    Hey all. A few really, really newb questions. As you all might know I'm new to car audio but very, very interested so ...

    1) I believe it's made by RF, the 3Sixty; what is it, how does it improve your system, etc? I've read about it somewhere but it, somehow, didn't help.

    2) So I have come to realize some amps are "mono" and some are multi-channeled. Why is this? Just makes it easier to route to multiple subs and/or a huge amount of power can't come through one cable?

    3) So what; exactly; is an ohm? I realize it's something to do with impedence or resistance, but why do we want them or don't want them? I realize this is stupid but you gotta start somewhere!

    Thanks guys!

  11. System Tutorial ... ?

    Hey all,

    I've been doing lots of research about car audio, put a small system in my car (had it professionally installed though ... ) and love bass!

    I don't know much about the mechanics and building, electricity portions, installation, box building, etc...

    Anyone know of a tutorial that covers everything from wattage, amperage, current, wire size, amps, subs, box building, etc to decibel levels and SPL vs SQL, everything car audio?

    I want to learn more but if I don't know the relationship between an amp and a watt, I'm a little stuck :)

    Thanks a bunch and forgive my ignorance

  20. Shorted Out My Amp?

    Okay so my brother took my car to Tahoe this weekend and I just got it back tonight. I rewired the (2 12") subs up, and went to get my screwdriver for the amp. I had unsrewed the 12V battery wire from the amp because I didn't want power to it while the subs weren't in. When I go to screw it back in I see sparks and it smells like something is burning. Okay, I blew the fuse?

    Nope, because when I try the subs it works. They aren't playing that loud, though ...

    This means that the fuse in the amp isn't broken because they work, right? But, it really isn't that loud at all. I'm thinking sometime in the last few weeks I blew out one or both of my subs. So I go to check them out in the back and they are both (seemingly) working fine.

    I know this is going to be hard to comment on, but any advice?

    Thank you all and I hope I didn't ruin / break anything .. .I'm really new to all of this.

    Thanks again,

    Matthew

    Okay thank you SO much for allt aht help

    i understand everything you said ( i bought a converter as well, the wires match waht you described)

    but i don't know how to take the head unit out and also how I would run the wires

    because the wires obviously aren't going to be going through the middle of the car....

    soo that means they have to go behind the head unit somewhere and end up in teh back of my car which i dont know how to do

    the main prob. is getting the head unit off..

    i can popp off the plastic pltae that goes on in front of the head unit, but can't pull it all the way off (maybe i have to take the steering column off?)

    help?

    thx so much so far u guys and i hope i can get this working its fustrating haha
