    Amp Recommendation

    Well if the amp is 1200W x 1 @ 2 ohms and the subs are a combined 1500w RMS @ 2 ohms, then wouldn't they be under powered by definition? I could be wrong about how I'm looking at that though. I'm not sure if just getting another amp is going to solve your problems...it may make more problems...

    Need advice on installation quote given to me

    I **** at installing and it probably takes me longer to do everything then most of the people on this forum, but there's no way that I'd pay $1,500 for that. That sounds like a stimulus check price. In my humble opinion, if you can afford for your vehicle to be down for a day or two, or if you...

    85 Monte SS - Trying It Myself

    All were good, visually and tested below 1 ohm with the multi meter. I may have cut into a wire through the firewall. I hate that I threw my old alternator in the garbage, but I'll go get another temp one from the parts store tomorrow just to rule that out. I'm going to also put another battery...

    85 Monte SS - Trying It Myself

    electrical issues right now. Everything was playing fine, then I noticed my voltage was dropping....and it dropped all the way to the point the car didn't start again. I got my multimeter and checked my grounds and everything was under 1 ohm (perhaps I didn't check them correctly). I ran new...

    85 Monte SS - Trying It Myself

    Finally got some time in today to learn on the job... Running cable through the firewall when you don't have the right size drill bit for 1/0 and a 4ga run...is a *****. My lil brother and I spend literally 35 minutes just getting those ran. I finished putting down the stinger roadkill in the...

    85 Monte SS - Trying It Myself

    They are made by Q-Logic. Expensive too, but I was able to snag them in an ebay auction. Yes I'm selling the SQ's, but only locally. I've posted them on craigslist but it seems like people are trade crazy. I'm not pressed to sell them as I have a few cars and there's no telling when I'll need...

    85 Monte SS - Trying It Myself

    I have a 1985 Monte Carlo SS that I've decided to do my own trunk install with after being quoted north of $1,000 by 3 shops for an enclosure and trim panels. If it does turn out like crap, I'll just go back to a shop. Equipment Head Unit - KDC-X598 (Tablet is my main audio source) Rear 6x9 -...

    $300 Budget, want 2 Subs

    I'm on the same budget, except I'm going for 12's. My 3 options were 2 Type R's, SQ's, or C2Audio. I've decided to go with SQ.

    Alpine Type R swr10 or a RE Audio sxx10?

    I've never had RE Audio, but I've had several sets up Alpine Type R's... and I was pleased with them. This time around I'm going for soundqubed subs though.

    Car started filling with smoke last night...need help

    I've had my car fill with smoke twice. Both my fault and the two reasons were 1) the power wire was not tightly secured at the fuse in the back, so as it began to slip out, it started to melt the plastic housing, causing smoke. 2) burn a voice coil in a Type R from all of the distortion. You...
