traxxas101

depends what the voltage is when the car is on. traxxas. have you even tried anything that i have said? you cant just ask questions then not diagnose it yourself. hes running 13.8 soomething guys and i found out the power circuitry in the amp was bad and freaked out when it was fed 13.8 instead of just 12v from the batt so he got a new amp

8 gauge 40amp fuse

sadly no.. but before i sold him this amp i had it in my bed room hooked up to two 12" pioneers powered by a lawnmower battery of all things haha its been bangin for about 2 years no problems(: then i put it in his camaro and i get problems!??

alright i had the remote hooked up to the 12v ignition on the fuse box, so when he hit the key the amp turned on.. no prob there and i unplug the rcas and turned on the amp with the car running it still did it! and btw.. agian the amp is fine when the car is off.. its a Phoenix Gold R2.0:1 Octane R 2.0:1 amp powering a 10 inch infinity sub at 4ohms.. the amp does this with nothing hooked to it just the - and + with a jumper off the + for a remote.. still does it im thinkin the + power cable is messed up somewhere along the line

if a wire is jumped from amp + to remote (which he did as a test), the amp should work perfectly fine. its the same exact thing as having a headunit's amp turn on lead wired up to it. amps draw a max of what, like .5 amps through the remote wire? unless his remote wire run is 30 gauge and 40 feet long, this doesnt cause the problem he's talking about. agreed!

thank you sir=)

so run my romote to one of the accessories fuses in the fuse box??

Its goes in and out of protect at a pace to guys it like its does 2 cycles of on and off every second

Alright my buddy has to come over another day.. I jus dont get why the amp would run fine when the car is off but into an out of protect when its running.. Idk lol im gonna go crazy!

Hey guys im installing my friends system right and i got everything hooked up and he wanted everything to be oem intergrated so i did and everything works when the car off.. Amp stays on and sounds good! When i start the car the amp start to go into protect and then out almost like its flickerin on and off.. WTF!!! Idk whys its doin this can you guy plz explain i checked the ground but not the positive lead yet so idk also i put a volt meter and its like 13.8 when the amp is off but when i turn it on it drops to about 12.6 then cuts on and off when the cars running.. Member the amp is at idle Plzz get back soon guys i need ur help!

i now have it hooked up with a 10 inch infinity and.... it bumps just a lil it distorts pretty easy so id say its a piece of haha anyways thanks for yalls feedback!

what about u.s amps guys?

Phoenix Gold Octane-R 2.0:1 - Amplifier - 2-channel: The Octane-R series is it any good and i cannot find how many watts this thing is!!

this amps like $94 and it has 4 and 5 stars on audiosavings..?

hi guys im just wondering about the autotek amps? 1200watt super sport actually.. anyways how are they? be practical please

Your choice, I think... depends on how your box is designed based on where you're mounting it (size considerations) and then which (slotted or round or other) accommodates your sub(s) and your space... have you got a box design? with the c.f. info along with the displacement info of you particular sub(s), etc. you can tune your box port accordingly... if you're just asking aesthetic preference, i've always like round ports... so rlly its you prefrence.. but i like circle ports because theres no edges to restrict or cause port noise... btw... Keep the port(s) as far away from the enclosure sides and back as possible except for the slot type port. Make sure the inside end of a tube or square port is at least the equivalent of one vent diameter away from the back of the box or any bracing materials.Keep the vent free from anything that may affect air flow through it.The port should also be placed as far away from the speaker cone as practical.

i think about 0.07ft per sub if u have the box divided or about 0.14 for both together jus calculate the area of your port and it your sum should tell u how long it should be..

i already know this lol i kinda thought you guys would expect that.. you know what your talking about! lol im getting the heads done, block redone and the cylinders honed.. so anyways it'll be practically brand new when im done

ive been looking for a while now i was jus wondering if you guys knew of any! ive got my old motor, btw i have a 97 silverado 1500 with the 5.7 vortec.. i hate the intake on that stupid motor.. 4 blown intake gaskets! this time it was leaking water into my oil and i spun a main and rod bearing! soo.. i think im gonna rebuilt it myself i alredy pulled it out and broke it down thats how i know what happened.. and i think i can get a rebuilt kit for like $425 so.. yea i think im gonna rebuilt it!(:

hi guys anyone know of A 5.7 VORTEC engine for sale i have about$1000 and thats it so anyone kno of one? im in jacksonville btw

hi guys just wondering what you think about the phoenix gold car audio? is it any good??

thanks. and yeam imma put plenty of that shit on there! i found that taking a cup and turning it over on top of the dust cap and adding a weight or something heavy works while its drying!

Actually speedball1978 i think it is about 35hz not exactly sure i have measure the box and calculate my port area to see but im sure its about 33-35hz its pretty low .. I like my low end(: and my pioneers are pretty cheap subs but they have alot excursion since the motor is designed to handle it.. And they like that low tuning so.. Anyways yea its about 33-35hz

Not rlly.. I bought my box online and it made everything soo much easier! It wa a box tuned to 33hz and it was 1.25cu perfect for my pioneer subs i have 1500 watts to them and the box only was about $80 so its cheaper that way anyways! And btw the box fit perfect and everything! Rlly easy to install and it had ports on the front in the middle it was a very nice box.. Just look up 97 silverado or w/e year ur truck is there all the same anyway i think thats the best way to go bc i couldve built a box but... I was to lazy=)
