    Stick with SA-15 or upgrade?

    Right now I have a stockish battery with something like 450cca and a stock 110 amp alternator. The car is a 2008 Nissan Versa Hatchback. Now, I have a red top optima in my other car, which doesnt run, with 800cca. I am pretty sure the battery will fit, atleast long enough to get one that does...

    Stick with SA-15 or upgrade?

    I started thinking about that after I posted this. Kinda realized before I try to get more power I either need a bigger batt or bigger alternator. Which should I replace first? Only alternator I can find for my car is a 180 amp. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Stick with SA-15 or upgrade?

    I recently bought a new amp, the CAB-1600.1, and with it doing so well I am wondering if I should upgrade my sub as well. I currently have an SA-15 D2 in a roughly 4 cube box. I know the SA will handle atleast 1200 of clean power, but as this amp makes 1600+ easily I am wondering if I should...

    Help with amp install problem

    I'm hoping that as it was only for a few seconds I didnt damage my SA-15. If I did? Well, been wanting to get a zv4 anyways. So it was most likely just a bad amp then? Going to give a replacement a shot, if that one messes up too then going to just ask for a refund. Sent from my Nexus 6 using...

    Help with amp install problem

    Well, I purchased a new amp to replace my Pioneer GM-D8601 in my 08 Nissan Versa. I bought the Car Audio Bargain CAB-1600.1 and planned on only setting it at about 1200 watts for now. Figured 1200 was safe on an SA-15 until my o-scipe shows up. To install the amp I pulled the 4 gauge kit and...

    Help tracing a short

    I used the adapter harness to wire up the stereo. I have tried disconnecting the remote line, pulling both the radio fuse and the amp fuse, and disconnecting the RCA'S. Will get the DMM out later today and see if any wires have power going to them that shouldn't. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Just removed the cars radio fuse, the amp fuse, and unhooked the remote lead and RCA'S from the stereo. Connected the ground and plugged in the stereo and still get feedback with the stereo off.

    Help tracing a short

    I ran the power wire down the driver side of the car and the RCA's and amp turn on down the passenger side. I havent touched any of the wiring. Only thing I've done recently is utilize my car to assist starting a flooded Mazda RX-8 (de-flood procedure requires alot of starter use.) My car does...

    Help tracing a short

    About a week ago I was driving home and had the radio turned up and the sub turned on. Started to hear alot of feedback in one of my rear speakers. Turned off the radio as I pulled into my driveway and didn't think anything of it. Next morning the radio wouldn't turn on at all. Fast forward to...
