    Getting to the bottom of my alt whine

    You are close to answering your own problem...The only reason alternator whine occurs is that the ground potential between the head unit and the amp is too high..Ultimately all whine can be eliminated by decreasing the resistance between the two down to 0. I had a system once in my shop where...

    engine noise problem, what did i miss

    Take a 14 or 12 guage wire to ground the head unit to the car chassis...Stay away for the ground in the harness. Make sure it is right to bare metal or chassis bolt.

    WTB A/D/S AC 502 Bass Contoller

    I need a fairly rare item which is the AC 502 Sub Bass controller. It was popular with the generation of amps by ADS from the late 90's. Will pay a premium for a nice example of the device... Email me only glenn.lewis@verizon.net

    boston z series...

    I am using older Nakamichi EC200H and EC200 in a system with 5.25 Boston Pro series and I have no trouble setting the crossovers anywhere I want. The H has crossover points of 1.8,2.5,3.5,4.5,6.0 K. I can't imagine going much below 1.8 K for tweeter function due to the harshness of the...

    sub cutting out

    I have a slightly different view.....You should put a voltmeter on the car anywhere in the system and check what the voltage is when you crank up the subs...If the voltage drops below 12.5 volts probably the amp is shutting down due to low voltage....Which is normal....It is true that the...

    Tube amp (4 channel)

    The reason some tube amps have only tubes in the input stage is quite straightforward...Because we all listen to digital music reproduction the sine waves of CD's and MP'3 tend to be only as good as the sampling rate. Because digital music has square waves instead of smooth sine waves which is...

    home audio for car?

    I had a system once that had 2 pair of 7" woofers and big *** tweeters mounted in an old american car and wired them in parallel to a nice amp and it sounded awsome but the woofers had no grilles and in the end that was their undoing...Too many parties and too many boots in cones....If you...
