    Keeping your amps cool

    Ever since summer hit I have a problem with my amp going into protect mode. Anyone else notice this? I had no problems all winter with the volume super high. I turned off the bass boost and turned the gains down some and it is a bit better but still shuts down every now and then even at...

    Lookie what i found.

    One of the first systems I ever had was Orion cobalt in 1993 I think. After my Sherwood 240 was stolen and I blew a Coustic 360 I had 2 cobalt 12's, infinity kappa mids and highs all running off of one cobalt 430. 2 channels bridged at 2ohms for the subs and the other two stereo at 2ohms for...

    OFF Brand amps, AND your opinions

    I can vouch for Audiopipe. I have the 15001d and it rocks. I did have a problem with one after about 6 months and they sent me a brand new amp no questions asked. They stand behind their products!

    Amp goes into protection mode

    I had one of those converters a long time ago with a similar problem. I would bench test the amp without the converter. Could be a short in the converter or connections to the converter which would affect the rest of your electrical system seeing that a stock radio is tied into the stock...

It sounded really good and people couldn't believe it was only 2 10's in my suv. Recently it started going in and...

    Toyota Suquoia Build part 1

    tuned to 32 hertz. Below RF specs, but I wanted to get as much as possible out of the 10" subs. Won't be running the amp at full anyway so I think it will sound good and should be safe. I have an Audiopipe 15001d on the way........

    Back in the game, finally......

    It's been almost 12 years since I installed a system in a vehicle and boy have things changed. I have been reading the forum for a couple of weeks and just registered today. This used to be my number one hobby. My last system was all Orion components when they were at their peak. Too bad...
