  2. Need Opinion On An Amp For My Mids And Highs

    in Mid's and highs

    Posted

    what do you guys think of this amp for my combo?

    http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=18153

    if I got this amp and ran it to my 5.25 polk speakers in the door and to the rear 5/7s in the rear, or should I run it to the 3.5s in the dash and the door speakers? or is their anyway I can run all my speakers and run it 2 speakers to each channel?

    also instead of running another wire to the rear of my car which is a major pain to keep it hidden and everything, can I run if off the same wire with a distrobution block? if not how could I do it without running another wire to the back of the car? if I have to, I think I'm going to rip all the wiring out of my car and run it under the car, which way would be best?

    thanks for the offer accordman but I dont have the money yet, let me know if you sell it cuz I am interested.

    How would I hook up 8 speakers to a 2 channel amp? 4 to each channel? and would that even be possible or would I blow the amp?

    and why does the guy with only explode stuff sound way better louder and cleaner than me? is it because I'm sending my speakers a bad signal making them distort and sound $hitty

    it depends on what I need and what will work. I don't have much to work with now thats why I was looking into that autotek amp that was under $100 shipped. My highs and mids sound like $hit even compared to a friend with a big old rattling chevy truck with 2 6/9 explodes and 2 explode 6.5s and a 250 watt explode amp, Could the reason my speakers sound so bad is because they require more power than my H/U can provide and its sending it a clipped or dirty signal?

    hey guys in my 89 mustang I have 2 kicker 3.5s in the dash, 2 pyle audio db series 5.25s in the doors, 2 pyle db series 5/7s in the back and kicker 2 tweeters in the a pillars with a pioneer deh 5900 h/u. I know that I need to run an amp to my speakers and that running them off the head unit like i am now is putting a lot of stress on the head unit right? I was thinking of running a autoteck ss100.4 amp to them and running them 2 speakers to each channel. would this work ok? also should I amplify the tweeters? I have never run an amp to speakers and don't know much about doing it any tips or advice? and is $80 plus shipping good for that autoteck amp or should I get a different amp, any recommendations? thanks for any input

    depends on your budget, you dont have to buy the biggest battery possible.

    You can get a powermaster d925 for the same price as a yellow top and it will also put out more power. http://www.jegs.com/i/Powermaster/713/D925/10002/-1

    and if thats still to much, Im sure you could always goto a auto parts store like autozone and buy 1 or 2 cheap duralasts that have the highest cranking amps.

    something like this http://www.autozone.com/R,APP336393/vehicl...oductDetail.htm

    And then just put that 2nd battery as close to the amp as you can with the least amount of wire used. :)

    Yea, but Im also betting that kx800.2 is putting out more power then his audiobahn.

    its fused at 120 amps, 840rms bridged @ 4 ohm 14.4v

    Im thinking that kicker is slightly under rated, and making more then that 840rms :)

    With running a second battery I should run the power wire to the rear like I already am and then run the ground to the frame right?

    yea get a 1000.1 sundown refurbed and a 15" Q if you asked me more powerful lows... and a guy on ROE i know he had 2 12" XXX's and nows hes fitting a DD 9515 so you can fit a descent setup in there

    and as i implied i would go with the Q on the sundown or like he said a kicker 1000.1

    O i know if I wanted to take out the back seats I could fit a huge box in there but I need the back seats in so I don't have that much room

    all right sounds good, What would you reccomend for a battery? I know theres millions of choices but considering all I know of for car audio batteries are kinetic and powermaster but those are a little out of my price range so does it really matter what battery I go with? thanks for all your help I was really scared that my amp was gonna catch fire lol What I got that from is in a lot of peoples sigs it says- noobs plus car audio=voltage drops = fires

    I saw that and was just kinda like scared.

    You are not going to fry your amp from the voltage drops. The amp draws less then 100 amps most likely. Ive seen my friends audiobahn hc2300a drop his voltage into the 10s in his cavi with stock alt, amp still works fine. You only got to worry about frying amps due to low voltage when you have monster amps that are 3 and 4 thousand rms, drawing over 300 amps of current.

    I dont know what audiobahn amp you have, but if it is a HC series, it is high current which means it takes more power for it to make its power.

    You can do the big 3.

    You can upgrade your wire to at least 0 gauge if not already done.

    You can upgrade your battery under the hood, and put a spare one in the trunk.

    Other then that, theres not much that can be done. :mad:

    I heard that If you run 2 batteries that it would kill your alternator, is this true?

    and I have 1 gauge would it be worth it to change to 0 gauge?

    hey guys I've got 2 old skool rockford fosgate 10s with a old 900 watt rms audiobahn amp and I'm getting voltage drops in my 89 mustang.

    I know the stock alternator is a 95 amp alternator but I don't know if the one I have is stock, I'm going to have it checked soon at autozone. Is there anything I can do to other than an alternator, battery and big 3, to stop the voltage drops? or are those the only options?

    I'm going to do the big 3 very soon and then I'm going to get a 130 amp alternator in a couple months.

    What else can I do? I'm scared of frying my amp. I don't know what my voltage is dropping to but I can see my voltage reading drop majorly and the headlights dimm a lot. the headlights dimm so bad that I cannot drive at night while having my stereo on other than having my high beams on but for some weird reason the amp is not getting hot at all even after an hour of strait running.
