Yeah I'll be upgrading my amp. Looking at the Kicker zx2500 or even just using two amps. I have an Alpine M1000 right now.

Currently running 2 10" Kicker CompVR's. Looking at purchasing 2 15" MMATS Juggernaut subs for a massive power boost. Any one have experience with these? I know nothing of the company and looking for feedback/opinions/advice. Thanks in advance.

I`ve got two amps. One is an Alpine MRP-M1000 and one is an Alpine MRD-M1005. When I hook up the 1000 I get sound from my subs, when I hook up the 1005 I get no sound. The subs are wired for 2 ohms, which both amps can handle. What is wrong, do you think, with the MRD-1005

Thanks. I'm planning on using the RF box wizard that they have on their site for the design. I think I'm leaning toward the Kicker 2500.1 amp which about fits your description I think.

No design yet, no.

Going to run a couple of monster subs and I'm looking for insight on the amp. Any suggestions, and why? Thanks in advance! (2 ohm subs)

Pay attention to RMS ratings, not max wattage ratings. Think of RMS as the average amount of power that your speakers can put out. Max wattage is what they might be able to handle for a split second. Run them at that level and they'll die. When choosing an amp, match the RMS output of the...

Use welding cable and save a bunch of money

Re: wiring. I used welding cable for my set up and have no problems and saved a bunch of coin. Everyone says that welding cable is stiff, but no way. I actually have audio cable (stinger) on one amp and welding cable for the other. I'll stick with welding cable in the future. I run the...

I'm new to this and learning fast.... I've got 2 Kicker compvr 10" subs, 400w rms running off an alpine mrp m-1000 amp, 2 ohm wiring. The enclosure I've got is a q-logic box that is tuned to 38hz and is 2 cubic ft total, 1 cubic ft per sub. Not sure if that includes the displacement of the...

Thanks for the suggestions. If I have an o-scope iPhone program and play a frequency tone and simply let the program "listen" it will show a sine wave. Will that work to set the gain? If I turn up the gain will that sine wave eventually clip, just like it would if I had connected terminals to...

Anyone ever use an iPhone app to set the gain? I see that there are a number of o-scope apps available. Don't know if any would serve this purpose or not. Anyone??

Any recommendations? Something very cost effective? Looking at this one. FLUKE 99B SCOPEMETER Series II 100MHz | eBay I'm a little confused though, it says that the bandwidth is 100MHz to 349MHz, far beyond the 50Hz and 1KHz I'll be using for setting the gain. Is there something that I...

When you do the welding cable write up will you start a new thread or post here? Waiting anxiously.... Again, thanks.
