Excellent idea, and I was thinking the same earlier. But my earlier thought was to use the loc and rca inputs, and that alone would eliminate the tx thump. But I see I would need to do this in tandem with the switch on the turn on. Yes, I believe that would work! I even have the loc, but...

Why, out of 4 input wires plus a ground, will one shut the voltage off to all of the wires. I am not doubting your correctness, I am just trying to understand. Thanks

Hi, I installed a ppi 650.1 in my car using the high level inputs from my existing factory stock sub. I have a 2013 Kia Optima with Infinity sound system. The factory sub is an 8" dvc sub. It seems that the high level inputs also turn the amp on, with no need for with turn on lead being...

Excellent install. Looks great! Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

1 quality 12 can hit quite nicely given the recommended amount of clean power. I have a small vehicle and although not as sporty as yours, still doesn't have a lot of cabin or hatch volume. I am running 1 12in type r 4 ohm off of an alpine 500 watt sub amp. My hu is a pioneer DEH 80prs. I...

FINAL UPDATE!! I just knew that the rf amp was bad, so I went out and bought an Alpine mvr-m500 mono amp. Installed that, and wammo, no cutting out problems! But also, the bass is much stronger, louder and smoother than it ever was with the Rockford amp. I have owned a total of 6 Rockford...

Wow, hey, thanks very much. I used to work in the electronics field. I started out troubleshooting system boards, and repairing them, and then moved on to system test and troubleshooting. I really appreciate the complement!

I am sure it is the amp itself. There seems to be a problem in the output stage of this amp. It has power, ground is good, no shorted wires, sub tests out fine. But, the output of this amp is intermittent. I spent quite a while troubleshooting the problems. Pretty much checked every wire in...

UPDATE Noticed that even when the bass control knob light goes off, the amp still has power light on, just no output. At first I thought that it was the modular cord connected to the bass knob. So, I removed that from the circuit. Still same bass off, bass on problem. Pulled hu, checked all...

Hi, In brief, my system consists of the following: HU: Pioneer 80prs Main amp: RF Punch p400-4 Sub amp: RF Prime 750 Front Components: Polk db6501's Sub: Alpine 12" type R wired at 2 ohms. Plus, both power and grounds use distribution blocks. Chassis ground is good. Signal wires...

I have done so, and the sound has really come alive. Back are the highs and mids. But, I am just convinced I can do better with improved speakers, so, back to the matter at hand, which shallow I could swear I saw somewhere that there are shallow mount components around 1.5". Can't remember...

I am not sure exactly. What I mean is, they no longer sound crisp, bright, or smooth in the mid range. I have a pioneer DEH 80prs and I know I need to set the xover better and eq it to a greater extent, but since I obtained this new hu, and have gone active, the polls just don't sound...

Can you tell me the max top mount depth of these drivers? So far, my reading has shown that they reviews are very good. Have you actually used the other set I presume you own? Describe your impressions of the sound. Let me know the cost please. Are these the complete package of DDCS 6.5's...

I found the CS 6.5 set from DD audio. Anyone heard of these and are they any good? The mount depth is 50mm. Also found these: Phantom Series 6.5" 80-Watt Shallow-Mount 2-Way Component Set Precision Power - Any opinion on these?I Also these: Infinity Reference 6030cs 6.5-Inch 270-Watt...

Hi, I currently have a set of Polk db6501 components in my 2008 chevy aveo with 1" spacers used in the doors. I want to replace these. I need a ridiculously shallow driver for the door; Please advise on all components that would fit this installation. Thanks, Jason
