    Official Highoutput Alternator Companys Pros & Cons

    Very fond of Ohio Gen. Gus always takes care of me and answers all my questions on regards to my purchase even 6 months down the line. I bought my alternator in July and have had not one issue what so ever. I "heard" from researching that Iraggi has done great work for some people, but for...

    JL W3V3 Amp help

    This website seems a little sketchy. They have no SSL encryption or security when logging in. Whats up with that? I did a little research about this amplifier and evidently V1 was no good because they have a v2 coming out? End of November is ETA, has it come out yet? I have not found any real...

    What is a Good Alt

    It appears that DC doesnt make alternators for Honda's. Thats kind of why I had to go with Ohio Gen. I guess I could have called them as well, but honestly I did not know about any of these other companies. All I know is Ohio gen has treated me right in fact I made a phone call to them the other...

    What is a Good Alt

    Well mine is only 140 amps because its a misubishi alternator that has a tiny casing. They have plenty of alternators that produce 200 amps. Iraggi claimed he could build the alternator in my car for 200 amps, I was skeptical and when spending over 500 bux I wanted to make sure I was getting...

    JL W3V3 Amp help

    That amp provides only 600 rms @ 2 ohms. Those subs should do fine with 400 RMS a piece from the 1500d amp. I got 600 rms for my infinities last time and it wasnt loud enough for me so this time I think I want to push a little extra headroom to make sure, and with the gains set right they should...

    Eclipse CD5441 or JVC KDHD-R1?

    I currently have the JVC head unit in the car and it does pretty good, but I had the eclipse in my jeep and it has 5v preouts. I know the eclipse is older, but I think it is a better deck? I would use all 3 preouts for both my amps, and I dont really care about HD radio and the HDR1 does not...

    JL W3V3 Amp help

    I picked up a set of jl audio w3v3 4 ohm subs for 175 bux. Need a new amp because they are wired for 2 ohms (obviously) and my 750d cadence cannot power them efficiently. They sound ok. I am looking at the JL750/1, the sundown 1500d as the 1000d I dont think would be powerful enough. JL...

    Subs in a 2001 Civic

    I have considered going with a different box, but again if I go ported I dont think the box will fit with 2 12's the way I have it setup. Thanks for the responses.

    Subs in a 2001 Civic

    I threw a post up earlier about my one of my kappa subs going out. Now I am going back to the drawing board(sort of). After having my 140 amp ohio gen alternator and a hc1400 battery in the car I feel I can handle a little more than 2 kappa's.(I also have big 3 wiring) I have been on here and...

    Infinity Kappa's to JL W3V3??

    I am definately going to run 2 subwoofers no matter what I run with. I have narrowed it down to either 2 cvx's or 2 of the jl w3v3. I think the cvx's will be a lot louder, but the jl's will be a lot cleaner. Again my biggest issue now is the amp. Im not sure if my current cadence would be good...

    Infinity Kappa's to JL W3V3??

    Just blew one of my Kappa's voice coils out. Looking for replacement subs. Looking at W3V3. I definately want louder but clean as well. I would be putting them into a sealed box with 1.2cf of space. Have a 750d cadence mono block. Would that be ok to run 2 w3v3? It would match the RMS perfect...

    Cadence 4 channel amp question

    I have had this amp for awhile and have the gains set for my 2 ohm kappas pretty good to where you cant hear all the alternator noise coming through the speakers, but it seems that the amp gets so hot on the heat sink and the main body of the amp to where it is untouchable. I was looking at a...

    I can't hear my bass outside my car!! HELP!

    I have 2 12 inch 120.3 DVC subs in a sealed enclosure and fatmat the whole trunk. My brother has 1 12 inch kicker CVR hooked to 300 RMS that sounds louder outside of his buick. My car inside is undoubtly louder and sounds way better. I have to agree with everyone. Why would you spend (in my case...
