whats the lowest you'll go on the amp?

Can you switch back to the old HU and see if your brake lights still dont work? or even remove the kenwood and then try it. Thats really weird though haha

Legal here in CT is 35% but I went with 20 cause it matched my stock back tints. Dark enough so you cant see anything inside the car unless the sun is directly on the window. Its a bitch at night for the first few days but you get used to it. I'd love a 35 on my front but any tint on the windshield here is illegal.

Its probably one of the two I posted unless anything is backwards inside the box, which with this installer, seems like a good possibility.

or Assuming all 4 are dual 2s that is. I recommend not going to that dealer anymore.

What dont you understand?

2002 explorer here, last summer I was driving, heard a winding noise and my overdrive light kept flashing. It wouldnt shift right it was very weird. I shut the car off and turned it back on everything was fine for a while. give or take a month later I pulled up to a stop sign and went to go and at about 3000rpms I heard a very weird banging noise and didnt think anything of it nothing was different. Got to where I was going turned the car off and left about an hour later, When It would shift into second there was no gear, it would just rev until it had enough to shift and slammed into third. Had it towed in, turns out I blew straight through second gear and banged up third pretty bad. I would take it in as soon as possible just so it doesnt get any worse.

Budget?

double post

Im still having trouble with your drawing. Wire it like this. Edit: actually now that Im looking at your drawing more it looks like thats how its wired... someone correct me if I am wrong.

Haha I hear ya, Im pretty sure my stock alt is bigger than 70amp though so your right, Im sure i would be good at 1000-1500rms without seeing too many problems.

Yeah my neighbor has 2 hc600's in his basement somewhere that I can use, just gotta buy the wires. I could fit one of them directly next to my battery upfront and I have the wire to do to hook it up right to the front battery with like 2ft of wire inbetween right now but would that be pointless? Should I just wait and buy the wires and fit in my trunk somewhere closer to the amp?

Well when I set the meter at 13.0 and did it at the amp it went into the 11's but straight from the battery upfront it never fell lower than 12.3.

Isnt that horrible for the amp? I check the voltage coming from the battery or right from the amp? I need to pick one up anyway so I can set my gains properly when the new amp gets here. Yeah Id imagine mine will be fine as well. (hopefully!)

What are you running? I have a stinger voltage meter but I need to meter my batt/amp first before I can set the meter correctly. I set it at 13.0 today just to see what would happen and it dropped into 11.x at one point. So hopefully it idles higher. I can take it to autozone and theyll do it for me right? What do I ask them to meter? My battery? Edit: just saw your sig, your running at a way stronger amp than Ill be though so Im not sure how bad mine would drop.

Yeah I haven't really heard many bad things about the amp so I figured I would pick one up. Yeah Im not sure of the size of the stock alt in this car, I think its 130 amps but I could be wrong. I dont have any dimming issues whatsoever with my m500 that I have right now and once I replaced the stock battery with the one I have now everything ran better. So Im hoping I dont run into any problems with the ap.

okay cool, thanks for the input. Ill do the big 3 soon. You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of that amp would you? I literally have not seen any online. Its not shipping for 8-16 days which sucks but oh well, from what your saying, it sounds like its worth the wait.

Do you think I am gonna have some serious light dimming problems?

I just bought an Audiopipe AP15001D. I have stock electrical but a beefy deep cycle battery and 4guage power wire. I have a some extra feet of 4gauge that Im considering doing the big 3 with I just haven't gotten around too it. Should I be alright or should I do the big 3 before I install this amp? I wont be wiring it down to 1ohm just 2 so I believe its only going to put out (if it does rated) 950rms.

re-check your ground, make sure its on bare metal.

Are you bridging at 2ohms? Cause then your seeing a 1ohm load but your gains are probably way too high.

Every post I have ever read by you shows how much of a dick you are. You could have answered his question without being sarcastic.

Sounds like you blew your subs. Thats the only thing I can think of for the amp not to go into protect mode but the subs are out. Did you double check your RCAs?

Throw another ap3000 in

My first amp was a 4channel boss 800w amp, I had both channels bridged at 2ohms, each sub seeing 400wrms or something like that because it wasnt probably pushing nearly that much being a boss and that thing used to get so damn hot it was ridiculous. I think those amps just run hot.
