im not positive .. but i need a receiver to hookup my computer to a home theater setup right? what receiver is recommended for under $500 .. cheaper if possible, just want to get something setup, that can be amplified. i am thinking of 2 xti 1000s.

i have an awesome extra battery if you're needing one. send me a pm welcome to the boards

So basically hook the inputs to both + + and both - - of the amps?

Well amp went up in smoke yesterday. Won't have money for a week or two to get it repaired. This pucking sucks.

move your power wires away from the speaker wires

I didn't get AA from him but got my Alt within 3 days of paying. Will be buying from you in the future.

Nm im a stoner =]

What exactly is bridging? Sharing power between channels to add resistance?

Thank you, I did a run under the car, the cable is hidden away and pulled pretty tight, it hangs maybe 1/4th inch off the bottom of the vehicle which is not noticeable at all. I will need to pin it up still, any suggestions on what to use? I went under the car so I didn't have the wire under the carpet showing where the cable is. My 0/1 grounding is done only in the rear, it seems a little more difficult to replace the front grounding because the engines grounding cable isnt long enough for me to reclamp it with another 0guage wire. Is there anything to worry about here?

I am going to see what is easiest, if I need to drill at all, I will just run under the car and make sure there is hang. One reason for running under the car is to keep power wires away from speaker wire. It is also a lot easier to conceal under the car as well, 0/1 and bigger can get pretty hard to hide. Running under the carpet I imagine raises a good portion of the carpet, including around the cable.

no problems here either, i was worried at first, but every where i've read that isolators are just a waste of money

Must just be a personal preference then ... that little white girl is going to get the big black hose shoved in her weather she wants it or not!! lol Ugh... Duran, how do you like the crossfire amps?

Must just be a personal preference then ... that little white girl is going to get the big black hose shoved in her weather she wants it or not!! lol

You're the first person to say don't run it under the car lol, so we'll see, I have heard to run it under the car, but I feel exactly as you, and it's exposed to water and heat more so than the 4 feet in just the engine. Thank you for your quick response though brotha!

What's the disadvantages of running your power wire through the firewall? I already have a 4ga run that's keeping me from dropping volts, but want to make the run of 1/0 I have. I will obviously need to drill a bigger hole if I use the previous hole, and I'd prefer that over running under the car, but what are the advantages and disadvantages? The firewall is not as easily accessible as under a rear seat I am guessing.

i need now !! icon coils smell yummy but the taste is too spicy!!

SSA Icons are great subs, and they are up to par as a SQ sub, but they don't get the excursion you need for real SPL. Icon's don't have enough Xmas for high wattage unless you're happy with bottoming out. I abuse the ICON's I have that are custom and they are holding up very well as long as I don't abuse for long periods, but they aren't invincible. If you're into sound clarity, and still want to be loud grab an ICON, 1000w to each at 2ohms and you'd be a great match and give you quality and power, or if you're into pressure and air movement grab an SPL sub.

mmMm SSA coils smell yummy!

Yeaah thats the one I want, I can't seem to find it though, even after you mentioned Tsunami. I visited their website, no luck there either. The chits nice and sleek, and audio store is throwing me a full carPC for $200! Getting rid of the Pioneer AVH4000DVD tomorrow and grabbing that WinBox =] Edit: found it on ebay and got the model number, now I got some google listings <h1 class="itemTitle">RDS9100 </h1> Thank you!

There is a bunch on eBay for under $10. They seem very cheap looking and I am not sure where I would go about mounting them. What meters are recommended for update speed, accuracy and still maintain a sleek appearance?

I am pretty sure you can only do 1 ohm or 4ohm. I am still not completely savvy with wiring yet however so don't quote me!

My 250 amp alt is holding up great with a 2 battery bank, and only 4ga power run until tomorrow, the wire store closed 2 minutes after I got there! CSERS! No noticeable voltage drops at 3500watts. Ordering a digital meter soon to see actual voltage drop. EA or the 3 johnecon mentioned, it's all a personal preference IMO.

Thank you, that's how I thought, I wired it and the amp didn't shut off a single time, cranked amp all the way up and no problems!! Thank you =)
