    Yellow, Red or Blue Top?

    I am running a kicker kx400.1 specified at 400W but birthsheet claims about 480W. The other amp is 60Wx4 channels. I already did the big 3 but still getting some light dimming. I am going to go with a deep cycle battery. What should I consider to resolve my problem? yellow, red or blue top...

    Wire and fuse question

    For what your friend is going to be running, I would recomend 4guage. Don't even consider 8guage. If I were him, I would even maybe consider 2guage from battery to terminal block. From terminal block to 300w amp I would do the 4guage. For the 750W amp, I would go 4 guage as well. The fuses...

    ? about big 3 up grade

    take care of the easy things first. Make sure there is chassis to engine, & negative battery terminal to chassis. Those are the easiest in your problem. Then move slowly on the third wire. If the dude did this, you should be able to recognize the aftermarket wires. Talk to him &amp...

    ? about big 3 up grade

    Good luck with the wiring. Just undo everything and make the big three happen. Make sure u get the started out of the equation first. Once you do that, make it look as if nothing was done yet. From there, proceed with big 3. Let us know what happens.

    ? about big 3 up grade

    the size wire you use for the big 3 is all dependant on what you are running in terms of power. Why would you want to run 0guage if all u run is 700W like I do. The physics is all relative. For my system, 4guage is good. Also, don't mess with the starter. If I recall right, I believe you...

    Pple at radio shack

    ABC baby!! I think I can do good for a part timer. I am good with people & always have the ability to close at least 50% of negotiations. I will stop by later on to get an application. Maybe they might not hire me since I am over-qualified. I got a degree...I should leave that out right?

    Issue within power fuse block

    Seems that I just placed the fuse with the metal casing of the output side more settled & connected with the terminal than the input side. That fixed the problem. Not sure how this plays a factor but it did. Let's say that the fuse is #cm. The fuse holder is ( # + 5 )cm. I made sure that...

    Pple at radio shack

    I am thinking of maybe going part time at radio shack. I mean, I considered great with people & sales-man as well. I am very familiar with everything there already. Guess maybe 25hrs/week + commission would not hurt. Plus...here in this town where I am staying at, it *****. It's boring...

    Issue within power fuse block

    I think this is right. I touched the distro block & it was hot like hell. It is mounted on the back of the rear seats. Base of distro block is plastic. I will look more into it to see if I just need to re-mount it. Everything looks fine to me. Will let you guys know what happens...

    help

    Seems that the 40A fuse that is in the fuse block going to my kx400.1 amp is getting melted from the top end that is coming from the battery. Nothing happens on the output end going to amp. Seems that solder that is within the casing of the fuse is being melted & drips out. I have been...

    Rockford Fosgate Punch P6001 or Kicker KX600.1??

    Kicker most definitely. Just as fosgate, kicker underrates their amps. You get more than what you expect.
