Don't worry, not many shops have o-scopes, which I think is a shame. Something else you should check is crossover settings. I'm not familiar with your amps or head unit specificually....but you should set your crossover frequencies so the speakers sound good. When a 6.5" speaker tries to play bass...

I'm running 2 - 6 1/2 Sony and 2-4X6 Pioneer speakers and at high volume the system seems to cut out, comes back on and then cuts out agian, and so on and so on. What can cause this? It seemed to work fine day one and two after...

I have an 01 Maxima and i have had an amp and box installed. My original set was okay. I just got my friends box which was [extremely] loud ... in his car. It's no where near loud...barely audible in fact... [mod edit: language] Is it more than likely that the genius who installed it originally...

Hey guys, as you can see I'm new here. :P. But I am ordering 2 Alpine Type R subs, they are both 2ohm impedance. And I was thinking about powering them with a Power Acoustik GOTHIC OV2-1600, I was wondering if that was too much power or not enough power. (I was also wondering what gauge speaker wire...

I'm having trouble finding a amp to suit my subs. I have two Rockford Fosgate P3SD212 12" subs in a sealed box, and I cant find a amplifier to run both of them at the recommended wattage.

Hey everyone, Ok, so I wanted to find this out before I buy this amplifier. But I currently have one 12" MB Quart subwoofer, possibly putting a 2nd in soon. I have a 600 watt amp by Power Acoustik, but it's just not enough "bump" for me. So I was shopping online and found a 1600 watt 4-channel amplifier...

I just bought 2 of these Infiniti subs (awesome deal) to go in a custom enclosure under the rear seat of my 07 Sierra Denali. They are dual voice coil 4 ohms, and I read on the sight that a 2 channel amp would be preferred for this type of sub, instead of a mono amp. They handle 250 RMS each. I have...

I posted another thread thinking I had problems with my battery/alternator which was causing my amp to malfunction. Now I realize that isn't the case. When I start my car, the Protect light comes on and then fades away. It's an Infinity 7541a with 4 channels. Two channels go to the front speakers...

I decided I'm finally going to look into amping my system in my 2002 Jeep Wrangler. The soft top on my Wrangler lets quite a bit of road noise in, so I want a little bit of extra head room as far as clean volume without distortion. Also, I've been told that adding an Amp can also help with improveing...
