That's what I've heard, that the yellow tops are pretty much the best option... that could not be further from the truth. optimas are actually one of the worst name brand batteries out there. google them and see how many "bad battery" listings come up. their 6-pack design leaves less room inside fo...

yep, time for a new one.

excellent unit. i have it's big brother, the x993, and love it.

If you go with a new system, remember mark up on retail electronics is usually never less than 40% over wholesale...usually they try and go upwards of 60% mark up. So, if your going new, look for year end close outs at discounted prices. For Instance, my end of the year, is July 1st. I am putting a...

one of the few things i will never buy on cl is electronics, and really not for car audio. most of the ads are written so badly i can picture the person beating the snot out of a system trying to look cool. with the ease of online comparison shopping and multiple discounts readily available there is...

lets just say systems can be had cheap. just gotta know where to look and what to look for. This hole system cost me under three hundred, not including the headunit. And go ahead and flame running two different kinds of subs, young dumb, whatev, but it sounded great, the box was divided, run on two...

But 1TB worh of music is Over kill... And illegal.. LOL i beg to differ. i have well over 9000 store-bought cds from my days as a dj, and everything i encode is at 320k or higher (apple lossless). it is not hard to fill up 1tb with music and certainly can be done legally. someday i will start rippi...

gain does not equal volume. it is used to level match the incoming signal to the amp. saying it is at halfway means nothing as an amp can produce it's full power at "0".

what subs are you running?

how are they wired?

what model is the amp?

what type of power/ground do you have?

i have come to the conclusion that my car doesn't like winter. once the temps warmed back up everything went back to normal and has stayed that way. now i'll just wait til the fall/winter and solve the problem if/when it comes back.

nice. good luck.

gotcha. you would still be better off getting a pair of dual 4ohm subs and wiring them down to 1ohm. it would not only save you money but it would be less of a draw on your electrical system (vs 2 sub amps), and you will be putting a massive load on it already. i run a pdx 4.100 and 1.1000, all powe...

straight from the bestbuy site DUDE, where you said you are shopping, are the specs of the only kicker mono 1000 watt amp: Equip your vehicle with 1000W of sound amplification with this amplifier that features variable low-pass and high-pass subsonic filters with top-mounted controls for sound custo...

according to the bestbuy site they only sell 1 kicker 1000 watt mono amp and the specs said it was 1000x1 @ 2ohm. if that info is wrong then maybe look into buying some subs that are dual 4ohm instead. you may be getting the discount but why spend more money than you need? you will also be making li...

why are you buying 2 mono amps when you only need 1? the cvr are dual 2ohm subs so you can have a final load of 2ohm, which will have the amp produce 1000 watts / 2 subs = 500 to each.

a 4 chan. amp rated at 40x1 fuse. and a mono amp rated at 30x2 fuse, on a stock electrical system. GOOD OR BAD???

go read. all your questions will be answered there.

they have tools that will help you estimate what your system pull will be.

no hotter than any other amp. give it plenty of cooling space and you will be fine.

no problem. the pico fuse is a widely known issue with almost all pioneer head units. most times it is caused by "hot swapping" rca cables (connecting or disconnecting them while the head unit has power) but it has been known to happen on it's own.

hp4lyfe wrote:does the sound get louder as you accelerate? if so you have your power wires to close to your rca wires.

no, that would be an indication of a bad ground.

yep. i just posted a pic of it in another thread within the last few days.

do some research. read the reviews. stick to a name brand and you will be fine.

Pioneer PRS-D4200F

# 4-channel car amplifier
# 75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (150 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)
# 300 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)

good chance you blew the pico fuse. ground the rca connections to the radio.

they are pointless for many reasons, including the fact that the sound waves will bounce all over the place off of the windshield.

ditch the 3.5s. get the alpine or infinity amp.

so hey i was wondering how much of a diffrence these 3 amps have pioneer gmd9500f infinity kappa four apline pdx 4.100 75 x 4 @ 4 125 x 4 @ 4 100 x 4 @ 4 not much overall. pick the one that best matches the speakers you will be running. before you ask us to just match the rms ratings, headroom is a...

i prefer https://www.knukonceptz.com/productDeta ... ID=KBT-30P for terminals.

follow the pic in the thread and you should be done in 1-2 hours depending on your speed. once you have done it a few times it gets much easier - i can have it done in less than 15 mins after pre-cutting the wires.

yes, same length. no, it is not. the only hard part, if you go with 0g, is the fact you have to break off a bit of the plastic housing around the positive post on the alternator to get the ring terminal to fit. even that is not hard to do.

an l7 is not a sq sub and i bet your amp is only doing close to 450 or so rms (assuming 1800 is max, 900 would be realistic but cut that in half for being a boss), which an l7 will laugh at.

come on man, put a little effort into it. electrical how to section.
