Just re-did the wiring with a KNU 4 gauge kit when I installed the amp this past Saturday. Measured ground location with meter. Got 0.00. But as I said. The voltage drop is occurring at the engine battery (only battery in car Optima D34 Yellow) and amp while the car is on. So wouldn't that mean...

2007 VW Rabbit. Alternator was replaced last year (aftermarket) not OEM. OEM lasted 12yrs with a system in it since day 3. Granted I've only had the Alpine MRX-M110 for 3years (Lights dimmed (not much) for first time using that amp) but it never shut off at almost full gain with sub-out at 15 on...

I'm gonna see what I can come up with designing a ported box. Now I turned my amp gain down to 37V (measured at speaker terminels with sub disconnected running 50hz tone) and noticed I almost get nothing out of the sub with max non distorted volume. Did I do the calculation correctly? 1500rms @...

Ahh I see. I did have a FI Q with the high QTS option in the same box. Still own it. Surround is torn :(. I have no idea how to get a hold of a custom box design (though I can have it made considering I work at a woodshop that stocks up to 1" premium mdf). Do u have any recommendation on a off...

My box is a 14-1/4"L x 14-1/4"D x 14-1/4"H 1.0cuft 3/4 mdf Sealed. I did take the polyfill out (was starting to get loose) when i installed the new amp. Should I go ported? I've always had sealed boxes. I felt that they hit the lows better.

Hi, I recently purchased a Taramps Smart 3 and wired it to my FI SSD Neo DVC2 @ 1ohm. It shuts off giving me the <9v light on the monitor. I did a voltage test at my amp and battery (alt to hard to get to) and when the kick hits I do see the meter drop to 11ish volts before the amp shuts off. Is...

I purchased the Taramps Smart 3 so that I can run 1 ohm. TY all for your assistance.

Thx for the replies. I was pushing more towards a new amp personally. How do u guys feel about Hifonics vs Taramps? This is the first time I heard of the Taramps. They look really good at keeping the rated power though. But I've been reading that the Taramps seem to be more for a total range of...

Hi, I currently have a Alpine MRX-110 amp that runs 1130rms as tested @ 2ohms or 650rms @ 4ohms (Not 1ohm stable) and a 12" FI SSD Neo DVC 2ohm 1500rms (Xmax Coil w/ Stiff Suspension) in a 1.0 cu ft sealed enclosure. Should I run the setup at 4ohms or, buy a DVC 4ohm sub to run @ 2ohms or a 1ohm...
