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.
-
But what I still don't get is how they can possible hook them all up...
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.

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.

i got tired of dimming headlights so i got hids and never had a problem with dimming headlights ever again, ecept some on guages and shit but thats normal
the better ur electrical the better u will be but u got a bigger alt than i do also, i only got a 70amp alt, but i got big 3 in 0guage, upgraded front battery and a stinger sp800 rear battery, all 0guage wire and only running 1000rms and my lights dim a lil bit and i dont go no lower than into the 13.5v range, but its not nere what my geo useto be, hell when i had my mtx 500d wired to 1ohm wich is a 2ohm minamum amp, every time the bass hit my lights would dim so bad they would cut off, then the car wanted to cut off also lol, dunno what im gunna do when i put a real system in it tho lol
good luck with your system mang, i think u can run up to 1000-1500w depending on stock electrical max with stock and not really mess anything up, u will loose efficiency but the beefier the electrical the better
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?
-
I checked mine at the amplifier and hooked the meter up to the amplifier so I can somewhat watch what the amp sees for voltage. But its your choice really.
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.
-
mine use to drop into the 9s before i got anything upgraded lol
Isnt that horrible for the amp?
Get a quality DMM to check your voltage so you can properly set your Stinger voltage meter. Check before you set, during, and after to ensure the meter is seeing the right number.
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.
youl be fine, had the same amp, all stock, all stock wires... started at 14.0 and only dipped down to 13.xx on full tilt
Yeah Id imagine mine will be fine as well. (hopefully!)
-
I have a steady 12.8 (13.4 at idle with everything off) at full tilt and my lights will dim on kicks.
Stock electrical BTW. No big 3, no bigger/different battery (my next upgrade).
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.
-
its a good amp for the money. im running one at 2 ohms atm until i get my recone for the btl. i have not had any issues at all with the amp. i dont have the big 3 done and i have a hc1400 in the back and my voltage will drop down into the 12's at full tilt on certain songs but usually stays around 13 volts. but you have a bigger alt then me if its going into the vehicle in your sig so you should be fine.
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.
-
google has all the answers you should try it.
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

I dont see why your being so stubborn. Just try the battery you have sitting in you're garage, if it doesnt work then every single person in this thread is wrong. Atleast you can rule that out.
