Hey euro, I have a 98 jetta tdi with a blaupunkt san jose mp41. I love it, It plays my mp3 disks and displays the name of the songs, it provides pre amp outputs and its sound is crystal clear. But, one thing i was disapointed about is the lack of an equalizer, but like i said, the sound is...

Okay, how do you charge a cap? Thanks Chris P.S. Sorry for asking such a dumb question.

xbwfo, I rewired them today and they pound! I had them running parallel @ .5 homs and they bottomed out, but when i re-wired them @ 2 ohms they stayed smooth and clean. I had it at full power for about 6 minutes and the amp didn't blow the alpines, but the amp was on the warm side. Other...

something like this?

disregaurd, wrong thread

well its 2 ohms per voice coil, 2 voice coils per driver with 2 drivers, shouldn't it be running at like .5 ohms or am i wrong about that? Im just trying to figure out if the subs are making the amp pull more juice than its supposed to and causing my electrical system to work harder than it...

Okay, I have 2 DVC 12" alpine SWR-1221D Type R's which are rated 2ohms per voice coil, in my box that is being powered by a MTX8100d amp (which is only rated in a 2 ohm load and a 4 ohm load). The Subs are each wired parallel. Correct me if im wrong, but wouldn't that be a 1ohm load on the...

Yeah, I looked up the recomended cubic feet for it and its 1 cu. ft. Im on ebay looking for a box but no one seems to have a box that small, I guess ill have to make one.

thanks guys, Good idea on the box, I didnt even think about that. What kind of box do you recomend then? That alternator is going to be tricky, I have a VW Diesel and not a domestic, so upgrade parts are very hard to find. If any of the VW people know something that will help out I would...

Im having problems with my system, my head lights dim and the CD skips. I figured that it was because I didnt have enough juice running to the amp(which pulls 1500 watts). I added a 1 farad cap, but it still dims out and skips. If I add another cap, or switch to a 3 farad cap will it help...

I would suggest a blaupunkt T class if you want efficency. They aren't made to put out a million watts but they have a clean sound to them and i highly recomend blaupunkt products.

Aight, I had a 5 amp fuse (Stupid me) I switched to a 30 amp fuse and well see how it works, I had it running for about an hour and so far i haven't poped one. Thanks for the Fuse info, next I think ill bump up to a 4 gauge wire!

Aight, heres my problemz.. I have a Sony Xplod 1200 watt amp, its connected with an 8 gauge wire. But for some reason I keep poping the Fuse, the one on the line from the battery to the fuse in the engine (not on the sub). Anyone know why? Is the Gauge not large enough or what else? If...

I have a new San Jose MP3 player and I love it, All my ice in my car is Blaupunkt and I wouldn't have it any other way. The Hamburg is top of the line, the Sound is excelent and the FM reception is awesome. The only thing i dont like is the fact that they dont make one with a CD player only a...

Hi im a new member. Got a few questions. I have a VW jetta, I want to add a sub woofer to my system and i want it to sound good. But, I dont want my subs to over power my full ranges and tweeters. To get better imaging, should I bother amping my speakers and tweeters to the same amperage as...
