I have been using a US acoustics amp for about a year. A few days ago i was listening to a cd and i heard static in the music that sounded like a radio fade out/in. I had a feeling it was the amp since it was a cd that was playing. Today I turned my car on and music played for about a minute...

I have a 4 ch amp powering the front doors speakers and one 12" sub. The rears are powered from the HU. My sub plays even when the rcas are unplugged from the 3/4 ch. on the amp. This means my 1/2 rcas are sending a signal to channels 1-4. Is it supposed to do that when there are no rcas for...

Should i put anything in the sub box(sealed) before the sub such as insulation? Chris

Just need a basic sub to help add a little bass. For SQ...Which one?

I see where it says 160x2 at 4ohms mono...WHat makes it mono..any certain setup?

the manual doesnt say..its not that big..I know the amp will run at 2 ohms. The problem is that im trying to run it at a different impedence than the front, right?

What about one 4ohm+4ohm dvc? It can be wired to a 2 ohm load. But not if the amp is running 4 ohms for the 2 front doors? I wasnt implying that i could or wanted to change the impedence on a speaker. My question is if i can run one sub on the amp with a 2ohm impedence(meaning 4ohm dvc)...

So if the other two channels are at 4 ohms per channel, its a must to run the 1 sub at 4ohms? rather than at 2 ohms bridged?(with a dvc)

Can I run a 4ohm SVC sub off of 2 channels of a 4ch amp? If so, the (+) goes to one channel and the (-) goes to the other?

The power acoustik is a good quality amp, whether i go with the type-x or a different sub?

I dont know enough right now to decide my what budget is. Obviously if my budget is $200 and a $200 amp doesnt put out enough power or i can get an amp that sounds a whole lot better for more..my budget would change. so instead of asking the budget..It would actually help to list a few amps in...

What would be some amps to consider for one alpine type-x?

So the RL-p is a good choice. Is there any others that would keep the cost down on the amp. Their site says 500watts RMS. What would be a good/efficient sub/amp (12")setup that would give me excellent SQ, while keeping costs at an average or better? It looks like the type-x will need a much...

Yeah..Strictly SQ...What OHM rating should I be looking for? I do not have an amp yet. As for the RL-p... i noticed it has a lower RMS rating than the type-r(about half). If I can get the same SQ and feel from a sub with a lower wattage, im assuming that would be good too?
