    Guy with 2001 boxster and his request...

    Exactly a sports car. I own a 2006 Corvette Z06. Its not where near super car material. Yes its fast and can beat super cars, but I do not put it in that category. Its a 5 figure car, excluding the ZR1, compared to 6 and even 7 figure cars.

I used this one app called Audio Tool Kit Pro. In there it asks on "amp gain settings" what the amp...

    If the sub was blown would I not be able to read "ohms" coming from it. That showed 2.1 ohms or so. I think the amp is prob fried. If its under warranty would they replace it cause in the owners manual it says if the gain is set to high the amp will go into protect before it blows anything. I...

    Alternator Whine

    the ground is grounded directly to the negative battery terminal cable. so yes. I have my rcas prob (i think) at least 6" if not more. I will double check but I'm sure i have them away a good distance. If that's not the cause then what else do you recommend?

    Any reason for an amp to overheat sitting in the parking lot?

    Thank you. Well tried 2 different grounding places and found one that has the negative battery cable bolted to it. I used that and there is still alternator whine. The whine can def be heard when the volume is down very low. Once I turn it up its somewhat not noticeable. Should I be running...

    Any reason for an amp to overheat sitting in the parking lot?

    headunit is a Kenwood ddx 719. Should I ground the headunit? there is another groundon the side of the car I can use that has the battery wire grounded to. my main concern is why can the mono amp handle the heat but not the 4 channel?
