    What should I do?

    I am happy with it. It's the first amp that I have ever owned though so I don't really have anything to compare it with. I did notice that setting the gains by ear got a bit more out of it than with a DMM so either my ears **** (very possible) or it's underrated. Sorry I can't be more help.

    What should I do?

    Umm.. a Ford Contour that will never take that much wire. I need to cover doing the big 3 with it though and I like to have a little bit of overkill on my wiring.

    What should I do?

    I have a little bit of money set aside that I can use for my system. I am looking at either buying some sound dampener or a sub amp and a 50' roll of 1/0 wire. I'm just not sure what would be more beneficial especially since I only have stock electrical and it would only be a jump of 300 watts...

    How much room does a port need to fire?

    52"-45"=7" 7"/2=3.5" Wouldn't you have 3.5" between wall and port?

    sub placement?

    finally found some good information (i think) so replies are no longer necessary.

    sub placement?

    OK, since nobody has anything to say, subs and port down.

    sub placement?

    This is generally the idea, but I wanted the gain from the ported box and the decreased excursion as I would be concerned with the amount of output I would be able to get on the low end if I used a sealed box as I only have about 25mm xmax on a 12. From what I have read (from this forum which...

    sub placement?

    I guess that I should have probably specified since I do not know if it would get different responses, but I am more interested in SQ than SPL as I am sure that there will not be a problem with it keeping up with my front stage. Happy to provide any additional information if requested. Are you...

    sub placement?

    i am sure that this has been talked about, but i **** at using the search function so i didn't find it... so, to the question. i have a trunk car and i was just wondering what sub/port orrientation seems to work the best in general. i have generally seen sub and port back but i honestly have no...

    what's wrong?

    so umm... i may sound like an idiot but... how do i ground them?
  12. J

    what's wrong?

    yeah it is. would this problem just randomly show up if it's the rca's needing to be grounded?

    what's wrong?

    doesn't happen with the car off. that's what's throwing me off...
  14. J

    what's wrong?

    Turned my car on and there is a umm... screeching noise coming through my speakers. This only happens when the key is in the "on" position (but not necessarily turned on). In the accessory position the music is fine, but it's kinda hard to drive down the road without the key in the on...

    Show Me A TC-9+

    I wish that I had time to research this because you have gotten me quite curious about this now, but the first that came to mind about this is the RL-P18. I may be completely off, but I thought that series used TC-9 motor and the 18 has a "beefed up 215 ounce magnet structure." Just a thought...
