The best way to figure out if you will need a High output alt is to hook your system up, and take you car to a alt shop that can test the AMP draw on your elec system. Most cars use about 50 to 70 amps with all your lights on and A/C on and so on. 99.9% of car makers will put the smallest alt...

For some reason your distro block is getting way to hot. How is your distro block mounted, and what is it mounted to. Is it mounted to ANY metal in the car? If so you Might have a case grounded fuse block. I know it is hard to do seeing most fuse blocks are made of plastic.

It really depends on the quality of the enclosure. It also depends on the sub, cone flex, and many different things. But bottom line 2 12's i feel have a slight advantadge over 1 15. That is not saying 1 15 will not make your ears hurt. Not to mention a single sub enclosure is easier to...

DO NOT hook up your amp and put a fuse in. See if it pops, if it does not then your amp is shorted. If everthing is good until you hook up your amp then you very well may have an amp that has an internal ground short. Sorry posted this prior to the answer. I type SLOW

The RCA POWER wire will always be a hot topic. I have been installing stereos for 20 years, and I know basic laws of elec says you are not supposed to be able to pick up noise from a A/C sig (which your RCAS are) and a DC Signal (which your power wire is). To answer this from experience is YES...

You are also releasing a problem when you remove the seat. From reading your post, you said you sealed your trunk, and you have a ported box. You box still requires the movement of AIR to sound up to its full capabilities. You are starving your Speakers of air. When you moved the back seat...

There are so many different things you can use. Depending on the jig saw will depend on the quality of the cut. Some jigs have a blade you can pivot 360 degrees while you are cutting. Bottom line is take your time and do not force your cuts. Use a fresh sharp blade and you will be fine. If...

The problem is you are going to have to find a shallow mount sub. Most of the higher watt subs are not shallow mount. You are going to have to go with a sealed box. I have the same thing under my truck seat. I bought 2 concept 10's for that truck. It ***** unless you are willing to give up...

Well your web designer ONLY puts what you tell him to put. From reading the Q & A it sounded like reading a book report from my kids. I would take it out, rewrite it with complete sentences, and STOP TALKING DOWN TO PEOPLE. We all do not have the I.Q. of a 2yr old. Next is do not get a...

Well for the 40.00 you will spend in install you get the 1 year theft coverage, and you get and extended warrenty of 2 years longer than most companies. You do not have to, and I know most people have additional coverage on their insurance for theft, but I did it just for the extra 2 years of...

YES you can touch the + and - but the problem is the stored power HAS TO GO somewhere. And when you are dealing with that much AMPS stored it could KILL you if you do it wrong.

The 3 year and 1 year theft is ONLY good if the AUTHORIZED eclipse dealer INSTALLS your HU. Even if you buy it there and install it yourself they only give you a 1 year warrenty and NO theft caverage.

my calculations come up with 3.844, and that is not factoring the port, or basket displacment. 3.679 with 3/4 inch MDF. The first numbers were using 5/8 MDF
