Hmmmm...now Im second geussing this .... The system sounds gret to me like it is. I dont like thumping bass, I like tight clean bass and thats why I went with 2 Blaupunkt 6x9 set on LP. Most of the sound comes out of the front speakers set on HP. Together it sounds great. Was just thinking about...

well, if 4ohm will get really hot, would it be better to run an 8ohm? SO far this amp is pretty cool....doesnt get that hot to the touch at all. Im in southside of jax

I have a APA450 CLarion Amp. I was thinking about installing a sub so I can give my duaghter the 2 6x9's. Its 4 channel, and if I bridge the rear speaker connectors does anyone know if it would have to be a 8ohm or 4ohm sub? Ill only be running one sub. It doesnt say in the owner manual and on...

this head unit is brand new. It has 5 pre set eq settings. I think it just needs more to control the mids. Most head units I have seen that have built in eq's are barely more then a bass and treble controler. I think a true eq is the way to go. Just dont know a good inexpensive one or how to...

Ive played with the treble adjustment on my head unit and the freqeuncy settings on my amp for the front speakers and there still harsh. The highs allmost dissapear wich I dont want that. Mainly the vocal or a mid range guitar are very loud. How would you go about hooking up a eq to an amped...

Hello again:) I was wondering. Since I have installed my jensen head unit, Clarion amp, Infinity Reference 4" and Blaupunkt 6x9s, it all sounds good except for the midrange. It is way to loud. It pierces your ears sometimes. Is there anyway I can tone down the midrange through the amps freq...

any preferences between these two subs?

Well, Im very limited on space for sub, thats why I dont want to go any larger then 1 8". Cant afford another amp. Dont really want another amp either. Bake,,,,, I would get 200w bridged power just using the rear channel? Is that at 4 ohm or 2ohm? I will still be running the 4" Infinitys of the...

I have a Clarion APA450 amp. I am running a pair of Infinity 4" reference in the front and 6x9 blaupunkts in the rear. I was thinking of going to an 8" sub like the RF Punch Stage1 P18S4 or Polk Audio db Series db804. My amp is 400watts, 50 per/channel. If I bridge the rear channel that should...

can you be abit more specific? Sorry im new to this:) I know the ground from the amp is good. Its 4ga wire to a very bare metal area. How would I need to ground the HU other then using the factory ground in the factory connector?

Change my ground.....the HU ground? Change it to what?

Well, I thought all was well. Install completed about 2 weeks ago, everything sounded good. Yesterday took the boat out fishing and for some reason now I have some nasty engine noise. But, when I turn left the noise goes away. Thinking I hit a bump and nocked something loose. I checked all the...

I would like to know if my amp (Clarion APA450) can run the rear speakers in 4ohm and front speakers in 2ohm? I have posted on the speaker forum qeustions about Infinity speakers. I may get the 4"kappas wich are 2 ohm. Im running Bluapunkt 6x9 in the rear at 4 ohm. I know my amp will do both 4...

thanks for the replies. Iknew my amp ran 2ohm and 4 ohm, I just didnt know if the ohms could be mixed betwen the 4 speakers.I think im going to go with the kappas..or the references:) One or the other. Im trying to find a store that sells both so I can hear them side by side. Circuit City isnt...

does anyone know for sure if the Clarion APA450 can run the kappas at 2 ohm in the fronts while running other speakers in the rears at 4 ohms?
