amp

Im having trouble knowing the way to set the amp gain using O-scope for different ohms, lets say the amp can handle 1/2/4 ohms, so when the sub is not attached how do you set the gain with o scope for different ohms? each ohm means different voltage, so how to set the gain for 1ohm in my case?

The Orion HCCA 3000.1DSPLX requires three 300A fuses. Does this mean I need wiring that can sustain 900A of current? (or does this mean I need three 100A fuses?) I have never worked with amps that have more than one power input. I also have to decide on what amp(s) I will be using for my...

My car is a Subaru Forester 2006. Very long story, last June my front left car speaker was starting to make crackling noises, and after about a week it just shut off entirely. These were speakers I had installed back in mid/late 2019. I don't remember the make/model of them, they were around...

Hi, i recently bought a new car audio system (subwoofer, amp, and a high to low level converter). Although after adjusting the amp gain to the max the subwoofer barely moves and underperforms. I know the amp isnt the problem because its supposed to deliver 1900 rms in 2 ohm and my subwoofer is...

Hi all, I'm new here and I've come in search of some expert knowledge! I've been into car audio ever since I passed my drivers test back in 2006 and I used to dabble a lot then with amplifiers and subwoofers. Around 2015 I undertook the task of running new speaker wire through into the doors of...

I'm adding aftermarket rear speakers to a 4 channel amp, sub (mono bridged), and 2 front door speakers. My question is, is it safe to chain the front and rear speakers - so rear positive to front positive, rear negative to front negative, front pos/neg to amp channels? Or should I just play it...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my situation (probably fairly obsolete these days) Quick rundown of the parts: Ford E250 camper - has "common ground" speaker wiring. Only one ground is shared between all speaker positives. Alpine UTE-BT73 head unit - has "floating...

Last week my sub fell over on its face when I took a corner too fast. Afterwards my amp would go into protect when I turn up the volume. I checked my sub for any damage and couldn't find any visually. I measured the ohms and it reads 2-2.5 ohms at the sub terminals. I also measured the speaker...

Im trying to set up a sub and amp in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT. I got everything set up correctly but when the volume is turned up past a certain point it begins to cut out and crack. I suspect my factory stereo is lacking wattage but I'm not 100%. What do I need to do to eliminate this issue?

Howdy. I had an amp installed a while ago, and am just tired of the engine whine. I'm also getting distortion or interference from either the brake lights or the wiring. The guy who installed said he tried multiple locations for the ground, and settled on the one in the attached picture. It...

Let me start with some back story. The photo attached is of my 2x 10" kicker subwoofers, 600 watt kicker amp, and a 2.5F capacitor. This went in my 2013 mini cooper and worked amazingly well for the year i had it in there. I have since sold the coop as multiple, EXPENSIVE, problems arose but i...

Hey all, I'm getting a 2017 Ram 1500 crew cab and I want to put a couple 12" subs under the back seats. I was thinking of running them into a monoblock doing 8ohms, for extra accuracy & detail (as opposed to 4ohm or 2ohm.) I'm not a Basshead so absurd SPL isn't what i'm looking for... I was...
