check all the grounds ...also the BCM controls all those things actin up the pcm control's the fans my guess would be that when the installed the new computer they programed something wrong....also i looked on alldata and there is a bulletin about corrosion on the the conctoins and lose plugs ...bad thing is that is is located behind the left instrument panel.....good luck man message me if you need any help and i help u as much as i can

mine did the same thing on my honda passport i just spun it around and used 2 nuts to tighten it down .1 to hold it and the other to lock them in place

alt is out should be @14 volts running and 12.8 off ...put the car on a batt charger and see if it starts ...when it does pull the postive wire from the batt ...if it dies u need a alt...

you have a blown fuse or short some where ....wtf were you doin trying to connect wires? man that i s a good way to screw some1s car up fast!get a schematic of the wireing and fuse points and go from there fisrt thing you do on a cranks but dont start is check fuse's

i would agree with every1 else on the neutral safety switch ...if it is not that my next guess would be the ignition switch ...not the key but the wireing that the key makes the connection to

try http://car-part.com/ its where i find all my used parts (if that the route you want to go) if you look you will see you can search by price ,part grade and distace....hope this helps

caps are bad...they drawe power more time then they put out...sounds like you have some issues...i would check the alt output (should be 14volts or better runnin) and you bat should set @12.6 -13volts with the car off. do the big three and check all your connections and you should be doin a lil better...good luck man

congrats to all the winners!

i would check to see if your getting rca out put as well...with you having the remote wire shorted on the ground you could have also damaged the head unit as well...always use the proper size wire....good luck man

yes i would def get some extra batts in there...550cca is a small batt to be running big sound on ur amp is gonna take power where ever it can get it ..via the alt or extra batts i would shop around on battery prices i got a sriken 45 amp hour(im sure i spelled it wrong...lol) for $120 something on sonic it made a huge difference before i got a new alt ... it will not solve all your issues but you will be able to beat longer with less voltage drop till you get a alt....

desided to try my hifi 2500 @0.5ohm and t seems to be ok and kinda likes it...lol ran it for 10 mins while tuneing the amp and it got warm but not close to hot...pounded it for another 30 mins or so and it hasnt got hot or shut down yet...of course i have a ok chargeing system tho....i will update if it breaks or shuts down...

i agree it pounded my sundownsa-12"S really nice but as u say it dont do the claimed power

i put my mids and hi's amps behind my back seats all the time never have had any issues i even USED to mount my sub amps to the rear seats in my grand am and have not had a issue yet...i do put thick rubber spacers under the amps to get the vibratoin down some and to help them keep cooler

depends on the ohm load... i have a daul 1 ohm 18 on my hfi2500 and it gets loud and moves air but its dont seem to be as it should cause i have to run it @ 2ohm instead of 1 ohm...it will give you clean power but i dont think the hfi does there rms power like the older bxi series amps do... what voice coils do you have? and will ur electrical hold up? hifonics WILL snatch 1 volt from a stock chergeing system as soon as you turn it on ...they a re great amps but power hungry just keep that in mind

lol ...im in the same boat i have run the hifinics amps for @ 4 years and like them alot i would stay away from the hfi and shot for a bxi model ...i have had 5 bxi1608ds and have never had a issue i currently have a hfi2500 it sounds good but dont seem to put out the claimed power...with the bxi i have had scores of low 140s (on 1600 watts rms) and i have got 145.4 with the hfi 2500.1 with x2 sa12's they send out pretty clean power /sound for half the price of sundown amps....scratch that im a dumb ass it just seen u are looking for .5 ohm stable hifonics will get mad and shut off but they love 1 ohm

it can be ran at half ohm without a problem but it'll void the warranty thanks man

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

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

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

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

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)

i used to super glue razor blades to my deck and wiring harness...had some leave a blood trail from my truck down the drive deck was still hanging by the wires...lol but i couldn't agree more about the 2way alarm being a must if you have nice system.... scyteks are very reasonable and work great i have 2 of them 1 on my grand am gt the other on my truck .they are pretty easy to install ....good luck

battery's all the way i have ran both and the cap seems to take more to charge than it puts out.....
