Kicker KISL will do that and aren't too expensive, if that helps.

Looking for a slider-style EQ for sale. Client wants sliders, not knobs, very specific in that sense. Don't want to go with any of the new 'Boss' or 'SSL' junk available. Dash-mount, so a traditional 1/2 DIN or something similar. Hoping someone may have a Sony XE-90MkII or Alpine ERE-G180 or...

I'm looking for a couple mono amps, spec'd around 300rms @ 2ohms. I don't want anything too fancy, in fact random retro stuff from the 90's you may have in your garage could do the trick. I have a couple oldschool sets of subs that I want to pair up with some amps. I also have an Orion 150.2...

This one: Amazon.com: Schumacher SC-1200A SpeedCharge 12/8/2 Amp Charger/Maintainer/Starter/Tester: Automotive I took it off my car last night and slapped it on an old Optima I had that was at 5.5v. It gave me bad batt a couple times, but took for the most part. Woke up to "bat batt" again...

I am trying out a Schumacher 1200, so far not super impressed, and a little worried after reading the reviews. My optima was at 4v after leaving TVs in my car on all week.. so trying to slow charge it. I had to "Reboot" the charger like 15 times, kept saying "bad battery". Now it's up to around...

The valves are huge inductors, and thus create a huge magnetic field. I have the same click in my system when I hit switches, but it's not as bad as yours sounds. Keep any RCAs and speaker wires away from the valves.. and also try grounding everything to the exact same spot to eliminate any...

Does it have an IP Bus input??

BestBuy's install price on those is pretty fair, just make sure you get a knowledgeable installer. There's some that are geniuses, and some that are just there for a job. Or try it yourself, it's fun lol.

Here's a decent chart to go off of... generally you just add up the fuses on the amp and that's the amperage you base your selection off of.

.5 gain is usually like 2/3 of the way turned up... .5 means .5v line level input, AKA super low, so thus gain would be cranked. For example, setting the gain to "4" would be pretty low. Anways, I think they may have hit the nail on the head, tapping into the inputs of the amp and not the...

Unplug the radio and see if anything goofy happens. I've had error messages on the odometer, losing DIC info/controls, etc. If nothing acts up you're probably OK to just use the cheap harness. Also.. depending on the stock system, it may have the factory amp which IIRC is turned on with...

If it's a pretty common occurance in your car... hook up an ipod to the amp w/ RCA cables (bypass the deck) and play music through that. If it fades in/out... amp If it doesn't... headunit or RCA connections.

Glad everything went well. Nothing worse than a customer coming in screaming about things! I'll toss in my viewpoint, even though a few others have, too. I hate hate hate time budgets on large installs like this. A pair of speakers.. and radio.. even a R/S I can budget for. But a full sub...

There's not all that much to know. Once you get your wire colors/locations it's cake... IIRC the Stratus has 4 door pin triggers, all negative. So you'll have to split the - trigger input into 4 wires, diode isolated (a diode on each, with the band facing away from the alarm brain) Then add...

Have a pair of 2ohm DVC Kicker L7s, and I'm looking for an amp for them! Trying to find something that fits one of these criteria 2x 750 @ 1ohm 4x 375 @ 2ohms 1x 1500 @ .5ohms or 2ohms Shoot me a PM or post it up if you'd like me to give you money
