    blown amp?

    I must have been in the laziest mood when it happened because when I disconnected the remote wire from the mono, the 4 channel finally turned off (with ignition off).

    blown amp?

    hi i accidentally left the negative attached on the battery and connected the power wire to my mono and then when attaching the ground wire, it sparked. The amp wont turn on now. The 4 channel however is staying on even with the h/u off. Is my remote wire the problem?

    Hey Im gonna run a single se12 at 2 ohms and was wondering if the 1206d is rated accurately enough for me to just go with that, or if I should go with the 1606 and be careful with the gain? Thanks

    how (in)capable is 1975 stock electrical

    Hey ive got a recently restored, 1975 BMW 2002. After replacing the speakers and installing a new 4 channel amp, I'm looking to install this RE SE12 that's sitting in my room. What would I need to do to maintain healthy voltage? Im afraid the alternator is probably pretty lame... Thanks

    Popping/Distortion after adjusting gains

    I went out to try to reset the gain on my 4 channel alpine for my 4 coaxial speakers. I set the gain all the way down and when I turned the stereo on, it would play and then there would be randomly timed loud popping/distortion sounds. The volume was on low, but the distortion was super loud...
