  1. it can be ran at half ohm without a problem but it'll void the warranty thanks man
  2. Ive heard people say they have, but i had a 3500.1 and tried to run it at half and it got real warm. thanks
  3. figured i would add to this questoin on the AQ amps has any1 every had 1 ran 1/2 ohm daily? i have a ascendent audio 18" daul 1...think of getting the AQ but dont know what it would do at that ohm load or how good it would do @2ohms...input on this would be awesome thanks
  4. get the sundowns you wont be disappointed if you build a good box....just make sure its super strong cause they will bust out of a weak box...trust me i know
  5. cheap walmart rca's 2.96....... earbuds 5.99 electric tape 0.99 walmart time spent spliceing 5 mins haveing all your friend try to figure out how you have killer bass&SQ on ur pc.....priceless!!! ive been doin these cords for @8 years and never knew they sold em
  6. this may not be the right way but its fast and cheap.......... take a old pair of headphones and cut the wire from the headphones leaving you with a headphone jack and wire.next cut a pair of rca cords to desired length. strip both cut ends.take the reds twist and tape,whites twist and tape bare wires twist and tape...then pulg the rca's in the stereo,ipod to headphones and ur in business...i use these cords on my ipod,pc and other devices. as far as hooking a sub to the home receiver its just like hooking a sub in the box it came from...if not i would look @ radio shack for crossovers and floow its instructions...hope this helps also i run walmart daul 12"S on my pioneer reciver @100 wtts eacd and it sound graet and has worked for 3 years...lol(yea im cheap)

  10. easy way to see if ur alt is charging as it should is to disconnect the power from the batt while the car is running if it dies u need a new alt 4 sure...(negative or positive wire it dont matter just be careful with that positive wire)also you could have a dead cell in that bat i would get a bigger bat A.S.A.P and then work on a 2nd bat...also did you do your big three? it will help a lil even with a stock alt
  11. i would do the big three and also run at least 1 0 gauge wire from the frame in the rear to the body so you know you have a good grounds ...also make sure all grounding points are clean bare metal...when u do ground to the body from the inside i would use at least a 8mm/ 5/16 bolt with nut and lock washers.....i usually use my seat belt bolts cause there is a wide piece of metal to act as a clamp.and a extra batts is NEVER a bad idea...good luck hope this helps u get that powa
  12. i got all mine on Amzon i think it was like 10 bucks for 20 0gauge ring termals
  13. i would say go with the birch....i have my first birch box and i love i have always used mdf but it seem to break apart easy..what i have noticed is there is less dust in my truck when i bump, no more box blow outs and it is lighter and looks better ....the bad is it is hard to work with if ur a noob(like me...lol) and it cost more but i say try the birch you wont go back
  14. i have always used MDF but i now own my first birch box after my 12" sundowns broke a pre fab BBox and my home made mdf slot ported box..the 3 layer brich is way stronger,smell better,has less dust and looks great it cost a bit more than the MDF ...but i will never use MDF again now that i have tryed the birch
  15. happy birthday buddy!!!

  16. i have 1995 Honda passport and i have been told it is a good stereo truck...put a mechman alt on it all i had to do is stretch the alt bracket...lots of room under the hood and my windows are pretty straight with little curve in them ...side to side it is 49"@wheel wells .i have x2 sundown sa 12"s doin a 145.4 in a midwest legal spl box on music(i think im a 146 since my subs broke in) i run a hifonics hfi2500.1 with 3 extra batts....truck books for $1700 ude with 160k mile so its a good cheap system truck .........hope this helps cause i know i like my truck and its 17mpg
