    Ok to connect subs to rear rca??

    For some reason yesterday the sub rca outs on my head unit stopped working. In fact, smoke started coming from it...I have no clue why this happened as I've been running my setup for months without problems. Anyways, I get no output whatsoever from the sub rcas now but if I connect the sub amp...

    Help me choose...

    I'm looking to upgrade from 3 Kicker CVR's to TWO 12's in a sealed enclosure. I've narrowed it down to 3, either the Kicker CVX, Diamond D6, or OZ Matrix Elite. They're all around the same price range. I have about 1500 watts to give them - D6 is rated 600rms, CVX 750, and Oz 700. I'm looking...

    Is it really necessary?

    Yeah, I think i'm gonna order a 1/0 power wire from KnuKonceptz and get a 250amp fuse along with it and a new distro block to accept 1/0 input. Might as well...

    Is it really necessary?

    I've got a 2000 Ford Explorer running stock 95A alternator with 4 gauge power wire running from the battery to a distro block, then one side is 4 ga going to a 1600wrms amp powering 3 subs, and the other side is 8 ga going to a 300watt Kenwood amp powering my 2 front door speakers. Everything...

    What amp for 2 12" CVR's?

    I've got 3 CVR12s running in my '00 Explorer with the stock alternator and battery with no probs. If you don't sit and listen to your system for a long time w/o the car running you should be ok. My 3 subs are powered by a HiFonics BXi1606d which is rated at 400wRMS @ 1 ohm, so each sub gets...

    Need a good amp for 4 12's

    By next week I'll have four 2 ohm Kicker CVR12s and I need a new amp to power them. I have a $300 budget. Right now the BXI series from HiFonics is lookin pretty good: Should I get the 1200w amp...

    Box Question

    Actually, I forgot I already have a box for 2 subs that I used before. I'll just get another of the exact one for like $60 and face the two boxes toward eachother. That should sound as good or better than what I have now despite the fact they won't be facing the rear window, right? Thanks for...

    Box Question

    I need a good box for 4 Kicker CVR12s. The prob is that my Explorer only has room for 40" wide enclosures and all boxes for quad setups are 53" or more. Since building my own box is outta the question...I'm looking for one already made. Saw this one on eBay...

    Different Ohm subs in same box?

    I have two 2 ohm CVR12's running on a mono Hypnotic 600w amp. I also have one 4 ohm CVR12 wired to an old Kenwood 300+w 4-channel amp (cant think of the name right now...). Currently the two on the Hypnotic are in their own box while the Kenwood one is in a single box. I want to buy another 4...
