    Help Better Understanding Electrical Systems

    My problem is that I'm a little tight on space. Also my subs are rated for 1200 RMS and with the 2200w amp I'm currently using, I feel like I'm barely moving them.

    Help Better Understanding Electrical Systems

    So I'm in the thought process of swapping out my current amp for something a little beefier. However, I really need to take into consideration my electrical system. With my current setup, under a heavy load song, my volts don't drop below 12.7, and under a 10 second 40 hz sine wave, no lower...

    What to upgrade to make system louder?

    What are your thoughts on Brazilian amps? I found a Stetsom 5k for a reasonable price

    What to upgrade to make system louder?

    Hey everyone! Well after having my current setup for over 2 years now, I'm considering the idea of changing some things up in order to make it louder. My goal is save time and money, so changing both my amp and subs would be preferably avoided. As you can see in my signature below, I have 2...

    How Big of an Amp Would You Run?

    These numbers you guys are giving surprise me. You really think as a daily driver, an HDS312 can handle 2500w safely?

    How Big of an Amp Would You Run?

    Just a random question for you guys. I have 2 HDS312's (1200w RMS each for those who don't know) on an SQ 2200.2 amp. So right now they're getting 1100w a piece, obviously hungry for more power. How big of an amp do you think I could run on these two subs? And would it be worth the upgrade if I...

    Power usage help

    Others might not agree with me but if you feel like doing the big 3 is too much of a pain in the ***, just pick up a solid AGM and you'll be fine. I have an SQ 2200 in my car. On stock battery there was noticeable headlight dim along with substantial voltage drop. I grabbed an odyssey extreme...

    Help Tuning a New Headunit and 2 Amps

    After dealing with some very annoying ground loop problems for many months, I have finally got my system to exactly where I wanted. I can finally turn my volume down to 0 and hear absolutely nothing, no annoying engine whine noise anymore! In the process of fixing things, I had to get a new...

    5 channel amp vs multiple amps?

    i would only opt for the the 2 amp setup if you ever plan on upgrading by getting amps with a little more headroom on the wattage. However that's obviously gonna be more expensive than the 5 channel option. However if you're gonna stick with what you have than 5 channel is a very solid look

    Help Selecting a New Headunit

    Long time no see everyone, Welp after dealing with some very annoying ground loop problems for almost 6 months now, I think it's time I be proactive and try to fix it. I've narrowed down my problems to my current Pioneer head unit. It is possible that the head unit isn't the cause of my...

    Major Ground Loop Help Needed!

    The noise isn't there when the RCA's aren't connected, only when they are.

    Major Ground Loop Help Needed!

    When testing, I was listening for the "thump" I was hearing when the car was turned off. When I removed the RCA's from the 4 channel amp's pass through to the sub amp, the thump was still audible, but less loud as the subs aren't playing it. When I removed the 4 RCA's that come from the head...

    Major Ground Loop Help Needed!

    So far I've changed my RCA's to a better, more shielded type, grounded the headunits RCA's to the head units body, and tried regrounding the RCA's at the 4 channel and sub amplifier.

    Major Ground Loop Help Needed!

    Head unit RCA's are already grounded. I have a hard time believing the head units ground cable is to blame, but it's on my list of solutions I plan on doing. Will probably do a 12 gauge run to a nice piece of metal.

    Major Ground Loop Help Needed!

    A few days ago I asked for help on fixing a ground loop. Well, after trying a remedy, my problems have gone from bad to worse. Here's what it currently sounds like (apologies for **** quality, had to use old flip camera, phone was full): Breaking down what happens in case it wasn't obvious...
