Finally finished my install of the stereo system. It was more work than I anticipated, but I am very happy with the outcome. I new the system would be load, but you guyz didn't worn me about hearing loss - load! lol. Wow! And, it is very clear too! Now I need to tune the AMP, which I need to...

Okay, here goes... Booty Music: 1. Turn 'F3' - On 2. Turn 'F1 & F2' - Off Ballgame / Radio: 1. Turn 'F3' - Off 2. Turn 'F1 & F2' - On If correct, what type of switch would I use for F1 & F2?

Heel, Here is another schematic.... If I turn the amp on, then I will get amp power, or the amp powering the speakers. If I turn off the amp, how will the speakers be powered by the Head Unit when I listen to a ball game? I guess I am confused about how to wire with the option to utilize the...

GetLikeMe, So, would this be the wire setup in order to make my amp an option for use - in a nutshell? see attached picture....

So basically, I can add a switch in-between the head unit and amp remote. When I want the amp working I switch It on, and when I just want the head unit amp working I turn the switch off, right? If so, will I have two sets of speaker wire running to the boat speakers? Running from the amp and...

Please see attached for question.... Basically, is it possible to have a switch where I can turn on or off the amp? I am using the amp within my boat, and I would like to save battery juice when possible. I figure if I use the head unit amp when listening to ball games, etc.... I may save...

First, I'd like to thank the members on here for their guidance on amps for my boat. I have finally bought and received the amp, so now I am ready to install - only one problem? I have limited space! Okay, okay, so I should of bought a smaller amp, which I considered, but they seemed to be more...

A very good point! My first choice was for smaller amps because of limited space inside the boat. But, it seems most smaller amps didn't quick have the quality or were to expensive. The reason I almost thru up my hands and went with Audiopipe. A fairly small foot print. Oh well, let's hope I...

Gentleman, I'd like to thank you for you guidance, and responses. I have made my choice and purchased my first ever amplifier! There is no turning back now! So, with that said, on a scale of 1 - 10 (1 = poor, 5 = good, 10 = excellent) how would you rate my final choice (value, performance, and...

Okay Bug, I am turning up the volume on ya here! I decided to do a little more searching before making a choice. The below list is THE final list. I know there are many good amps, but I think I have widdled it down to what I think I'd be happy with. So, if you or other 'verteran amp enthusiasts'...

Will a capacitor help within my audio system on my boat? Maybe more so if I get a Class A/B versus Class D?

Okay, down to the final six .... trying to make it a bit harder for you guys. I have added several others based on recommendations if you could pick 3, I'll make a decision from there: $219 Alpine PDX-2.150 (4 ohms 150w x 2 RMS) (Class D) $180 Arc Audio FD2200 (100w x 2 RMS) Class AB $131...

The ninth finalist would be Arc Audio FD2200? (100w x 2 RMS) Class AB

Okay, after many many hours searching online, reviewing, etc... I have narrowed my search to the following eight (8) finalists. If you had to narrow the field down to three (3) amps, which amps would be your choice? Honestly, I am exhausted, and I can't even see straight. As well as not being...

Bugflipper, Actually, I just made an offer on this amp before I read your post. What do you think about this pick? SoundStream Reference 2.370 If my offer isn't accepted, then it will be between the following: SoundStream Tarantula TX2.350 Diamond Audio 300.2 (as you mentioned below) I...
