hey, looking for an amp to run two 12" CompVR 4-ohm DVC's....so 800w @ 1-ohm for around $300 shipped. Some I've looked at include: the Hifonics BXi 1610D the Orion HCCA-D2400 the MB Quart DSC 1500.1D the MB Quart PAB 1200.1D.....all range around $250-290 and I remember a few people saying the M...

In a car with a factory head-unit how do you hook up an amp, specifically the remote turn-on wire? Car in question is a 2001 Grand Am GT and I was wondering if there was some way I could trick the amp into turning on without an aftermarket unit. Thanks in advance for the help.

don't worry about it high society, i probably worded it in a confusing manner. no leaks in the prefab box, but i am going to design a new system. my major for college was ID/transportation design(industrial design with a focus on designing cars, trucks, bikes, boats, etc.(the design, appearance port...

Manufacturer, Make and Model of vehicle? most likely you have done 1 of 2 things: a) you have somehow contracted "sticky door pin" disease. depending on your vehicle it could be a separate door pin located near the hinge assembly or it could be integral to the latch itself. b) you have ma...

High society....I don't need them there while making the box, but come fall when I have some change and the box done, I was just looking for some suggestions as to which subs thrive in sealed boxes. So, to clarify I won't be purchasing for a few months, I just thought I'd see what people thought abo...

Okay, i'll check the door pins out in the morning, thanks chris. I'm also gonna pull my cd player back out, as well as remove the lower half of my dash, to access all the wiring and look for a possible short. hopefully its something easily fixable, i appreciate all the help.

Haha...hi society is a funny guy. Anyway, thanks for the help cargodz...what would you, or anyone else, recommend for a 1 ohm stable amp with adequate power for the 2 kickers? And one more question...what are a few of the "best" bumping 12s that you can get for a sealed box? Because it loo...

Haha, all good points. Yeah, I actually am glad that I don't have to worry about tickets from area police officers(in my area they love tagging younger people) but I was just curious as to how I could turn it into a show car for parking lots and other areas that people like to show off at. I usually...

Oh yeah...i'm looking for a boom car, which I belive is SPL? After reading the FAQ, some of the other posts and such, it looks like a ported box would probably be better for my subs? Does anyone how much of an effect this would have, switching from a sealed to ported with the kickers? **edit** my ga...

So, just recently I installed my first system. I have a Kicker 750 mono amp wired in series to two Kicker CompVR 12s 4 ohm dvc in a sealed Qlogic box. This setup has been causing hella electrical problems in my car (as evidenced by my other post)but I also have some audio questions. What are some co...
