    12" DVC 1200 watts

    Playing any higher than 80 Hz through a sub won't sound good, that's really where you need good speakers or a couple mid bass drivers Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk

    Speakers don't come on until RCA cables are unplugged and plugged back in

    The output from the back of the deck is most likely a high level output, therefore what you are doing is trying to feed your amp 6 to 12 volts when all that it is able to handle is maybe 4 or 5 volts. RCA's on your amp are a low level input, meaning they will only take a low level signal (.2...

    Winisd giving unrealistic numbers with a soundstream r3-15

    I am trying to build a box for a soundstream r3-15 but winisd is throwing huge numbers (250 cu.ft. box, 150 in long port). I have tried changing some parameters to see if that would change anything, I've double triple checked units and numbers, but to no success. Hopefully somebody can help...

    rookie mistakes...arced my amp...Please help!!!

    The gauge cluster problem seems very odd... I don't really know what's up with that, and as for your volts, it could be a bad alternator. With the van running you should be seeing 13.3 to 14.4 volts. If you are lower than that you most likely have a charging issue with the alternator. If your...

    Check to see if any protection lights at on once it turns off. Have you made sure that the impedance are matched up correctly (if the amp says 2 ohm stable or has a power output rating at 2 ohm then your sub needs to be 2 ohm or greater). Also make sure your gains are not pinned to the max Sent...

    1998 Ford Ranger Sundown SA-12

    So last January my buddy got his drivers license an being 17 he wanted a better sound system than the paper-plate-speaker system that was already in there. I told him that if he got the head unit I'd get get him a sub and amp and install it for him. I know what you are thinking, " oh man this...
