First I would like to start of with saying I just recieved my Pioneer DEH-80PRS after being told that since its the new year and it was on back order when purchased, I may not get one. But I did so AWESOME!!!! Anyways, here goes the question. I purchased a MB Quart FX1.600 a while back, for the longest time I never had the Gain knob mounted to anything so I would use the knob itself to lift it into position to hold and turn it the knob. Well over time this made the knob able to easily slip off, and now, it's so bad that depending on how the rod is positioned, it will cut the bass in and out like its going from min to max, with just the shit of the knob. I was going to be doing work on my car this weekend, and was going to take it out, and open it up and see if I could work some magic. If I am unable to work said magic, what would be my best option as far as obtaining a new one, or even get it fixed?

track 5 is the worst

so in theory you could get another alt wiring pigtail and wire it along with the factory alt and make it a two into one back to the factory harness car side? From what I was told yes, That is the same exact way I asked when i was looking into this, and they told me yes. But I don't want to be help responsible lol lol right on i understand but some answers are better than no answers, atleast with a little bit of info i could research it some more and get a definate answer. i dont mean to shoot you down im just sayin. thanks for the help dude i appreciate it Yeah man no prob, no worries either, all understandable. Good luck on dual alts!

Honestly it was a VERY slight smell. I know what a fully blown coil smells like and this did not smell nearly that strong. I did stop and check the sub and amp after I smelled it and neither were hot, only a little warm, and like I said above it did not get any worse Amps will almost always get pretty warm when slamming, subs can too just not as warm as a amp can without having to worry. Once things get hot to the touch is when you need to look into things.

Lol I had the same questions when I thought about doing this. Now the only other thing you need to think about, is how to get the second alt wired to your eletrical system. I dont mean that either by its power wire to your battery. I mean the harness that connects to it from your car components telling it what to do, that's what you need to figure out.

RCA voltage is 4 volts. I have no way to set the gain accurately. I can get a hold of a dmm but I have read that it is not a great way to set your gains It is better than by ear by far. I used a DMM for the longest and never blew my subs. Use a DMM, and get the voltage that is stated you need, and just back off a tad. That is what I always did until I got my DD-1.

Set your gains properly, depending on the input voltage from the RCA's, you could still be clipping. And I really never heard of new woofers having coil smell. Mine never did.

Seriously, screams Ca-Lean!!!!

Hey steve, do you have your own server, or do you lease one from someone?

Oh shit, I didnt even know that you guys didn't make it! I thought it was one of your own prodcuts you guys had created. Well good to see then, thanks for the replies guys!!!

I remember talking to a Rep over emails once, and he said that Alpha damp may not be in stock for ever, I see it is no longer availible and I have been living under a rock. How long ago was it taken off the site, and any plans for it?

Yes the AQ 120.4 has a BP feature on it, only reason I am choosing that over RF multi channels

Kool shit for putting them up there like that! Support small businesses!!!

Whats the enclosure going to be like?! 2k on that thing should be intense.

How come sometimes only the center screen would show, and the 2 sides ones would delay to show picture. Also, how do you even set up 3 monitors lol

I mentioned once on another forum that I tuned my system with the DD-1 and I got flamed lol

Man that thing looks so wicked.

Get some more server powwwaa!!!!

Update torres, when I did, all my boxes stats where changed

That's kind of how this place is now. Someone shows what they got, then people say, oh you should have gotten this or trade it for that. :/ I just ignore those people, if everyone did, they would stop. Self-governance is wonderful but I suppose online where there is no identity such a suggestion is heresy. Excellent component choice anyhow my last big PC build had an original XPower in it, loved that board. Yeah you just ignore those people... but imagine you have 10 times the amount of people telling you what you should do like steve would have. Can see how it could get annoying. Easier to just cut it out from the start. Not arrogance. exactly. It was a disclaimer that i don't need anyones help, before they even start. Basically saying "thanks, but no thanks". Some people always get feelings hurt when i say something as simple and polite as "no thanks". I can't even be nice about it without someone who isn't even involved getting their feelings hurt. Generally, in everything i do, i always have SOMEONE who wants to tell me what i should have done, after i already did it. Anyway, Did it help? not really. In this case it was a good thing since i was dead set on getting 3 cards. I would have found out but then again i would have kept the extra 690 and bought another to upgrade my own pc. So no big deal. But still, it was good advice. Well in the case Steve since you already bought 3, might as well dedicate one to PhsyX lool nope i didn't get it, today i planned on ordering them......hence the reason i am glad the homie pointed that out. I was just saying, it wouldn't have been the end of the world, i woulda just kept it for my personal PC I get ya, well ya good thing you did post it hahaha, or you could have sent it to me I'll pay the shipping

Kudos to those who get something, I blew all my money already so I can't get myself a 2k
