that Amp "behind the glass case" - What amp DID you want that you NEVER got?
Toady replied to meade916's topic in Amplifiers
Was able to secure my dream amp a year ago. The Memphis Mojo 4kw -
The best thing i can say man is, you need to add up the total amount of Amps that your car would be pulling if you ran that monster. Before we can give a good answer we would have to know how many mids and high amps you are planning on running and work with it from there. Honestly from my opinion considering a Dc 12k is underrated i would say with your current electrical system it would be enough to turn it on and (Maybe) run it on low power. The lower the ohm load depends on it aswell. I'd say you could probably throw 2 more of those batteries on it (4 total plus optima) and you would be perfectly fine. Again this information is just from what ive seen, somebody will probably chime in thats ran one before or currently runs one.

I grew up loving audio in every way. I started messing with it and putting systems together when i was 12. I started with simple headunit installs and worked my way up. I still learn new things til this day. The way i look at it we all have to start somewhere. You are doing good man you have the desire to learn more and to pursue car audio further on. Just keep working at it and you will do good man. This site has tons and tons of info, tricks, techniques, material, and tips you can use to do anything that you want. its helped me out alot, i hope it can do the same for you man. Everything comes with time..

Hey guys i have a 1982 Slammed k5 Blazer with shaved door handles and poppers installed. The problem is with the door fully closed and with the button on the remote pushed you can hear the popping noise but the door doesnt move. With the door fully closed and pushing the button it pops open with no problems. with the door latched but not fully closed it will pop perfectly with remote and button. Im having a hard time with this issue. Its weird that fully closed the button will open it but the remote doesnt. Any help at all will be appreciated guys

Need help...
Toady replied to kogwanted's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
I love how you say Type R's dont get that loud. Ive ran them for awhile now and in the right box on good power they will do decent numbers and get pretty loud. As to the op we cannot tell you yes or no. It depends on how well the box is designed. my opinion is 2 12s have more cone area so if the box is designed right should be your choice. But i dont own the vehicle and i didnt design the boxes so try them both and tell us how it sounds -

12" Rockford Fosgate P1 or 10" Sony Xplod 1100 watt

Nice posting that vid man. Alot of truth comes out in that vid -

Toady replied to Twizzle209's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
Honestly man, do what you think is right, im not trying to change your mind. When it comes to rms yes 300rms vs 150 rms is more wattage. But when installed right in the right box the Rockford can handle more than 150 rms daily. Ive had customers throwing 600 watts unclipped to it all day years without problems. But like i said it also depends on enclosure and power thrown at it whether or not its been tuned right Edit. Before i saw the vid posted. not trying to push rockford products, just between the 2 subs given i posted my opinion -

Toady replied to Twizzle209's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
First off welcome to the forum. Honestly if i were you making he decision i would probably take the rockford sub. Higher wattage sub and you might actually like the quality better. Have you ever thought about going bigger like for example, custom ported sub enclosure, or upgraded wires, or bigger amps or subs. Browse through this site you will see awesome products that people are using from SMD partners and more, you will see lots of advice on how to build and install. One thing i learned quick back in the day is that your box pretty much makes your install. If you have a crappy box or prefrabricated you are cheating yourself out of sound and quality. A good box will make your system shine even will a lower end sub... Good Luck Bro -
Anyone into archery
Toady replied to chronic2001's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
just got into archery. I have a PSE Reaper and a Barnett Ghost 400 Crossbows. mainly just do target practice for now with some field points, but just bought a case of broadheads for some hunting later on, I really like the feel of the crossbows but thinking about adding in a compound or a recurve -

Just got pm'd another question Question: I have a 2004 ford ranger why when I shift does my brake and abs light illuminate on the dash and my turn signals quit working. Answer: A common problem of this happening is lack of insulation on a wire inside the column. After a long period of time the insulation on a small black wire inside of the steering column that runs from the shifter will run and wear through the insulation, this will cause the power to ground and pop the #20 fuse behind the passenger side kick panel. This will cause turn signals to stop and a couple of lights to illuminate on the dash, also cruise will stop working. Reinsulate the wiring using either heatshrink or electrical tape and problem is fixed.
