    Looking for low cost 4 channel amp

    I know I'm moving the goal posts here, but I'm considering the Precision Power i640.5. I'd like to add a small sub while conserving space. There just aren't many reviews on it. It also appears I can get away with just using an 8 gauge cable... although I'm not having any luck finding an owners...

    Looking for low cost 4 channel amp

    ****, that thing is tiny! I could hide that thing anywhere! But it makes me wonder if the previous owner had something like this installed in the dash... What speakers did you install with the amp? Also how much are you getting for them? (I only posted the links to crutchfield because the info...

    Looking for low cost 4 channel amp

    Are you recommending DB Drive? Or are you recommending it because you're trying to offload one? I'm not trying to make this a "want to buy" thread. Just looking at my options.... A warranty wouldn't be a bad idea either...

    Looking for low cost 4 channel amp

    So, I'm looking for a low cost 4 channel amp. I've been out of the car audio loop for almost a decade so I don't really know if there's been any technological advances since then and what brands I should be looking at or avoiding. So anyways, the vehicle it's going in is a 1995 Jeep Wrangler...

    Good idea or bad.......Viper 791xv install? Never did a car alarm.

    have it installed by a pro and send the receipt to your insurance company to get a discount in your auto insurance. it'll pay for itself.

    REM light

    there should be three terminals for power on the amp...and depending on how many channels the amp has...around 4 additional terminals. so thats 7 in total. the three power terminals are the +, -, and REM. + goes to battery, - goes to ground, and REM should be spliced into the ignition wire on...

    Is this set up right?

    plus the power inverter to power the ps2. as well as checking the recomended input voltage for the screen. some come with a cig adapter but ive seen others that only accept 11-13 volts. you may need a voltage regulator. probably not though.

    Amp Fuse blowing

    if it blows instantly, without the car being on, theres a short in your power wire.

    my amp drains my battery

    there is a wire that turns on when the car turns on (it tells the headunit, etc when to turn on). use that. be cautious about using the remote line..you might blow the relay on the headunit (depending on how many amperes your amplifier pulls for the REM)

    REM light

    what kind of amp is it? the ground should go to the negative(-) (as it seems it is) and the positive(+) should be hooked up to a fused line from the battery. the REM should be hooked up to either the ignition wire or the remote turn on coming from the head unit. There might be a problem with...
