Crutchfield offers credit...180 day financing.

I dont have 4 people in my car that often either...I mostly have junk in the back seats...so I'll try this. Now I am also seriously thinking about upgrading the AMP. Crutchfield has this Visonik 500w x 2 amp for like $ 349.00 with multiple fans. My Kenwood is like 150w x 2. I am wondering if I...

What do you think of this AMP? The price is right for something this powerful. I currently have a Kenwood 7201 which I am sort of not impressed with. Especially since it cut out due to heat. I was told by the installer that a more powerful amp produces less stress when tuned properly. Your thoughts?

I thought about some kind of external cooling...sort of like the stuff you might use in a PC. I have chip coolers, thermaltake case cooling fans, etc running in my PC'z. I wonder if they make something like this for AMPS. Amps by design are supposed to one giant heatsink. Both my amps have...

I think it was probably due to heat cuz i couldnt touch the amp...it was fricking HOT to the touch! The wiring is Rockford Fosgate...ummm...there is still slight whining..even tho I had them check the ground and they did something to take care of it. The whine is very very low...and it takes a...

For the first time my subs cut in and out. I am a little worried about this...although ppl are telling me this is due to the amp heating up and shutting off. Its actually been hot here in Buffalo NY this week and today I played the system fairly loud for about an hour straight. I talked to...

That is what I figured. Its the same 8-gauge stuff. Rockford is good but a bit expensive. Thanks.

Scosche (spelling?) vs. Rockford Fosgate.....is there a HUGE difference? I bought an amp from Crutchfield and they sent the Scosche amp wiring kit. I bought an amp from Best...err Worst Buy and they suggest Rockford. I know Rockford is good stuff...should I think about changing out the Scosche...

Well......I have had everything installed and sounds **** fine. The 8401 is a decent amp...although not outright the most powerful but Kenwood is good stuff. The shop installed the amp as follows: 2 channels to the 10" JL subs (w subs in an enclosed box). and the other 2 channels to the front...

What do you think of Kenwood amps? My application is simple...I like it loud....but not into car shaking bass really. Bought a pioneer 5500mp, rear speaks Kenwood 1679ie, frnt speaks currently stock but changing to MB Quartz, Kenwood multi-channel amp, dual 10" subs in enclosed box. Will this...
