Turned key to acc position, amp turned on, sub played (low volume)... When i turn the engine on - the amp blows its fuse immediately. Double...

    Gain tuning my amp w/ sub?

    New to a sub/amp combo. My amp is putting out 200w rms in bridged mode. My sub is rated at 250w rms. (single 10" alpine type e) Since the amp doesn't put out the full potential wattage the sub is capable of, do i crank up the gain to max? Thanks

    Wiring harness, Speakers and Headunit.

    Wiring harness, Speakers and Headunit.

    Hey guys, I want to re-wire my car, since the last owner made a total mess of it. I found a brand new 200ft spool of speaker wire in my shop. Could i run speaker wire from the headunit directly to the speaker? (without using the factory speaker harness). The speaker harnesses are like 15$ each...

    Alpine amp with sub and crossover

    All the wiring up to the crossover is still there... Just the power is disconnected from the battery as it sits. I found a good amp and wiring kit(comes free with it). So it looks like i'm set with that just to figure out how it will be wired up... I got another question!! Since the Deck has...

    Alpine amp with sub and crossover

    The two way crossover is just under the passenger seat, and seems stuck there as the wiring to it keep it firm in place with about a foot of wiggle room. I plan on just using the Crankenstien 12" sub until then (im not sure of model it was given to me... no info on it to be seen, It's in a...

What i've been planning on buying is Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. (check link) (I really can't afford to pay much more for an amp. All i have...

    Crossover confusion with amp?

    All that i can see... Is a powersource from the battery to the trunk (thick red cable) And then the crossover has all the speakers wired into it. There is only one set of RCA cables connected to the crossover and they are just loose in the back seat. The crossover is under the passenger's seat...
