I am out of the car audio world the more my ears age. However, I am very much still a hobbyist in the electrical field. With much of my current focus on solar. This question has been asked a million times since car audio has been a thing. This question is electrical and is answered by math and...

A bigger battery or even an extra battery is a fix for a marginally underpowered electrical system.  I'm going to say that amplifier will pull in the ballpark of 200 amps conservatively.  If you want to learn an expensive lesson, run an amplifier like this on a stock electrical system. Big...

Your problem is not with the distro block. Looking at your equipment, everything seems to be wired correctly. I would replace both fuses and see what happens. Fuses can get weak overtime, its odd to me only one fuse blew, if it were an equipment issue.

The Rockford is probably fused at around 90 amps. I would run a good 4 gauge kit. No junk, look into new konceptz or audioteknix wire kits. I would not try to run the Rockford again until you have adequate wiring. There is a reason the wire is fused so low, its to protect the wire from being...

Actually, the amplifier is not pre-maxxsonics. If you go to the product page for it on sonicelectronix, there's a small maxxsonics logo right on the box. As far as resale value, not sure what newer hifonics amplifier is worth, but I feel you made oue well on the purchase, but personally I...

I am just wanting opinions on running my old school zed made planet audio p1502 amplifier at 1 ohm bridged. These amps are hard to come buy, and the last thing I want to do is fry it. My plan is to set it up to run at 600-700 watts via multimeter to keep the ameperage down. The final load of my...

2000 Jeep Cherokee(not grand cherokee) electrical has 3/0 wire for big three.

LOL, I thought he meant I was hearing ground loop noise. I will check the voltage on the alternator today, I have a spare so changing it out would be free. As far as the road noise, I doubt it. I have had some small systems in the past and never had this issue. Oddly I have noticed the air...

I cannot hear any ground noise in my stereo what so ever, but I can try to move my highs over to the stereo and disable the amp I am using for my highs, I guess while I am at it check my connections on my power wires. Is is possible my alternator is getting ready to go out? 12.4 volts idle is...

Noticed lately my bass is almost non existent while driving, but when at a light or something, bass hits nice. System is not the one listed in my signature, running 12" hifonics sub(inverted with phase reversed) on a 300 watt JBL monoblock amp wired at 2 ohms, 1 cube box tuned to 38hz all...

Being a noob, I would start with assuring you have the proper electrical system upgrades in place to run this kind of system. I would start with the big three(google it), I would run two runs of zero gauge wire to the amp from the battery, and have two 0 gauge grounds. Next I would go for an...

it should "work" on 8 gauge, you really need 1/0 wire. get rid of the bass knob for now, they **** anyway, and double check all connections power,ground, remote etc. the amp doesn't know what size power wire your using, lol

i have a blown one with cone and spiders already removed, its ready for a recone. its a 15" fi Q
