Bump again. How can people expect answers to their posts if they don't post accordingly?? Gimme a break you guys!

So I have had 2 s12l7s connected to a zx1500.1 amp for a couple months now. This past friday it was quite hot in Chicago and my amp went into protection mode for about 30 - 45 minutes until it cooled enough to turn on. everything sounded fine up until yesterday when it seems like they might have...

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger with the Alpine CDA-9884, Kicker ZX650.4, ZX1500.1, and 2 S12L7 in an solid box purchased off E-Bay. My 4 Infinity Kappa 6X9 3-Ways have finally blown after 2 1/2 years of use. I am ready to upgrade/replace my speakers but am not sure which brands and models to go...

Any suggestions as to how powerful a second battery I would need. I am pretty sure I want to go with kinetik HC2400. Is that powerful enough or is it too powerful? I don't plan on upgrading my amps unless of course I blow them. I truly appreciate all the help you guys are giving me. Everyone of...

Thanks for the help guys. My alternator is 160 amps. Do any companies make a more powerful alternator for my car? Should I run a dual battery setup or upgrade my stock battery? My stock battery us 730 cold cranking amps.

Should my ground wires be the same size as the power wires? Can I ground both to the same olscr or should I ground them in different locations?

I have a kicker zx650.4 and a zx1500.1. What size power and ground wires should I use? Where is the best location to ground the wires? Can anyone point me to a comprehensive guide to tuning amps with a dmm and test tones? I had best buy, who are a bunch of pirates, install my equipment but they...

I have the answer to engine whining. Turn the volume up! If my music is paused I hear whine but once I press play it magically goes away.

I was reading thru the big 3 thread and I want to know why I have to use an additional wire for the negative battery terminal? My battery is in the trunk and it is far easier for me to remove the original negative wire and replace it with a 0 gauge wire. I don't understand why I need both. My...

I've decided on the s12l7's but am not sure which amp to get the kicker sx1250 or the zx1500. the zx has more power but the sx seems to be of a higher quality and more doodads to make it sound cleaner, i think. Any comments would be helpful.

I dont get it. the cvx subs have a smaller frequency range. is that good or bad. I just want to be able to play my stereo louder and have clear crispy bass. i am not entering any competitions so i dont care about db or spl or anything. i t is just for personal entertainment.

Ultimately i am going for sound quality but i want it to really hit those bass notes. i usually listen to music with lots of heavy heavy bass so i need a large range of hz. I know kicker solobarics REALLY pound so thats why i want them. Alpine type-r's are also good subs but is not really what i...

I'm going for a clean sound versus loudness. Cleanliness is next to godliness, or so they say.

Power is not an issue. I will buy the amp after i get the subs. As far as the box i have a 2006 dodge charger so i have a decent amount of space. However i do not want to have more than 2 subs total. I also want to put in an amp rack at some point
