sounds like you might have a cracked solder joint on the pc board of the amp. If you have any kinda solder skills and know what you're lookin for it's an easy fix.

you installed a loc in the system right.. The reason why it hits when you remove one rca is because you have the (+) and the (-) on one of the channels backwards . So what's happening is it's canceling out. Look at it like this If you have +2 and you put it with -2 you still get 0.. as for the...

I understand how the copustar works it's actually the alarm we sell at our school. I was making points about installing a security system designed for automatics..

Just make a box. When you start putting it together do the top/bottom and sides first. then put in the port.After that put on the front and back pieces. Then router out the port. As for the port ends , it won't hurt to round them over to eliminate port noise. Your question about the area of the...

Here's what I came up with.... This is with the box being tuned to 32 hz. When you mount the sub, put it on the front of the box, the same side as the port. When you put the enclosure together cut 2 pieces of wood 2.5" wide. Use those to space apart the port from the enclosure wall.Also put the...

It should be connected in parallel

it all depends on the type of music you listen to. Also if you have a second battery it will act as a buffer for the amount of current being asked upon by the alternator.

Any one of the DQxx series would work, just depends on you're application at hand. If you're going to run dolby digital 5.1 I would suggest the DQS where all six output channels can be independantly adjusted. If you're just doing a stereo system then i would do DQXS or the DQX both have built in...

but you have to remember that the siren is mounted under your hood. That's going to attenuate the output of your siren. If you want your security system to be loud and annoying. Don't just hook up the siren but also the horn to .. It does two things makes your security system more identifiable...

Ya but what if someone else besides you drives the car , can you vouche for what they're gonna do? or what if some one breaks into your car and you didn't know . What if they bumped the stick. You remotestart the car and run someone over or damage property, can you vouche that won't happen?

The problem is the size of your enclosure. General rule of thumb for ported enclosures. To keep the same tuning frequency: -If you increase box volume , you decrease port length -If you decrease box volume, you increase port length -if you increase port diameter , you increase port length...

That's true, but what is the purpose of silicone in the enclosure?

first of all you need to find out your max area you're willing to give up in the car. You have to calculate how much air space you have for the speaker. If i'm not mistaken , the trunk is spacious , but the opening is small. That's something else you have to think about. The enclosure fitting...

i've been busy working changing jobs, etc...

what is the internal volume of the enclosure, the model and make of the speakers you're using and the measurements of the port? Length width height. The general rule of thumb is to raise tuning frequency, shorten the length to lower make it longer. If you can give this info i can give you the...
