    2009 Skoda Superb radio dead

    Maybe when the battery is disconnected a fuse is blown? You could try testing power wires for voltage. Can you get wiring diagrams? Do you know how the radio is connected / wired?

    Bad Decision

    How many cubes was the box? Pretty neat there was enough energy to spit the sub out of the box. Are you going with 12" U series?

    How to tell if car has voltage reduction alternator

    I'm looking at buying a 2021 Camry SE with a 4 cylinder. I read about these newer cars with weasel alternators. How do you find out if it's a feature or not?

    Amp/voltage help

    Yeah, put the probes on the power wire and ground wire of the amplifier. Multimeter on DC. Do not put it on the wires that go to your speakers. M

    My new sweet thang...

    Nice ride! I've had interest in similar cars. I'd like to get a Buick Roadmaster. Giant station wagon. Are you gonna put a system in it? Trunk has to be huge.

    RCA VS HIGH LEVEL INPUT

    Does RCA to amp send digital signal? Like 1 or 0? Or is it like a sin wave of voltage?

    Is 16 gauge PURE COPPER ENOUGH FOR SUB 325W RMS CONSTANT

    I ran 1200 watts through 12 gauge. Didn't notice any melting on the wire's insulation.

    Alpine MRX-M100 opinions?

    Giving subs more power really wakes them up. The MRP-500 is pretty low power. You would really notice more authority in your bass.

    advice on which to get

    How much room do you have for the box? Do you know how big of a box each sub wants? Do you have an amplifier already? Do you have electrical upgraded to power a big amplifier?

    New alternator

    Wait on any electrical upgrades until you get a good idea of what your voltage is doing. That tells you everything. Basically you want it to stay above 13.0 volts. When you are really jammin', that's when your voltage can dip down low.

    New alternator

    What does your voltage look like now? How low does it go when you are jammin'?

    Voltage Drop!!!

    The belt might be slipping when the alternator gets loaded up and you wouldn't hear a thing because your audio is full tilt.

    Planning a new sound system🤓

    How big of a box will you build for it? That has to be a major concern considering the space constraints of a Camaro.

    Sub blew up (possible overpowered)

    I agree with Doxuzme. It sounds like you wired to 2 ohms which isn't a problem. Do you know how to use the 'gain' knob on the amplifier? If it was turned up too high, it's easier for you to blow your subs up. How loud did you have it when it died? Were you pushing them hard? Your...

    How accurate is the clipping light on the bass knob

    I was under the impression bass knob clip lights were fairly accurate. BigDWiz's test of JP23 showed clip light was in agreement with the amp dyno clip light. Anyone know the technology behind clip light and what turns it on?
