OK so Im not stupid Im just a chick who bought a new car and the cd player isnt hooked up. There was a system in the car and the previous owner removed the amp and the subs (boo) now the CD player wont even power up. There's a wire that hangs down in the trunk that was hooked to the amp and I...
Hey guys I have a few questions about the wiring I'm going to be doing for my sound system.
BIG 3 UPGRADE
First of all I'm doing the "Big 3 Upgrade" with 0-gauge wire. I'll be using wire from a welding shop as it's cheaper, and the fuse block I'll put in is this one: Raptor 1/0 Gauge ANL Fuse...
I recently bought an Alpine Type R 12", it's boxed and mounted on the box is a 1600W MTX Thunder 801D. I have a '97 Volvo 850 with the factory deck in it.
I'm looking at buying a "Brand New Rockford Fosgate Rfk4x 4 Gauge Amplifier Install Kit Made of 100% Pure Crystal-oxygen Free Copper" off...
I am selling my Sony XM-1S mono subwoofer amp out of my wife's Altima. It works perfectly. She damaged the sub, and I'm not replacing it, since she doesn't care, so the amp is no longer needed. This amp has an extremely small footprint, and I was using it to run 1-8" Polk MOMO sub @ 4ohms. I am...
I have been contemplating getting either 5 or 6 subwoofers. So I am trying to estimate what ohm load (series or parallel) that would be in order to plan for sub, amplifier and box build cost.
I am currently interested in:
5 subwoofers DVC (2 ohm)
6 subwoofers DVC (2 ohm)
Currently have 2...

So I'm very new to all of this and I want your guys input!
1) So the only part of my system i actually have is a 2004 Honda accord and two 15 inch 1500rms watt subs. I'm only going to be using one of them because i have no room or reason for two.
2) I want a good sounding system that isn't...
So I have a 2002 Nissan Altima sl, which includes the stock bose system. I'm fairly new with car audio, but I've read up and researched a good deal. I just have absolutely no idea what to do to get everything to work. Everything other than the input wires to my new amp is set up and ready to...
I have a simple sound system in my car, 4 JL speakers, tweeters, kenwood stereo, infinity amp hooked up to my speakers and my 10" JL sub. My dad doesn't use his JL 12" sub with a JL mono amp hooked on top of the box so I'm going to hook it up in my car. I know this might sound easy to any of you...
Last year I had new speakers installed and they've got really good sound quality. However, I've been listening to more bass filled music lately, and I have no bass in my system at all. I've got about $650 and I have no clue about sound systems. I'd be extremely thankful if anyone knowledgable...
I have a stock head unit in my 2004 Dodge Stratus and would really like to keep either the same stock head unit or to put a different compatible stock head unit (I do not want to intall an aftermarket head unit if I dont need to). The only problem with that is that the stock unit only has a...
Hi,
I bought my car and it came with what i believe are some pretty sick sounds and I'd like to know if they are wired correctly.
I don't know exactly what specifications i need to tell you as i know very little about electronics and car audio but this is a project car for me so I need to...

Hello,
So I'm a first-time user here and I own a 1963 Nova with pretty much original everything INCLUDING the fact that the original owner ordered it WITHOUT a radio (so there is a rare factory-installed delete plate where the radio should be).
I'm in the process of installing an amp either...
Ok, I have 2 Alpine Type-E 12" connected to a Boss PH2.800 1600w amp (2 x 260rms at 4ohms) and a 3.5 farad capacitor. Now, I have a little issue with the capacitor, when I turn up the volume for more than 20 the voltmeter goes off and the capacitor start making a beep sound.
I have a 4 gauge...
So i have a Hifonics Brutus amp BXI2006D
its a mono amp and at 2ohm pushes 1300watts
(since its mono it splits 1300 evenly into two subs right? so 650watts each?)
but it has two (-) and two (+) slots like a 2channel amp
i also have 2 12" Alpine type Rs - 1800watts peak / 600 watts RMS 2ohms...
