go with 2 12's! You are going to want more anyway! I just don't want to overpower my mids and highs. I've been in vehicles where all you hear is the bass, this is NOT what I want! So say I have to 12's what is the difference between turning down the gain on the amp to the sub and actually turning it down on the deck? BTW to answer your question it's not my first sub setup, I have 1 memphis audio 10 right now but I want more then that obviously.

    I have never heard your front stage nor the sub stage you are asking about, but.. i wouldn't worry too much about over powering your front stage. I don't know if your H/U has EQ settings, like rock, pop, top 40, natural, etc etc but these settings, (EQ settings) will help you balance your audio equipment so nothing "over powers" anything.

  12. Thanks guys!! All great ideas!

    CadillacMatt -- i love that idea in your set up

    Cablguy184 -- A+ man, looks great and clean and those purple amps look beautiful on tan.

    lithium -- I love that you can hide all the mess and make your system look clean "powered by air"

    Mynameismcgyver -- i can't really understand whats going on there lol looks clean but from that angle i'm dumbfounded

    Mac N Cheese -- Sexy!
