    Mb quart Q 4.150 3 way install help.

    I am having difficulty understanding the instructions on installing this amp in a 3 way configuration. First is that my Alpine head unit has only one set of rca outputs. In the three way configuration would I still have to use 2 “Y” splitters to connect to the amp? A second 2 ch...

    What fusing is correct here?

    So the figure of 127 amps for approximate current draw is really the figure that matters when choosing the fuse size at the battery providing the power wire is of sufficient gauge to handle the fuse. The 180 amp figure being the total sum of all fuses in the amps really does not play into the...

    What fusing is correct here?

    The reason they give is :" That's because the typical analog amplifier is about 50% efficient. That means about half of the power it generates is turned into audio output while the other half of the power is lost as heat. So if your amplifier is putting out 400 watts, it's actually using enough...

    What fusing is correct here?

    To determine the approximate current draw in “amps” of one’s amplifiers you need to calculate the total power of each amp. Multiply total number of channels times the number of RMS watts per channel. In this particular example we will use the first amp at 4x 150 rms watts = 600w rms. The...

    amp Suggestion?

    Thank you Audiobaun for your input. I have already purchased a MB Quart Q 150.4 to run the front and rear channels. One set of audison 6.5 High energy component and am looking at a second set of 5 or 6.5 slim design coaxial for the front. The 10 inch sub was an after thought and things just seem...

    amp Suggestion?

    I would appreciate suggestions on what amps individuals would recommend for a single 10inch sub in sealed enclosure. The sub is nothing special just a Polk db 1040 4 ohm DVC with a RMS power rating of 275w and peak of 580w. This is to add a little base from the trunk in a 67 camaro. Not...

    Best way to configure this system?

    Ok so what suggestions would you have for an amp to run this sub db1040 DVC. Again the rms is only 275w with a total peak of 580w.I have read that a Dual voice coil sub is best to run off a mono amp rather than a two channel amp in order to save money by running a two channel amp? Secondly: I...

    Best way to configure this system?

    SC4 is correct in what he is saying! 16w will not be sufficient to power the set of Hertz Components in the rear package shelf! They are rated at (125w rms) The two 4 inch coax that have been installed in the center dash location could be powered by the head unit but will be drowned out unless...

    Best way to configure this system?

    Thats the first post i have heard about the Quart "Q" series amps having problems. I reviewed this amp for problems in many forums and on the net and found nothing about people havinging issues! I can see someone messing up the wiring and setup but that can happen with any amp. Please send me...
