Well, I guess it all depends on the type of vehicle you plan on runing the HU power from. Whats wrong with the Cigarette lighter??? Its fused with 20A, and its available in over 95% of all vehicles. Now behind the dash, you'll never see the wiring job and plus the ground is already there. In...

I'd love to know about phasing Can you give me an idea of why exactly it didnt work when everything was hooked up properly to label discribtions. Like positive to positivie and negative to negative. I want to learn why reversing the connections fixed this problem. Thx in advance, AtomicGuY

The best place and most easiest place to run the headunit from is the Cigarette lighter. Its 12V and all you got to do is make a Y split and your done. Cigarette lighters even come with a Ground so it makes things even easier. AtomicGuY

I personally think the Pioneer DEH-P5500MP is much better than the 6500 because of its ability to play MP3s and WMAs. If you dont use MP3s or WMAs then go for the 6500, its got a cool screen but thats about the only advantage its got over the 5500. I personally like Premier. More outputs in...

Well,, if you want full independent control over your sub then your going to want to get at least the Pioneer DEH-P5500 or Premier DEH-P550. This unit has it all and is still affordable. Unless you've already got some good crossovers. AtomicGuY

Well, I finally solved the problem. This was actually a weird solution. What I did to fix the problem is take the pos to pos on Speaker B and neg to neg on Speaker B... then inverted them so positive goes to negative and negative goes to positive. I now have both subs pounding hard on this...

OK jbl_marshall21 , I think you are the man that can help me out. What am I doing wrong?? I got the same setup as you except I'm using two 15"ers. I want mine to setup exactly like yours. Can you help? My AMP for some reason cuts out when both subs are connected to the amp. Is there a...

Ok, so I went to Futureshop installation and they said I need to make the AMP run in STEREO. Get me if I'm wrong but aint I running Stereo already?? I seriously dont get this.. I think there is something seriously wrong with the AMP maybe?? AtomicGuY

I got two 15" Pioneer Subs hooked up to a Pioneer,, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PioneerCanadaEng/CDA/CarProducts/POC_Eng_CarProductDetails/0,1825,2562,00.html GM-X962 Two Channel AMP Now, when both subs are hooked up, and I turn up the volume, the subs cut out. Now, if I detach one sub...

NAh, keep those subs.. What I plan to do is since this is my first AMP, I plan to bag it for a couple years untill I can afford a Rockford Fosgate AMP that can push 350Watts RMS per channel $900 Canadian should get me a amp like this right? AtomicGuY

Ok, another question... Say I wire the negative of one sub to the positive of the second sub, and have only one sub attached to the amp, if I bridgedm wouldnt it result in 4 ohms bridged? or would I end up with 8 ohms load on the amp? AtomicGuY

Question for the wise.. Isnt running three way out a 2 ohms bridged combo? The Manual states a Tri mode which consists of two 6x9s (one on each channel) and a sub woofer bridged between the two channels. Wouldnt the sub bring the load down to 2 ohms?

u don't know how to get a 2 ohm load outta two 4 ohm svc subs? lmao [/b] I do but not on the seperate channels. Are your's on the seperate channels? How did you do it? I can get 2 ohms when two are overlapped on the same channel but not on seperate channels. EDIT: In the manual, it says the...

I bet you bagged the AMP didnt you? This is impossible if the amp is only turned up 50% or soo. The only problem that lies here is your eyes will have a hard time hearing between 150watts and 200~250watts... You'll have to really tune it before you get it right. My friend has had his good ole...
