wattage

I hope someone here can help with my quandry. My vehicle (2010 Kia Soul) came with a premium sound system and the speakers were shot. So I decided to upgrade the head unit (Alpine ilx650) and door speakers. From what I understand the stock amp is pushing 2ohms. I am not certain of the...

Hi, I'm new here. I was just trying to get the most out of my set-up. I have a kenwood kac7201 amp and a 12" eclipse sw6123.4 sub. The amp is 230x2 @2 ohms and 460w x 1 @ 4ohms. The reason why I'm asking if you can ohm the sub down to 2ohms is because 460 is too much. It's a 250 rms sub. And...

Hello. I am new to this, so please be gentle on the new guy. I have had subs in my car for a while now, they were a package of a 300 watt Alpine amp and 2 JL 12's. The RMS on the amp is 300(bridged) and the RMS on the subs is 600(total). Each is running at half power, but that isn't where my...

I have recently bought a car with an aftermarket system. Nothing major. The front two speakers are stock but there is a new head unit and a new pair of 6"x9" in the rear. Everytime i run the radio over 20 or so volume, the stereo cuts out. I was wondering if that has to be a problem with the...

I want to replace my stock speaker wires with 18 ga because I have a big *** spool of the ****, and I want to run 14 ga for my subs.

I recently installed 4 6x8 Pioneer TS-D6802R Coaxial speakers into my truck. With the intentions of purchasing a new head unit, amp, and sub to go with it. I still have those intentions, I just bought the speakers first. So everything sounds fine when I don't raise the volume too high, but...

I feel like a huge n00ber for asking, but it's been in the back of my head for awhile, cause I've never really been clarified on it. Ok, let's say I have this Kicker zX1000.1 amp running 2 Diamond Audio DVC 12" subs they run 600/1200 max so if I'm running them both bridged in Parallel how many...
